59  “磬”是石器时代的乐器     

磬   甲骨文象人用手举槌敲击石磬之形。《说文》注：“磬，乐石也。”磬是石制之打击乐器。后发展为金属所制之磬，为礼乐或祭神时使用。

磬 (名) chime stone; inverted bell

《互动百科》资料：石磬简称“磬”，是中国古老的石制打击乐器，为“八音”中的“磬石”音。有石或玉制成，形有大有小，上面刻有花纹，并钻孔悬挂于架下，击打传声。它造型古朴，制作精美。謦的历史非常悠久，在远古母系氏族社会，当时人们以渔猎为生，劳动之后敲击着石头，装扮成各种野兽的形象跳舞娱乐。这种敲击的石头就被逐渐演变为后来的打击乐器——謦。
  在中国古代的八音乐器分类法(金、石、土、革、丝、木、匏、竹)中，磬居石类，朱载堉在其《律吕精义》中称作“石音之属”。作为原始时代仅有的几种乐器，磬是重要的击节乐器，它的产生早于其它象金类、丝类乐器是显而易见的。关于石磬的早期记载有《礼记·明堂位》的“叔之离磬”、《世本》的“无句作磬”等神话传说，说“离磬”是“叔”这个人制造的，“无句”会制作磬。“叔”和“无句”注家大多以为是尧舜时人。这虽无据可考，但这透露了我国远古即有磬的制作使用的历史。我们祖先经历了漫长的石器时代，他们在打制石器的过程中，发现某些可发出悦耳之声的“鸣球”，以之敲击来为舞蹈击节助兴。这一现象被记载在《尚书•益稷》中，即所谓“予击石拊石，百兽率舞”。这里的“石”即“石磬”，说明石磬在当时已作为原始乐舞的一种击节乐器。这种乐舞是否就是原始的祭祀活动，尚无定论，但磬作为较早礼器出现在祭祀活动中是有记载的。
