本文提出一種新的散曲分類法，横截面式地討論分析了散曲一方面是如何處理不同的語域，另一方面又是如何將現有的主題和媒介再語境化。具體地説，文章聚焦三類散曲：重點呈現日常生活片段的歌曲，爲朝廷節日慶典助興的歌曲，以及回顧中國歷史上包括文學史、宗教史上的模範人物的歌曲。本文表明：日常歌曲和朝廷主導的歌曲尊奉即時性美學，而某些雅俗有致的歌曲則更爲清晰地呈現出具有不同導向的超媒介特徵。

This article proposes a new typology of the sanqu corpus. The discussion analyzes a cross section of sanqu songs in terms of how they engaged with language registers, on the one hand, and how they recontextualized existing motifs and media, on the other. Specifically, the article focuses on three subsets of songs: songs that foreground everyday vignettes, songs that celebrate festive occasions at court, and songs that revisit the exemplars of Chinese literature, history, and religion. The article suggests that everyday songs and court-oriented songs prized the aesthetic of immediacy, while certain mixed-register songs more explicitly exhibited differently oriented signs of hypermediacy.
