Cultural relics | Talk about "innovation exhibition display, promote the use of cultural relics" from music archeology "

Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in a letter to the old experts to the National Museum of China: "The museum is an important place for protecting and inheriting human civilization. Deepen academic research, innovate exhibitions, promote the use of cultural relics, promote the exchange of civilization exchanges, protect, inherit well, and show the outstanding achievements of Chinese civilization, and make new contributions to the development of cultural and socialism and the construction of a socialist cultural power. " The author carefully studied General Secretary Xi ’s reply, and he got a lot. Below, I talk about my learning experience from the perspective of music and archeology.

Music archaeological experts use the original cultural relics of Chengcheng Liujiawa No. 1 Tomb Tomb.

Judging from the current musical archeological discovery, the unearthed musical music cultural relics include membrane ringing instruments such as pottery drums, drums, etc., bodied instruments such as bells, editing, etc. , Qin and so on. These many types and colorful unearthed instruments were the materialization form of music at that time. It was the most direct carrier of music culture at that time. Some unearthed instruments could even fill the gap between Chinese music history and even the history of the world.

For example, Jiahu Bone Flute currently unearthed more than 40, which is 9000 to 7,500. The sound measurement data and trial show that the pitch of Jiahu's bone flute is accurate and can play the five -sound steps and seven sound levels. "Liang Zhu" and other music. "China Encyclopedia" (third edition professional version) pointed out: "Even if Jiahu bone flute is highly developed today, its instrument performance is not inferior. The possible conjecture of culture ... Jiahu Bone Flute is a great miracle in the history of world culture, and it is the most outstanding representative in the history of prehistoric civilization in the world. "

Another example is the compilation of No. 1 Tomb of Liujiawa, Chengcheng, Shaanxi, with a total of 10 pieces. In "Exploration and Discovery" "Liujiawa Archaeological Notes (5)", we can appreciate the song "On the Golden Mountain in Beijing", which was entered by the original ensemble of the editor and the original cultural relics unearthed from the Tomb of Liujiawa, Chengcheng, to know Its height standards are completely in line with today's twelve average music aesthetics, which is amazing!

Another example is Zeng Houyi, which is known as the "eighth miracle of the world", and its era was in the early days of the Warring States Period. This set of clocks can not only play the five -sound steps and seven -sound steps, but also can also play the semi -level on the piano today. In August 1978, the archeological team of Zeng Houyi tomb and musicians used Zeng Houyi to try the original "Oriental Red", "The Suns Rising on the Prairie", "Liuyang River", "Li Sao", "Chu Shang", "Along the Road", "All the way" Chinese and foreign famous songs such as Ping An "Ode to Joy", "Sakura" and "International Song". E. G. McCren, a professor of physics at the University of New York, highly praised Zeng Houyi as: "Zeng Houzhong and its arrangement methods, naming systems, and tones all show the maturity of the 'structure' ... Today the Chinese know them that they have known them. In the 5th century BC, the ancestors had reached an amazing height in music, and what our world taught us what we believe could not be compared with this achievement. "

I would like to ask, for such a major music archeological discovery of the people who shocked the people and the world, and refreshed the world of music civilization in China and the world of music civilization, how much does the people of my country know? How much does these major Chinese music archeological discoveries in the world know how much? According to the author, even the students of the domestic music college or music department know very little about these important music archeological discoveries, let alone ordinary people.

So, how to let the public know these important music archeological discoveries? How to make the public truly understand the major academic value contained in these music archeological discoveries? General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions of "Innovation Exhibition and Promoting Cultural Relics" instructions provided us with a golden key to open this crux.

At present, for the exhibition of musical music cultural relics, the exhibition method of the museum is first presented with cultural relics itself, and then supplemented by graphic materials such as text, pictures, sound measurement data, sound diagrams. exhibit. However, these display methods are still only around the musical cultural relics of the musical music, and ignoring these music relics are the functional attributes of musical instruments used to play music. Therefore, in the exhibition of musical music cultural relics, innovation points should be placed on the display of unearthed instrument sounds. It is especially precious that some musical instruments are well -preserved, and can also play ancient and modern Chinese and foreign music, such as Wuyang Jiahu Bone Flute, Women's Tomb Tao Tao, Xiangfen Tao Temple North Clock, Chengcheng Liujiawa Clock and Editor, Xinyang Chu Tomb, Xinyang Chu Tomb The bell, Zeng Houyi bell, Haiyunhou tomb bell, Zhangqi Luozhuang chip bell and editor. Under the premise of complying with the National Cultural Relics Protection Law and ensuring the safety of cultural relics, it is recommended to comprehensively promote the "activation and utilization" of musical music and cultural relics. Mencius said: "The kindness is not as good as the voices of benevolence." Music is the art of sound. It is the best language and means of "advancing civilization communication and mutual learning" across the country and race. It is particularly needed to point out that those unearthed bells and editorial practical instruments were used by the aristocracy at that time at the ceremony and music activities. By a thousand or thousands of years ago, the original sound of Zhong Xun and Mingming who crossed time and space. In the public places where people's flow of people and shoulders, let the people of the general public appreciate those ancient ritual and music weapons, while listening to the original sound music of Zhong Yan and Mingming who pass through time and space, and truly understand the bright ancient music culture of our country. Essence As a result, the people will sincerely admire the brilliantness and glory of ancient music culture in the world in the world, and thus establish cultural self -confidence from the heart. Needless to say, in terms of the museum's instrument and music cultural relics exhibition, the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's replacement of "innovation exhibition and promoting the use of cultural relics" will be a great new world. "Outstanding achievements of Chinese civilization", made unique and new contributions.
