Database of Tang and Song lyrics

唐宋二代可以說是中國文學成就最高的二個朝代，除了唐詩、宋詩、唐宋詞、唐宋文、傳奇小說之外，音樂、繪畫、書法藝術也都取得空前的成就，最特殊的是這幾種藝術彼此交流，相互取材，多元藝術交相融合，一起滋長。也有很多文人同時具備多種藝術創造能力，文人如蘇軾，詩詞文書畫皆精，君王如宋徽宗，既是書法家也是畫家，上下交織，造就中國藝術最光輝燦爛的朝代。
構成唐宋詞的形式元素是文字及音樂，詞人們以情境相通，物我交融的寫作技巧，將深刻細膩的情感內涵以文字及音樂傳遞到閱聽者心中。唐宋詞多媒體網站的設計，便是以能夠引發情境感知（Context - Awareness）的文字、影音、圖像、動畫等多媒體，作為引導閱聽者欣賞唐宋詞文本內涵的媒介為主要的設計方向，著重在表現唐宋詞文體特色，讓使用者登入網站，即可感受到唐宋詞文字、音樂、心境、情境、意境之美。
本文探討的重點是如何引用「情境感知」的概念，利用資訊科技可以兼容多種訊息媒介的特性，探討如何在資訊網路上建置一個能引發閱聽者感受唐宋詞情境的網站，以領略唐宋詞之美，為文學傳播建立新的載體與形式。

The Tang and Song Dynasties witnessed the greatest literary achievements in Chinese history. In addition to the traditional genres of poems, ci (or lyrical poetry), articles, and legendary novels, the fine arts including music, painting, and calligraphy also reached their creative heights. These periods were characterized by mutual interchange of materials and their blending. Many men of letters boasted talents in the various arts. Men of letters such as Su Shi were skilled at producing articles and paintings; Emperor Huizong was both a calligrapher and painter.
The elements of ci (or lyrical poetry) in Tang and Song Dynasties are words and music. Composers of lyrical poetry conveyed profound and delicate sensitivities to their audiences through words and music. The design goal of this multimedia website is to focus on words, videos, pictures and animations that stimulate Context-Awareness cognition to guide readers and listeners in appreciating lyrical poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties. The emphasis is on presenting characteristic writing styles so that once logged onto the site, users can discover the beauty of words, music, psyche, context and prospects.
Therefore, the focus of this paper aims at exploring the establishment of a website that stimulates users to understand lyrical poetry in the Tang and Song Dynasties through multimedia and by means of Context-Awareness cognition, to aid browsers, and to promote literature in a brand-new form and medium.
