“渺渺春生楚水波,楚人齐唱竹枝歌。”起源于巴山楚水的竹枝词,在中唐已经颇受文人青睐。张籍的“向南渐觉云山好,一路唯闻唱竹枝”,已是相当风雅之事。后来刘禹锡将它带进了文人诗歌创作的艺术殿堂,因而其诗作也形成了独特的风格,以至白居易《忆梦得诗》云:“几时红烛下,听唱竹枝词。”由于竹枝词内容清 “Miao M Chunshu Chu water waves, Chu Qi sing Zhuzhu Song.” Originated in the Bashan Chu Shui words, in the Tang Dynasty has been quite popular literary favor. Zhang Ji’s “South Yujue Yunshan good, all the way to sing bamboo stick” is already quite elegant thing. Later, Liu Yuxi brought it into the art hall of literati’s poetry creation, and thus his poems also formed a unique style. As a result, Bai Juyi’s “Memory of a Dream Poem” said: “When the red candles are heard, they sing and sing bamboo branches.”
