乐籍与优名——社会学视角的中国古代优名回溯

Pariah Roster and Ancient Stage Names

艺名,应有其丰富的内涵与意蕴,而不是哗众取宠、急功近利。古代优人地位和处境深受身份等级的约束,没有人身自由,受到歧视,饱受摧残。即便如此,她们在丰富古代音乐、舞蹈文化方面亦作出了巨大的贡献。今天的艺人,若不考察看历史时代背景,用同样的方式效法取名,以媚于大众,则有无知之虞。

A stage name should have its rich connotation rather than curry favor by claptrap. In ancient China, actors and actresses were discriminated with their low social status and didn＇t have per- sonal freedom. Even in such a situation, they made great contributions to ancient Chinese art of music and dance. Today＇s artists should consider this historical background in following the ancient stage names. Otherwise, they would get trapped in danger of ignorance.
