中国音乐史视野中的《国语》与《左传》

On Guo Yue and Zuo Zhuan From the Perspective of Chinese Music History

《国语》和《左传》是中国古代史学名著,史家多据此两书考察先秦历史。然而,在中国音乐史的视野中,这两部著作同样重要,它给我们呈现了春秋时期大国争霸以外的别一番面貌,这就是崇尚音乐、热爱音乐,上层人士具有高度的音乐修养。正是在这个音乐的时代,产生了关于中国音乐的一系列重要思想和概念,其影响至今犹存。

Guo Yue and Zuo Zhuan are masterpieces of Chinese ancient history.Historians always examine the history of Pre-Qin period based on both of them.However,from the perspective of Chinese music history,these two books,being equally important,show a different aspect of the Spring and Autumn Period featured by successive wars,that is the high music cultivation of the upper class,as well as their admiration and love of music.It is in this musical era that a train of important thoughts and ideas about Chinese music come into being,and its influence is up to now.
