在以前,如果有人问:“上海民间音乐怎样?”那他得到的答复一定会是:“没什么。”“没什么”是虚的,因为一个地方无论如何贫瘠落后或者繁荣强盛,都不会没有音乐。在我们地球上,音乐正象语言一样,哪里有人,哪里就有音乐。然而要说上海的音乐,好象确实也没什么。民歌,全国各地的民歌搜集起来可谓浩如烟海,但其中有多少是上海民歌?尤其大家乐于传唱的又有多少是上海民歌?民间器乐曲,知道有大名鼎鼎的“江南丝竹八大曲”。这在我们介绍中国音乐的教本中好象也有,这该是“载入史册” In the past, if someone asks, “What about folk music in Shanghai?” The reply he would have received would have been: “Nothing.” “Nothing” is false because no place is left without music in any barrenness or prosperity . On our planet, music is just like language, where there is music and where there is music. However, to say the music in Shanghai, it seems really nothing. Folk songs, folk songs all over the country can be described as vastly collected, but how many of them are Shanghai folk songs? In particular, we are happy to sing and how many are folk songs folk songs, know the famous “Jiangnan Soba eight.” This seems to introduce Chinese music in our books as well, which should be “recorded in history”
