Originally, the word was only a product of the banquet and song, and its genre was not noble. Because of its elegant words and bewitching posture, it is regarded as a trail. But,With the changes in application occasions, lyrical content and listeners' preferences, the words have gradually formed the aesthetic characteristics of rural customs and market fireworks such as popular, slang, vulgar, and gaudy.
Intonation is an important form of ancient Chinese literature, and its emergence and development are closely related to the social environment, cultural background and literary tradition of the time. In the Song Dynasty, with the development of the city's economy and the growth of the citizen class, people's demand for culture and art became higher and higher, which provided a good social environment for the rise of the word tone.
At that time, the prosperity of the cities of the Song Dynasty brought a boom in commerce, and merchants exchanged their goods in the market as well as their culture and art. These cultures and arts not only enriched the lives of the burghers, but also provided inspiration and material for the creation of tones.
"History of the Song Dynasty" contains: "The long and short sentences are funny and scoundrel words originate from Zhihe. Jiayu was still not prosperous before. ”At the same time, the politics of the Song Dynasty were relatively stable, and the literati lived comfortably. They no longer have to run around for a living and have more time and energy to compose and research tones. Through continuous experimentation and innovation, they have developed the tone to a new level.
In the creation of intonation, the literati not only paid attention to the expression of emotions and thoughts, but also paid attention to the use of language and artistic innovation. They do this by employing a variety of rhetorical devices and artistic techniquesDevelop the tone of the word to be richer and more diverse. It also pays attention to the combination with the social environment and cultural background of the time, making the tone more contemporary and regional.
In addition, the literary tradition of the Song Dynasty also provided strong support for the development of tone. Before the Song Dynasty, literary forms such as poetry and prose had developed quite maturely. These literary forms not only provide reference and inspiration for the creation of tones, but also provide a broad space and possibilities for the development of tones.
The tonal names of the Song Dynasty reflect the rich connotation and unique style of the word. These words and tones are widely named, including traditional song names, poem titles, and word namesIt also includes newly created song names. The names of these songs are often closely related to the content, emotion, style, etc. of the words.
The names of the Song Dynasty are rich in cultural connotations. Some of the intonation names are taken from classic sentences or storylines in ancient poems, such as the "poppy beauty" in "Listening to the Rain" is taken from the story of ancient Yu Ji"Listening to the rain" expresses the lyricist's emotion about the passage of time. Other names are taken from historical events or cultural legends, such as the "farewell" in "Nian Nujiao: Farewell" expresses the lyricist's feelings and thoughts on the various states of life.
As the title of the word, the name of the Song Dynasty not only reflects the content and emotion of the word, but also contains rich imagery and multiple connotations. First of all, the imagery enhancement in the name of the word tone was a common technique used by the lyricists of the Song Dynasty. Through the depiction of nature, scenery, people and other elements, they combine emotions, thoughts and imagery to form a unique artistic effect. For example, the name "rain hitting the pear blossom deep closed door" not only depicts the beautiful scene of pear blossoms in the rain, but also expresses the loneliness and loneliness of the people inside the deep closed door, integrating emotions and imagery.
In addition, the name of the Song Dynasty also reflects the personality and unique style of the lyricist. Different lyricists often have different creative characteristics and stylesThese characteristics are also reflected in their intonation names. For example, Su Shi's tone names are often bold and passionate, while Li Qingzhao's tone names are graceful and delicate.
"Biji Manzhi" contains: "The ancients did not choose men and women to get their names for their good songs. ......Nowadays, people only pay attention to female voices, and they no longer ask if they can, and the lyrics written by the scholar are still charming, and the ancient meaning is exhausted. ”The multiple connotations of the Song Dynasty word tone names are a major feature of the lyricists' creation. The name of the word tone covers many aspects such as the person's philosophy of life, social concepts, and cultural background. For example, the name of the phrase "if life is only as first seen" expresses people's nostalgia for the good times and the impermanence of life, showing the rich life experience of the lyricist.
