宋词的音乐文学性质

宋词属于燕乐歌辞,所结合的是燕乐系统的民间新声。宋人倚声制词建立了规范,创造了真正的律词,使中国音乐文学进入古典时代。宋人不断采用新声以丰富词的音乐性,但又出现模仿典范作品格律而创作的倾向,遂演变为依词调格律填词。这样,宋词发展为独立的民族文学形式。

The nature of the musical literature in Songci

Songci belongs to Yanyue Geci,which is a kind of soft music in the Tang Dynasty and what it links are the new folk musical forms of the Yanyue system. People in the Song Dynasty like making Ci according to the tunes of music. They set up some Standards and create the real Luci, which ushers the classical times of the Chinese musical literature. People in the Song Dynasty adopt new musical forms without stopping to enrich the musical nature of Ci,but the tendency that people produce their works through imitating the metrical patterns of the model works comes into being. Little by little,that tendency has developed into the phenomenon that Ci is made by way of tunes and metres. So Songci has evolved into an independent national literary form.
