[原文]
7.1 乐府者，“声依永，律和声”也。钧天九奏，既其上帝;葛天八阕，爱[乃]及皇时。自咸英以降，亦无得而论矣。至于涂山歌于候人，始为南音;有娀谣乎飞燕，始为北声;夏甲叹于东阳，东音以发;殷整思于西河，西音以兴:音声推移，亦不一概矣。匹夫庶妇，讴吟土风，诗官采言，乐[盲]胥被律，志感丝篁，气变金石:是以师旷觇风于盛衰，季札鉴微于兴废，精之至也。
[今译]
乐府诗用五音来摇曳声调，用乐律来配合声音。相传天上的多种演奏，是上帝的音乐;葛天氏的八种歌曲，是在三皇时的乐歌。自从黄帝的《咸池》、帝喾的《五英》以来的乐曲，也已无从考查了。至于涂山氏唱的《候人歌》，是南方音乐的开端;有娀氏唱的《燕燕歌》，是北方音乐的开端;夏王孔甲在东阳感叹，作《破斧歌》，是东方音乐的发端;殷王整迁到西河，怀念旧居作歌，西方音乐因此兴起:各地音乐的兴起转变，也是不一致的。至于男的或女的，歌唱当地民歌，采诗官搜集这些民歌，音乐师给它配上音乐，它的情志影响了弦乐器和管乐器的乐调，它的辞气改变了钟和磬的声韵:因此师旷从在演奏南方民歌中感到北盛南衰，季札从乐歌中鉴别国家的兴亡，是精微到极点了。
7.1 Yuefu, or poems of the "Music Bureau," refers to songs with music, and music that is harmonious. The nine songs of heaven were the music of gods; the eight songs of Ge Tian appeared in the glorious antiquity. Then there were the Xianchi song of the Yellow Emperoг and the Wuying song of King Ku. That is all that could be known. Southern music originated in a song about King Yu, sung by a woman from Tushan. Northern music originated in a song about flying swallows, sung by You Song's two daughters. Eastern music came from a song chanted by King Kong Jia of the Xia Dynasty in Dongyang. Western music developed from a nostalgic song chanted by King Zheng Jia of the Yin Dynasty in Xihe. The development of music was not all the same. Ordinary men and women sang folk songs. Official poetry collectors gathered the songs and musicians set them to music. Feelings and thoughts are conveyed through zithers and flutes, personality is revealed with bells and chimes. That is why the musician Shi Kuang could foretell military victory or defeat by testing the wind with a tune, and Ji Zha could tell the rice and fall of nations by listening to music. Their understanding of music was profound.
