琴曲《良宵引》作者考辨

Study of the Author of Guqin Song an Introduction to Auspicious Night

《良宵引》一曲自明代出现以后,因其精妙绝伦,便于入门,深为操缦者所喜,传谱者遂托名于古人,欲增其价值以广其传。因文献中有贺若弼曾创作宫声十小调的记载,于是他便成了《良宵引》"作者"的上佳人选。但这条记载实际上是应归于贺若夷的,辗转至误,便出现了"贺若弼创作《良宵引》"的说法。

Ever since it appeared in the Ming Dynasty,an Introduction of Auspicious Night has been loved by guqin players,due to its exceptional exquisiteness,and easy to learn.The inheritors of this song,thus,wanted to give its authorship to some ancient musician,in order to augment its value,and promote its spread.Since the literatures documented that Aeruo Bi created ＂Ten Songs in Gong Sheng＂,he became a good candidate for the ＂author＂of this song.However,even this record actually belongs to Heruo Yi.By mistakes,there appeared the version of story that Aeruo Bi created An Introduction of Auspicious Night.
