沈佺期应制诗探析

Analysis of Imperial Ordered Poems by Shen Quanqi

应制诗与中国封建君主专制制度关系密切,《诗经》中记载的宴飨诗是应制诗的萌芽,应制诗创作经过不断地积累和完善,至唐代达到顶峰。沈佺期是初唐后期典型的应制诗人,其应制诗创作与他的宫廷任职经历息息相关,是他跌宕起伏人生的缩影,对其现存37首应制诗题材类别的分析有利于了解唐代宫廷生活及风俗人情。沈佺期应制诗艺术形式上的特点主要体现在题目的相对稳定性、“三部式”结构及尾联的程式化表达、诗中语词的重复以及数量词、叠词的运用三个方面,这些诗歌对盛唐气象具有开拓之功,也为律诗的定型作出了贡献。

The imperial ordered poemswere closely related to the feudal Chinese monarchy,beginning with the banquet poems recorded in the Book of Songs,developing and reaching the peakin the Tang Dynasty.Shen Quanqi is a typical poet of this kindin the late early Tang Dynasty.His creation of the imperial ordered poems is closely related to his experience of serving in the court,and is the epitome of ups and downs in his life.The analysis of the themes of his 37existing poems is conducive to understanding the court life and customs of the Tang Dynasty.The artistic characteristics of these poems are mainly reflected in the relative stability of the titles,the“three-part”structure and the stylized expression of the ending couplet,the repetition of words,and theuse of quantifiers and reduplication.Shen’s poems pioneered the poetic description of the High Tang period,andcontributed to the set patterns of regulated poetry.
