吹箫说剑销魂味——定庵词心初探

On the Essence of Ci by GONG Zi-zhen

定庵词象他的诗、文一样,是由"箫心"和"剑气"两相激荡,风雷奋作,蓄势既久,故而不得不发。而"箫心"和"剑气"各自代表了优美与壮美的不同意境和风格,定庵将这一对矛盾的美学范畴有机地统一在词中,熔铸成亦剑亦箫,壮优兼美的"侠骨幽情",形成了绵丽飞扬,雄奇哀艳的总体艺术风格,从而奠定了他在文学史上的地位。

Just like his poems and his writings, GONG Zi_zhen'Ci (statement poetry originating in Tang dynasty and flourishing during the Song dynasty) is made up of 'Xiaoxin' and 'Jianqi'. Because both of them are latent so long that they will have to be expressed. 'Xiaoxin' and 'Jianqi' represent different kinds of styles and moods. 'Xiaoxin' means a graceful mood and 'Jianqi' means a magnificent sight. But Mr.Gong combines this pair of contradictions into a whole article.By this way, he generally forms a style which embraces both graceful and magnificent moods and he also settles his place in Chinese literary history.
