论刘永济《词论》视域下的《诵帚词》

A Comment on Song Zhou Ci from the Perspective of Ci Theory by Liu Yongji

以刘永济《词论》为指导,将词学理论与创作实践相结合,对其《诵帚词》会有更深刻的认识:宏观上,它以“实录”精神客观反映抗日战争的凄惨场景,以独立自由的人格和慷慨豪迈的风度,从容地传达战争中一位知识分子的真实心声,使得其词既有衰飒凄凉的感人格调,又有沉雄悲壮的宏大气象。微观上,他转益多师,得唐宋名家神髓,并通晓词体格律,以古色古香的语言,彰显《诵帚词》性灵与学力兼备而出之自然的艺术魅力。《词论》“风会说”进一步奠定了《诵帚词》在抗战词坛上的主流地位,刘永济是当之无愧的现代词坛大师。

A more profound understanding of Song Zhou Ci by Liu Yongji can be achieved with the help of his academic work Ci Theory when the theories and the creation are combined together.On a macro level,it objectively reflects the tragic scenes of the Anti-Japanese War in a way of“recording facts”,and calmly conveys the true aspirations of an intellectual in the war with the independent and free personality and generous and heroic demeanor,which makes the work both sad and touching in style and solemn and grand in atmosphere.On the micro level,Liu Yongji learned from many teachers,acquired the essence of some celebrated scholars in the Tang and Song Dynasties,and was familiar with the styles and patterns of Ci,which enabled him to highlight the natural artistic charm of Song Zhou Ci by combining the spirit and academic power in an antique language.The discussion on the schools of Ci-poetry in Ci Theory has further laid the significant status of Song Zhou Ci among the Anti-Japanese War Ci-poetry and it is no doubt that Liu Yongji is a master of modern Ci-poetry.
