宋代小唱摭谈

关于宋代小唱,以往的研究者有两种看法:一是小唱专指对宋代大曲的摘唱,是较为高雅的艺术形式;二是小唱主要是对宋词的演唱,在当时属于通俗歌曲的表演。而对宋代小唱演员的演唱记录及小唱的演唱特点进行考察,可以发现小唱主要是对宋词的演唱。

Reflections on xiaocha of the Song dynasty

With reference to xiaocha of the Song dynasty, there existed two interpretations by researchers in the past. The first is that it refers exclusively to extracted singing of daqu of the Song dynasty, thus making it a rather refined form of art; the second means that it is largely a singing of ci of the Song dynasty, then a performance of popular music. The current paper, by examining the singing records and singing characteristics of singers of xiaocha of the time, contends that xiaocha constitutes a singing of ci of the Song dynasty in the main.
