Research On Musical Aesthetics And Contemporary Of Bai Juyi

The background of Bai Juyi musical aesthetic thought was the rise of Confucianism in the Middle Tang Dynasty.At this time,Buddhism prevailed and had a great impact on Confucianism.The thinkers represented by Hanyu and Li ao criticized Buddhism from the standpoint of maintaining orthodoxy.Bai Juyi concept of etiquette and music is a part of this trend.Influenced by Yue Ji,Bai Juyi attached great importance to the political value of music,further linked Qing and Zheng on the basis of Yue Ji,and discussed the political function of music based on Qing,which is a new expansion of the concept of Yue Ji.At the same time,Bai Juyi also discussed the relationship between music and morality.Although his discussion on this issue did not go beyond the scope of Yue Ji,it has an undeniable value for the continuation and inheritance of the traditional Confucian blood.After being demoted in 8 1 5 AD,Bai Juyi attitude towards music has changed fundamentally,from advocating elegant music and criticizing Zheng Sheng in the early stage to recognizing secular music represented by Pipa and Zheng Music.It is in the discussion of secular music that Bai Juyi has further expanded the element of Qing in music.Unlike the early discussion of Qing based on the framework of Confucianism,Bai Juyi at this time paid more attention to the sad emotion music expressing individual life feelings,which led the emotion of music to the comfort of individual soul,highlighting the individual value of music.Bai Juyi view of the emotional issues in music made him jump out of the ethical framework of the Confucian music emotion,and established a connection with Jikang theory of natural human feelings.Bai Juyi music aesthetics also became a intersection of his previous generation thoughts.The thoughts of Buddhism and Taoism have always played a very important role in Bai Juyi ideas.In his later years,the ideas of Buddhism and Taoism have become the leading role of Bai Juyi ideas and have had an important impact on his aesthetic ideas of music,which is mainly reflected in Bai Juyi respect for Guqin music.Through in-depth analysis of Guqin music,Bai Juyi put forward the concept of tasteless voice and discussed it from the level of indifference.On this basis,Bai Juyi further linked Guqin music with the establishment of transcending realm,which is the development of Taoist music aesthetic concept,and Bai Juyi finally established his music aesthetic concept system.Bai Juyi mainly constructs his music aesthetics concept around the value of music,which is also the dominant feature of Chinese traditional music aesthetics.The construction of music aesthetics discipline in the new era should absorb this spirit and expand along the value dimension.The music aesthetics discipline will open up new development space.At the same time,Bai Juyi attention to popular music and his respect for Guqin music have great enlightenment significance for the healthy development of music culture in the new era and the promotion of excellent traditional culture.In addition,Bai Juyi music aesthetics thought also has great inspiration for music performance and music appreciation,and its practical value is also extremely rich.
