摘要： 音乐家任光于 1935 年创作的民族器乐合奏曲《彩云追月》，其历史流变不仅折射出中国音乐现代化转型的发展轨迹，更可视为“国家认同”建构的生动演绎，同时也是一个由创作者、接受者与传播媒介共同参与的“音乐共同体”持续生成的过程。通过“集体记忆”与“文化记忆”的视角，探讨该作品在现代中国社会语境中的接受、改写与再传播方式，可以揭示其所承载的情感结构、文化象征与认同机制。《彩云追月》跨时代、跨媒介、跨群体的流变历程与传播认同方式，为探讨中华优秀传统文化的传承创新与当代表达，中华民族情感结构的延续逻辑与文化认同的生成机制，提供了一个经典范本。

Abstract: The national instrumental ensemble pieceColorful Clouds Chasing the Moon, composed by musician Ren Guang in 1935, not only reflects the developmental trajectory of the modernization of Chinese music through its historical evolution, but also serves as a vivid enactment of the construction of “national identity”. Simultaneously, it constitutes a continuous process of the formation of a “musical community” jointly shaped by creators, recipients, and dissemination media. Through the lens of “collective memory” and “cultural memory”, an examination of the work’s reception, rewriting, and re-dissemination within modern Chinese social contexts reveals the emotional structures, cultural symbols, and identification mechanisms it carries. The cross-era, cross-media, and cross-group evolutionary trajectory and dissemination-identification modes of Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon provide a classic paradigm for exploring the inheritance, innovation, and contemporary expression of China’s excellent traditional culture, as well as the continuity logic of the Chinese nation’s emotional structure and the generative mechanisms of cultural identity.
