关于唐代教坊的三个问题

On Three Points of the Tang Dynasty Musical Houses

教坊始设于唐代,对唐代音乐发展作出了重要贡献。玄宗设立教坊的直接目的在于安置原藩邸的乐工与宦官;唐代第一任教坊使为范安及,教坊使的职能是管理乐人与音乐,他们与音乐才华没有必然的联系;青楼与教坊关系密切,盛唐时它是教坊选拔乐人之重镇,中晚唐以后教坊加强了对青楼的管理。

Musical House was set up in Tang Dynasty and made important contributito on the development of Tang music. The purpose that emperor Tang Xuan-zong set up Musical House was to settle down former musicians and eunuchs. The first administrator of Musical House was Fan An-ji, who was in charge of the musicians and had people who held the post no necessary connection with music brilliance. The Musical House had a close connection with brothel, which was the main musicians supplier. During the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Musical House reinforced its management of the brothel.
