20世纪以来“候气法”研究述评

A Review of the Study of"Hou Qi"since the 2Oth Century

候气法是古人用律管来测定节气与考正律吕的方法,其理论及实践被历代官方正史及各种典籍所记载。20世纪伊始,国内学界开始关注候气法,至20世纪80年代对候气法的研究逐渐升温,并且呈现出“历史梳理”“真伪考辨”“文化阐释”三个层面的研究现状。通过对学界候气法研究成果的总结与反思,我们认为对候气法的研究应该回归历史语境,将其置于中国传统文化和思想史语境中进行考察并思考其文化内涵,在此基础上进一步解释它在中国音乐史及中国思想史中的意义和作用。

Hou Qi is a method used by ancient people to determine solar terms and test temperament.Its theory and practice is recorded in the official history and various classics.At the beginning of the 2Oth century,domestic academics began to pay attention to Hou Qi,and the research on Hou Qi gradually warmed up in the 1980s,presenting the status quo of three levels of research,namely,"historical outline","authenticity examination",and"cultural interpretation".Based on the summary and reflection of the research results of the Hou Qi in academic circles,we believe that the study of Hou Qi should return to the historical context,place it in the context of Chinese traditional culture and ideological history,and consider its cultural connotation,on this basis,further explain its significance and role in the history of Chinese music and Chinese ideological history.
