聆聽之旅

十二個簡短的步驟，帶你走進日本與中國的傳統音樂。每一步都有幾段按順序聆聽的錄音、一個聆聽重點，以及幾個值得認識的詞語。閱讀約需十分鐘，另加聆聽的時間。

旅程從最古老的聲音和文人之琴——古琴開始，再走向宮廷、寺廟、舞台與鄉村。可以依序走，也可以從任何一步開始。正文目前為英文，撰寫中的步驟會另行標示。

第1步The oldest sounds
Flutes of crane bone nine thousand years old, a set of 65 bronze bells that each sing two notes, and the five-tone scale behind much of the music that followed.
第2步The qin and the scholar
The seven-string qin, the instrument of the Chinese scholar, played for oneself or one friend. Its three kinds of sound, and the story of the friend who knew the music.
第3步Reading old scores: dapu
Old qin scores say which string and which finger, but not how long each note lasts. Every revival of an old piece is someone's reconstruction, called dapu.
