关于中亚的丝路音乐研究:相关成果篇

Music Research Outputs about the Silk Roads in Central Asia

中亚丝路音乐研究是以中亚研究为背景而展开的。其成功有赖于后者的发展,亦即以大批有关中亚的著作和译作的问世为条件。本文重点讨论1980年以来中亚研究的汉文成果表现,主张通过关于中亚的通史性著作,来确定音乐研究的时间坐标和空间坐标;通过国别史著作和专门史著作,来建立中亚音乐史的分期观念,进而认识音乐事物的民族内涵和文化内涵。在中亚研究领域,西域研究是较成熟的一部分。尽管新兴的中亚研究具有更广阔的学术视野,但传统的西域研究却为它奠定了扎实的基础。这一关系对于丝路音乐研究有三点启发:其一,要注意采用中国传统的考据方法;其二,要重视文献研究和文物调查;其三,要注意考察音乐同民俗、宗教、制度、语言、文学等事物的关系,使中国的中亚音乐研究成为全球中亚音乐研究中较具特色的组成部分。

Music research about the Silk Roads in Central Asia originated in Central Asian studies and developed alongside Central Asian studies,which produced a large number of publications about Central Asia.This paper focuses on the study of Central Asia in China since 1980,and proclaims that research into time and space in Central Asian music can be researched from the perspective of the general history of Central Asia.Divisions within Central Asian music history can be classified according to national history and special history.It is helpful to understand the national and cultural connotations of music.In the broad field of Central Asian studies,the study of the Western Regions is well established and provides a solid foundation for further research.This suggests three inspirations for further study of music on the Silk Roads:1).The application of Chinese traditional research methodology;2).Valuing literature research and the investigation of cultural relics;3).Paying attention to the relationship between music and folk customs,religious systems,language and literature,so that Chinese music research about Central Asia will become a distinctive part of the realm of global Central Asian music research.
