China’s Ancient Music Styles——Five Notes of the Ancient China’s Pentatonic Scale It is known universally that every nation has her own national music with characteristic style, and people can express or enjoy some particular feelings in particular kind music. As we know, music is emotive. Some aesthete s’understanding for western music is that B major usually expresses the aggrieved feeling; G major reminds people the feeling of flippant and impetuous; the character of E major is stable and quiet; D major is the most enthusiastic style; F major has the lascivious meaning, and so on. Western music is divided into different majors, China’s classic music is the same. It is divided into five types based on two factors——the emotion and the theme the music conveys. The five kinds of music named Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi and Y u. I’d like to share my idea for them with you.First, gong music is also called court music. Gong music is the most elegant and solemn music in ancient China. It is played in formal situation, and served to palace, only the highest class has the right and chance to enjoy it. So having gong music becomes a simple of a man’s high social position. Gong music is mainly played by bells and qings. It’s a pity that modern people can just imagine its beautiful audio from some ancient records. It is said that Confucius enjoyed a Gong music named “Shao” in Qi nation. He said a famous sentence to highly praise the music.The sentence is that “I couldn’t feel the music coming from throat for several months after enjoying “Shao”. I should explain the meaning of this sentence for you: ancient Chinese consider that the music played by wind instructions is more pleasant to the ears than the music played by stringed instruments, while, the music coming from human’s throat is more beautiful than the music played by wind music. From this opinion we know that ancient Chinese believe that the music sung by human is the most wonderful music. Confucius even can’t feel the sing’s music after he enjoyed the “Shao”, this proves that “Shao”is even more enjoyable than the sound of singing. “Shao” plays the role of the highest class, and it is the court music which lasts longest time in history, so it is praised as “China’s first movement”.Second, I’ll introduce another kind of style——Shang music. Shang music is closely related to war and hero. It is used to show the gallant men’s heroism. Shang music sounds resonant and carefree. “Suwu grazes sheep” which spreads far and wide among people is an example of Shang music. The music speaks highly of Suwu’s loyalty and righteousness. Suwu is an emissary from Han Empire to Xiongnu. The Chanyu wants Suwu to work for Xiongnu. However, Suwu takes on a hunger strike and the Chanyu can do nothing about it. Suwu is ordered to graze a group of male sheep in remote clearing north sea. The Chanyu promises to Suwu that he can back to Han Empire if these male sheep breed. Time flies,with the Han Empire’s effort, Suwu backs home 19 years later. He keeps his loyalty for Han until his hair turned white. As “Suwu grazes sheep”, most Shang music is sentimental, moved and somewhat tragic. Why? I think it is because of war. Everything related to war is abhorrent to human’s gentle nature, isn’t it?Third, the warmest music in the five is Jue music. It is called love’s melody. Only Jue music can convey people’s determination and the pure emotion to their lovers. Jue music reminds me a sentence written by Tang xianzu. “I don’t know where my love to you coming from, while the love keeps so long and concentrate. I believe that an alive person can love a died person who loved by the alive, and a died person can also love an alive person. People can seldom up to this level just because they didn’t love each other to the perfect realm.” How ideal state it is! These words are part of Tang xianzu’s prompt for his famous drama <peony pavilion> which talk about the love between a man and a churel (female ghost) . .Forth, the most melancholy feeling usually expressed through Zhi music. Zhi music specially shows people’s yearning for hometown. So it sounds very anxious and eager. Though many Chinese traditional cultures may disappear, missing home always be Chinese unchangeable spirit. There are many poems and works to express the homesick in classic literal. The most famous modern poem to express this emotion is surelythe “homesick” written by Yu guangzhong. The poem expresses Yu’s love and missing for his hometown in different period in his life.Last, Yu music is the paean of youth, so it is genuine, pure, resonant, lively, smooth, simple and natural in character. Youth may be the happiest time in one’s life. I guess that everyone is willing to remember his or her joyful and relaxed music only belonging to young time. So if you have enjoyed a piece of unforgettable music, sing it again while you read this paragraph.Five types of Chinese classical music——Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi and Yu are as beautiful as other arts, we may can’t understand it very well, but it has no effect on us enjoying music. Just as most people have no ability to read music book, they are able to enjoy music well. I hope that my paper could help you know china’s ancient music culture and fire your interest to have it.。

