一百八十调及其基因图谱(上)

The 180 Modes and Their Meme Altas

在中国传统“均、宫、调”的核心三层次中,“调”以下实际存在着一个更低的第四层次,即调式基因(modes-meme),-根据当今世界所广泛使用的“文化基因”(meme)的理论所引伸出的新概念。文中首次以“一律七声十五调”为一百八十调立论,并利用阿伦.福特的“音高集合”理论,对“一百八十调”的基因体分别作了剖析,在此基础上制定出“基因图谱”。并以此进一步证实,这种不同于大小调体系的“一百八十调”,不仅各具特色、互不重复,而且是世界其它音体系所绝无仅有的宝贵遗产。

That the yun, gong and modes are the three levels in the Chinese tradition, and the writer believed that there is the fourth level： the modes-meme, which lowers than the modes actually and come from new conception of meme that popular used in the world nowadays, the article took the one temperament with seven notes and fifteen as his view of 180 modes, and using the theory of pitch class set by Allen Forte, to dissect the meme of 180 modes one by one, than based on the result made a meme atlas. The writer furthermore improved that the 180 modes were different from the major-minor system.
