本文首先指出,樂府詩之律化,是唐代樂府詩最大的特色,而樂府之律化, 是整個近體詩成熟過程中的一環,因而不是突然出現,而是從齊梁永明時期以來, 逐漸完成。今本《樂府詩集》中許多南朝樂府詩事實上已合乎正體律絕的平仄格 式,只是仍有失粘失對,這種情形到初唐仍然存在,只有在盛唐詩賦取士後,格 律標準化,詩律才趨嚴。 其次,本文統計了《樂府詩集》中唐人擬古之作,發現唐人古題樂府多變原 題之雜言為整齊的五七言近體。至於唐樂府律化原因,學者有認為是為了便於入 樂歌唱,本文則認為聲律和樂律並無必然關係。唐樂府多近體,只能說自南朝以 來詩體律化的結果,加上近體篇幅短小,歌妓便於記誦,也有利一般人傳唱。 最後,許多學者認為樂府到唐朝已不可歌,可歌者為「聲詩」或「歌詩」,其 實這些聲詩或歌詩,很多即是樂府詩,帶有樂府詩題,如〈何滿子〉、〈楊柳枝〉、 〈伊州歌〉、〈柘枝詞〉等是,而這些可歌的唐樂府,其歌辭也大都是近體詩,是 有唐一代樂府歌辭,其主流為近體律絕。
