Some findings on tone patterns in Tang regulated verse
唐代律诗平仄研究
Stephen Ripley 任思文

Abstract 摘要
Traditional Chinese writers have discussed rules for tone patterns in regulated verse and present day writers, both Chinese and Western, speculate as to the reasons for the particular arrangements of tones. However, there are no studies that tabulate data in a systematic method in order to determine the practice of the poets in relation to the tone patterns. This study analyzes a corpus of Tang poems and discusses the findings in relation to the views of the traditional Chinese critics. The statistics largely corroborate the traditional rules but also show that certain qualifications are necessary.

本文所选诗文分别为初唐盛唐诗人：宋之问，张说，张九龄，孟浩然，王维之作品．总计464首每行平仄除列表说明，并加以计算平仄出现的次数．按此方式，读者得以自464首诗中观察及了解诗之平仄格式．另外研究律诗的格律计算结果，主要是根据清代二位学者王士祯，翁方纲及当代学者王力之理论．计算结果与律诗的格律相较，大体一致．然相异之处亦有几，如柪救之格式．虽王士祯等谓颇为常见，但在464首诗中却并不多见．或许在晚唐及宋出现较为频繁．此点仍复待日后深究。
