明代山右散曲四家考论

明代山右散曲四家之中 ,常伦和刘良臣较为突出 ,常氏散曲可分为“言情”、“慕仙向道”、“诗酒风流”、“鄙弃功名”、“寄寓抒怀”五大类。五类之中 ,“慕仙向道”和“诗酒风流”类以表层的轻松写深层的痛楚 ,一定程度上反映了明代中叶失意士大夫的复杂心态。“寄寓抒怀”类则写得朦胧、迷离 ,有一定的审美价值 ,整体上看 ,常伦的散曲呈现出“豪放飘逸”的风格 ,在明代北派散曲中 ,占据着重要的一席 ,差可与冯海浮、康对山等大家比肩。刘氏散曲 ,则以描写田园生活的作品最为突出 ,不仅弥补了散曲流派中“田园”一派的空白 ,而且具有相当的艺术成就 ,理应引起研究者的注意。另外两家 ,杨杰写“闺情” ,宁斋写“歌颂” ,题材、思想、表现均流于“时尚” ,未足深论。仅宁斋《元夜》曲 ,描写当时元夜民俗曲艺活动 ,对民俗、戏曲研究有一定的参考价值

On Four Sanqu Writers of Shanxi Province in Ming Dynasty

Among four writers,CHANG Lun and LIU Liang chen distinguished themselves from the other two. CHANG's works,which can be devided into five kinds by contents,are characterized by an unconstrained and elegant style,and CHANG was thus ranked among the outstanding writers of Sanqu in Ming period. LIU Liang chen's works focused mainly on village life. He could be regarded as "village school" and "Tao Qian" in Sanqu area. The other two,YANG Jie mainly described woman feelings while NING Zhai sang the praises for the ruler. Neither of them is worth paying more attention,execept that the Eve Song(by NING Zhai) in which the folklore then was vividly depicted may do good to the study of ancient folklore and dramas.
