The Identity of"Confucian Scholar"and the Right Voice"Melody":A New Solution to the Controversy of"Taking Scholars with Qu"in Yuan Dynast
It has not been decided whether there was"Selection of scholars by Yuan Qu"in the Yuan Dynasty,but there is still room for interpretation.The article tries to elaborate from three aspects:"Talent Selection in the year of Wuxu","Title of'Qu'and'Ci'"and"Appointing a scholar as an official"to prove that"Selection of scholars by Yuan Qu"is just to confirm the household registration status of scholars,not to let them enter the"official career"in the sense of imperial examination.In the Yuan Dynasty,under the ethos of"Lv Fu"(a form of literary style),"Qu"which observes the music of the law was regarded as"Yuefu"integrating with"Ci";therefore,selecting scholars by"Ci Fu"(a type of classical Chinese writing)includes selecting scholars by"Yuan Qu".The redefinition of the con-cept of"Selection of scholars by Yuan Qu"may provide a new perspective for the study of opera history.
