《律吕精义·乐器图样》读札

Reading Notes of Lülü Jingyi-Instrument Picture

朱载堉所撰《律吕精义》一书,在"乐器图样"部分专论乐器。他的研究除运用历史文献资料之外,主要结合音乐实践如乐器演奏和乐器制造等,并参考当时的出土乐器实物,所论对于当今古乐器学乃至音乐考古学研究,都具有一定的启示意义。由于时代的局限,当时的研究材料尚嫌不足,尤其是缺少考古实物,所以仅依靠文献或实验,虽然可以解决一些理论问题,但对乐器形制和音响性能的认识,还是难以全面深入,有时甚至会有所失察或失误。

Zhu Zaiyu wrote a book with the title of Lülü Jingyi（A clear explanation of that which concerns the equal temperament）,and there was a part devoted to instruments named Instrument Picture in it.In addition to using historical documents,his research mainly combined with music practice such as performance of instruments and instruments manufacturing,and refer to that unearthed real entities,the discussion had the certain enlightenment significance to the theory of ancient musical instruments study and even the music archaeological research at present.The article held that due to the limitations of the times,then the research materials were still inadequate,especially lack of archaeological materials,so only rely on literature or experiment,although some theoretical problems could be solved,but it was hard to awareness of instruments shape and structure,its sonority,and sometimes even had oversight or mistake.
