【摘要】 先秦音乐思想以及整个文艺思想 ,集中表现在一场关于“乐”的论争上。作为这场论争的总结和结晶的《乐记》 ,其成书年代历来没有弄清楚。郭沫若曾提出了公孙尼子说。但从《乐记》自身的矛盾性来看 ,作者不应是公孙尼子 ;从儒家传统文艺观的发展过程来看 ,《乐记》当在《荀子》之后。从直接的史料记载看《乐记》的成书年代与作者 ,《汉书·艺文志》提供的史料是基本可信的。所以 ,《乐记》应是汉武帝时 ,刘德与毛生等人收集《周官》及诸子言乐事者所作 ,经汉成帝时刘向校书而得。更多还原

【Abstract】 The musical concept and the thinking of the whole literature and art during the pre Qin days concentratively reflected on the point in controversy concerning"music".People have never clarified the year of being published in book form and the author of 《Chronicles of Music》,as the summarization and crystallization of this controversy. Mr.Guo Mo lo advanced the claim that Gongsun Nizi must be the author of the book.However, Seen from analysing the contradictory existing in 《Chronicles of Music》 itself,the author of the book can’t be Gongsun Nizi and what’s more,seen from the course of the development of the viewpoint of traditional Confucian literature and art.the year of publishing 《Chronicles of Music》 must be after that of the book 《Xunzi》.Having read the accounts of direct historical data,we believe that the historical data concerning the year and the author of 《Chronicles of Music》 furnished by《Historical Records of Han Dynasty·Descriptive Account of Book in Dynastic Histories》 are basically true. Hence, at that time when Emperor Han Wudi was on the throne(140-87B.C.),《Chronicles of Music》 was written by Liu De, Mao Sheng and etc. who had collected the sufficient data on music which 《Officials of Zhou Dynasty》 and the exponents of the various schools of thought had discussed.Proofread and corrected by Liu Xiang, it was published in book form at the time when Emperor Han Chengdi was on the throne(32-7B.C.)\;更多还原
