The Research Of Musical Culture Of The Jin Dynasty

The Jin Dynasty established by the Jurchen tribe,successively eliminated the Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty,and then confronted the Southern Song Dynasty,forming a situation of opposition between the North and the South.After the Jin Dynasty entered the Central Plains,it was possible to start the absorption and integration of various aspects of the Central Plains culture from politics,economy,and culture,as did the development of music culture.During the Song and Jin dynasties,Chinese feudal society entered a new stage of development,and ancient Chinese music culture was also in a transitional period.In addition to court music,opera music based on popular music gradually developed and grown.This was precisely the development of music culture in the Jin Dynasty.The embodiment of a historical period.The music of the Jin Dynasty absorbed many elements of Liao and Song music,especially after the Jing Kang Calamity and the Northern Song Dynasty,Jin collected all the court music of the Northern Song Dynasty,including ritual and music regulations,ceremonial facilities,music score books,and actors and musicians.Since then,the ritual and music culture of the Tang and Song Dynasties was introduced into the Jin Dynasty,and the music and instrument system of the Central Plains were used in the Jin Dynasty palace and occupied a very important position.Later,it continued to develop until the end of the Jin Dynasty and Wanyan Chenglin period;at the same time,Due to the profound influence of the music of the Liao Dynasty before,and its palace music showed the elements of the Liao Dynasty,the palace music of the Jin Dynasty was based on the absorption of the palace music of the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty,and it had new development and innovation.In order to show its orthodox status,the Jin Dynasty also followed the Central Plains dynasty’s system of ritual and music.By the Jin Zhangzong period,a relatively complete ritual and music cultural system including the Court Music,San Yue,Wind and Percussion Music and Old Music of the Jin Dynasty was formed.In terms of performance methods and music system,they are also in line with the Central Plains dynasty.As a continuation of the traditional music culture of this nation,the creation of the Old Music of the Jin Dynasty is the characteristic embodiment of the palace music which is different from other national cultures,and has obvious identity identification.As a nation capable of singing and dancing,the Jin Dynasty Jurchens like music and dance.The traditional music and musical instruments of the nation in the early days of Jin’s founding had the characteristics of easiness,simplicity and nature,with a single form,and were closely related to daily life.During hunting and labor,when shaman dances and sacrifices to gods,singing and dancing are all accompanied.The only songs in the early Jin Dynasty were Partridge Song,and the musical instruments included drums and flutes.The nursery rhymes and slang popular in the market were short,concise and catchy.The content was mostly to expose social reality,oppose cruel wars,and express dissatisfaction in the heart.The main character is also a major feature of Jurchen folk culture;the love folk songs composed and sung by themselves are impromptu songs,and they are sung by themselves in case of accidents to express the true feelings of the singers.Women’s age before marriage is a regular song.On the way,borrow a song to court.These distinctive Jin Dynasty traditional music,dances and ballads are rooted in the culture of the Jurchen tribe and the confluence of multiple ethnic groups.During the confrontation between the Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty,in addition to the development of their own music culture,the exchanges of music culture with each other became more frequent.With the development of the commodity economy,the art forms such as wazi and goulan in BianJing city,baixi and zaju in market buildings are quite popular,which creates extremely favorable conditions for the development of rap music and opera music of the Jurchen ethnic group.The Jin Dynasty rap music represented by zhugongdiao and lianxiangci,as well as the opera music based on Jin yuanben(Jin zaju),are also the dazzling and colorful manifestations of the Jin Dynasty music culture.The continuous development of folk rap music and opera music is also the result of Song and Jin learning from each other,overcoming own weakness by acquiring other’s strong points and integrating development.The development of music culture in the Jin Dynasty enriched the form and structure of Chinese Opera Music,and exerted a far-reaching influence on the progress of zaju in the Yuan Dynasty and even in the later period of ancient music culture.The development of music culture in the Jin Dynasty has a close relationship with Liao and Song music.In the process of mutual influence,exchange and development,it also maintains the unique characteristics.Whether it’s court music,traditional music,dance and folk songs,or opera music based on yuanben,they all provided valuable artistic soil for the rapid growth of music culture in the Yuan Dynasty and contributed to the Chinese Opera Music represented by Yuan zaju.The first peak period of development created conditions for the maturity of the opera art.
