琴筝瑟文学研究史初论

A preliminary Discussion of the History of Qin,Zheng and Se Literature

琴、筝、瑟是中国古代极为重要的三件乐器,常常因相同的礼乐文化背景而并称,为文人阶层所特重。古代至近代,人们对琴的关注与研究从未中断,对筝与瑟的关注与研究则有起有伏。“琴筝瑟文学书写”文本虽始终存在于中国古代各类文献中,但却长期处于散落的状态,直到近现代因学科分化与交叉才逐渐作为一类文学文本走进学者们的视野。近现代以来,音乐考古学、图像学等学科的研究成果也对琴筝瑟文学的研究多有助益,并在不同时期呈现出较为明显的研究偏好与特征,这些研究角度与方法使得琴筝瑟文学的研究更加立体丰满,而“琴筝瑟文学”文本引起的广泛关注也反映了近代以来研究者和审美意识形态对传统文学与音乐的重视。

Qin,Zheng and Se are three extremely important musical instruments in ancient China,which are often called together because of the same ritual and music cultural background,and are especially valued by the literati.From ancient times to modern times,people never stopped paying attention to the study of zither,while the study of Qin and Zheng had ups and downs.Although the text of "Zither literature writing" has always existed in various ancient Chinese documents,it has been scattered for a long time.It was not until modern times that it gradually entered the vision of scholars as a kind of literature due to the division and intersection of disciplines.In modern times,the research results of music archaeology,iconology and other disciplines are also helpful to the research of Qin,Zheng and Se literature.
