先秦两汉诗歌体式嬗变考论

ON THE EVOLUTION OF POETIC FORMS BEFORE THE QIN DYNASTY AND IN THE TWO HAN DYNASTIES

考察了先秦、两汉的二言、四言、骚体、乐府与五七言古体等诗歌体式的嬗变轨迹,阐述了五七言诗体之所以滞后的原因,认为古代诗歌体式的嬗变呈简朴向繁富发展的趋势。其内因主要是因汉语特点而形成的齐言化与杂言化、音乐化与诗化、俗化与雅化、自由化与格律化等多对矛盾的影响。

This essay studies the evolution process of Chinese poetic forms, which includes poems before the Qin Dynasty(221-207B.C)with two words in a line in the Han Dynasties, with four words in a line ,Saoti(poetic form in the tradition of Li Sao by Qu Yuan),Yue Fu(collection of songs and poems)and with five and seven words in a line.The writer elaborates the reason why poems with five and seven words in a tine lagged behind and thinks that the evolution process of poetic forms was from simplicity to complication. The internal reason was that Chinese language is apt to be influenced by several pairs of contradiction, including language's uniformization and disorderization; musicalization and poetization; vulgarization and refinization; liberalization and rhyme's patternization 
