从踏歌看唐代中外娱乐风俗

Sino-Foreign Entertainment Customs in the Tang Dynasty from the View of Walk Song

踏歌是一种历史非常悠久的歌舞娱乐游戏活动,由于其动作简单、即兴歌舞的游戏特征,所以在古代各文明区域大都很早就出现并普遍形成了踏歌娱乐的风俗。然而,在中古时期,踏歌之所以在世界范围内能够得到广泛流行与传播,却与各地文化的交流与互动有密切关系。汉唐时期,由于对外交通孔道的空前畅通,中外文化交流的日益频繁,有力地促进了踏歌活动的兴盛与繁荣。

Walk Song is an entertainment of song and dance with a long history,which is simple in action like a game,so it was popular in the civilized areas in ancient times.However,in the mediaeval times the reason for its popularity is closely connected with the cultural exchanges and mutual reaction.In the dynasties of Han and Tang,wide roads to foreign countries and frequent cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries gave a strong push to the prosperity and popularity of Walk Song.
