西汉歌儿考辨

On Children Choir in the Western Han Dynasty

西汉音乐领域有一个特殊的群体,他们通常被称为"歌儿"。最初,他们只在宫中宴饮和祭祀上进行乐曲吹唱,发展到后来他们的身影开始出现在地方上,成为西汉社会一支不容忽视的音乐群体。

In the musical world of the Western Han Dynasty,there once existed a special group generally called ＂Children Choir＂.At first,they only sang at feasts and sacrificial rituals at the royal palace;later on,they began to appear locally,thus becoming a significant music group in the Western Han Dynasty.
