弘一大师“清凉歌”考论

On Qingliang Gequ by Great Master Hongyi

“清凉歌”是弘一大师出家后编撰的歌曲作品,研究者向来将其与《三宝歌》一起并称为弘一大师佛教歌曲的代表。虽然“清凉歌”一再被收入有关歌曲集,也一再被传唱,但对它的研究则不多,有之亦不系统、不全面,甚至有认识上的偏颇。对“清凉歌”作一番疏理考论十分必要,从中既可探知弘一大师编撰此歌情形,亦可体会弘一大师出家后艺术创作的心理动机。

Qingliang Gequ （The Qingliang Selections） was compiled by Great Master Hongyi when he became a monk. Qingliang Gequ, together with San Bao Ge （The Song of Three Treasures ）, is thought as one of the representative pieces of the Hongyi＇s Buddhist music. Though it has been included in a songbook and sung by some people, there is not much research on it and there even exist some misunderstandings. Therefore, it is necessary to make a further study of the selections so that we may find out how Hongyi compiled it and what mentally motivated him to do so.
