元代回回国所进乐器论略——兼议伊斯兰音乐文化之东流

据史料记载，回回国曾向元朝进贡过兴隆笙、火不思、胡琴等乐器。兴隆笙用于演奏宫廷宴饷之乐，元朝曾仿制过与其大体相同的殿庭笙，但当时对这种键盘乐器的先驱——阿拉伯管风琴的机械性能似乎还不具备接受的能力．元以后已不见其使用记载。而火不思和胡琴在流人中国后都有不同程度的改变，并在戏曲音乐中被广泛使用。受其影响，还出现了戏曲音乐的主要伴奏乐器三弦。三弦后经琉球传至日本，成为近世日本音乐的大宗三味线。不仅乐器，在元代，伊斯兰乐人、音乐也传人中国并产生了一定的影响。可见，伊斯兰音乐的东流，像一条纽带似的将伊斯兰音乐与我国乃至东方音乐连接了起来。

We can see that the Islamic music flew to the East, which connected the Islamic music and Chinese as well as Eastern music.
