从《焦尾集序》论韩元吉词

On Han Yuanji's Ci-poems from The Preface to Jiao Wei Ji

韩元吉的《焦尾集序》集中反映了韩氏缘情而尚雅正兼和心的词学思想。其词在措辞和题材内容上有雅正的特点。由于时代变故及自身遭遇,其词脱离了儿女情长的传统题材,缘情而发,反映了时代赋予他的种种无奈。试图疏解而不能,进而竭力避免思考,常常有"拟把疏狂图一醉"及"有花堪折直须折"的心理,这是他为和心而作的表现。因此,他的词虽抒情却情不深,多停留在一个较浅的层次上,从而整体显现出雅正而又浅俗的看似矛盾而实则统一的风格特点。但个别词作雅正而又有旷达之气,是较好的词作。

Han Yuanji's viewpoints on Ci have been mainly reflected in The Preface to Jiao Wei Ji,which is Han's own collection of Ci poems. The diction and content of his Ci-poems are elegant. Due to the vicissitudes of times and his own life circumstances,he separated his Ci-poems from the traditional theme of love and expressed all sorts of helplessness typical of his times and his own experiences. Han tried in vain to relieve these misfortunes. Then he tried to avoid thinking about them. Therefore,he often immersed himself in fleeting happiness and drunkenness.These were his presentations of calming himself. However,his lyrics,though emotionally touching,could not penetrate further. Hence,the stylistic features of The Preface to Jiao Wei Ji were both elegant and shallow. However,there were also some elegant and open-minded poems composed by Han,which deserved academic attention.
