自曾侯乙编钟出土以来,与曾国相关的考古发现接续起纵贯700年的礼乐遗存系列,证明了曾侯乙编钟与周朝礼乐一脉相承;说明周代的礼乐制度是发展的、变化的,乐器配置以及汉儒的界定具有时限性;但是,“诸侯轩悬”的制式,一直被尽可能地保持和延续。曾侯乙编钟的皇皇巨制传承有自,是周代礼乐之精华。其浸透着“和”的美学思想,承载着古代中国先哲们的智慧和精神,依特殊的人文背景代表着公元前5世纪世界音乐文化的高峰,成为人类轴心时代的珍贵遗产。

Since Zeng Houyi Chimes were unearthed,other archaeological findings about Zeng has shaped a series of ritual music that survived 700 years,which proves not only that Zeng Houyi Chimes and Zhou Chao's ritual music are in the same strain,but also that the ritual system of Zhou Dynasty was developed and changed while the configuration of instruments and the definition of Han Confucianism were time-limited.However,the system of“Zhu Hou Xuan Xuan”has been maintained and continued as far as possible.The legacy of Zeng Houyi Chimes is the essence of the ritual music of Zhou Dynasty,which embodies the aesthetic thought“To Be Harmonious”and carries the wisdom and spirit of ancient Chinese sages.Relying on its special cultural background,it reached the peak of world music culture in the 5th century BC,becoming the most precious heritage in the human axis era.
