講座摘要 在重新審視二十世紀中國文學的研究背景下,清末民初的舊體文學創作近年來受到學者的關注。已有研究集中於宋詩派和清遺民的創作活動,其他如南社詩人研究,也多關注其詩歌與政治、革命的關係。本演講以南社詩人黃節(1873-1935)客居北京期間所作詩歌為例,討論黃節如何將古典詩歌作為一種社會交往和抒情的手段,呈現現代中國的日常生活經驗。黃詩通過書寫北京風物、友朋酬贈及其客居體驗,反映出時代變革下的文人心境和自我認同。同時,也可藉此探討傳統詩歌樣式和書寫在現代中國的意義。

 

Abstract Influenced by the trend of reevaluating Chinese literature in twentieth century, more attentions has been paid to traditional-style writings in late Qing and early Republican eras. Current research primarily focus on writings by Song Poetry School and Qing loyalists, while studies on Nanshe group rely more on political and revolutionary perspectives. This talk examines Huang Jie (1873-1935)’s classical-style writings during his settlement in Republican Beijing, by investigating how classical-style poetry was used as a method of social practice and lyricism in modern era. Huang’s poetry well represented the daily life and sojourning experience in Republican Beijing, hence reflected the literati mentality and self-identity in the transformation period. Moreover, the significance of traditional literary form and classical-style writings in modern China is also discussed.
