论汉魏六朝仪式歌辞的文化功能与传播特点

On Cultural Function and Transmission Characteristics of Ritual Lyric in Han Wei and Six-dynasties

仪式歌辞是为满足封建王朝各种仪式活动需要而创作音乐歌辞,因其满足仪式活动之需的特殊功能,内容上强调其与仪式活动符号象征的一致性,形式上多采用典雅的四言正格,在传播方式上呈现出程序性、依附性、组织性和共时性特点。仪式歌辞特殊的文化功能和传播特点决定了其传播效果的局限性,在传播范围的拓展性、传播时间的延续性方面均不能与娱乐歌辞相比,人们对仪式歌辞的接受,也主要是从其内容的"象征图式"和"意象结构"出发的,是否美听悦耳不是接受重点。

Ritual lyric is the music ode which is created to meet the needs of the ritual activities in feudal dynasty. Because its special function is to meet the need of the ritual activities,it emphasizes the consistency of ritual activities in content,uses elegant four-character phrases in forms,and has procedural,dependent,organizational and synchronic features in transmission. Cultural function and transmission characteristics of ritual lyric decide the limits of its communication effect,so it cannot be compared with entertainment lyrics in development of spreading scope and duration of propagation time. People's acceptance of the ritual lyric is mainly from symbolic pattern and image structure of content,whether melodious or not is not important.
