论词场才子之曲与明中叶散曲之复兴

On the renaissance of Sanqu in the middle of Ming Dynasty

明中叶散曲的复兴,并非如诸论家所言是康海、王九思等北派曲家在前,而是陈铎、王磐、唐寅等南派曲家在前,正是这些词场才子在成化、弘治年间的散曲创作最先促进了明中叶散曲的复兴。他们的散曲作品多属词场应歌之曲,内容以闺情与艳情为主,市井气息较浓,在很大程度上属于青楼文学。词场才子之曲之所以在成、弘时期的江南一带兴起,与时代思潮的变化和竞逐繁华奢靡的社会风气有密切关系。

The southern Sanquwriters of Chen Duo, Wang Pan, and Tang Yin, rather than the northern Sanqu writers of Kang Hai and Wang Jiusi are considered to make their pioneering contribution to the renaissance of Sanquin the middle of Ming Dynasty. The earliest writings by the southern Sanquwriters during the Chenghua and Hongzhi rulings are quite popular in Southern China for their stylistic features of love stories, pornography or erotic descriptions. It is assumed that all this has a lot to do with the cultural factors.
