论《乐府正义》之释与评

Explanation and Criticism of Yuefu Zhengyi

朱乾的《乐府正义》是清代影响最大的乐府诗选本。该书以理义为先,其释义与批评尤有独到之处。通过文献考辨与文本细读,可知朱乾对所选乐府诗的字词注解、文本考释与题解阐释皆有依有据,为今天释古乐府指引了门径;更重要的是,其对乐府歌辞的观念和政治倾向也进行了批评。可见,朱乾对乐府歌辞所承载的礼乐文化更为重视,提出了"声音"生于"理义","乐不可乱"的主张。

"Yuefuzhengyi ", written by Zhu Qian, is the most influential collection of Yuefu poetry in the Qing Dynasty. This book prioritizes reason and righteousness with unique interpretation and criticism. Literature investigation and text perusing reals that Zhu Qian’s interpretation of the content and title of Yuefu is well-founded, providing a guidance for today’s interpretation of the ancient Yuefu. More importantly, he also criticized Yuefu’s ideas and political leanings. It can be seen that Zhu Qian pays more attention to the ritual music culture carried by Yuefu, and puts forward the proposition that "music" is born in "righteousness" and "music cannot be used indiscriminately".
