洞经音乐产生时间考辨

To Observe and Study on Dongjing Music

关于洞经音乐的产生时间,前人曾有过多种说法,有的认为它始于传说中的"龙汉"时代,由元始天王所创;有的认为它是在周武王时代,由文昌帝君得三真人所受而流传于世;还有的认为它分别产生在隋唐、唐代、南宋、宋元以及金元几个不同历史时期。然而,在笔者新近从音乐研究的文献资料中发现,洞经音乐并非产生于上述时间段,而是产生在稍晚于道教音乐的东晋南北朝时期。

There are several versions of the engendering time of Dongjing music, however, after reading sets of documentary materials on music, the author finds that, Dongjing music came into being during Dongjin period as well as the Northern and southern dynasties.
