The difference between ancient music and Chinese style

1. In music. First of all, in the aspect of orchestration, compared with the "ancient style", the proportion of western or electroacoustic instruments used in orchestration will be slightly higher, which is basically half of western instruments and half of national instruments; "Antique" emphasizes the use of national musical instruments and electronic synthesizers. Secondly, in the rhythm of music, "Chinese style" is more fashionable, will be more in line with the tastes of most contemporary people, can be accepted by a new generation of young people, and belongs to a widely accepted type, while "ancient style" is sometimes unacceptable to most people in this respect. Until 20 13, most of the ancient wind circles used the existing original folk songs from China or Japanese songs with oriental style as lyrics, resulting in many versions of the same tune. Even if rewritten, there will be similarities. Because many ancient songs are rearranged, so the so-called ancient song cover appeared.

2. Judging from the lyrics. In terms of lyrics, the lyrics of "Chinese style" songs are easier to understand than "ancient style", and the style of words tends to modern poetry, while the lyrics of "ancient style" basically tend to ancient poetry, which contains allusions and is not easy to understand. The lyrics of Chinese style are more vernacular than ancient songs. Many ancient lyrics use ancient poems, paying more attention to rhyme.

3. The increasingly popular features of ancient songs-reading aloud and writing-are not Chinese.

Most ancient songs have a story background, which is very story-telling compared with Chinese style. Although some Chinese styles also have story backgrounds, they are relatively few.

5. Differences in scope. "Chinese style, literally: China music style. She is China music in the new era. " But as we all know, many ancient styles use foreign music, such as Zi Xue and cold clothes.

6. Chinese style is involved in the entertainment circle (such as blue and white porcelain), while most ancient songs are only developed on the Internet.

In addition, "ancient style" is not "ancient music", and the two cannot be equated. The instruments used in "Ancient Music" are completely national instruments, and no western instruments have been added. For example, Ha Hui's Harmony Qu Ji Zi is a typical ancient music, and the instruments in it are basically China's "drums" and "guqin". Moreover, the melody of ancient songs mostly adopts the traditional five-tone style, and some of them involve the traditional six-tone or seven-tone Yan music and elegant music. However, the audience of traditional "ancient songs" is relatively narrow, which requires listeners to have a good artistic experience and appreciation level. However, the audience of "ancient style" is wider than that of "ancient music". The instruments of ancient style are mainly national instruments, supplemented by electronic synthesizers and western instruments, which are both modern and classical. On the other hand, although the ancient style in the melody is mainly pentatonic, it is relatively free and widely used in changing palaces, while the angle clearing is relatively rare, and the melody is popular and easy to be accepted.

When classical music covers quoted some famous songs as accompaniment, some did not indicate the source of the songs and the composer's name. For example, "Drunken Fairy Songs" quoted the tune "Sakura Sakura" by Japanese Rin Orchestra. Some ancient songs quoted famous songs without indicating the source and composer's name. There are many situations like this. On the one hand, it is misleading, which makes many people mistakenly think that this song is written by hand. This is a bad phenomenon.
