中国近代歌曲繁荣成因研究

Research on the Reasons for Prosperity of Chinese Modern Songs

歌曲体裁在中国近代所呈现的繁荣景象表现在:近代大部分作曲家创作的大部分作品都是歌曲;近代的很多歌曲都可谓经典之作,且至今仍在传唱;近代的音乐活动以涉及歌曲创作和歌曲表演为主;近代歌曲体裁比古代歌曲体裁更为多样,其受众面也比古代更加广泛。这种繁荣现象的根本原因是中国人的音乐审美心理,即中国人固有的音色审美观、填词审美观、线性审美观和他律审美观;直接原因是中国近代半殖民地半封建的社会现实,当时的民族独立和民主革命都需要歌曲体裁作为其有力的宣传工具。可见,中国近代歌曲的繁荣是历史的积淀和时代潮流碰撞的必然结果。

The prosperity of Chinese modern songs is represented as follows： most of modern composers＇ works are mainly songs,many songs in modern times are classic and are still sung,writing and performing of songs are the principal parts of modern musical activities,and the genres of modern songs are more diverse and have a larger audience compared with those of ancient songs.The root for this prosperous phenomenon is the Chinese aesthetic psychology upon music,i.e.,Chinese intrinsic aesthetics on tone,lyrics,linearity and heteronomy.The direct reason is the reality of the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in Chinese modern times.At the moment of the national independence and democratic revolutions,songs are the forceful propaganda tools.Therefore,the prosperity of Chinese modern songs is an inevitable result of the collision between the sedimentary accretion of history and the trend of the times.
