关于非洲琵琶的了解,在我国学术界是非常缺乏的。长期以来,我们在研究琵琶的历史中,往往是只根据汉文史料来推论,而古人也并不了解琵琶的历史真面目,也会出现以讹传讹的现象。对于琵琶这种外来乐器,仅依靠中文文献来研究琵琶的历史,是非常片面的,所以我们应该了解西亚和非洲琵琶的情况。 The understanding of African pipa is very scarce in our academic circles. For a long time, we often deduced from the history of the Chinese pipa in the study of the history of the pipa. However, the ancients did not understand the true history of the pipa and the phenomenon of repeated mistakes. For a foreign instrument such as a pipa, the study of the history of the pipa solely based on Chinese literature is very one-sided, so we should understand the situation of the pipa in West Asia and Africa.
