Studies in Traditional Chinese Theatre Music/?????? (Chinese Edition) [Chinese]

By 张民

This volume represents a significant contribution to the scholarly literature on xiqu music, synthesizing the author's extensive research over many years in the field. Situating its inquiry within the broader historical development of Chinese opera, the work systematically investigates the origins of operatic music, the historical evolution of its vocal and instrumental systems, its structural and metrical organization, and its orchestral conventions, while maintaining a productive balance between general theoretical analysis and genre-specific investigation. The study provides critical examinations of the musical idioms characteristic of regional tune systems, the internal logic governing vocal melody, rhythmic variation, and the instrumental complement of wen and wu ensembles, and the dynamic interrelationship among musical score, dramatic text, and stagecraft. In dialogue with the contemporary situation of operatic transmission, the author also engages with questions of preservation, reform, and viable pathways for the modern reinvigoration of traditional operatic music. Marked by its meticulous argumentation and rich documentary foundation, the book successfully integrates theoretical discourse with empirical case studies. It resolves a number of foundational theoretical issues within the field while also addressing the practical concerns attendant upon the modernization of operatic arts. An essential reference for theatre scholars, music students and instructors, opera practitioners, and general readers with an interest in traditional culture, this work is an invaluable resource for the study of Chinese operatic music. 本书是戏曲音乐领域重要学术研究著作，汇聚学者长期深耕戏曲音乐领域的研究成果。作者立足于中国戏曲发展脉络，系统考察戏曲音乐的生成渊源、声腔流变、曲体结构与伴奏体系，兼顾宏观理论梳理与剧种个案分析。 书中深入辨析各地戏曲声腔的艺术特征，探究唱腔旋律、板式变化、文武场伴奏的内在规律，剖析戏曲音乐与剧本、舞台表演之间相辅相成的共生关系。同时结合戏曲传承现状，讨论传统戏曲音乐的保护、革新与当代转化路径。 全书论证扎实，史料丰富，理论与实例相结合。既厘清戏曲音乐诸多基础理论问题，也回应戏曲艺术现代化发展面临的现实议题。适合戏曲理论研究者、音乐专业师生、戏曲创作者以及传统文化爱好者阅读参考，是研究中国戏曲音乐不可多得的专业文献。
