problem description:
Does anyone know the musical features of
< Book of Songs > and < Chu Ci >
Analysis:
We can see from the ancient poetry structure represented by the Book of Songs that singing three sighs is its typical structural mode. In the History of Music in Pre-Qin Dynasty, Mr. Li Chunyi defined the musical forms at that time by the poetic language structure of The Book of Songs, and summarized them into "one-part musical form" and "one-part musical form". The former is the repetition of a paragraph into a poem, forming an AAA structure. For example, "Feng Wang Caige":
A Peter Caige Xi, a day of sight, such as March Xi.
A, I've seen Xiao Xi for a day, like Sanqiu Xi.
A is fond of love, and it's like being three years old if I haven't seen you for a day.
In this repetition, most words and sentence structures remain unchanged, while some words change. One-part musical form is the repetition of two poetic paragraphs in interlacing, that is, the alternate appearance of two poetic paragraphs. For example, Qin Feng Yellow Bird:
A crosses the yellow bird and stops at the spine. Who is from Mu Gong? Ziche Yanxi. Taking advantage of this election is the special feature of a hundred husbands.
B is close to his point, and he is afraid of his chestnut. If you are pale, you will destroy my lover! How to redeem Xi, a hundred people.
A cross the yellow bird and stop at mulberry. Who is from Mu Gong? The sub-car travels in the middle. Take this trip, and you will be on guard against it.
B is close to his point, and he is afraid of his chestnut. If you are pale, you will destroy my lover! How to redeem Xi, a hundred people.
A crosses the yellow bird and ends in Chu. Who is from Mu Gong? Car needle tiger. Wei this needle tiger, the imperial of a hundred husbands.
B is close to his point, and he is afraid of his chestnut. If you are pale, you will destroy my lover! If you can redeem it, you will be a hundred people.
The whole poetic process adopts the structure of AAA or ABABABABBA, that is, overlapping and changing. If AB is regarded as a sound process A', the one-part form can be simplified as A'A'A', which is essentially isomorphic with the former. The feature of sound is instantaneous birth and death, and it is impossible to investigate the ancient sound, but only the text of the Book of Songs can reveal its * * * structure with music and the * * * structure of poetic music brought about by the * * * life of poetic music.
