二胡人文精神之我见

My personal views to the humanistic spirit of the erhu (two-stringed fiddle)

旋律是二胡音乐的生命,而韵味又是二胡旋律的根本。有了好的根基和生命,再加上体现广大人民群众思想感情的人文精神,这才是有品味的二胡音乐。二胡演奏家的女性化发展是一种人文现象,这一现象和二胡造型的女性化发展,以及和二胡自身气质的吻合,看来早就有了二胡文化工程格式塔完形的自然调节和安排。音乐形象不是靠目眼去审视,而是靠心眼去审视。所以歌唱家的伴舞可以取消,二胡演奏的伴舞更应该取消。即便是要衬以背景,也应以静态为主,尽量避免以动感的材料为衬托。民乐的创新应该以以本为源、以变为流为其圭臬,至于“舍本逐末”或者“揠苗助长”的一些做法,那不叫创新,那是异化。我们需要有民族血统和有人文精神以及哲理境界的清新动人的旋律,需要情真意浓的新作品。

Melody is the life and aroma is the root of erhu music.Together with 'life' and 'root',the humanistic spirit that reflects people's emotion and feeling constitutes the taste and essence of erhu music.The feministic trend of erhu performers (i.e.more and more erhu performers are women) is a humanistic phenomenon.This phenomenon is in accord with the feministic mode-making and temperament of the erhu.It seems that it is a natural development of the erhu cultural gestalt.Musical image is not 'viewed' by eyes but felt by heart.That is why dance is not required for accompanying vocal music,and of course erhu music.If accompaniment is necessary in some circumstances,it is better to be static rather than dynamic.New traces of Chinese music should be based on its origin,white changes and deviation should be considered as branches.Any innovation that giving up its origin and putting excessive emphases on its branches should be considered as act of alienation.Therefore,in the realm of erhu music,we need the refreshing and charming melodies with Chinese lineage descent,humanistic spirit and philosophical state.We also need new compositions with sincere feeling and intense emotion.
