构建华夏传统音乐理论话语体系离不开西方成熟的经验为参照系,这是对西方音乐学术发展体系化的认同。华夏乐文化数千年间形成了独有发展脉络,回归历史语境从乐艺和文化双视角整体认知,厘清礼乐文明“治出于一”礼乐和俗乐两条主导脉络,以仪式性和非仪式性情感诉求、多种功能性为用、国家用乐引领,外来部伎融入,因制度、机构、户籍保障创制、承载、展演体系化。华夏乐文化从部族、聚落、方国到国家,从多元到一体;再从国家体制下一体多元、上下互动,呈现整体一致性和区域丰富性,华夏乐文化传统理论话语构建无论乐本体和文化整体彰显独特性内涵。西方经验为华夏乐文化传统学术探索提供参照系的同时,有助于深层思考和深层认知。

The formation of a theoretical discourse for traditional Chinese music necessitates reference the mature Western framework,representing an acknowledgment of the systematic development within Western music academia.With a distinct developmental trajectory spanning thousands of years,traditional Chinese music culture is best understood within its historical context from both artistic and cultural perspectives,must differentiate the two principal strands of ritual(礼)and secular(俗)music within the “unity of governance and music” civilization.This system was characterized by ritualistic and non-ritualistic emotional appeals,diverse functionalities,leadership from state-sponsored music,integration of foreign ensembles,and a comprehensive system for creation,maintenance,and performance guaranteed by institutions,administrative bodies,and the household registry system.Having progressed from disparate tribes,settlements,and fang-states to a unified nation,Chinese music culture transitioned from multiplicity to unity.This structure,characterized by an “integrated plurality” and dynamic interaction between state and local levels under the national framework,demonstrates both a coherent identity and regional diversity.Consequently,building a theoretical discourse for this tradition must capture the unique essence of its musical substance and cultural totality.The Western academic experience serves as a valuable reference point in this endeavor,facilitating deeper intellectual engagement and comprehension.
