论唐宋喜雨赋的主题内容与言说策略

On the Theme and Speech Strategies of Xiyu Fu in Tang and Song Dynasties

唐宋喜雨赋的主题内容主要是歌功颂德与“有志乎民”。这一主题主要来源于《春秋谷梁传》对“喜雨”“有志乎民”的解读,体现了儒家学者对统治者体恤百姓、与民同喜精神的歌颂。唐代喜雨赋通过集体化书写“有志乎民”这一核心价值,表达对皇帝的歌功颂德。而南宋喜雨赋相对个体化创作则淡化了歌功颂德,对“有志乎民”的书写更加鲜明与直接,体现了宋代士大夫对儒家民本思想的自觉传承与发展。唐宋喜雨赋的书写主要也是一种意识形态叙事,旨在通过以礼制言说、神道设教言说与民本话语言说这三种主要的言说策略来宣示国家意识形态话语权力,实现对君、臣、民等的教化,从而维护国家统治秩序的长期稳定。

The themes of Xiyu Fu(Ode to Seasonable Rain)in the Tang and Song Dynasties are mainly to sing the praises of the ruler and to express“aspirations for the people”.This theme is mainly derived from the interpretation of“Xiyu”and“Aspirations for the People”in The Chunqiu Guliangzhuan(Biography of Gu Liang),which embodies the Confucian scholars’praise of the ruler’s compassion for the people and the spirit of sharing with the people.The Xiyu Fu of the Tang Dynasty expressed its praise to the emperor through the collective writing of the core value of“aspiration to the people”.The relative individualistic creation of Xiyu Fu in the Southern Song Dynasty played down the singing of merits,and the writing of“aspirations for the people”was more vivid and direct,reflecting the conscious inheritance of the Confucian people-oriented thought by the scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty.The writing of Xiyu Fu in the Tang and Song Dynasties is also a kind of ideological narrative,aiming at the civilization of the Monarch,ministers,and the people,etc.,so as to maintain the long-term stability of the country’s ruling order.
