中國鑼的歷史及其形制之研究

中國由於地大物博，歷史悠遠，因此其樂器種類可謂包羅萬象，且從古至今打擊樂器始終於各地人們的生活中盛行不衰。這些眾多不同類別的樂器中，鑼類樂器在中國人的生活裡普及之程度，由民間經常以「鑼鼓」這個名稱用來泛指所有打擊樂器之事實即可見一般。鑼，在中、西樂器分類體系中分屬於金類與體鳴類。現今一般學者多認為中國及東南亞是世界上較早使用鑼的區域，甚至有些西方學者更明確地認為，鑼發源於六世紀初的中國西域，但至今學界對鑼的起源仍無確切的定論與共識。本文以中國鑼的歷史及其形制為主要研究對象，其內容就歷史部份包括：鑼名稱定義、歷史之溯源及其發展等；就形制部份包括：鑼器形制、製作及其演奏媒介工具等項目，期望能對樂界與學界提供更多相關的研究資料及貢獻。

”Luo” belongs to metal and idiophone category in both Eastern and Western instrumental classification system. Nowadays, scholars commonly consider that China and Southeast Asia are the regions where Luo made its early appearance. Some Western scholars strongly believe that the place of origin of Luo was in the west of China back to the early 6th century. However, Luo's origin is still not accurately confirmed and mutually recognized in academic circles.As China is a gigantic country with a rich history, the percussion instruments have been found in its people's daily life from ancient until present times. Therefore, its types are various and extremely different. Among the other percussion instruments, the types of Luos are the most common and performed in the daily life in China. The proof is that the Chinese usually use ”Luo gu” to refer to all the percussion instruments in general.This article considers the history of the Chinese Luo and its forms as the leading object of study.The content of historical part includes an explication of the definitions of terms, a historical tracing and development and so on. The part concerning the instrument shapes concerns the shapes of Luo instruments, the manufacture and mediator tools. We hope this study will provide a more related research material and making further contributions in the field of education and academic circles.
