试论中国新诗形式的演变(1917-1927)

On the Evolution of the Form of Chinese New Poetry (1917-1927)

在中国新诗研究史上,诗歌形式演变是一个重要的研究维度。新诗研究不外乎对"诗形"和"诗质"两方面的探索。大体上看,新诗是在"自由"与"格律"的此消彼长中渐进发展的,并在不同的历史阶段,反映出各异的文化心理和审美趋向。论文以1917-1927年有代表性的新诗形体为例,从历时性角度探讨新诗形式演变发生的时代背景、具体特征及其呈现出的意义价值。而围绕"白话诗""自由诗""格律诗"等展开的论述,有效彰显了不同时期新诗形式演变的内在规律。

In the research of Chinese new poetry, evolution of the poetry form is an important dimension. Past studies on new poetry have mostly focused on the two aspects of 'poetry form' and 'poetry quality'. Generally speaking,new poetry is under the alternating influence of 'freedom' and 'rhyme' and its progressive development shows different cultural psychology and aesthetic tendencies in different periods of history. This essay takes the new poetry of 1917-1927 as an example and seeks to shed some light on the historical evolution of poetry form in terms of the social background, its specific characteristics and its significance. And the discussion on the 'vernacular poems','free verse' and 'metrical poetry' reveals the intrinsic rules governing the evolution of poetry form in different periods of history.
