生活在先秦时代的楚人,以其浪漫的气质和卓越的才华,创造了独步一时的音乐文化,在中国古代音乐史上享有崇高的地位。 西周时代,楚人很可能已有了音乐,只是除了少数传世的西周楚国钟镈外,迄今尚未获得文献记载和考古发现的实证。根据现已掌握的资料和线索,我们对楚国音乐文化的考察只能始于春秋时代。 The Chu people, who lived in the pre-Qin era, created a unique music culture with their romantic temperament and outstanding talent, enjoying a high status in the history of ancient Chinese music. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Chu people probably had their own music, except for a handful of the relics of the late Chou of the Western Zhou Dynasty. So far, no evidence of documentary and archaeological discoveries has been obtained. According to the available information and clues, our study of music culture in the Chu Kingdom can only begin in the Spring and Autumn Period.
