唐高宗武后朝郊庙歌辞的创作及其特征

The Creation and Characteristics of the Songs of the Temples in the Suburbs during Tang Dynasty(from Emperor Gaozong to Empress Wu Zetian)

唐高宗、武后(含中宗、睿宗)时期,郊庙歌辞的撰写有着非常特殊的意义。此时的郊庙歌辞具有很强的政治性,它不再是简单的对上天和先祖的歌颂,而是朝廷政治的最直接反映,甚至成为政治斗争的工具。除高宗时期郊庙歌辞数量较少外,武后前期的郊庙歌辞多为其篡唐作舆论准备。中宗和睿宗时期的郊庙歌辞,则显示出对李唐复国及拨乱反正的祝颂。这个时段的郊庙歌辞虽然歌辞拟古,文学性不强,但其政治背景及其所包含的政治意义却耐人寻味。

During the period ruled by Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian(including Zhongzong and Ruizong),the writing of the songs of the suburban temples has a very special meaning.At this time,the suburban temple songs are very political-related.It does not worship God and the ancestors anymore,and it became the most direct reflection of politics and even a means of political struggle.Except for a small number of songs during Gaozong period,many songs were created in order to prepare Wu Zetian to become the Empress.During the time of Zhongzong and Ruizong,songs were used to celebrate the reincarnation.Even though the lyrics of the suburban temples during this time tended to mimic the ancient style and literary flavor was not strong,but the political background and meaning contained in these lyrics were worth of studying.
