| As an anthology of songs in Chongzhen period at the end of Ming Dynasty,Yichun Jinqu retains the text of opera and sanqu,transmits the concept of opera and sanqu,enhances the influence of opera and sanqu,and consolidates the status of opera and sanqu,which has certain literary,documentary and cultural value.Up to now,thematic studies on Yichun Jinqu are relatively rare.Taking Yichun Jinqu as the research object,this paper discusses the composing style,subject content,artistic style and editing intention of the songqu,and reflects the evolution of the composing concept and cultural fashion through the selected text,which has certain significance in opera history and literature history.In the late Ming Dynasty,the trend of good plays,making plays and watching plays became increasingly prevalent.The loose policy of printing and engraving,numerous folk bookshops and advanced printing and engraving technology provided favorable conditions for the publication of Yicun Jinqu.The composer carefully selected sanqu and opera qu of the past dynasties and Ming Dynasty,and published Yi Chun Jin Qu through the Zheng Xiao Pavilion in Hangzhou.Anthology and drama are eclectic and clearly separated,showing the gradually clear sense of body discrimination in the late Ming Dynasty.Influenced by the selection preference of the composer and the competition of Yiyang and Kunshan tunes,Yichun Jinqu focuses on the Kunshan tunes and does not dethrone the Yiyang tunes.In addition to the included text,the selected edition also contains 15 single-sided full and exquisitely crafted Hui-style illustrations,which are arranged in a way that attracts readers to read.From the content of the collection,most of the prose songs of "Yichun Jinqu" are mainly about lovesickness,resentment and courtesan love.In the selection of opera songs,most of the works depict the romantic feelings of men and women.Both sanqu and opera songs are full of romantic flavor and romantic sentiment,which break through the shackles of traditional ethics and contains a strong idea of "affection".This also reflects the "main emotion" view held by the elector,affirming the natural desire of human beings.These songs included in "Yi Chun Jin Qu" are also used to arrange songs to enrich the singing and enhance the expression effect.At the same time,they meet the aesthetic and emotional needs of the playwright and the audience through the way of integrating the north and the south,and can expand the musical expression of the north and the South Qu.As far as language is concerned,the frequent use of repetition can render feelings repeatedly.In terms of value,Yichun Jinqu contains 13 rare plays and is of high bibliographic value.It is helpful to the vertical and horizontal transmission of opera and sanqu,and has the communication value.To clarify "comments" with "selection" and to make comments with common words,it manifests the author’s preference for popular citizen literature and the tendency of praising works of emotion and nature as well as his theoretical criticism.To be sure,an overall study of Yichun Jinqu,exploring the reasons for its formation,writing style,content features and compilation thoughts and other aspects,can not only glimpse the situation of the musical circle at that time,explore the important value of the musical text,but also enrich the research dimension of the ancient Chinese musical text from the level of case study. |
