中国音乐研究的重要史料——清代笔记

Literati Notes of the Qing Dynasty-Important Sources for Chinese Music History Studies

中国音乐的研究,就文本史料来源而言,大概有三个方面:正史史料、正式的文人论著和笔记史料中的音乐史料。据现代学者发现和见到的清代笔记史料文献大概有三百余种,但是,由于清代文字政策的关系,清代笔记史料呈“两头多,中间少”的局面。清代笔记史料文献中的音乐史料,是丰富的,是中国传统音乐和中国古代音乐史研究弥足珍贵的史料。

As a consequence of the constraining policy for literati writings enforced by the Qing court, the historical sources from their notes during that period feature the situation of “being scarce in the mid-term while plenty in both ends'. The abundant data on music from the literature are the treasures for the study of Chinese traditional music and its ancient music history.
