南风一曲 千载风韵——朱载堉古琴论文化蕴涵析

A Piece of Music, the South Wind, for Millions of Years It Going Around——The Cultural Connotation of Zhu Zaiyu's View on Chinese Lyres

明代杰出的乐律学家朱载堉,在其代表性著作《律吕精义》中,曾选取了若干古琴谱作为范例,阐述对古琴艺术的见解,尤其是对相传为舜帝所作的《南风》歌,更详加解说,并于其中融汇了古代礼乐文化的丰富内容。朱载堉的古琴论的文化蕴涵可归结为三个方面:其一,古琴谱构成的象征意义;其二,古琴曲风格的教化作用;其三,古琴歌辞句的人文价值。

Zhu Zaiyu was a distinguished Temperament scholar in Ming Dynasty. In his work, Key Meaning of the Temperament, he chose some of the scores of Chinese Lyre, especially the score of the south wind, which was said written by the Lord of Shun, to expound his view on the art of Chinese Lyres. He thought that these scores contained rich sources of the ancient Li and Yue (means etiquette and music). His view on the art of Chinese Lyres mainly contains the following aspects: first, the composing of the scores' symbol significance; second, the effect of cultivation of the musical feature; and the humanity value of the words in the scores.
