说到中国的古典诗歌,人们想起的第一个概念就是——唐诗。再仔细想一下,也许还会想起在上次“故典今读”中说到的《诗经》,对于其他时代的诗歌,似乎就不太有印象了。那是不是在从《诗经》时代到唐朝这么长的时间内,中国就没有诗歌或者说没有好的诗歌了呢?当然不是,在这么长的一段时间内,也出现过不少大家熟悉的好诗,比如《孔雀东南飞》,比如《木兰辞》,比如我们今天接下去要讲的《古诗十九首》。虽然有这么多好诗,但这段时间对中国诗歌最具意义的还在于这些诗歌本身。大家如果读过一些诗歌,就会知道《诗经》里的诗歌都是四言诗,而我们看到的中国诗歌的主流——唐诗却是五言或七言的《诗经》 Speaking of China's classical poetry, people think of the first concept is - Tang poetry. Think again, perhaps recalling the Book of Songs, which was mentioned in the last Codex, which seems less impressed with the poetry of other times. Is not it that there is no poetry or no good poetry in China from the time of the Book of Songs to the Tang Dynasty? Of course not, and for quite some time now many familiar Good poems, such as “Peacock southeast flying”, such as “Mulan Ci”, such as we talk about today, “Nineteen Ancient Poems.” Although there are so many good poem, but most of the time of Chinese poetry is still the poetry itself. If you have read some poems, you will know that all the poems in the Book of Poetry are four-character poetry, and that we can see the mainstream of Chinese poetry - the Tang poetry is a five-character or seven-character “Book of Songs”
