“旋宫转调”谬说再辨

Differentiating Anew the Fallacies of"Change of Keys and Tunes"

“调高”与“调式”作为中国传统音乐理论中的两个重要术语,决定了“旋宫”与“转调”是两个概念。旋宫指调高的变换,即不同宫系统的转换;转调指调式的变换,即同宫系统的转换。“旋宫转调”是“一个概念”之说,并非古代文献之本义,其语言逻辑缺失,结构层次紊乱,因而不能成立。

Two important terms in traditional Chinese music theory,"keys"and"tunes"determine that"change of keys"and"change of tunes"are two distinct concepts.Change of keys refers to the transformation of keys,that is,the transformation of different key systems.Change of tunes refers to the transformation of the tune type,that is,the transformation of the same tune system.The assertion that"change of keys and tunes"is"the same concept"does not express the original meaning of ancient documents and cannot therefore be established due to its missing language logic and disordered structural hierarchy.
