“五花爨弄”及其意义新探

On "Wu-hua-cuan-long" and Its Significance

“五花爨弄”是中国古代戏曲史上的一个专有名词。关于“五花爨弄”,近世学者研究已多而分歧亦多,至今仍然悬而未决。本文考订认为:“五花爨弄”即南诏、大理之高级迎宾馆———五花楼内所表演的一种爨系乐舞,渊源于爨氏统治时期的“乐人幻戏”。“五花爨弄”于北宋末传入内地后,不啻巨大地影响了中国戏曲的发展,且直接丰富了中国汉语言的表达。由此揭示,边疆少数民族与内地的文化影响是相互的,虽不排除内地对边疆少数民族的影响更大。

＂Wu-hua-cuan-long＂ is a term relative to the history of opera and quyi in China. It still is a problem to need studied in spite of doing it very more up to now. The paper thinks of ＂wu-hua-cuan-long＂ as a kind of music and dance performed in the Wu-hua Hotel during the period of Nanzhao and Dali, out of ＂jin-chi-bai-yi＂. After it was introduced into central China, ＂wu- hua-cuan-long＂ made great influence to the progress of Chinese opera and quyi and enlarged Chinese words and expression as well. This case tells us there is an interaction between central and marginal China even though more the central than the marginal.