古人乐律之五音十二律

古人乐律之五音十二律

古人乐律之五音十二律五音古人把宫商角徵(zhǐ)羽称为五击或五音,大致相当于现代音乐简谱上的1(do)2(re)3(mi)5(sol)6(la)。

后来再加上变宫、变徵,称为七音。

变宫、变徵大致和现代简谱上的7(ti)和#4(fis)相当,这样就形成一个七声音阶。

《淮南子·天文训》把变宫叫作和,变徵叫做缪。

后世变宫又叫作闰。

我国传统音乐没有和4(fa)相当的音,变徵大致和#4(fis)近似。

律管古书上常常把五声或五音和六律并举。

可见律和音是两个不同的概念。

律,本来指用来定音的竹管。

后世律管改为铜制。

又,古人也用钟、弦定音,故有所谓管律、钟律和弦律。

十二律各有固定的音高和特定的名称,十二律分为阴阳两类:奇数六律为阳律,叫做六律;偶数六律为阴律,叫作六吕。

合称为律吕。

马王堆出图的十二律管律管的长度是固定的。

长管发音低,短管发音高。

十二律相生的三分损益法,十二个律管的长度有一定的比例,这意味着十二个标准音的音高有一定的比例。

古人通常以宫作为音阶的第一级音。

其实商角徵羽也都可以作为第一级音。

音阶的第一级音不同,意味着调式的不同:以宫为音阶起点的是宫调式,意思是以宫作为乐曲旋律中最重要的居于核心地位的主音;以徵为音阶起点的是徵调式,意思是以徵作为乐曲旋律中最重要的居于核心地位的主音;其余由此类推。

这样,五声音阶就可以有五种主音不同的调式。

《史记· 刺客列传》载:“高渐离击筑,荆轲和而歌,为变徵之声,士皆垂泪涕泣。

又前而为歌曰:'风萧萧兮易水寒,壮士一去兮不复还。

’复为羽声忼(kāng)慨,士皆瞋目,发尽上指冠。

”这里所说的变徵之声就是变徵调式,羽声就是羽调式。

宫商角徵羽等音只有相对音高,没有绝对音高。

在实际音乐中,它们的音高要用律来确定。

中国古典音乐中五音对人体五脏的作用

中国古典音乐中五音对人体五脏的作用

中国古典音乐中五音对人体五脏的作用一、木音(角声)木音为古箫、竹笛等乐──入肝胆之经,主理肝臓、胆囊的健康。

古箫竹笛的原始之声,抒展、深远、悠扬,飘逸若仙,高而不亢、低而不臃,连绵不断,显示古木带来春天。

木音代表东方苍龙的音意,被称为祛灾避凶的吉祥物。

它象征着强大健康向上。

在古箫的原始旋律阴阳起伏之声乐中,似乎在召唤东方巨龙从大地上而缓缓的腾空而起,它应着角声朝着太阳,奔向天空……。

以木所制做的乐器,如:木鱼、古箫、竹笛的声波能量可以进入肝、胆之经,疏肝沥胆,保肝养目。

根据《黄帝内经》医典理论:木音为角,对应人体的肝、胆,清凉祛火。

所以木音可以疏理肝火胆热的淤疾,平和血压、清血质,夜间休憩时有助于安魂入神,对于容易疑神疑鬼、精神不安的人也有很好的理疗效果;其它如夜晚受到惊吓、盗汗,心中忧郁等,也相当有益。

