尊体、雅俗、本色与正变之论,是传统词学的四大批评观念。其中,尊体之论主要体现在四个方面,即从文学发展与自然存在角度、从创作之难角度、从诗词同源或同旨角度与从有补于诗歌表现角度予以论说;雅俗之论主要包括去俗崇雅、雅俗之辨与以俗为雅等内容,其中,去俗崇雅成为传统词学一以贯之的批评准则;本色之论主要体现在两个方面,即从对词作体性辨析角度与从词作风格角度加以展开;正变之分主要体现在四个方面,即从风格呈现角度、从流派分属角度、从词人词作角度与从词史发展角度予以展开。上述几种观念,从主体上影响和决定着传统词学的建构及其批评展开,显示出重要的价值与意义。
The theory of adherence to style, the elegance and vulgarness, inherent qualities, positive change, is the major criticism concept of Chinese traditional Ci-poetry. Among them, the theory of adherence to style is mainly reflected in four aspects, namely from the literary development and natural perspective, from the difficulty of creation, from the same source of poetry and Ci-poetry, and from the complement of the performance. The theory of elegance and vulgarness mainly includes the contents of getting rid of vulgarness and promoting elegance, distin- guishing elegance from vulgarness, regarding vulgarness as elegance. Among them, the concept of getting rid of vulgarness and respecting elegance has become a traditional Ci-poetry criticism principle running through it all. The theory of inherent qualities is mainly reflected in two aspects, namely, from the angle of analysing Ci-poetry's quality and style. The theory of positive change is mainly reflected in four aspects, namely to discuss from the angle of style, from the school, from the Ci-poetry writers and Ci-poetry and from the history of Ci-poetry development. These concepts affect and decide the construction and critical path of the Chinese traditional Ci-poetry, having a very important value and significance.
