踏歌与中日文化交流——兼论日本对外来文化的接受与改造

Walk Song and Sino-Foreign Cultural Communication——Japanese Adoption and Alteration towards Foreign Cultures

踏歌是一种历史悠久的歌舞娱乐形式,起源于中国,于隋、唐之间传入日本,被日本宫廷接收并改造为官方的殿堂乐,存在了约六百年,成为日本文化史上的一个正式片段,对后来能乐、狂言的发生有着显著影响。踏歌在日本被接受和改造、吸收的过程,反映了日本对待外来文化的基础性态度及其有目的、有计划、改造性、融入性的吸收规律。这种现象始终存在于日本的历史发展进程中,对今天的国际文化交流活动仍有一定参考价值。

Walk Song is an entertainment style of song and dance with a long history, which originated in Chi- na, and spread into Japan in the Tang dynasty. As a normal sequent of Japanese culture, Walk Song has im- portant effects on the latter opera of Nou Raku and＂ Kyougen. The process of Walk Song＇s acceptation and al- teration reflect Japanese basic attitude towards foreign culture. The phenomenon, which always exists in the historical developing process of Japan, still has referential value for the activity of modem national cultural communication.
