略谈萧衍的音乐观

On Xiao Yan's Music Thought

萧衍的音乐观与其文学思想密切相关。他对雅乐的提倡仅限于朝廷音乐礼制的建设,而在具体实践中亦多有不合雅正要求之处,主要体现在三朝礼的用乐和雅乐歌辞的创作上。这与他对新声俗乐表现出的浓厚兴趣一致。可见萧衍的音乐观并不保守,不能以此证明其文学思想之复古。

Xiao Yan＇s music thought is closely related to his literary thought. His proposal on ＂Ya＂ music is limited within the domain of the construction of court ritual music. In practice, his view is deviant from the canonicals as well. These are mainly reflected in the music of ＂san chao ritual＂ and in the composition of ＂Ya＂ musical songs, which is in consistent with his strong interest in folk music. Thus, it is evident that Xiao Yan＇s music thought is not conservative and cannot be used as a proof for his conservative approach concerning literary thought.
