王光祈国乐思想的当代价值

The Contemporary Value of Wang Guangqi’s Thoughts on National Music

王光祈作为近代中国著名的社会活动家和音乐学家,后半生致力于中西方音乐文化的比较研究,既向国内介绍西洋音乐的知识技能和理论体系,又积极主张将我国古老悠久的"礼乐"传统转化为新的"国乐"体系,将其精华、特色和独有功能等展现给西方世界,力图以独具"民族特性"的和谐"礼乐"推动"民族复兴"。从引入西方乐学体系强身固本、竭力挖掘国乐精髓对外传播、深入研判比较优劣影响至深等三个层面,可探讨王光祈国乐思想的内涵和精神实质,及在当代国家美育与艺术教育和社会精神文明建设中的重要价值。

Wang Guangqi,a well-known social activist and musicologist in modern China,devoted the latter part of his life to the comparative study on Chinese and western music cultures.He not only introduced the knowledge,skills and theoretical system of western music into China,but also advocated that the time-honored Chinese tradition of“li yue”,or rites and music,should be transformed into a new system of“guo yue”,or national music,and its essence,distinctiveness and unique functions should be presented to the west,so as to promote the national rejuvenation by harmonious“li yue”featuring national identity.Mainly from three aspects,namely introducing the musicology system of the west to consolidate that of China,exploring the essence of national music to facilitate its dissemination overseas,and in-depth study and comparison of the pros and cons of national music,this paper aims to discuss the connotation and ethics of Wang Guangqi’s thoughts on national music,as well as its significance in the contemporary national aesthetic education and art education,and in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.
