詞為音樂文學，屬於中國文學史上風格特殊的文體，曲律曼妙、情思宛轉、意境深幽，令人咀嚼未盡。其形成與發展的歷程，亦和唐宋特殊的社會背景與時代氛圍有關。而曲承續詞，又進一步發展，分有散曲、劇曲，劇曲更是抒情傳統與敘事傳統的匯流，成為具有獨特審美價值的「劇詩」。礙於上課時間有限，本課程以唐宋詞為大部分內容，曲的部分僅於下學期期中考之後再講授散曲與劇曲。本課程將融入文學史的概念，啟發學生思考詞之起源與時代、社會背景之間的聯繫；訓練學生思考詞人的生命歷程與其詞作之間的關係；透過重要作品的講授，引導學生領略詞曲之為音樂文學與綜合藝術，如何透過宛轉悠揚的曲律，表達委曲幽渺的意境。

The lyrics are music literature, which belong to the literary body with a special style in the history of Chinese literature. The rhythm is graceful, the emotions are translucent, and the artistic conception is profound, which makes people chew. The process of its formation and development is also related to the special social background of the Tang and Song dynasties and the contemporary atmosphere. The lyrics of the song have further developed, divided into scattered songs and dramas. The songs are the exchange of lyrical traditions and events, becoming a "drama" with unique aesthetic value. Due to the limited time of the first class, this course is based on Tang and Song lyrics as most of the content, and only part of the song will be taught after the next midterm exam. This course will incorporate the concept of literary history, and create the connection between students' thinking about the origin of lyrics and the times and social backgrounds; train students' thinking about the relationship between the life course of lyrics and their lyrics; through the lectures of important works, students' abbreviations of lyrics are guided by music literature and comprehensive art, how to express the graceful artistic conception through the melodious and quiet rhythms.
