图像与音乐史研究之关系——以《点石斋画报》晚清音乐生活场景为例

Relationship Between Image and Music History-Take Images of Music Life in Late Qing Dynasty onDian-Shi-Zhai Pictorial as an Example

《点石斋画报》是晚清最具影响力的画报,其大量音乐图像不仅生动展现了民间器乐、歌舞、戏曲、曲艺等晚清中国音乐文化,还涉及军乐、钢琴、小提琴、机械乐器等外国音乐文化,体现了礼乐变化、西乐东渐等晚清音乐文化的历史转型。但是,视觉音乐图像不能简单等同于真实的音乐历史,音乐史研究一定要结合其他史料,来做音乐史实的最终定性。

Dian-shi-zhai Pictorial is the brilliant influential pictorial in late Qing Dynasty.The large number of music images vividly present Chinese music culture in late Qing Dynasty,including folk instrumental music,song and dance,traditional Chinese opera,and folk music theatre.They also involve foreign music cultures such as military music,piano,violin,mechanical instrument,etc.,reflecting historical transformation of music culture in late Qing Dynasty,such as the change of ritual music and the eastward spread of western music.However,these visual music images cannot be simply identified as the real music history,which must be combined with other historical materials to make the final qualitative analysis.
