试论中晚唐音乐文化转型之特征

A Tentative Analysis of Transformative Features of Musical Culture in the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty

唐代音乐文化的繁荣主要集中于盛唐,学术界历来对盛唐音乐评价高,而对中晚唐时期的音乐关注不多。唐代音乐的发展在各个时期均有不同的特征。与盛唐相比,中晚唐时期的音乐亦有着自身转型的新变化。宫廷音乐的散落与重建、民间俗乐的开放与兴起,文人音乐、私家乐伎和军营音乐的隆起,形成了这一时期音乐发展的主要特征。尽管中晚唐音乐兴盛的规模和艺术成就难以超越盛唐的水平,但是对于整个唐代音乐文化的发展也做出了一定的贡献。

The prosperity of music culture in the Tang Dynasty occurred in the flourishing age of the dynasty, so the academic world has always valued highly the music at this age but showed little concern with the music in the middle and late dynasty. In fact, however, the development of music in the different phases of the dynasty presen- ted different features. Compared with the flourishing age, the music in the middle and late phases had its leading distinctions of transformation, including the fall and re-construction of court music, opening and rise of folk music and spread of scholastic music, private musicians and barracks music. Although the prosperity of music in the mid- dle and late phases of the dynasty was not comparable with that in the flourishing phase either in scale or in artistic accomplishment, it made certain contributions to the development of music culture in the Tang Dynasty as a whole.
