诗词赋呈现音乐美的三重维度

Three Dimensions for Ancient Chinese Poems to Present Musical Beauty

儒家的音乐价值观导致了古代中国人对音乐超乎寻常的推崇,继而导致了大量呈现音乐美的诗词赋的问世。诗词赋是语言的艺术,描述音乐形象绝非书面语言所长,但这些诗词赋却又要借助书面语言来描述音乐形象,并进而令人领略音乐的美。古代诗人是如何成功地做到这一点的?阅读这些诗词赋,不难发现它们共同的策略:以某一(些)具体的艺术手法令人联想音乐形象并进而令人感受音乐美。如果熟悉当下的音乐评论,你会发现,这些艺术手法也大多为音乐评论为用。本文试图从音乐的特征、音乐的效果、音乐的来源这三个维度总领这些诗词赋呈现音乐美的十种具体的艺术手法,从而对它们及其赖以形成的原理做出全面而系统的总结。

Confucian music values led to ancient Chinese people’s admiration for music and the emergence of a large number of poems presenting musical beauty. Poetry is the art of language. Describing musical image is by no means the advantage of written language. However,these poems have to use written language to describe the musical image,thus facilitating readers to appreciate the musical beauty. How did ancient poets finally succeed in this?It’s not hard for us to find their common strategy by reading these poems:make readers associate the musical image,and feel the musical beauty with one or some specific artistic techniques. If familiar with the current music reviews,you will find that these artistic techniques are mostly used for music reviews. The essay attempts to generalize the ten specific techniques for presenting musical beauty in these poems from the three dimensions:music characteristics,music effect and music source,and to make a comprehensive and systematic summary of the dimensions,the techniques and the principles on which they are based.
