北宋乐改考论

The Textual Research on Music System Reform of the Northern Song Dynasty

历代雅乐不相沿袭,北宋宫廷雅乐频繁改作,前后经历“六变”,主要体现是乐律的改革和形器之变。除太祖年间乐制改革重树了唐末以后废坏的乐制体系外,其他五次改革,均是在否定前制基础上的创新。雅乐多变及其试图标新立异与当时的思想变革相联系,包含着宋儒对理想制度的追求。宋代的乐制改革,实则是现实政治力量频繁变动的结果,既符合这一时期“法令议论”的主题,亦显示出乐制在北宋政治中的地位和作用。

The rites and music was not inherited in different dynasties,and it was frequently reformed and underwent“six changes”successively in the Northern Song Dynasty,mainly reflected in the revolution of the musical temperament and the change of the shape of musical instrument.Except for the reform of the music system during the Taizu Period,which rebuilt the music system that was destroyed after the end of the Tang Dynasty,the other five reforms were all innovations based on denying the previous systems.The variability of the rites and music and its representative characteristics were related to the transformation of opinions at that time,and it contained the Confucius′pursuit of the ideal system in the Song Dynasty.The reform of the music system in the Song Dynasty was actually the result of frequent changes in real political power.It not only conformed to the theme of the“law discussion”during this period,but also showed the status and role of the music system in Northern Song politics.
