关于使用民族唱名法的倡议

Initiative on the Use of Chinese Solmisations

用语言中的音节演唱音阶中各音级的方法称为“唱名法”。目前,我国已不采用民族固有的唱名法,而让19世纪末到20世纪初从日本引进的基督教唱名法占据了统治地位。基督教唱名法虽然流传广泛,但有很多缺点和问题,其中最大的问题是只能演唱直音不能演唱腔音,从而阻碍了我国传统音乐的保存、继承和发展。根据印度、日本、印度尼西亚等邻国采用保存本民族唱名法和改造基督教唱名法的经验,提出使用我国传统律吕名和声名作为唱名的倡议,希望能够通过实践,不断改进,建立起民族特有的唱名法,促进民族传统音乐文化的伟大复兴。

The method of singing each tone of the scale with syllables in the language is called“solmisation”.At present,China has not adopted the traditional Chinese solmisations,but let the Christian solmisation introduced from Japan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries occupy the dominant position.Although the Christian solmisation is widely spread,it has many shortcomings and problems,among which the biggest problem is that it can only sing fixed tones without sing unfixed tones,thus hindering the preservation,inheritance,and development of our traditional music.According to the experiences of India,Japan,Indonesia and other neighboring countries,the author puts forward the proposal of using our traditional solmisations including fixed do method and movable do method.Hope that through practice,continuous improvement,the establishment of national unique solmisation,to promote the great revival of our traditional music culture.
