新格律体如何可能--重论新诗的格律问题

How a New Metrical Style Is Possible:Rearguing the Metrical Problems of New Poetry

自由诗虽然在当代新诗坛仍然占据着绝对主导的地位,但同时也存在接受范围日趋狭窄、接受程度日益降低等问题,而新诗重新回归格律的看法和实践也一直存在。因此,有必要对新诗的格律问题重新加以考察,以更好地思考新诗的发展路径。新格律体诗既可以从中国五、七言诗与西方格律诗那里借鉴顿数与押韵的规律,也可以从词体中借鉴节奏模式。相对于旧格律体的“严格的重复”,新格律体是宽松的,因而可以容纳更多的“现代感性”;相对于自由诗的“变异的重复”,它又是规整的,较容易在作诗者与读诗者之间形成某种“视野融合”。注重形式的规范与要求形式的解放同样重要,新格律诗的探索和实践对于发挥汉语优势、丰富意蕴表达以及促进诗体建设具有积极意义。

The new metrical poetry can borrow the rules of staccato and rhyme from Chinese five-character quatrain and seven-character quatrain and Western metrical poetry,as well as the rhythmic patterns of ci genre.Compared with the"strict repetition"of the old metrical style,the new metrical style is loose,and thus can accommodate more"modern sensibility;"as opposed to the"variant repetitions"of free verse,it is regular and easier to create a sort of"fusion of horizons"between the writer and the reader of the poem.
