论北宋雅乐乐论的撰述类型与撰述语境

Writings on Yayue of Northern Song Dynasty:Their Types and Contexts

本文将北宋雅乐乐论的文献范畴定位于"关注论述北宋雅乐的各种言说",对有迹可考的著作和单篇文章加以梳理。这些乐论自身所具有的文体属性,保存了乐论撰述的写作目的和使用场合等有关信息,有助于探究乐论作为文本与其所生发的语境之间的关系。笔者划分了书文撰著、制礼作乐、科考应试、私人交流这四种不同属性的北宋雅乐乐论的写作活动,由此体现雅乐在当时的知识阶层中,学术的、政治的、人生的、相对大众或小众的等不同层面的社会生活中的存在和影响。
