Ancient Chinese Chime and Quqin
编钟与琴
Course Syllabus 课程章节
3In ancient China, the chime was a special instrument for the upper class, symbolizing rank and power. The chime of Marquis Zenghouyi is a chime set with the best preserved, the most complete and the most magnificent set with the most chimes ever discovered in China. It represents the highest achievement of China's Pre-Qin etiquette and music civilization and bronze casting technology, and has had a great impact in archaeology, history, musicology, science and technology history and other fields. This course mainly introduces the chime bells of marquis Zeng Yi through the stories behind them. From ancient times to the present, in the life and way of Chinese people, the melody of the zither lingers in the mind. I hope today this course can make more people appreciative of traditional Chinese high music, the flowing spirit of it, and the ethos in the music during the chaotic times.
在中国古代,编钟是上层社会专用乐器,象征着等级与权力。而曾侯乙编钟是中国迄今为止发现数量最多、保存最好、音律最全、气势最宏伟的一套编钟。它代表了中国先秦礼乐文明和青铜器铸造技术的最高成就,在考古学、历史学、音乐学、科技史学等多个领域都产生了巨大影响。本课程主要通过曾侯乙编钟背后的故事使大家对它有所了解。从古到今,在中国人的生命和生活里,琴韵袅袅,萦心绕梁,隐隐约约从未远离。高山知音、流水之韵,历经离乱寄予琴中的情志,但愿今天能被更多人懂得。
