西曲倚歌考论

A Textual Research on the Yi Song of the Western Melody

倚歌产生的时代可上溯至刘宋时代或者更早;音乐上采用独唱形式,乐器仅限于铃、腰鼓和吹奏乐器,常与西曲中的舞曲穿插在一起表演;其歌辞体式明显受到吴声的影响;从地域角度来看,西曲中的倚歌和舞曲主要产生于荆、楚、樊、邓之间,但同时又与吴地有着密切的关系,这与南朝时期地域之间频繁的商旅往来以及统治者的个人爱好等颇有关系。

The forming of the Yi song can trace back to the Liu Song period of the Southern Dynasties or earlier. In music, it adopts solo without harmony, and in music instruments, confines to bells, waist drums and wind instruments, playing often together with the dancing songs of the Western Melody. As for the style of song words, it is evidently influenced by the Wu song. But from the region, both the Yi song and the dancing music of the Western Melody chiefly come from the surrounding area of Jing, Chu, Fan and Deng, and, at the same time, have a close tie with the Wu area, which had something with the frequent trade-change among them as well as the hobby of rulers during the Southern Dynasties.
