2. New Tasks in the Study of Classical Chinese Literature in the Age of Globalization and Informatization Issues of Far Eastern Literatures: Materials of the 11th International Scientific Conference. June 27–29, 2024 35 Tong Ling (Nanjing University), tongling@nju.edu.cn Song of Prince Lanling in Battle and Its Environs: Music and Dance in the Medieval China and the East Asian World This paper begins with a discussion of the relationship between the qualities of the Tang empire and its music, and the extensive cultural exchanges between the East and the West during the Tang dynasty are worth noting, which will lead to the topic of “the cosmopolitanism of medieval China and the cosmopolitan- ism of medieval culture”. Mr. Chen Yinke’s “Draft Discussion on the Origins of Sui-Tang Institution” says: “Tang’s hu music was mostly due to Sui, and Sui’s hu music was mostly passed on from the Northern Qi Dynasty.” This was a very accurate deduction. Although the Sui and Tang Dynasties inherited the Northern Zhou Dynasty in terms of the rightful succession of power, the genealogy of music should be “Northern Qi —Sui —Tang” as a kind of main line. This paper takes “Song of Prince Lanling in Battle” as an example. The song was lost in China after the Five dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was still inherited in Japan. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, this song returned to Chinese people's vision. The Japanese ver- sion of “Song of Prince Lanling in Battle” was first recorded in the Tang Dynasty by Fo Zhe, a monk who studied in the Linyi Kingdom of Annam, and then brought to Japan by the diplomats to the Tang Dynasty. The song later became an important piece of Japanese gagaku and had a profound influence on Japan. This paper examines the history and cultural significance of the introduction of the song to Japan, introduces the music, instruments, dances, and costumes of the performances of the song that have been preserved in Japan, and discusses the influence of this music and dance on Japanese culture and the historical process of East Asia during the Tang Dynasty, using a rich variety of literary and artistic works as examples. Keywords: Tang dynasty, Japanese culture, Song of Prince Lanling in Battle, Music East Asian World. Ulyanov Mark (IWL RAS), ulm@mail.ru Literary Aspects in Narratives of the Chunqiu Zuozhuan (“Zuo’s Commentary on “Springs and Autumns”) Chunqiu Zuozhuan (Tzuo’s Commentary on “Spring and Autumn” [chronicle]), Guoyu (Speech of the Kingdoms) and Zhanguoce (Plans of theWarring Kingdoms), the historiographic pieces of the ancient Chinese literature, which describe the periods of Chunqiu (771–453) and Zhanguo (453–221), are important for studies of the history of Chinese literature as they contain a large number of narrative texts. The report presents the results of literary analysis of the narratives from Chunqiu Zuozhuan. Our task is to single out and describe elements of literary style found in those narratives. It is noted that a narrative may be either of a short or a long form. The former contains a short story telling about a historical event, often with a monologue (direct or indirect). The latter consists of three components: — an exposition, — a dialogue, — a didactic conclusion. Such narratives may be attributed to a certain event or they may be extended over a period of time. A key feature of literary style applied to such texts lies in mentioning an emotion (often negative: anger, resentment, etc.), increased focus on everyday life (hair washing), and in presence of recurring motifs: a mother’s dislike for her eldest son, a monarch’s dream, etc. In narrative texts one may find temporal shifts — an appeal to a beginning of the described event; retardation — slow down of an action winding up (for example, false hope for resolution of a conflict). It seems that introduction of elements of literary style to historiographical texts is a natural process; it is a result of desire to move from fixing facts and naming actions of heroes to a more vivid story about them. However, although the literary function of such narratives in Zuozhuan has already fully emerged, at this stage of development of literature it not only coexists with the pragmatic function, both historiographical and commentary at the same time, of the entire text, but also is largely subordinate to them.
