Yayue's Japanese Yayue

Japanese gagaku (ががく) was originally introduced from China and Korea. In the first year of Dabao in Japan (70 1), Yale Liao was established as a base for training Yale talents. Elegant music means "elegant music is suitable for dancing" and "elegant music" in Chinese. Like North Korea, it was compiled according to the Confucian thought of rites and music, which was the joy of China's offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple. However, Japanese gagaku is different from Chinese gagaku.

During the reign of Emperor Akihito, the Japanese reorganized gagaku into two parts: left (Tang Le, Linyi and some music imported from India) and right (Korea and other music imported from North Korea). Musicians who play elegant music are mostly royal attendants. Musical Instruments: There were countless musical instruments that played elegant music in ancient times, but with the passage of time, the number of musical instruments gradually simplified. Generally, there are dozens of musical instruments such as sheng, lyre, magic flute, harmonica, water drum, three drums and pipa. Xiao, Wuxian, shakuhachi, were eliminated.

Tone: After Yarra came to Japan, the tone has been adjusted according to Japanese preferences. "Tales of Genji Ruocai" mentioned that "large-scale Korean music and Tang Le are not as kind and lovely as the familiar oriental amusement", which shows that people thought the voice of Yayue was too ostentatious and exaggerated at that time. Therefore, some bass parts and instruments in gagaku have been deleted. Make the music sound thin and high.

Modern music with elegant musical instruments: especially modern classical music; Sheng is the most commonly used instrument in elegant music.

Modern music with the concept of elegant music: works created with the concept of musical structure of western musical instruments and elegant music.

* Jazz and pop music: using the instrumental and timbre characteristics of elegant music, composing and playing in the form of pop music, and introducing brand-new elegant music to the public through the media, such as the infant performer Hideki Togi. In addition, some jazz performances will be played with instrumental music. The orchestral performance of Yayue is considered to be the earliest symphony orchestra form in the world, which is composed of dance and music. It completely maintains the traditional form and has been passed down to this day. It is a rare traditional performing art in the world. Although Japanese gagaku introduced foreign music, China gagaku has long since disappeared, and North Korea gagaku has been deformed for a long time. On the contrary, only Japan has preserved Japanese elegant music in palaces and shrines, which can be said to be very rare. The enduring reason is inseparable from the attention and advocacy of the rulers of past dynasties and the tradition of the Japanese nation.
