管窥中国古代音乐美学中的“情”

Discourse toward the "Qing" of Chinese ancient music esthetics

乐以情为“本”,音乐作品之生命,首在于“情”,乐离“情”,则失其感人之力。乐以“形情”,决定其须“唱情”,惟“唱情”,才能体现乐以“形情”。“唱情”,就须得曲情,若缺少此感情体验,就须“移情”。音乐最擅长于表达感情,故亦最能“陶情”。文章想通过对“形情”、“唱情”、“移情”、“陶情”的阐释,论述中国古代“情”的音乐美学思想之高深,使其在新的理论层面上得以升华。

The essence of music is rooted in ＂Qing＂ and the ＂Qing＂ plays an important role in conveying music. Expressing music emotion is by singing, empathizing and by edifying as well. Singing needs to comprehend production, and if it fails primely to grasp the connotation that it is necessary to empathize. Music as a means is best at edifying emotion and depends on singing, empathizing, and arrives in the step of edifying emotion. So an analysis of the ＂Qing＂ of Chinese ancient music esthetics learns from its sophisticated ideas and knows its profound theories.
