对中日学校唱歌的发生与发展的思考

Some thoughts on Occurrence and Development of Singing Songs at School between China and Japan

音乐作为文化的一个领域 ,在中日交流中发挥着极其重要的作用。这一点从中日两国近代音乐交流的代表事物———学校唱歌 (中国早期称之为学堂乐歌 )中即得到反映。就中日两国而言 ,它体现了与西方音乐相接触时所发生的变迁 ,即音乐上的“涵化”过程。同时 ,由于两国社会历史条件、文化经济等方面的差异 ,因此两国的学校唱歌也有着不同的发展轨迹 ,对其的研究也正受到应有的重视。

Music, as a part of culture, has been playing an immensely important role in the communication between China and Japan. It is reflected in the most representative aspect of modern musical exchange between the two countries-singing songs at school (called amusing songs at school in the earlier period in China). For both of the countries, it embodies the vicissitudes that take place when we contact the western music, namely, an absorbing and digesting process of the western music. But the developing orbit in this area in the two countries is different because of the diversities in social, historical, cultural and economic respects in the two countries. Now more and more attention is paid to the study of this field.
