《草堂诗余》考辨

The Analysis of Cao Tang Shi Yu

南宋中期以来书坊编的词选集《草堂诗余》盛行。该集今存分类本与分调本两系,版本众多而复杂,涉及诸多词学问题。文章从幸存最早之明初分类本提供的线索,推测宋本之原貌实为歌本。明初增修笺注本,原出宋季书坊所编,已是纯文学读本。明代中期词学家据分类本重编的分调本,则具有词谱的性质,可供填词者之用;其所选词调大都为宋人常用之调,所选之词乃当时流行的通俗作品,尤其不杂入声诗及其他韵文诸体,故对促进词体文学创作的发展,具有重大的词学史意义。

Since the middle of the Southern Song dynasty, a collection of selected lyrics compiled by the bookshop has been in vogue, known as Cao Tang Shi Yu. The editions are numerous and complex, involving many issues of lyricism. From the clues provided by the earliest preserved classified text in the early Ming dynasty, it can be assumed that the edition in Song dynasty was originally a lyrics-based text. Newly annotated edition in the early Ming Dynasty originally compiled by Songji bookshop is a literary text.In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, lyricists recompiled the subtonal edition according to the classified edition, which had the character of word spectrum and could be used by lyricists;its selected lexical tunes are mostly those commonly used in Song dynasty, and the words chosen are popular popular works of the time, especially those not mixed with poems and other rhymes, so it is of great lexicalhistorical significance in promoting the development of the literary genre.
