《诗经》之“雅”考

A Study of “Ya” in Book of Songs

关于什么是"雅",前人已做过不少研究,然而始终难以定论。文章在前人研究的基础上,试图从字源学和音乐的角度,考察"雅"作为华夏正声和一种音乐风格的含义,并进一步讨论"风"、"雅"、"颂"之分实为"主声"而非"主义"之证。

There are a lot of researches about ＂Ya＂, but they have never reached any conclusion. Based on those researches, this essay will try to study ＂Ya＂ as the standard tone of central China and as a music style from perspectives of the origin of words and music. What＇ s more, the difference among ＂Feng＂, ＂ Ya＂ and ＂Song＂ is for their tone not their meanings will also be discussed.
