“莫漫”重考

The Explanations of Moman(莫漫)

“莫漫”在古典诗词中很常见,前贤有代表性的意见认为其“为同义复词,犹言不许、不要”。我们从诗律对仗的角度入手,发现共时历时材料都不支持这一看法。对仗句中的“莫漫”都不是同义连用,而是“不要胡乱/随便”或“不要空/徒劳”。同类结构“休漫”、唐诗异文材料以及一些非对仗结构中的上下文意都支持“莫漫并非同义复用”这一结论。

Moman(莫漫)is very common in classical poetry,but it is a troublesome problem to interpret.The representative opinions of the predecessors hold that it should be a synonymous structure,and means forbidden or not allowed.From the point of view of rhythm poem antithesis,we find that Moman(莫漫)in both synchronic and diachronic antithesis sentences is not synonymous.It should be understood as don't be casual or don't try in vain.This conclusion can be supported by the similar structure of Xiuman(休漫),the different materials in Tang(唐)poetry and the contextual meaning in some non-antithetical structures.
