【摘要】 对于中国歌谣学而言,长期被学界忽视的李素英在燕京大学的硕士毕业论文《中国近世歌谣研究》是系统总结歌谣运动的第一篇文章。在周作人、胡适、顾颉刚等人的影响下,她将近世的时长拉伸到明季,对歌谣的形式和内容两方面的文学性进行了言必有据的诠释,还对北平歌谣、吴歌、客音和藏地歌谣进行了人文区位学研究,创新性地提出歌谣是"介于旧诗词与新体诗之间的一种执中的诗体"。同时,基于对歌谣、文学与社会的理解,她无意识地指出了歌谣之入世、激进、革命的另一面相,以及"歌谣运动"向"歌谣革命"嬗变的可能,即新文艺的主潮应该是以民众为本位、对象和主体的旧瓶新酒的大众化,直至民众自己创作。以此观之,《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》的横空出世,实乃大势所趋,有着深刻的历史必然性。更多还原

【Abstract】 Li Suying,also known as Li Su,is a writer and scholar who rose to fame at a young age but nonetheless led a simple and low-profile life. Of Chinese folklore,her much ignored Master’s thesis at Yenching University,"A Study of Chinese Folk Songs in Modern Times,"is the first systematic account of the Folk Song Movement in China. Under the influences of Zhou Zuoren,Hu Shih,Gu Jiegang,etc.,she extended her study from modern times back to the Ming Dynasty and gave a well-founded explanation of the literary nature of the folk songs in both form and content. She also used the theory of human ecology to study Peking folk songs,Wu songs,Hakka tone and Tibetan songs. With true ingenuity,she proposed that the folk song is"an intermediary poetic form between the old-style poetry and the new-style free verses."Meanwhile,based on her understanding of the folk song,literature and society,she unwittingly pointed out the other side of the folk song,i.e.,its secular,radical and revolutionary side. Along this line,she explored the possible evolution from"folk song movement" to"folk song revolution,"maintaining that the main trend of the new art and literature should center around the populace,targeting them and establishing their subjectivity until the populace can create by themselves. Judged from this,a case can be made that the grandeur emergence of Mao’s"Speech at the Forum on Literature and Art in Yan’an"is an inevitable result of some profound historical necessity.更多还原
