中文摘要 “文字是记录语言的基本工具，音符是记录音乐的基本工具。”文字的诞生帮助了语言的传播，记谱法的诞生使音乐不断地传承。 “传统是一条河。”记谱法就是这条河里的一条涓涓细流，它从这条河里诞生，也将随着这条河流向远方。无论是在中国还是在西方还是在其它地方，因记谱法的出现使得音乐可以记录、承载、传播。记谱法在音乐发展史上占有不容忽视的重要位置。本文通过对中国和西方(欧洲)记谱法的学习、研究、对比，说明其产生、发展与人类社会的产生、发展是密不可分的。记谱法的诞生使音乐得以不断地传承，而音乐的传承又使记谱法不断地得到改进与发展。绪言部分谈到了记谱法的产生、发展，说明记谱法的诞生是人类社会发展的产物。不同的民族、地区，不同的时代，不同的历史文化背景产生的记谱法是不尽相同的。自从记谱法的诞生之日起，人们几乎没有间断过对它的改进与研究。第一部分：把本人所了解到的中国和西方(欧洲)的记谱法作以罗列介绍，说明记谱法的发展与变化。 第二部分：从社会学、哲学等角度对中国和西方的记谱法作以分析。 第三部分：说明记谱法对音乐传承的作用。第四部分：论述记谱法的文化内涵。 第五部分：论述怎样在当今音乐教育中实施记谱法的教学
