弹词渊源流变考述

关于弹词的渊源流变,历来众说纷纭。本文在考辨各种学说的过程中,认为弹词可能起源于早期的瞽人诵诗,而有迹可查的历史,最早可追溯到宋代的陶真,金、元两代继续发展,至明而有文人创作文本流传。在发展过程中,其叙事体制由原来的七言叙事体为主变为模仿戏曲表演的代言体为主,至清代,弹词成为一种新兴的俗文学。

On the Origin and Historical Development of Tanci

Opinions vary about the origin and historical development of Tanci.After a discussion of current research,I believe that the immediate origin of Tanci is Taozhen in the Song Dynasty.In the meantime, I put forward a supposition that Tanci is oriented from the Recifation of the Blindmen. During the course of historical development,the style of the recittation changed from narration to action. In the Qing Dynasty,it became a new vulgar literature.
