唐人古体

古体诗,亦名古诗、古风或往体诗,指的是产生于唐以前并和唐代新出现的近体诗(又今体诗)相对的一种诗体。它的特点是格律限制不太严格,篇幅可长可短,押韵比较自由灵活,不必拘守对偶、声律,有四言、五言、七言、杂言等多种形式。不过唐人的古体以五言、七言为主,杂言也多以七言为主体。

五七言古诗自汉魏以来已经有了悠久的传统,至唐代又发生了新变。唐代社会生活领域的扩展和人的思想感情的复杂化,要求诗歌作品在表现范围上有较大的开拓,加上篇幅短小、格律严整的近体诗走向定型化,更促使这种少受时空限制的古诗朝着发挥自己特长的道路迈进。一般说来,较之魏晋六朝诗歌大多局限于比较单纯的抒情写景,唐人的古诗则趋向笔力驰骋、气象峥嵘、边幅开阔、语言明畅,不仅抒写波澜起伏的情感心理活动,还直接叙述事件,刻画人物,铺排场景,生发议论,使诗歌表情达意的功能得到空前的发挥。唐代诗人中也有接近于汉魏古诗含蓄淳厚作风的,如王、孟、韦、柳,但较为少见。不构成唐人古诗的主流。另外,在音节上,唐代古诗受今体诗的影响,或则吸取声律的和谐与对仗的工整,或则有意走上反律化的途径,皆不同于晋、宋以前诗歌韵调的纯任自然。所以明代格调论者以唐人古诗为汉魏以来古诗的变体,并不算错。只是他们从伸正黜变、荣古虐今的传统观念出发,贬抑唐人古诗的成就,甚至宣言唐无五言古诗(李攀龙《唐选诗序》),那就太过分了。清王士禛《古诗选》在五言古诗部分选了一百多位汉魏六朝作家的作品,于唐人只取陈子昂、张九龄、李白、韦应物、柳宗元五家,还说是四唐古诗之变,可以略睹焉(《古诗选五言诗凡例》),显示出同一偏见。倒是明末许学夷在《诗源辩体》中强调指出唐人五古自有唐体,它以敷陈充畅为特色,不能拿汉魏古诗委婉含蓄的作风来硬加绳尺,可谓通达之见。

至于同属唐人古体,五言和七言又有所差别,这个问题比较微妙,须细心体察。我们看五七言的区分,虽只在每句相差两个字上,但造成的节奏感和韵调感却很不一样。五言字少,念起来有一种安详舒缓的气度,近乎平时的语调;七言音促,上口时会给人以发扬蹈厉的感觉,类似于朗诵或歌唱表演的声腔。试读杜陵有布衣,老大意转拙,许身一何愚。窃比稷与契(杜甫《自京赴奉先县咏怀五百字》),或者像暮投石壕村,有吏夜捉人。老翁逾墙走,老妇出门看(杜甫《石壕吏》)这样的句子,无论叙事还是抒情,口气何等自然平实,不带任何拖腔。但如少陵野老吞声哭,春日潜行曲江曲,江头宫殿锁干门,细柳新蒲为谁绿(杜甫《哀江头》),以至于中兴诸将收山东,捷书夜报清昼同,河广传闻一苇过,胡危命在破竹中(杜甫《洗兵马》)则不管是悲慨还是喜颂,是仄脚还是平收,念起来都有一种异乎寻常说话的调门。抑扬抗坠,铿锵成韵。我国古代传统上有读诗和歌诗的区分,西洋歌剧音乐亦有宣叙调与咏叹调的歧异,五言和七言在调式上的分别大抵如此。这就是为什么五七言古诗尽管都起源于民歌,而五言诗在东汉中叶以后即日渐脱离音乐,取得独立的发展,七言诗却长时期停留在乐府歌行体的范围内,直到唐代还常以七言短章合乐歌唱的缘故。

关于古体诗,下列表述符合原文意思的一项是(

A.古体诗产生于唐代以前,在唐出现篇幅短小、格律严整、生命力更强的近体诗后,

逐渐走向衰微。

B.古体诗的格律限制并不严格,因而形成了篇幅可长可短,押韵自由灵活,不必拘守

对偶与声律的特点。

C.古体诗在形式上有四言、五言、七言、杂言等多种;唐人古体以五言、七言为主,

更似绝句律诗。

D.五七言古体至唐而新变,是多种因素作用的结果;唐人古体虽为古体,其实已

与以往古风不同。
