Record of Music 樂記 (Yue ji) is the 19th chapter of the ''Book of Rites''. It constitutes the grounds for reconstruction of the lost ''Classic of Music'' 樂經. The authorship of the ''Yueji'' is a matter of debate. The ''Book of Sui'' ascribes it to Gongsun Nizi, a second-generation disciple of Confucius, and this view was common during the Tang dynasty. However, the present version includes reference to Marquis Wen of Wei and Zi Xia's meeting which could not have occurred during Gongsun Nizi's life. Qiu Qiongsun claims another Gongsun Ni lived during the Han, authored the book, and it was later erroneously ascribed to the better-known Confucian disciple. The ''Yueji'' is mentioned in the "Yiwen zhi" chapter of the ''Book of Han'', which was built on Liu Xin's ''Qilue''. There, its authorship is ascribed to Liu De, a son of the Han emperor Jing, and his friends. The contents of ''Yueji'' are fully present in the ''Yueshu'' chapter of the ''Records of the Grand Historian'', but, as argued by Martin Kern, this chapter is a later addition to Sima Qian's work, probably dating by the Eastern Han period. According to Kern, this might bear on the dating of the ''Yue ji'' itself.〔Kern, Martin. "A Note on the Authenticity and Ideology of Shih-Chi 24, ''The Book on Music''". ''The Journal of the American Oriental Society'', Vol. 119, No. 4 (October 1999).〕 Kong Yingda (574 648) records in his ''Liji Zhengyi'' that in his editorial work Liu Xiang came across another ''Yueji'' variant, much different from Liu De's. Unfortunately, of the 23 chapters known to Liu Xiang, only 11 are known. Scott Cook's research concludes on the Warring States authorship of ''Yue ji'' as the most probable.〔Cook, ''Yue ji'' - Record of Music. Introduction, translation, notes, and commentary. Asian Music, vol. 26 no. 2 Spring–Summer 1995, p. 7.〕 Material related to the ''Yueji'' can be found in Xunzi's "Yuelun", the ''Xici zhuan'' comment to the ''Yijing'', the "Great Preface" to the ''Book of Songs'', ''Lüshi Chunqiu'', and other sources. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Record of Music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
