浅谈学堂乐歌中对日本军国主义歌曲的引入

On Introduction of the Japanese Militarism Song in School Songs

由于相似的地缘文化和遭遇,近邦日本音乐对近代中国音乐史的开端——学堂乐歌的影响至关重要,早期大批学堂乐歌的创作都是从日本直接引入乐曲进行填词,然而,由于当时特殊的社会环境,一批原是歌颂日本军国主义、鼓舞日本军人对外入侵(多为入侵中国)的歌曲被引入中国。这种现象在今天看来,不免有长他人志气,灭自己威风的嫌疑。但返归历史,当时一批音乐人不加筛选地引进日本乐曲,实为救国救民心切之举。

Because of the similar regional culture and bitter experiences, the Japanese music had great influence on the school songs -the beginning of modem Chinese music history. In the early days, large numbers of school songs were created by writing words to directly introduced Japanese melodies in China. However, because of the special social environment at that time, some songs which once praised Japanese militarism and encouraged Japanese soldiers＇ invasion （ mainly invasion of China） were also introduced into China. This kind of phenomenon is unavoidably regarded as encouragement of enemy＇ s morale and reduction of our own courage today. But this is a fact that musicians were too eager to save the country and the people to choose the melodies for China at that time.
