双音乐钟转型之路:从战国中期到西汉早期

Dual-tone Collected Bells: The Road of Transformation from Middle Warring-States Period to the Early Western Han Dynasty

对于先秦编钟从商代到战国时期的发展轨迹目前已经有了较清楚的认识,但战国中晚期到西汉早期仍有大量编钟存在,学界关注却还不多,而这却是揭示双音编钟发展与衰落的重要时段。文章定睛于双音乐钟的转型问题,着重关注战国中晚期和汉代的出土乐钟,旨在厘清双音编钟消亡的轨迹。编钟在战国晚期至汉代早期有一次明显的转型,音梁和调音方式发生重要变化,西汉早期有过短暂的重兴,西汉中期后双音钟逐渐退出舞台。

The essay focuses on the excavated collected bells( bianzhong) of the middle and late Warring-States Period and the early Western Han Dynasty( ca. 4th ~ 2nd BC),trying to make clear the way of the rise and fall of the dualtone collected bells. This kind of instruments witnessed an obvious transformation between the late Warring-States Period and the early Western Han Dynasty,with important changes in their beams and tunings.
