《诗经·匏有苦叶》歧解辨析--兼论《诗经》解释的方法问题

An Analysis of Divergent Interpretations of “Waiting for Her Fiance” in the Book of Poetry: with a Discussion of the Interpretation Method of the Book of Poetry

汉代以来,《诗经·匏有苦叶》歧解纷呈,号为难读。历代诸家解释大致可归为刺淫、审时两说,均不脱先立旨、后说诗的俗套。今人立足文本的新见解虽能一扫旧说,还其民歌面目,却因其"四章不接"而遭诟病。若能以场景解释法来解读文本,则可得到一幅以婚恋为主题的不同时节的渡口风俗画,从而也避免了传统解《诗》先入为主的思维局限。

There have been various interpretations of the piece "Waiting for Her Fiance" in the Book of Poetry since the Han dynasty,which can be generally classified as a lascivious poem or one piece on judging the situation,and either of them escapes the pattern of putting the purpose before interpretation.Although contemporary understanding can restore the true color as a folk song,it is criticized for considering the four sections as being discordant.If using the way of contextualization,we can get a genre painting on ferry with the theme of love and marriage in different seasons,and thus the limitation of preconception can be avoided.
