《枯木禅琴谱》释论

Interpretation of “Withered Wood Dhyana Spectrum of Guqin”

《枯木禅琴谱》为"广陵五谱"之一,琴僧释空尘辑著,其部分琴论及琴曲继承《五知斋琴谱》,且在琴曲创作与演奏美学方面总结了广陵派琴曲的特点。题名"枯木"之典源出禅宗,寓枯木逢春、真空妙有之意,也是琴德的具像化描绘。《琴谱》创造性继承了前人"以琴喻禅"之论,强调乐与道通,阐释了琴乐是琴弦、妙指与主体的精神意趣三者因缘和合而成的缘起理论,并陈述了弹琴的各种技法、琴音特色以及琴曲风格等,旨在说明有形之声音在"心"感知元音过程中的重要作用。

The Qin spectrum of the withered wood dhyana is one of the "Guangling Five Spectrum", which was compiled by Qin monk Shi Kongchen. Part of the Qin theory inherited the "Wuzhi Zhai Qin Spectrum" as well as some music characteristics of Guangling Schoo. The title "Withered Wood Dhyana" was derived from chan sect. It contains the meaning of dry wood in spring and vacuum. It is also a figurative depiction of the virtue of Qin. It creatively inherits the theory of "using the Qin" and emphasizes music of Qin. It explains the origin theory that the music of Qin is a combination of the spirit of the strings, the wonderful fingers and the subject, and also explains various techniques, characteristics and the style of the Qin. The purpose is to explain the important role of tangible sound in the process of "heart" perceiving music.
