On March 14th, the research and development promotion meeting of Nanyin Gongju Music Software was held in Quanzhou Normal University, which marked another step forward in the promotion, inheritance and dissemination of Nanyin.
It is understood that Nanyin is one of the most abundant and complete kinds of music that preserves the ancient Chinese music culture, and it is called the "living fossil" of music culture. As a world intangible cultural heritage list, Quanzhou Nanyin's music carrier has been embodied in the form of "music score" for thousands of years. Gongju score is a self-contained notation form of ancient Chinese music, and it is a Chinese ideographic score that records the language of Nanyin music. It consists of three parts: the score, the "finger bone" (the symbol indicating the time value and pipa playing) and the slap mark. Nanyin's composition spectrum has the characteristics of vertical arrangement, mixed arrangement of word spectrum and the use of special notation symbols. Because of its long history, abstruse complexity, and the fact that the manual can't be printed in lead, it has always been handed down from generation to generation by string friends except for individual lithographs and woodblocks.
"This is a kind of music-playing software with convenient input and creation and strong practicability. The software was developed by computer professionals and Nanyin professionals, listening to the actual needs of workers and technicians, and combining the pronunciation rules of Nanyin. " Susan Wang, vice president of Quanzhou Normal University and director of the "Nanyin Cultural Heritage and Development Collaborative Innovation Center" in Fujian Province in 211, said.
Personal Resume, who participated in the research and development, said that the software also supports fuzzy sound input according to the dialect characteristics of some old artists and folk artists, which solves the difficulty that many old artists don't know pinyin and can't input their own music. "As long as you know how to pronounce the sound, you can type words through it. Therefore, Nanyin Gongju's software is a very meaningful work. "
Chen Silai, another developer, also said that through this software, users can input and typeset the composition spectrum in word, wps and other text typesetting software, which effectively solved many shortcomings of the previous Nanyin composition software, such as difficult input, unattractive fonts, inconvenient typesetting and so on. At the same time, this software can also be popularized and applied to the input and preservation of guqin, Kunqu and other guqin scores which are connected with Nanyin's music theory.
"The successful development of Nanyin Gongju score software reflects the combination of traditional music inheritance and contemporary scientific and technological development, which will promote the spread and promotion of Quanzhou Nanyin." Susan Wang said that the college will vigorously promote and publicize this software to attract more young people to learn and spread Nanyin.
