“衬字”指曲子在曲律规定以外,为了行文或歌唱需要而增加的字。古往今来,多少词家歌手和戏曲家广泛地运用“衬字”,谱写了一首首壮美的歌词名曲。衬字成了祖国艺术宝库中放射异彩的奇珍。例如:“这差使不寻俗,一壁厢纳草除根,一边又要差夫,索应付”。(睢景臣《高祖还乡·般涉调·哨遍》)“一片那个冬麦,一片那个高梁”(《在希望的田野上》)这些带点的字都是衬字。 “Lining” refers to the addition of a song to a song or song in addition to the rules of the song. Throughout the ages, many lyricists and opera writers have widely used the word “lining” to compose a magnificent lyrics song. The lining has become a rare and exotic treasure in the treasure house of the motherland. For example: “This difference makes it unorthodox. It requires a poor husband to deal with it.” (Sui Jingchen’s “God’s Return to the Hometown, General Involvement, and Guardianism”) “One piece of that winter wheat, one piece of that sorghum” (“In the Field of Hope”) These dotted words are lined with characters.
