对“郑声淫”一说的重新考据

Revisiting "The Obscenity of Songs in Zheng"

'郑卫之音'是历史上饱受争论的一个音乐概念和文学概念。孔子是有记载的最早提出这个概念的人,他曾在不同场合讲过'放郑声''郑声淫'和'恶郑声之乱雅乐也'等话。而后的哲人儒者,针对'郑声淫'的问题,或引经据典究其始末,或论古及今再添新意,但归根结底,所论的议题多不离《诗经·郑风》与'郑声淫'中的'郑声'之间的对应关系。本文力求明确'郑声'和《郑风》的具体所指,进行两者的文化比较,阐释'郑声淫'这一理论提出的意义和影响。

"The songs of Zheng and Wei" is a musical and literary concept evoking much controversy in history. Confucius,who was the earliest recorded person to come up with this concept, once said "ban the songs of Zheng, "The songs of Zheng are obscene" and "I hate the songs of Zheng confounding classical music" on different occasions. Afterwards, concerning the issue of "the obscenity of songs in Zheng", the Confucian philosophers either quoted the documents as a whole or added new ideas to the past. In a word, they focused on what "the songs of Zheng" is like. This paper seeks to clarify the specific meanings of "The songs of Zheng" and "The poetry of Zheng", compares them culturally to explain the significance and influence of the theory of "the obscenity of songs in Zheng".
