叶华与《太平清调迦陵音》

Ye Hu and Taiping Qing Tune Jialing Tone

明代叶华作《迦陵音指迷十六观》与元代顾瑛《制曲十六观》类似但并非完全相同。《迦陵音》是叶华编辑的散曲集,并非其独自创作。所收散曲除两首时调小曲"短歌"不明来历外,《闲情》乃马致远的《秋思》,《玩月》取自沈仕《唾窗绒》,其余套曲、小令取自汪廷讷《坐隐先生集》。叶华对所选录的散曲进行了不同程度的改编与压缩。从思想倾向来看,《迦陵音》一写归隐乐闲,一写叹世悟真,且始终贯穿着对佛道二教的体悟。

Sixteen Views on Jialing Tone by Ye Hua of the Ming dynasty is similar to Sixteen Views on Composing Singing Verse by Gu Ying of the Yuan dynasty,but they are not exactly the same. Jialing Tone is the collection of sanqu,namely lyric verses edited but not created by Ye Hua. Except two ballads with unknown origins,Leisure is originated from Ma Zhiyuan＇s Mood in Autumn,Appreciating Moon is from Shen Shi＇s Lovesick by the Window,and the rest are from Wang Tingne＇s Collected Works of Mr. Zuo Yin. Ye Hua adapted and compressed these verses in different degrees. From the perspective of the thought,Jialing Tone is on withdrawing from the society and criticizing the practical life,which both permeated with the understanding of Buddhism and Taoism.
