Shu Suntong and the Music of Ancestral Temples in the Early Western Han Dynasty
Shu Suntong was a key figure in the reconstruction of ritual and music in the early Han Dynasty.At that time,he led the completion of the court ceremony,ancestral temple music,and ritual products.The Han Shu & Li Yue Zhi did not accurately attribute the Han family ancestral temple music he created,including the Wu De Wu and Wen Shi Wu,to the fourth and sixth years of the Han Dynasty(203 BC and 201 BC).This should have happened during the second term of Tai Chang held by Shu Suntong after Emperor Hui ascended the throne.The ancestral temple rituals and music of the early Han Dynasty were modeled after the Qin system and were mainly applicable to the Tai Shang Royal Temple and Emperor Gao Zu Temple in Chang'an,as well as the temples of various prefectures and states.It was through the efforts of Shu Suntong that the music of ancestral temples in the early Han Dynasty presented a complex pattern of respecting elegance,using customs,and combining etiquette and law.
