乐府诗 (Yuefu Poems)

"乐府"是汉武帝时设立的一个官署。它的职责是采集民间歌谣或文人的诗来配乐，以备朝廷祭祀或宴会时演奏之用。它搜集整理的诗歌，后世就叫"乐府诗"，或简称"乐府"。它是继《诗经》、《楚辞》而起的一种新诗体。本书是曹旭老师评注的乐府诗，收集了汉乐府、南北朝乐府和文人乐府诗。("Music Bureau" was a government office established during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Its duties include collecting folk songs or poems of scholars to dub in background music in preparation for the performances at the court sacrifices or banquets. The poetry and songs it collected were called "Yuefu poems" or "Yuefu" for short by people of later generations. It was a new poetic style originating after Classic of Poetry and Verses of Chu.
