徐陵,不是典型的宫体诗人

徐陵是梁陈时代追随简文帝萧纲的重要作家,历来都认为他的诗轻靡淫艳,是一个典型的宫体诗人。然而徐陵并没有始终与简文帝相伴相随,他曾离开宫廷,出使北魏,且羁留长达七八年之久;入陈以后,特别是陈后主即位与狎客大作艳诗之时,徐陵却已悄然作古。因此,徐陵似无大量写作宫体诗的可能。从他所遗留的作品看,无论其内容还是风格,实难简单地以"宫体诗"来论定。从某种意义上来说,徐陵不是典型的宫体诗人。对徐陵及其诗歌的重新认识,实际也关涉如何正确评价和认定宫体诗的问题。

Xu Ling, a Non-typical Court Style Poet

Xu Ling was an important writer during the Liang and Chen Dynasties. He is generally considered to be a typical court style poet because of his frivolous poems. But, basing on the content and the styles of his poems, we can not make sure that his poetry is of court style. In a sense, he is not a typical court style poet at all. Therefore, it is important to re-recognize Xu Ling and his poetry as they are important to the evaluation of the court style poetry.
