春秋战国宫廷音乐表演体制

The Performance System of Court Music the in Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period

春秋战国是继西周统一格局后的乱世,天子衰微,诸侯夺权,礼制崩塌。西周时期等级森严的礼乐制度,在春秋战国时期逐渐打破了合一的局面,礼的成分削弱,乐的成分增强。在春秋战国的不同时期,宫廷音乐表演体制上的乐舞活动所依托的礼仪程式、礼制瓦解后乐的表现形态以及掌权者享用乐舞的理念都发生了变化。

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring State Period are the turbulent times following the unified dynasty of the Western Zhou.During this period,the power of the emperor declined,the dukes and princes seized power,and the system of etiquette collapsed.The unification of the system of rites and music of the Western Zhou dynasty with its strict hierarchies perished,the composition of rites weakened and that of music was intensified.In different phases of these two historical periods,the program of etiquette on which court music and dancing performances relied,the expressive forms of court music following the collapse of the etiquette system,and the philosophy for those in power to entertain themselves with music and dance performances all underwent great changes.
