指的是中國古代閱讀、欣賞詩歌的方法。諷,是抑揚頓挫地誦讀;詠,指的是吟唱、歌唱?!爸S詠”合起來就是指,詩歌要通過反復誦讀、吟唱,逐漸感受其節(jié)奏、聲韻,揣摩其內(nèi)涵、情感,進而把握作者的作詩用意,甚至產(chǎn)生自己的見解。諷詠的方法,與中國古代詩歌具有較強的音樂性密切相關(guān),不僅可以抑揚頓挫地誦讀,而且可以用一定的旋律吟唱出來。
This term refers to the proper way of appreciating classic Chinese poetry in ancient times. Specifically, when reading a poem aloud, it was supposed to intone a poem with cadence; namely, by following a pattern of rising and falling tones with pauses in between. Through repeated chanting and recitals, they captured the rhythm, rhyme, hidden meaning and sentiment of the poem and finally understood the core message conveyed by the author. On that basis, they might even be able to form an interpretation of their own. Chanting played a vital role in poetic appreciation largely due to the musicality of classic Chinese poetry. Readers not only read cadence but sang melodiously as well.

先要熟讀《楚辭》,每天早晚誦讀、吟唱,以此作為基礎(chǔ)……將李白、杜甫的詩集放在枕席邊隨時閱讀,就像今人研讀經(jīng)書一樣,而后再廣泛閱讀盛唐時期的名家作品,在心里反復揣摩體會,時間長了自然就會領(lǐng)悟。
First of all, one should make it a basic practice to learn the Odes of Chu by chanting and singing the odes every morning... and place the collected poems of Li Bai and Du Fu beside one's pillow for the convenience of reading at any time, just as scholars of today study non-poetic classics. After that, he should widely read renowned works of the flourishing period of the Tang Dynasty. When he has ruminated on those poems, he will naturally become enlightened.
