论朱载堉的乐学与易学

On ZHU Zai-yu's Musicology and Yi-ology

明代杰出的乐律学家朱载堉,精研律历之学,苦心孤诣,创造了"新法密律",乃中国古代音乐史上辉煌成就之一。在代表性著作《律吕精义》中,朱氏坚持实事求是的精神,不盲从空疏荒诞之论,力寻确凿精切之征。然而,朱氏也曾依傍《周易》经典,在《易》学哲理、象数模式等方面,援经立论,或阐发义理,或论证律例,涉及到《易》理与乐理、《易》理与乐谱、《易》理与乐器等内容。本文以《律吕精义》为主要资料,论述朱载堉的律学思想与易学的联系。

ZHU Zai-yu, a distinguished musical scholar in the Ming Dynasty, probed deeply into pitch-pipe and calendric studies, and created the new dense pitches, which was one of the top accomplishments in Chinese musicological history. In his representative work, The Essence of Pitch Pipes, he never blindly followed the absurd arguments but adhered to tenablity. However, his achieve- ments were also based on the Zhouyi. Through drawing reference from the text of the Zhouyi and from the vantage point of image-nu- merology and meaning - pattern, he expounded on the his theory of music, involving in the relationship between the Yi and music the- ory, Yi and music score, Yi and music instruments, and so on. This paper discusses ZHU Zai-yu＇s idea on the relationship between musicology and Yi-ology, with the book The Essence of Pitch Pipes as main material.
