The Origin of Shang Qing Music

There are two opinions about the source of Qing Shang music: First, it originated from ancient Shang songs, and Huainanzi's martial arts training was highly induced: "Qing, Shang also; Turbid, palace is also "so the Shang and Song dynasties have the meaning of clearing the business; On the other hand, in the Song of Harmony written by Yuefu in the Han Dynasty, it is said that the Qing merchants have three voices in Qing merchants. These three tones include flat voice, unvoiced voice and soft voice. The Qing dynasty is dominated by merchants, and the Qing merchants represent the three tones, so it is called the three tones of Qing merchants. Pingdiao and Qingdiao in Han Dynasty are the remains of Fang music in Zhou Dynasty, and the music of Qing merchants spread to Tang Dynasty, and Snow White still exists, which shows the origin of Qing merchants' music. Shang Qing music has a long history, constantly absorbing the nutrition of Han folk music and dance, and has new works, which are considered as the mainstream in Zheng Sheng, China.

"Shu Wei" said that Cao Cao "Mountain climbing must be endowed, and it is to create new poems and orchestral instruments, all of which are in music." The poetry creation in Cao Wei period was further developed under the influence of Yuefu poetry. With the progress of the times, there are more and more contents in Shang Qingle, including "old songs in the Central Plains" and "new sounds" newly developed in the south of the Yangtze River.
