论王闿运对魏晋诗歌的模仿及其模仿观

On Wang Kaiyun's Imitation of the Poems of the Weijin Period and His Idea of Imitation

王闿运在五言诗创作实践中非常重视对魏晋诗歌的模仿,他的模仿观建立在对诗有“家数”“格调”的认识基础上,王闿运平生模仿最为用力的是其所谓的谢诗格调。他对于魏晋诗歌除了对原诗词句层面的模仿外,更为重视模仿诗歌的写作技法。王闿运对魏晋诗歌的模仿行为在五四时期招致很多非议与批评,他模仿的宗旨其实是为了探究诗歌的“古式”与古法,最终是为了“治心”和修养自己的心性,与受强调创新的西方浪漫主义影响的五四时期文学评价标准有很大不同。

Wang Kaiyun attached great importance to imitating poems of the Weijin Period.He believed that every poet had a special style,and on this basis,he emphasized the positive role of imitation in creation.He made great efforts to imitate poems of the Weijin Period.In addition to imitating the words and sentences of the original poems,he also imitated the techniques and the general style of the poems of the Weijin Period.His imitation of the poems of the Weijin Period received much criticism during the May Fourth Movement.As a matter of fact,his imitation aimed to explore the writing methods and styles of ancient Chinese poems,and at the same time to cultivate his own character.Wang Kaiyun's approach to writing was quite different from the literary criteria of Western Romanticism popular during the May Fourth Movement.
