秋月荻花 瑟瑟胡曲——从《琵琶行》看白居易的西域音乐情结

On Bai Chuyi's Affection for Music from the Western Regions Embodied in The Song of a Lute

白居易对西域音乐情有独钟,他在许多诗歌中都表现出对西域音乐的独特感受。他将对西域音乐的理解领悟力与其西域情结相沟通,用形象生动的语言意象,为人们呈现出对西域音乐与众不同的感受,生动再现西域音乐特色。而《琵琶行》中对琵琶女演奏技艺的精湛描摹,更体现了他对西域音乐的高超鉴赏力和音乐素养,将西域音乐的特性表现得淋漓尽致。

Bai Chuyi （772 -846） had a deep affection for the music from the Western Regions, both north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. With a special love to the Western Regions, he had expressed his unique un- derstanding of the music in the lines of his poems with vivid images. This paper discusses about his affection for the music by a case study of his poem The Song of a Lute, in which he had given a vivid description of the lute - playing girl′s skills. And the author thinks that such a description present the readers the nature of the music from the Western Regions, and his own unusual taste for music as well.
