楚戈,
這個我從來沒有注意到的名字,
在他過世後的四年才開始瞭解.
源於一篇朋友轉贈之基隆市立文化中心,
1989年出版的[大雅清音]古琴古樂展專輯中一篇由楚戈先生寫的好文

Name: Chu Ge (or Chu Ko) 楚戈(1931－2011),
who was a connoisseur of antiquities, modern poet, prose writer,
painter and calligrapher. Chu Ge was born in Hunan province, China
and moved to Taiwan in 1949 during civil war. I did not know him
until recently read one of his article about the guqin.
這個LINK有有關楚戈先生的介紹,
及他的手筆字跡寫的詩(窗子的夢).
Introduction of Chu Ge in Chinese and picture of his hand writing of
his poem "The Dream of A Window".
His
poetry looks very interesting to me. I hope to find his book. 更多楚戈的詩

節錄一些他說古琴的文

(古琴的聯想)
... Quot from some parts of his article about the guqin...
My
brief translation:
A
politics of rogue-- Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) was founded
by Liu Bang who was a local punk and he dis-root ancient aristocracy
system, no matter if they were good or bad. 楚戈先生說:貴族制度有百害而仍有一利,
那就是對文化的的提升與保存.
Even though aristocracy culture had hundred of bad habits, but there
was one good part which is for the promotion and preservation of
culture. Liu Bang established vulgarization of the upper class and
that has been extended for 2000 years long. However, Chinese culture
does not destroyed by those vulgar leaderships, instead it survived
by deep accumulation from regular folks. Even though Chinese culture
experienced again and again the catastrophe, there will always be a
fresh life revived. Except that the culture revolution, as the Red
Guards devastation, China cannot suffer that to happen for a 2nd
times. The guqin is like an unique flower blooming after experiencing
holocaust, and saved by local folks.
The
torch of Chinese musical culture has been able to hand on, due to
that the Guqin not only pleasant our ears but also our mind, and is
for accomplishment of personality to rely upon....
The
Han Dynasty, Chinese music
theorist, mathematician and astrologer, Jing Fang
(78–37 BC), used the sound of different length of flutes to set
family names. That shows that music sound had already matched the
pronunciation of words. Poetry and family names are like high class
language, and they seemed to record during the "process" of
music playing, as computer has the function of correcting typing
(sound of word). In the chapter of Offices of Spring of the Rites of
Zhou, there is a word called "Yue Yu" Musical
Language. The highest goal of Yue Yu is to promote the way of
life.... Despite
that whether in the Pre-Qin era, ancestors really practiced
this ideal or not, there is written down records, means part of it
came from experiences. Able to obey the rules or not, and whether
there was the rules or not, they are two different issues.
不知古人還用音律來定姓氏.
而詩跟姓是高級語言.
詩可以瞭解,
姓就不明白為什麼了...?
Listening
elegant great music, we need to clean our mind and ears, clean our
auditory canals that are so used to the noise around us. Then we can
hear the pure call from the sound of our home land that was
originally belong to our nature.
