中国古代声乐演唱美学的历时性展开——从《师乙篇》到明清“唱论”的历史演进轨迹

Performing Aesthetics of the Ancient Chinese Vocal Music

中国古代声乐演唱理论是古代音乐美学的一个重要组成部分,这个理论的开端是《乐记·师乙篇》,其中几个重要命题在后来不断发展,成为明清"唱论"的主体。一是由"抗坠"说发展出气本体论,二是由"贯珠"说生发出声音形态论,三是由"折槁"说催化出声音张力论,四是由"动己"说孕育出声情美感论。文章还考察了古代声乐演唱理论轴心的演变,分析了演唱本体和表现内容从"情志"转到"情节"的过程和缘由。

The performance theory of the ancient Chinese vocal music is an important part of the ancient music aesthetics. The theory started from 'Yue Ji--Shi Yi Pian' and from which several important propositions developed, eventually becoming the main body of the 'singing theory' in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
