What's the difference between China National Orchestra and Western Orchestra? What's the acoustic difference? Why? explain

The biggest difference in composition is that there are brass pipes in the west, but there is no folk music, and the string part has bass. Although there are reggaes in Chinese music, the double bass is often used as the bass in strings because of its good integration. Acoustical effects As far as harmony is concerned, the arrangement of China's music mostly adopts modal harmony, and some of them are allowed to be equal to five or eight, which is rarely used by western orchestras. Even if there is, it is the same part, which is very different. As far as the instrument itself is concerned, the instrument designed solely for alto (intermediate frequency) is not as detailed as that in the west, which will affect the fullness of background harmony. Because of this, China music has its own composition and arrangement patterns and habits, which are different from those in the West. To understand clearly, you can take the same piece and let the Chinese orchestra and the western orchestra play it once each.
