摘要
今本许慎《说文解字》将“乐”解释为“象鼓鞞木虡”的说法有误,实质上原当为“象鼓鞞之形”。“象鼓鞞木虡”仅指“悬鼓”,而“象鼓鞞之形”则泛指“鼓”。二者有本质不同。另罗振玉将■解释为“乐”的说法亦有误,■当为“栎”的本字而非“乐”字,并非指丝弦乐器。笔者考证二说后,认为“乐”之本义确如许慎所说为“鼓”,但并非确指“悬鼓”,而是泛指“鼓”。用“鼓”造乐,与中国先民要以音乐沟通天人、调和万物有关。
In"Shuo Wen Jie Zi",Xu Shen interpreted the meaning of the word"Yue"(music)as"like a drum and a wooden pillar hanging from bells and drums".In essence,the meaning of the word"Yue"(music)was regarded as"a shape like a drum".In addition,what Luo Zhenyu believed that the word"Yue"(music)in the oracle bone inscriptions was actually not the real word"Yue"(music),nor did it refer to a stringed instrument as he said,but the original word of the word"li"(oak).After verifying the two theories,the author believes that Xu Shen's view was closer to the original meaning of"Yue"(music),but the word"Yue"does not mean"a wooden pillar like a drum and a bell hanging drum",but generally refers to"a shape like a drum".The use of"a drum"to create the word"Yue"(music)is related to the phenomenon that Chinese ancestors used music to communicate between heaven and man,and to harmonize everything.