多听木音,可以移转性情、增强精神、安定魂魄、消除失眠,让心身合一,重新找到原始平和的人性。

二、火音(徵声)火音为古琴小提琴等丝弦乐,入心经与小肠经,主理小肠和心脏的健康。

丝弦类的古琴之声属于火音。

古琴奏鸣了远古的回音,有轰然绵延的背景。

音乐突出古琴的清朗感,悠扬舒缓,并逐步加快节奏。

接着,出现打击乐清脆的叮咚声,展现出长河落日的远景。

一阵过雁的翎声由远而近,由近而远,风生水起,云蒸霞蔚,表现出中国远古文化长河中优美的回音和片断,令人发幽古之情。

火是万物的动力,代表心脏,有热量,丝弦的声音可拨动人的心弦。

中医宝典《黄帝内经》讲:火音通心经,疏导小肠经,心藏神—心主神明,丝音调理神志,疏导血脉,平稳血压,疏通小肠,祛除毒伤。

聆听,火音可以调节心、小肠,处在沈稳和谐的生理状态之中。

三、土音(宫声)土音为古埙、笙竽、葫芦笙等乐,入脾经与胃经,主理脾胃的健康。

中国《东巴经》记载人类在远古形成,提及:先有佳音,后有佳气。

《土音》的古埙从遥远的夜空中而来,丝音小提琴声,丝为火,火为灵,火生土,方位在南,随丝音进入宁静混沌的宇宙空间。

详解中国古典音乐中的五音和七音

详解中国古典音乐中的五音和七音

详解中国古典音乐中的五音和七音什么是中国古代音乐艺术中的五音、七音?音乐中的任何旋律(曲调),都是由不同音高的乐音组成的。

一个曲调有几个音,将这些音由低到高依次排列,便是音阶。

中国传统音乐的音阶,可分为五声音阶和七声音阶两大类,史书上称为五音、七音或五声、七声。

若将汉族的各种音乐按地域分为南北两大类,南方的音乐多为五声音阶组成,北方的音乐多为七声音阶组成。

昆腔中的南曲、北曲,最明显的区别,前者是五声音阶,后者是七声音阶。

音乐作品的优劣,并不取决于是什么音阶。

自古以来,五声、七声并存,它们无高下之分,雅俗之别。

最早记载五音的典籍,是《管子·地员篇》(此书成书时期无定论,或战国或秦汉说法不一)。

其中有一段论述了我国最早的乐律计算法——“三分损益”,从宫音开始,依次求出了徵、商、羽、角五音及其相互的音程关系。

由低至高排列,宫、商、角、徵(zhi3)、羽,等于简谱的1(Do)、2(Re)、3(Mi)、5(Sol),6(La),这就是五声音阶的阶名。

任何一音均可成为一个曲调的起首音和终结音,因此,便形成了五种不同的五声音阶。

(一)1、2、3、5、6、1!,(二)2、3、5、6、1!、2!(三)3、5、6、1!、2!、3!,(四)!5、!6、l、2、、5,(五)!6、1、2、3、5、6。

分别由这些音阶构成的调式,称为宫调式、商调式、角调式、徵调式、羽调式。

流传极广的民歌《孟姜女》便是由五声音阶徵调式组成的。

为了说明七声音阶,必须先讲十二律。

传为春秋左丘明著的《国语·周语》,记述了周景王(前544一前520在位)问乐官伶州鸠十二律是什么,答为黄钟、大吕、太簇、夹钟、姑洗、仲吕、蕤宾、林钟、夷则、南吕、无射(yi4)、应钟。

一律即一个半音。

单数律称为律,双数律称为吕,故有“六律”、“六吕”之谓。

律吕名相当于现代国际通用的音名(C#CD#DE……)。

十二律的绝对音高,各个朝代不同。

以黄钟为准,周代为F,汉代为G,隋代为E,唐雅乐为#C,宋初为#F,清康熙为B(见杨荫浏《中国音乐史纲》)黄钟音高一变,其它各律皆变。

Chinese classical music is an integral part of the rich tapestry of Chinese culture, with a history that spans thousands of years. It is characterized by its unique scales, instruments, and compositions that reflect the essence of traditional Chinese philosophy and aesthetics.One of the most distinctive features of Chinese classical music is its use of pentatonic scales, which consist of five notes per octave. This scale creates a unique sound that is both soothing and evocative, often associated with the natural world and the human emotions.The instruments used in Chinese classical music are as diverse as the music itself. Some of the most common instruments include the guqin, a sevenstringed zither known for its ethereal and contemplative sound the pipa, a fourstringed lute with a bright and expressive tone and the erhu, a twostringed fiddle that produces a haunting and emotional melody.Chinese classical music compositions often tell stories or evoke images of landscapes, legends, and historical events. For example, the famous piece High Mountain and Running River is said to depict the majestic scenery of mountains and flowing rivers, while The Moon Represents My Heart is a romantic ballad that expresses deep affection and longing.In addition to its artistic value, Chinese classical music also has a strong connection to traditional Chinese medicine and philosophy. It is believed that the different notes and scales can have a healing effect on the body and mind, and many people practice qigong or meditation while listening to this music.Overall, Chinese classical music is a treasure trove of cultural heritage that continues to captivate and inspire people around the world. Its timeless melodies, rich history, and profound spiritual significance make it a truly unique and valuable art form.。

