角色转换与“词为艳科”

The Role Conversion and "Ci-poetry as an Amorous Discipline

与传统的诗文作品相比 ,唐宋词坛上最令人注目的文学景观即是所谓的“词为艳科” ,而其形成实与词人由其正统士大夫文人的原型变形为风流才子的特种角色转换存在着密切的关联。本文重点探析词人产生上述角色转换的原因 :他们内心固有的角色矛盾和角色冲突 (人性与士大夫身份之间的矛盾 ,情欲与封建礼法之间的冲突 )是其内在动因 ,而词之有异于诗文的创作环境和独特体性则构成其外部诱因和有利条件。改从角色转换的视角审视“词为艳科”的文学现象 ,就能对后者的形成原因作出更深的揭示和合理的诠释。

As compared with traditional poetry and prose, the most notorious and attractive literary scene in the Tang and Song ci-poetic circles was so-called 'ci-poetry as an amorous discipline', which came into being with orthodox scholars becoming a kind of graceful and romantic ones. The reason of their role conversion lay in the intrinsic contradiction and conflict between the human nature and their role as orthodox literati and between sexual desire and feudalist ritual disciplines; besides, the artistic environment for writing poems and essays differed from that for composing ci-poetry, which formed the extrinsic condition of their changes of role. We can find out the underlying and profound reasons for the formation of the literary phenomenon of 'ci-poetry as an amorous discipline' by way of the role conversion of those literati.
