古今死亡對歌：挽歌之死亡主題的流變

Death Chant between the Past and Present: The Evolution of Elegy Song's Death Theme

最早的挽歌是收錄在《樂府詩集．相和歌辭》的〈薤露〉與〈蒿裡〉兩首。經過時代的變遷，文人的改造，挽歌出現了新的內容。不僅內容上有所不同，曲名也逐漸出現新的名稱。時代對於文學的發展而言，是深具意義的。時代反映人們的生活形態，展現人們的生活面貌，以此時代可體現出一時代人們的價值觀、情感觀、審美觀、生命觀等。時代的變遷影響了挽歌的創作模式，文學創作「模式」含內容與形式。由此對「傳統」的改造，是必然的，是時代前進的產物。文學創作「模式」的演變，可以從多角度或研討方法進行探討，如早期的古典文學研究視角，「抒情傳統」至現今的「地理空間意識」亦可切出其客觀的一角。而本文認為主題學亦是可以切入的一個角度，以此獲得挽歌、挽詩的詩學脈絡。時間與研討的範圍，是從中國古代至馬來西亞挽歌的書寫，利用兩者之間的觀照，以此梳理出其詩學脈絡，在獲得挽歌的詩學脈絡的同時，亦可獲悉馬來西亞詩人在撰寫古體挽詩所承繼的傳統。
