丝路“箜”谈不空谈——丝绸之路上箜篌的名称、时间、地域、文化载体及原因诸问题的思考

On"Konghou"of the Silk Road:Thoughts on the Name,Time,Region,Cultural Carrier and Reasons of Konghou on the Silk Road

箜篌是丝绸之路的产物,它的历史比狭义丝绸之路要久远的多,是源自美索不达米亚的古代竖琴亚种。在东西方文化交流的不同阶段,箜篌展现出了不同的形态特征,这与其主属文化是相一致的。如果能将其形制、形态上的不同及促成其变化的主流文化对应清楚,是一个非常有意义的过程,因为它将从另一个角度诠释丝绸之路及先丝绸之路曾经的多元交流。竖琴到箜篌的文化过渡、箜篌自身的文化生发、箜篌与人和物的文化撞击都真实的在丝绸之路上上演。

Konghou is a product of the Silk Road.Its history is much longer than that of the Silk Road in narrow sense.It is a subspecies of ancient harp originating from Mesopotamia.In different stages of cultural exchanges between the East and the West,Konghou exhibited different morphological characteristics,which are consistent with its main culture.It is a very meaningful process to clearly clarify the differences in its shape and form and find the causes with mainstream culture.Because it will interpret the diverse exchanges of around the period of the Silk Road from another perspective.The cultural transition from harp to Konghou,the growth of Konghou's own culture,and the cultural collision between Konghou and people and things are all truly staged on the Silk Road.
