《太古传宗》乐谱的历史境遇与历史价值

The Historic Lot and Value of the Music of Tai Gu Chuan Zong

该文继前人的研究,对《太古传宗》乐谱中尚较模糊的历史价值与历史境遇问题进行探讨,认为该谱是元明以来北曲音乐的遗存是不争的事实,但由于其处于南音竞艳斗芳的时代,因此,该谱南音化的倾向也不容置疑。但其南音化程度尚属早期,所以,《太古传宗》乐谱对于北曲音乐的研究仍是现存较早的不可多得的善本。

Based on the predecessors'studies,this paper probes into the historic lot and value of the music of Tai Gu Chuan Zong,which are still somewhat fuzzy.Judged from the relevant historical data,it is an undisputable fact that this music is the remain of the northern music of Yuan and Ming Dynasties,during the time when the southern music was flourishing.The music was surely influenced by the southern music.However,the influence by the southern music was so little that the music of Tai Gu Chuan Zong is the rare reliable early music for the studies of northern music.
