博士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 哲學研究所 === 103 === Emotion is an important part of human life and our own existence; Music is the essential activity of human cultural and mind. The relation between music and emotion is so close that could not be explained lucidly. Ji Kang brought up a negative proposition on the relation between music and emotion. His treatise The Sound without Emotion is the focus of this dissertation. But Ji Kang’s treatise is the opposite to the traditional viewpoint that music can express emotion which is from Yue Ji. Therefore, Yue Ji is an another topic that has been to studied. And then, It’s very naturally to ask how are the theories which is constructed by Yue Ji and Sound without emotion applied to practice. The answer will come out in the study of Guqin’s most important treatise Xi Shan Qin Kuang. These three texts will be threaded together with the theme of the relation between music and emotion. And we will see how the relation is different and developed in different texts. Keywords: Ji Kang; Treatise on the Sound without emotion; Yue Ji; Xi Shan Qin Kuang; Emotion; Music
