从先秦时期到清末我国传统文化就以诗词歌赋为主流,汉人成为诗词歌赋的主要创作者。然而在音乐方面汉人的创作力相对较弱而我国其他的少数民族却形成了丰富多样的音乐和舞蹈的艺术形态。本文将从中国民族地域分布特点和古代选官制度以及我国古代封建专制主义中央集权制度来阐述“汉人不擅音乐”的背后的原因。 From the pre-Qin period to the late Qing Dynasty, traditional Chinese culture took the poetry song as the mainstream, and the Han Chinese became the main creator of the poetry song. However, the creative power of the Han is relatively weak in music while the other minorities in our country have formed a rich and varied art form of music and dance. This article will explain the reasons behind the “Han people do not like music” based on the distribution characteristics of Chinese nationality and the ancient system of electioners and the system of centralized power in ancient feudal autocratic China.