常说的五音是哪五音

常说的五音是哪五音

常说的五音是哪五音
传统民族调式,最常用的主音有五个,即宫、商、角、徵、羽,相当于现在首调唱名的“do、re、mi、sol、la”,称五声音阶。

一、中国古代的音乐以五声调式为主,五声调式所用到的音就是你提到的“宫、商、角、徵、羽”,你要简单理解的话,这五个音就是12356(do re mi sol la),也就是说4和7(fa和si)在中国古代是用得相对来说比较少的,不是说没有,另外,这五个音不放在具体的乐谱中是和八度没什么关系的。

就像do re mi sol la你不放在一首具体的音乐里,只是念出它们的名字,那它们也谈不上和八度有什么关系。

“五声”一词最早出现于《周礼·春官》:“皆文之以五声,宫商角徵羽。

”而“五音”最早见于《孟子·离娄上》:“不以六律,不能正五音。


“五音“一词最早出现于上面这个典故,可以说“五音不全”就是指无法准确唱出“宫、商、角、徵、羽”的高度。

二:五音不全不仅仅指的是某些人对于音乐感的缺乏,而且还指一些人在吐字发音方面存在的缺陷,尤其是在中国民族演艺艺术圈子里,经常会说某些人因为“五音不全”而不适合学习这门艺术,但是这个“五音不全”不是“宫商角徵羽”这五音的乐感缺失,而是“唇齿鼻喉舌”这五个发音部位的机能不健全。

比如有些人对于牛--刘这两个字的读音不能区分,把“刘”读成“牛”,把“男女”读成“褴褛”,就是舌音和鼻音机能缺失所致。

为什么中国古代音乐是宫商角徵羽五音,而西方是DoReMiFaSolLaSi七音?

为什么中国古代音乐是宫商角徵羽五音,而西方是DoReMiFaSolLaSi七音?

为什么中国古代音乐是宫商角徵羽五音,而西方是DoReMiFaSolLaSi七音?古中国两次三分损益法,得五音。

古希腊是五次五度相生律,出七音。

根本原因是因为文化导致的同一个音律的理解不同,古中国和古希腊几乎同时提出了同一个音律,不过称呼不同,古中国叫三分损益法,古希腊叫五度相生律。

两个音律的本质是一样,基于2:3的比例完成音符度数确定。

但是古中国对于音律的运用是基于两次损益运算,得出五音。

而古希腊五度相生律是基于五次独立运算,得出了七音。

这是五声和七音的根本区别原因。

而后又因为西方文艺复兴时,十二平均律于七音完美契合,如此将七音巩固,作为一个基于科学的音律推广至全世界。

中国对于东方文化对于音乐的理解是依附于高山流水的意境式审美,使用的音乐律法是:三分损益法。

而三分损益法是三次的结果是以宫商角徵羽五音作为基本音,这五音对应于西方音律之中Do(宫)、Re(商)、Mi(角)、So(徵)、La(羽)。

五声音阶的度数更符合和谐音律,同时具有更为稳定的延音意境效果。

此外也是因为我们的文化传统乐器普遍是高雅艺术,是贵族专属。

而老百姓接触到的乐器大多是以口口相传、师徒相传进行传播,无法形成迭代进步和系统性教育。

如此音乐受众较小,乐感氛围较低。

因为保存和音乐教育框架过少,直接导致了我们第一次提出十二平均律时,没有丝毫实质性的进步和乐器改善。

而西方十二平均律则是直接完成了所有乐器的推广和运用,并且主导了如今音乐理论。

西方文化的七音,最早是古希腊时期的五音相生律提出了七音,五音相生律本质上和古中国三分损益法一样,但是运用程度不同,五音相生律的迭代次数大于古中国的三分损益法。

随后直到进入文艺复兴时代,西方全面进入了十二平均律的时代,十二平均律本质上是对于三分损益法或者是五音相生律的一个根本提升,解决了数学上三分损益法除不尽的问题,同时根据人声耳朵对于听觉的一次波长改善,得出的基于人类听觉的自然音律。

导致七音推广的最大原因是西方十二平均律的流行。
