中国古代的诗歌在早期阶段上是如何发生,因何发展,其蕴含的文化内涵及运行的外部环境又是怎样,这些问题长期以来始终令学术界感到头痛。虽然也出现过一些相关的研究成果,但大多零零散散,有些甚至视角陈旧,在系统性和深入性方面都显得不够。近来,张树国教授的著作《宗教伦理与中国上古祭歌形态研究》对上述问题进行了较为系统的探索,诸多地方能发前人之未发,可以说是一部研究上古诗歌的力作。 How ancient Chinese poetry took place in the early stage and how the development of the ancient Chinese poetry affected the cultural connotation and the external environment for its operation had always caused headaches in academia. Although there have been some related research results, most of them are fragmented, and some are even outdated in their perspectives. They are not systematic or in-depth enough. Recently, Professor Zhang Shuguo’s book Religious Ethics and the Study of the Forms of Ancient Chinese Sacrifices in Ancient China conducted a systematic exploration of the above issues. In many places, it can be described as a masterpiece of studying ancient poetry.