The Song Dynasty also reflects the customs and customs of the society at that time. Through the depiction of local scenery, the poets combine the characteristics of the times with the emotions of the wordsA unique artistic style has been formed. For example, the name of the phrase "drunk and looking at the sword" shows a corner of the wine culture of the Song Dynasty, as well as the social outlook of the military and the people at that time.
In the Song Dynasty, the new flower names were more refined, which reflected the Song people's attention to daily life and also showed the close relationship between the word style and daily life. Ever since Qu Yuan used vanilla beauties as a metaphor for the ideal personality, flowers have taken on a special symbolic meaning and aesthetic value in Chinese culture. In addition to directly depicting the form of flowers, many lyricists also express their aesthetic pursuits and cultural tastes through the names of flowers.
Due to the function of words in entertainment and performance, the naming of romance and wine feasts has always been relatively common in the Tang and Song dynasties. However, with the change of the times, the regional class has been renamedOther types of names, such as feminine and sectional names, are also increasing, and they contain richer socio-cultural information. These changes not only reflect the development and evolution of the word, but also reveal the changes in social culture.
The Song Dynasty was both elegant and popular, and was loved by people from all walks of life. In the Song Dynasty, many words were directly named after colloquial colloquialisms, which appeared simple and slangy. The folk in the market are the breeding ground for the tone of wordsThe source of new sound and the space for the spread of lyrics and songs. In the context of the development of the commodity economy and the growth of the citizen class, the folk tunes of Liu Yong, which have been inherited from the Dunhuang songs, and the vulgar words of Qin Guan, Cao Group and others, all show the more authentic and current existence of the word as a popular literature and art.
The reason why the name of the word has both the atmosphere of fireworks and the elegance of poetry is that it is not only a popular literary art, but also has the characteristics of literary creation. This characteristic makes the name of the word tone in the process of dissemination, can be accepted and loved by people from all walks of life. With the continuous refinement of the word style, the tone name also shows a trend of becoming elegant and vulgar.
Comparing the word cards and the Bunsen song cards in the Yuan song, it can be seen that the Bunsen song cards are usually more popular. This shows that there is a certain tension between the development of quyi and literary creation。This tension enables quyi to maintain its popularity while constantly pursuing a higher artistic realm.
"Tokyo Menghualu" contains: "The child with drooping hair, but Xi inspires; Ban Bai is old and does not know how to fight. ......The gold is dazzling, and Luo Qi is fragrant. The new voice laughed at Liu Mo Huaqu, and tuned the strings according to the orchestra in the teahouse restaurant. ”The homonyms and different names in the Song Dynasty and the refinement and new imitation of the names were an important feature of the Song Dynasty names. Homonyms refer to the fact that there are multiple different names for the same tone. This situation arises,On the one hand, it is because in the Song Dynasty, the creation and singing of words were gradually separated, and the names of words and tones were no longer directly associated with the score, but more reflected the literary color and aesthetic tendency; On the other hand, with the development and evolution of words, some of the original tonal names were gradually eliminated or given new meanings, resulting in homonyms and different names.
The refinement of the name refers to the refinement of the original popular word and name, so that it is more in line with the aesthetic taste of literati and doctors. For example,"Bodhisattva Man" was originally a relatively popular name, but in the Song Dynasty, because of the love and respect of some literati and doctors, it was gradually refined into more elegant names such as "Midnight Song" and "Bodhisattva Zi".
The new style is that the lyricists of the Song Dynasty created some new word names according to new creative needs or aesthetic tendencies. These new proposed tone names tend to be more innovative and artisticIt reflects the exploration and innovation of the Song Dynasty lyricists on the literary form of words. For example, "Nian Nujiao" and "Water Tune Song Head" are all new song names in the Song Dynasty.
The name of the word tone originates from the social culture of the historical period, reflecting the social scene and popular fashion of the time, and also reflects the aesthetic orientation and spiritual pursuit of the scholars. By studying the naming trends of new tones in different periods, we can understand the changes in society and the characteristics of the times. These naming trends can help us understand the evolution of history and the inheritance of culture, and further deepen our understanding of human civilization.
