从《钱锺书选唐诗》看钱锺书的唐诗观

Qian Zhongshu’s Poetics in Tang Poetry: A Selection of Qian Zhongshu

《钱锺书选唐诗》是由钱锺书遴选、杨绛抄录的唐诗选本,反映着钱锺书的选诗标准、诗学观念。自选本的内容与特色体察,可从三个方面浅议选者的唐诗观:一是唐启宋调的诗史观,着意体现唐诗开宋调的俗话表达、唐诗显露宋诗“破体”之端倪以及议论化的倾向;二是情艺并重的诗艺观,表现为选目上侧重诗情与诗艺高度融合的诗篇、收入唐人绝句甚夥;三是以诗存史的史料观,选本呈现四唐诗歌之风貌变化、记录诗家人生之行藏出处,且尤为关注晚唐“小家”。概言之,《钱锺书选唐诗》是体现选者诗学观念的唐诗选本,对唐诗学研究、唐诗史研究有着不容小觑的学术价值。
