调依均而成 均依律而定——论中国传统乐理之“均”的音阶取向

Tune fromYun and Yunfrom Temperament

"均"是我国传统宫调理论之一,先秦《吕氏春秋》至后来历朝历代的《乐志》《礼志》对此都有阐述。上世纪初,西学东渐,乐界惯于用西方音乐的理论范式来描述我国古老的乐学。就"音阶"概念而言,与"均"有几分相似,且逐渐取代了"均"的文本表达。文章着眼于对"均"的多维度剖析,旨在厘清它与西方"音阶"概念之异同,并期许为中国传统乐理正本清源。

Yun is one of Chinese traditional Gong-mode theories, and there are explanations of it in Yuezhi （music book） and Lizhi（ritual book） in dynasties even since Pre-Qin. With the introduction of Western learn- ing to the East at the early of the last century, the Chinese music circle accustomed gradually to using the Western music theory paradigm to describe the ancient Chinese traditional music knowledge. For the concept of ＂scale＂, since it similar to Yun somewhat, so the Chinese music circle gradually replace Yun with the scale in the text expression. This paper focus on the Yun with multidimensional analysis, aims to clarify it similarities and differences with the ＂scale＂ conception in the West music theory,hope to get to the root of Chinese tradi- tional music theory radically.
