论中国诗歌的分类——对诗歌两分法的质疑

On the Classification of Chinese Poetry --Querying the division of poetry into two

半个世纪以来,我国学术界通行将诗歌分为抒情诗和叙事诗两大类。这种两分法有悖于我国三千年诗歌史的实际,有悖于分类学原理和传统分类法,也有悖于西方文学分类理论,是不全面、不科学的。从我国诗歌的内容性质及基本表达方式看,分为抒情诗、叙事诗、说理诗、写景状物(景物)诗四大类是比较适当的。

Poetry has generally been divided into lyric poems and narrative poems in China's academic world for half the century. This kind of classification goes not only against the actuality of Chinese poetic history but also against the taxological principle and the traditional classification as well as the classified theory of western literature, which is incomplete and unscientific. From the essence of Chinese poetic content and the basic expressive way, it is more proper for the Chiese poetry to be divided into lyric poems, narrative poems, logical poems and scenic poems.
