Yuefu Poetry
指漢代的樂(lè)府詩(shī)。“樂(lè)府”本是秦以后由朝廷設(shè)立的用來(lái)訓(xùn)練樂(lè)工、采集民歌并配器作曲的專(zhuān)門(mén)官署，后轉(zhuǎn)指由樂(lè)府機(jī)關(guān)所采集、配樂(lè)并由樂(lè)工演唱的民歌。樂(lè)府詩(shī)是繼《詩(shī)經(jīng)》之后古代民歌的一次創(chuàng)造，是與“詩(shī)經(jīng)”“楚辭”并列的詩(shī)歌形態(tài)。至今保存的漢樂(lè)府民歌有五六十首，大都真實(shí)反映了當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)生活的各個(gè)方面，表現(xiàn)出純真質(zhì)樸的思想感情，并由此形成反映普通民眾聲音與情感的文學(xué)創(chuàng)作傳統(tǒng)。其中最有特色與成就的是描寫(xiě)女性生活的作品。漢代以后將可以入樂(lè)的詩(shī)歌及仿樂(lè)府古題而寫(xiě)的詩(shī)歌統(tǒng)稱(chēng)為樂(lè)府。
Yuefu (樂(lè)府) poems were written in the Han Dynasty. Originally, yuefu was a government office set up by the imperial court to train musicians, collect folk songs and ballads, compose music, and match musical instruments to it. It later came to refer to folk songs and ballads collected, matched with music, and played by court musicians. Poems of this style represented a new creation of ancient folk songs and ballads in the years after "The Book of Songs" was compiled, and equaled "The Book of Songs" and "Odes of Chu" in importance. About 50 to 60 yuefu poems have been handed down to this day. They truthfully depicted various aspects of society at the time and revealed genuine emotions, thus creating a literary tradition reflecting ordinary people's sentiments. In particular, yuefu poems were noted for their vivid depiction of women's life. All poems that could be chanted or were written with yuefu themes were collectively called yuefu poems in later times.
