散曲是元代兴起的新的诗歌形式,它和元代杂剧共同构成了一代文学——元曲。在元代,既有专门创作散曲的作家,也有散曲、杂剧兼善的作家。他们为后世留下了一批优秀的散曲作品,像睢景臣的《高祖还乡》、张养浩的《潼关怀古》都是脍炙人口的散曲名篇。散曲在明代仍然是文人经常创作的文学题材,并且得到了新的发展,这从薛论道的散曲创作中便可以略见一斑。 Sanqu is a new form of poetry that arises in the Yuan Dynasty. It constitutes the first generation of literature together with the Yuan drama. In the Yuan Dynasty, there were writers who specialized in the creation of Sanqu as well as writers who learned Sanqu and mixed plays. They have left a group of excellent Sanqu works for future generations, such as Gao Jing’s return to the ancestors by Gao Jingchen and Zhang Yanghao’s “Tongguan Huai Gu”, all of which are well-known names in Sanqu. Sanqu was still the literary theme often created by the literati in the Ming Dynasty, and got new development. This can be seen from the creation of Sanqu in Xue Lun.
