周邦彦词的时间表现

Abstract

This paper examines temporal expressions in Zhou bangyan ci (词). The time-element in ci is of major importance, that in a large measure it determines the basic background and the structure of the ci, and at times, of curse, it itself could be a main subject of the text. The way the author arranges the time-element also has a significant impact on the way of describing certain emotion, which is widely considered as the typical feature of the ci genre. The purpose of this paper is to show the feature of time expression in Zhou bangyan ci, specially paying close attention to the stories told in text. The paper analyzes the main temporal characters used in Zhou bangyan ci, and how the whole technique of time expression is involved with the narrative feature. Zhou bangyan takes the methods of crossing of the dimensions of time, jumping time line, and through the way of overlapping and leaping between the reality and imaginary, ultimately forms the text in which the past-present-future time coexist together.
