带过曲成因新探

New Exploration into the Origin of Transitional Tunes

从发生学的角度而言,带过曲的本质为小令联唱,在元曲的传播中形成,不必有赖套数摆渡才得以出现。在今日所见文人带过曲、套数曲组背后有一个民间用曲唱曲的广大试验场,这才是带过曲诞生的源头所在。当然,在带过曲体式诞生之后,将套数中使用成熟的曲组摘取出来用作带过曲曲牌,是问题的另一层面。套数曲组是汇入带过曲的流,而非带过曲诞生的源。

In the Perspective of embryology, the essence of transitional tunes is a series of little tunes, which is formed in the transmission of yuan verse and does not depend on a cycle of songs. Besides the transitional tunes and cycle of songs made by man of letters, there is a great experimental field of the folks of this art, which is the real origin ,of transitional tunes. Certainly, after its birth it is another issue of taking over the mature form of songs and making it the name of some transitional tunes. The cycle of songs contributes to transitional tunes, but not the origin of the latter.
