试论咏史、怀古之关系及其诗学精神

咏史诗初期乃诗人读史而兴感慨,以韵语铺陈史事以鉴戒讽诵或借史抒发个人用世情怀;而怀古诗是由山水行役诗衍生而来,重在抒发感怀叹逝之情。咏史、怀古根本之别乃其内容、旨趣之异。怀古诗的出现影响到咏史诗的写作,随着两者的融合、互渗,对后代那些兼具咏史、怀古特征的诗歌再强分彼此,实无多大意义。

A Probe into the Relation Between Composing Poems for History and Meditating Poems on the Past as Well as the Poetic Consciousness

While the poem for history originated from poets'sighing with emotion when reading historical records,either stating historical events to warn,to satirize,or using the past to express personal emotions,the poem for the past evolves from landscape poetry,attaching importance to the meditating on the passage of the time.Both differed mainly from the content and theme but the latter gave an influence on the former.With the mixture and infiltration of each other,it is not necessary to emphasize the above differences.
