俗赋嬗变刍论（上）——从“但见”、“怎见得”说起

考察《封神演义》等长篇章回小说及“三言二拍”等话本和拟话本小说,我们发现了“但见”、“怎见得”等领起语与俗赋之间深厚的血缘关系。在此类领起语带动之下的文字板块,应归属俗赋。先秦至唐,俗赋仍以独立的形式存活于民间。然而,似乎自唐开始,俗赋便逐渐改变了自己的形态,从而,变成始自宋元,而成熟于明代,繁盛于长篇章回小说、话本和拟话本小说之中的俗赋。讲唱文学中俗赋的发现将大大有益于对赋本体及秦杂赋的破解。

On the Evolution of Folk Fu: "Alack" and "You Know What" (I)

When probing into novels written in chapters such as Romance of the Nomination of Gods and huaben stories with frequent inclusion of rhymed passages, we find deep blood tie between the folk fu and such leads as "Alack" and "You know what". Stories started with these leads should be assorted into the category of folk fu which existed independently among the people from the Early Qin Dynasty to Tang Dynasty. However, it seems that folk fu gradually changed its form since Tang Dynasty. After Song and Yuan Dynasties, it became mature in Ming Dynasty ranging from novels written in chapters to rhymed passages. The discovery of folk fu helps greatly to interpret the styles of fu and zafu in Qin Dynasty.
