论《南音三籁》的性质与曲学成就

On the Nature and Achievement of Nanyinsanlai

《南音三籁》从其所选收的内容来看,也是一部曲体文学选本,但从编选者的动机与体例来看,实是一部选本型的曲谱,编者从曲牌、句式、平仄、衬字、韵位等方面,对一些具体的曲律加以了考订与论述,为作家填词作曲和演唱者度曲演唱提供了规范与借鉴。

Judging from the contents of Nanyingsanlai, it is a collection of musical literature; however, from the motive and form of the compiler, it is actually a collection of musical scores. The compiler studies and analyzes some specific music in such aspects as music name, sentence pattern, rhyme, word, and tone, thus providing standard and reference for both writers and performers.
