摘要:杜甫诗中题“歌”之作,共30题45首。其中《乾元中寓居同谷县作歌七首》体式上的主要特点有:篇章每首八句,句式以七言为主。协韵为前六句后二句转韵格式。或前六句叶仄,后二句转平;或前六句协平,后二句转仄。或前六句后二句仄声转韵,或前六句后二句平声转韵。在结构上,每首“首二领意,中四叙事,末二感慨悲歌”,以“呜呼×歌兮”唱叹结束。前四首均以隔字反复开篇。该诗体现出“随声随写”边唱边写的创作过程,为“七言八句声诗体”之创格,或承吴地白纻舞曲和清商乐吴声西曲的歌唱传统,可谓是江南吴歌文人化的产物。对这一现象的尝试性分析,有助于理解“乐府声诗并著”的特点。

一、引言
據《杜诗详注》统计,杜甫题“歌”之作共30题45首①。
45首诗中,32首题为“歌”,2首题为“醉歌”,7首题为“作歌”,1首题为“放歌”,1首题为“长歌”,1首题为“短歌”。杜甫“作歌”有什么特点,是一种怎样的创作行为,又是一种怎样的歌唱方式呢?②
二、“作歌”:自作歌词自歌唱
“作歌”有着悠久的传统,《尚书·益稷篇》:“帝庸作歌曰:‘敕天之命,惟时惟几。乃歌曰:‘股肱喜哉!元首起哉!百工熙哉!”〔1〕《史记·伯夷列传》:“武王已平殷乱,天下宗周,而伯夷、叔齐耻之,义不食周粟,隐于首阳山,采薇而食之。及饿且死,作歌。其辞曰:‘登彼西山兮,采其薇矣。以暴易暴兮,不知其非矣。神农、虞、夏忽焉没兮,我安适归矣?于嗟徂兮,命之衰矣!遂饿死于首阳山。……
