南音:最早风靡海外的中国之声

Nan Yin: the Earliest Overseas Voice of China

英国牛津大学汉学家龙彼得教授发现并提出"南音",从此令学界开始关注"南音"。文章追溯了"南音"和"梨园"的历史及其在吕宋岛(菲律宾)、爪哇(印尼)、暹罗(泰国)等地的广泛传播,并将龙彼得教授"明刊本三种之硏究"第二章《闽南的古典戏曲》(1589-1791年在海外的演出)作为"最早风靡海外的中国传统音乐南音"的论述主轴,意在表示作为母体音乐的"南音"花开五叶,借梨园、傀儡、掌中、高甲、歌唱、舞蹈、戏剧、弄偶的表演形式,植入民间世代传承而生生不息,更早在中世纪,"南音"和"梨园"已飘洋渡海走出国门流布东、南、北海诸岸,也包括台湾地区。
