等韵图在昆曲度曲理论中的运用探析

Classical Phonological Diagram and Musical Composition of Kunqu

首次把等韵图引入昆曲度曲理论的是明代著名度曲家沈宠绥。对于他把《四声经纬图》和《转音经纬图》引入度曲理论,王守泰先生认为没有任何实用价值。笔者认为,沈氏的主要目的是识音和正音,且他的这一主张对近现代的昆曲度曲理论仍有着深远的影响。

Shen Chongsui, the famous musical composition theoretician of the Ming dynasty, is the first to have introduced Classical Phonological Diagram into the studies on musical composition of the Kunqu opera. However, Mr. Wang Shoutai considers his introduction of Si Sheng Jing Wei Tu and Zhuan Yin Jing Wei Ttu into the studies to have no practical value. This paper argues that the main aim of Shen Chongsui is to identify and rectify the tongue, and that as such it has far-reaching effect on the modern composition theory of the Kunqu opera.
