后村咏史诗略论

后村或借歌咏历史人物以咏史;或者借历史古迹,通过咏怀古迹以见证历史;或者通过读史来对历史的兴亡加以总结;或者通过杂咏的方式来抒发对历史兴亡的感慨。作为一名历史学家,后村的咏诗史风格明快犀利,见解深刻,同时,他的咏史诗也较少用典。后村的咏诗史在他的全部创作中所占比例并不大,也没有明显的阶段性。需要指出的是,在后村时代,"四灵"和江湖诗风流行诗坛,由于人们偏安意识的加强,咏史这种题材已为大多数人所抛弃。后村能够冲破世俗的局限,写出一定数量的咏史诗,这在当时萎靡不振的诗坛是很有意义的。

On Houcun's poems on history

Houcun wrote poems on history by chanting historical figures to sing history,or by the historic sites to testify history,or by reading historical books to draw a lesson from the rise and fall in history,or by chanting it to express his deep feeling.As a historian,he wrote his poems of history with a very sprightly and sharp style and expressed a very profound thought,but he used allusions in his poems on history and didn't write a large number of poems on history in his life had no clear sign of stage.we should understand that,in his time,'Siling(four famous poets)and Jianghu's (a famous school of poets)style,was in fashion,and most of the poets wrote few poems on history because the emperor and many ministers were content to exercise sovereignty over only half part of China.It's very meaningful to the weak circles of poets in the late South Song Dynasty,for he broke through the common views and wrote some number of poems on history.
