昆明城郊子君村彝族土埙的调查和研究——兼谈古埙的发现及有关问题

Investigation and Study of Clay Xun from the Yi Village of Zi Jun in the Suburb of Kunming and Discovery of Ancient Xun and Related Issues

"阿乌"为彝族子君人自制的传统吹奏乐器,以土制成,类似古埙。据对"阿乌"的调查及考古出土部分古埙资料的联系对比,可知埙的起源甚早,不仅有陶埙,还应有土埙。因土器不能长期保存,故考古未见土埙,而子君人土埙的制作、吹奏方法、音律等对研究古埙提供了不可多得的类比材料。

Awu is a wind instrument made by Yi people from Zi Jun village.Made of clay,awu is very similar to ancient xun.The investigation of awu and the examination of unearthed materials about ancient xun indicate that xun has a long history.Apart from pottery xun,there must have been clay xun.Because clay instrument is hard to preserve,clay xun has never been discovered in archeological excavations.However,the way Zi Jun people make clay xun,their playing techniques and their musical scale provide a lot of valuable information for the research of ancient xun.
