『源氏物語』若紫巻北山の琴楽についての考察 : 「山の鳥もおどろかしはべらむ」の漢籍引用を起点として

The instruments appearing in Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji include the traditional Chinese instrument, guqin, which is registered in UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage. Accompanied by wagon, koto, and pipa, among other instruments, guqin is a stringed instrument that symbolizes the court society of the Heian Period in Japan. Guqin music's relationship with Chinese poetic forms, lore, and folktales has been explored in depth previously. The present study aims to illuminate Kitayama's guqin music in reference to the production of Murasaki's story of Genji's relationships, which pivots around the affair with Fujitsubo, Onna Sannomiya's pregnancy, and Murasaki no Ue's death. This study provides a new interpretation of Wakamurasaki associated with guqin music. Based on commentaries and previous studies, this study identifies the stories of Shi Kuang, Sima Xiangru, Zhuo Wenjun, and Youxian Ku as showing a fundamental acceptance of classic Chinese quotations as described previously. The possible influence of Sima Xiangru's and Biehecao of Qincao's guqin music is argued in order to illustrate the concept of guqin or forbidden romance and demonstrate the structure of a tragedy, which tells the story of an accidental encounter that results in in separation.
