论元曲家对屈原的评价

随着传统信仰的失落,处于社会最底层的元曲家对封建政治的价值普遍采取了否定的态度。元代黑暗的社会现实又促进了“避世”思想的膨胀,成为中国避世哲学的和声,并在元散曲中得到了充分的体现。貌似游戏文字的散曲,能更自然地流露在传统诗词里不易流露的真情,发泄内心的牢骚。基于上述原因,元曲家对屈原的忠君爱国、清廉、独醒等为历代文人所推崇的传统美德进行了重新评价,将其作为对立面予以了彻底的否定。

On Yuan Melodists' Comments about Quyuan

With the declination of the traditional beliefs,Yuan melodists of lower society all showed negative attitudes to feudal politics.Besides,the dark reality of Yuan Dynasty accelerated the spread of the idea of retirement from the world,which became a kind of philosophy expressed fully in the melody.Yuan melody,seemingly a kind of playwork,could properly express the feelings and complaints which could be done neither in poetry nor in ci.Therefore the Yuan melodists made new comments on Quyuan's such virtues as loyalty to the lord,patriotics,uprightness and wakefulness which were praised by previous literary men.As a result,they negated his virtues.
