Abstract: In the Southern Dynasty,old music in Central Plains (comprising the middle and lower reaches of the Huanghe River),represented by “Xiang”and “Ge”,achieved a state of coexistence with Wuqu and Xiqu,the new music in the south while experiencing a transitional period from the old to the new.In such a musical background,southern new music showed a trend of “refreshing”,including the changes in tunes and style in music,and the erotic content of speech in Quci (poems) as well.The significance of this refreshing is that it has made the old music full of energy,enriched the composition of Yuefu (a government office in the Han Dynasty  for collecting folk songs and ballads;such folk songs and ballads,or their imitation written by scholars) poetry,and put music in an important position in Yuefu art.

Key words: Southern Dynasty, old music, Wusheng (music in the south), Xiqu (music in the south), refreshing
