曾侯乙编钟律制归属问题研究中的逻辑思维问题

Logic Thinking about Adscription Study of Pitch of Bell Chimes in Zenghou Yi Tomb

关于曾侯乙编钟律制归属问题,长期以来争论的焦点集中在对其测音数据的分析上。但由于编钟的发音特点及其埋藏历史久远等原因,迄今对其测音数据的不确定性难以作出令人信服的律制判断。本文尝试以新的思路重新审视此题,认为,无论从"复合律制"所暗示的线索,还是从当时的客观条件、主观愿望与音乐实践规律出发,曾侯乙编钟的音高体系所显示的只能是乐制特征,不可能、也无必要采取律学定制。

For long time the focus of dispute about adscription of pitch of bell chimes in Zenghou Yi Tomb is the analysis on the data of testing sounds. For reasons such as the sounding features of bell chimes and the long time burial, however, no convincing judgment of pitch can be drawn from the incertitude of the testing data. This article surveys this problem with a new approach of thinking, i.e. either from the clue implied by ＂complex pitch＂ or from the external conditions or the internal desire and the practicing rules of music, the pitch system of bell chimes in Zenghou Yi Tomb shows only the features of music system. There is no such possibility or requisiteness to use temperament.
