張祜（西元七九二∼西元八五三）是中晚唐之際著名詩人，最初得名， 即是由他 的樂府詩。有《張處士詩集》傳世。張祜於《新唐書》、《舊唐書》中，均無傳。僅《新唐 書、藝文志》中，「張祜詩一卷」下注：「字承吉，大中中率。」稍詳者，則見於《唐才子 傳》及《唐詩紀事》中，然亦未言及其生率年。近世學者尹占華，有鑑於此，作〈張祜系年 考〉一文，詳列其生平事蹟，可資參考。 《張處士詩集》共五卷，收錄張祜的詩共計三百五十九道。《樂府詩集》中僅收錄張祜樂府 詩五十五首，然筆者讀《張處士詩集》，發現約略有九十五首樂府詩，佔其詩作總數的四分 之一強。而這部分樂府詩的內容題材廣泛，且為其詩作中的精華所在。張祜的樂府詩，有舊 題樂府、新題樂府、民歌樂府等。 本文就其廣泛之內容題材，分別摘錄敘述、分析其特色。其舊題樂府，可分抒情樂府、邊塞 樂府；其新題樂府，有屬歌詠遺事之作、亦有感時傷懷之作；其民歌樂府，則均屬舊題樂府 ，且皆源自於南北朝民歌。張祜樂府，為其詩作中之精華，帶有由中唐過渡到晚唐之際的時 代色彩。尤其值得稱道的是其邊塞樂府，既有盛唐開闊之境界、宏偉氣魄之遺風，又有晚唐 冷悽慘風貌。故謂張祜乃「中晚唐之際的著名詩人」，實當之無愧。

　　　　　Chang-hu (792AD∼853AD) was one of the most famous poets in the mid and late Tang Dyuasty. He was distinguished for his works on songs and poems, having "A Collection of Chang's Pomes" passes down to posterity. His biography did not appear neither in "The New History of Tang" nor in "The old History of Tang". THe was only briefly metioned in "The Bibliographical Sketch of the New History of Tang". Moreover, he was mentioned a little more in "Biographies of Distinguished Scholars in Tang Dynasty" and "Narratives of Poems in the Tang Dynasty", without any record of his birth and death dates. As a consequence, a modern researcher Yin Chan-Hua wrote a paper entitled "Annual Activity Records of Chang-hu" to specify Chang's life events in detail. There are five volumes in "A Collection of Chang's Poems", including 359 poems with approximately one fourth being song and poems. Among Chang-hu's songs and poems only 55 were found in "A comprehensive Collection of Songs and Poems". These are however the best of his poems. In addition to folk songs, Chang-hu's songs and poems include both old-titled and new-titled songs and poems. This paper was mainly concerned about describing separately all type of subjects that apprared in Chang-hu's songs and poems. Typical poems were Chosen and their key features were analyzed. Chang-hu's songs and poems were the best of his works. In his works we may catch the feeling of the transition of times, from mid to late-Tang Dynasty. Among all of his poems, songs and poems for the frontier lands appeared to be most special for its touching expression. It is often said that Chang-hu was a famous poets in the mid and late Tang Dyuasty, which is certainly what he deserved to be.
