诗词曲与音乐文化

《诗词曲与音乐文化》主要以文学与音乐关系为视角,对《诗经》、唐前挽歌、汉唐乐府诗、唐宋词、元曲、昆曲等中国诗歌史、音乐文化史方面的一些重要问题重加研讨。中国诗歌两三千年的历史演进主要表现为中国文人对汉字声、韵、调等要素愈加自觉的体认和利用,这具体表现为对文字形式美和文体规范的自觉追求。中国式的歌唱都是以传辞为目的,“文”为主、“乐”为从,“文”决定“乐”。带着这样的眼光,我们对《诗经》“风”“雅”“颂”的划分、对先秦以及汉魏六朝的挽歌、对汉唐乐府诗、词曲起源、词曲调牌与宫调、南北曲的歌唱等问题,都可能有全新的认识。

The Emergence of Indian Nationalism

In this volume Dr Seal analyses the social roots of the rather confused stirrings towards political organisations of the 1870s and 1880s which brought about the foundation of the Indian National Congress. He is concerned not only with the politicians, viceroys and civil servants but with the social structure of those parts of India where political movements were most prominent at the time. The emphasis of this work is more upon Indian politics than upon British policy: the associations in Bengal and Bombay, the genesis of the Congress and the Muslim breakaway which accentuated the political divisions in India.

Yet, the rural settlements are not getting developed as per the expectations of rural population. Rural development is either totally ignored or given less preference as compared to the urban development.Regional Planner is entrusted with the re...
