《中国诗歌通史》工程的启动,使我们得以在打通古今的宏观视野下,审视中国诗歌的通变,进而探讨中国诗歌的未来。二十世纪初,中国由传统社会进入现代社会,实现了历史上最大的一次社会变更,中国文学随之开启了前所未有的转型历程。回顾这段历史,应该讲,与散文、小说等文体相比,此次诗歌的转型并不很成功。作为世所公认的诗的国度,这个事实值得反思。 The launch of the “General History of Chinese Poetry” enabled us to examine the transformation of Chinese poetry and explore the future of Chinese poetry under the macro-vision of getting through ancient and modern history. In the early twentieth century, China entered the modern society from the traditional society and realized the greatest social change in history. As a result, Chinese literature opened an unprecedented course of transformation. Recalling this period of history, it should be said that the transformation of poetry is not very successful compared with prose, novels and other styles. As a universally acknowledged poetic country, this fact deserves reflection.
