作为一个后人建构起来的诗歌流派,“江湖诗派”概念最早由清人明确提出,其具体内涵经历了四库馆臣的卑下“风格论”至民国学者的《江湖集》“书籍论”的转向。当代学界围绕“江湖诗派”展开了针锋相对的讨论,但对于一个相对稳固的学术术语,我们应该尊重它的传统意义,同时又要看到它带来的学术盲区。我们主张将“江湖诗派”的内涵缩小化,凸显其社会身份上的游士诗人特色和诗歌风格上的“晚唐”趣向。就南宋中后期诗坛的整体图景来看,只有在充分认识当时“士大夫”诗人群体诗学特质的前提下,“江湖诗人”的独特指称和重要意义才能得到彰显。 As a poetic genre constructed by descendants, the concept of “poetic school of rivers and lakes” was first put forward clearly by the Qing dynasty. Its concrete connotation has experienced the humbleness of “ ”Book Theory “ turn. Contemporary academic circles have conducted tit-for-tat discussions on the ”rivers and lakes schools of poetry.“ However, for a relatively stable academic term, we should respect its traditional significance while at the same time see the academic blind spots it brings. We advocate the reduction of the connotation of ”rivers and lakes poetic school“, highlighting the ”late Tang“ interest in the characteristics of poets and poetry in their social identities. As far as the overall poetic landscape in the middle and late period of the Southern Song Dynasty is concerned, the unique allegations and significance of ”poet" can only be demonstrated under the premise of fully understanding the poetic qualities of the poets at the time.
