指中之象 势中之意——古琴指法手势图结构、内涵及琴乐生命精神解读

The Structure,Connotation and Life Spirit of Guqin Fingering

在传统琴谱文献中,关于抚琴手法的诠释有一个非常有特点的部分——即古琴指法手势图。手势图通常由图像、指法说明、手势比拟和兴文组成,共同构建了一个意味丰富的“象”,一个多维度意义传达的整体。每一个手势及其兴文的衍发,或“状其形,传其势”,或“喻其声,达其境”。这是琴乐传统独具价值的传承方式,它不仅是对指法手势的记录,而且内涵着广阔的意象空间。因此,重新解读古琴指法手势图,深入其整体结构、内涵及琴乐生命精神意义的挖掘,旨在倡导今日的琴乐传承回归古琴的文化传统。

In the traditional music documents,there is a very special part about the interpretation of the playing technique,i.e.,the hand gesture of the gu qin’s fingerings.The gesture map is usually comprised of image,fingering description,gesture analogy,and the xing wen,which together build a meaningful"image"and a multi-dimensional entity of meaning conveying.Each gesture and its derivation of the xingwen has functions of"shaping its image,spreading its power",or"indicating its sound and reaching its realm".This is a unique way of inheriting the tradition of the gu qin music.It is not only a record of fingerings and gestures,but also a broad image space.Therefore,it is necessary to reinterpret the hand gestures of the gu qin fingerings,and dig into its overall structure,connotation,and the spiritual significance of its life,so as to advocate the inheritance of today's gu qin music to return its cultural tradition.
