构建中国自主知识体系,是新时代赋予包括音乐界在内的广大文艺工作者的重大课题。文章以习近平总书记关于哲学社会科学、文艺工作和文化传承发展的系列重要论述为根本遵循,从四个方面论述了对构建中国音乐自主知识体系的理解和思考:其一,从文化主体性立场出发,阐明构建自主知识体系的必要性;其二,以“两个结合”为立场和方法,说明自主知识体系“魂脉”与“根脉”的辩证统一;其三,结合创作、表演、理论、育人与传播实践,探讨自主知识体系对中国音乐文化繁荣发展的深刻影响;其四,从中国音乐自身出发,阐明构建自主知识体系是不同音乐文化的融会共通,是更高层次、更具主体性的文明交流互鉴。文章认为,唯有守正创新、以我为主、开放包容,中国音乐才能既深深扎根中华文明沃土,又自信从容地与世界对话。

Constructing China's independent knowledge system constitutes a major task entrusted by the new era to literary and artistic workers including those in the music circle. Guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on philosophy and social sciences, literary art work, and cultural inheritance and development, this paper elaborates the author's understanding and reflections on building China independent knowledge system for music from four perspectives. First, from the stand point of cultural subjectivity, it illustrates the necessity of constructing an independent knowledge system. Second, taking the “Two Integrations” as its standpoint and methodology, it expounds the dialectical unity of the “spiritual lineage” and “cultural root lineage” within the independent knowledge system. Third, combining practices of creation, performance, theorization, talent cultivation and communication, it explores the profound impacts of the independent knowledge system on the prosperity and development of Chinese music culture. Fourth, proceeding from Chinese music itself, it clarifies that constructing the independent knowledge system represents integration and mutual accommodation of diverse musical cultures, and embodies civilizational exchanges and mutual learning at a higher level with stronger cultural subjectivity. This paper argues that only by upholding fundamental principles while breaking new ground, maintaining its own cultural stand point, and pursuing openness and inclusiveness can Chinese music take deep root in the fertile soil of Chinese civilization and engage in confident and poised dialogues with the world.
