商周樂器的音樂考古學研究: 從出土樂器論商周音樂文化之多元結構及社會功能. / Archaeomusicological study of the cultural multi-structure and social function of excavated musical instruments from China's Shang and Western Zhou periods / 從出土樂器論商周音樂文化之多元結構及社會功能 / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection / Shang Zhou yue qi de yin yue kao gu xue yan jiu: cong chu tu yue qi lun Shang Zhou yin yue wen hua zhi duo yuan jie gou ji she hui gong neng. / Cong chu tu yue qi lun Shang Zhou yin yue wen hua zhi duo yuan jie gou ji she hui gong nengJanuary 2005 (has links)
Based on the geographical distribution of the unearthed musical instruments and their archaeo-cultural considerations, I first examine musical cultures of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the seven-regions of Central Plain, Northwest, North, East, Southwest, South, and Southeast, each of which showed affinity to some particular political unit (state), ethnicity and social organization of the archaeological culture. Through regional and cross-regional analysis of the shape, composite and musical features of the instruments and their contemporary cultural significance, I argue that the Shang and Zhou musical cultures were primarily originated and developed in multiple cultural contexts along the Yellow River and Yangtse River areas. Among the seven regions, the Central Plain region occupied a dominant position. The other regions of musical culture developed independently but maintained close cultural interaction with the Central Plain region. / Lastly, I discuss the ritual-music function of the instruments in the formation of ritual-music system, the condition of the owners and players of the instruments, and the compositive set of ritual bronze vessels and instruments. I conclude that the social function of musical instruments in the Shang and Zhou dynasties had actually gone beyond music performance itself. They had functions of performing music, executing sacrifice, and symbolizing the socio-political status and ranks of individuals. / This dissertation is an archaeo-musicological study on unearthed musical instruments of the Shang (1600 B.C.--1046 B.C.) and Western Zhou (1046 B.C.--771 B.C.) dynasties in China. Using the unearthed musical instruments in conjunction with other related archaeological findings and ancient Chinese documents, I discuss issues relating to the multi-structure and social function of these instruments within their socio-historical contexts. / Using the textual information from oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, and Chinese classical texts, I explore the functions of the unearthed musical instruments in terms of sacrificial activities and the Liyue (ritual-music) system. I identify four types of excavation (dwellings, sacrificial pits, hoards, and tombs) to elucidate the relationship between sacrificial activities and musical instruments. I then discuss the metaphor of the instruments' decorations and the use of instruments in the ritual activities such as praying for rain and ancestral cult. / 方建軍. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2005. / 參考文獻(p. 277-316). / Adviser: Tsao Poon Yee. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-07, Section: A, page: 2380. / Electronic reproduction.

Al laox, is a kind of polyphonic folk song which are sung and widely practiced by parts of Dong people in southern China. As an indispensable component of the non-literary peasant society of Dong ethnic culture, Al laox music tradition has been systematically passed down, with full participation and ritualized performance in Dong people's daily life. / As a case study of "local music tradition", this research will contribute to further research topics, such as the common characteristic of Dong traditional music, sociological meaning of polyphonic folk song and contemporary transformation of traditional music etc. / This dissertation aims to investigate the interaction between "Al laox music tradition and community identity of Dong People". Based on extensive fieldwork and textual analysis, this thesis discusses, on one hand, how Dong people construct their identity with Al laox music tradition, on the other hand, it examines what exactly the Al laox music tradition is and what it means to native people. Thus, this bidirectional concerns not only respond to the general ethnomusicological issue of "how culture shapes music", but also gives an interpretation of "how music function culture". / This dissertation has two methodological concerns: (1) a micro-ethnographical study of village social structure in relation to the Al laox music tradition, and (2) a survey of Al laox as a ritualized communal singing ritual. The former focuses on a typical Dong community as a locus to examine the operation of Gaolao music tradition, whereas the latter illustrates how Dong people construct distinct stratified identities through singing especially in three coorelative rituals. Specifically, this research takes Xiao Huang village in Congjiang county, Guizhou province and the relavant villages around as object and structures around three significant ritualized singing pattern, gabx gongx, xeegnl doul and weex yeek. / 楊曉. / Adviser: Tsao Poon Yee. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-08, Section: A, page: 2944. / Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 392-418). / Electronic reproduction.
