What do you know about notation?

The ancient methods of notation in China include:

Textual notation during the Wei, Jin, and North and South Dynasties periods

Vocal score during the Han Dynasty

Jane-word score and Yan-lead accompanied-word score during the Tang Dynasty

Working-rule (che) score during the Ming and Qing Dynasties

A method of writing down music using symbols, words, numbers, or diagrams.

The records it produces are called sheet music. The method of notation varies greatly from country to country, from nation to nation, and from time to time

generation to generation. The various elements of music recorded in sheet music

include the absolute or relative height of the tone, the duration of the tone, the strength of the tone, the ornamentation of the tone,

the method of playing the instrument, and the expression of the notation, etc.

The world's most important music is the music of the world, and it is the most popular music in the world.

There are many notation methods in the world, the most important of which are:

Text notation The notation that uses words, numbers, etc. to indicate the pitch of each note and other aids to indicate the rhythm.

This is an ancient form of notation. This is an ancient method of

notation, and ancient Greek music was notated with two different sets of text symbols used

for vocal and instrumental music respectively. Medieval Gregorian chant, Byzantine

chant, and early polyphonic music also used written notation. The main types of written notation still found in the world today are the numerical and alphabetic

simplified notation that appeared in the early 19th century. The Eastern countries including India, Japan and China have also been using different

script scores. Chinese specialties are the Gongshang, Rulu, Gongshi, and gong

drum scores, the latter two of which are still in common use today.

The pitch score, which is based on fixed lines with different positions to record the level of pitch,

was first used in ancient Greece. At that time, symbols were used above the lyrics to indicate

the rise and fall of tones and accents, not pitch, and were later used in Gregorian

li chants and the like. This method evolved in the 7th century into

Newham notation, in which a single line was used to indicate the fixed pitch of the F note

and different pitches were indicated by symbols higher and lower than the line. It later evolved into quantitative notation, and in the 17th century

was gradually standardized into pentatonic notation, which became the internationally accepted notation. The square notation used by Yu Zai of the Yuan Dynasty in his Songs of the Nine Virtues (九德之歌音图一), also belongs to

this category.

Phonetic notation A notation in which words, numbers, or other symbols are used to indicate the way the instrument is played

without indicating the specific pitch of the sound produced; this notation was commonly used by players of ancient plucked

instruments in Europe around the 16th century, such as the Ryutte, the Sitten, and the Biawra, and the specific notation varied according to the construction of the instrument and its method of performance.

Five-stringed

This is a type of musical notation that is used in the Chinese Yuan Dynasty (1600-1100 BC). After the generalization of five-line

spectrum, a few instruments are still attached to the top of the five-line score to

facilitate the performance, such as guitars, banjos and so on. Before the Second World War, the German

push-button accordion, but also used to use the ten-stripe score. Chinese instruments

also use their own stave scores, such as the guqin score, the zheng's two-fourths, etc., and the pipa

score is added in addition to the gongscale score to the stave score. In Japan, the pipa, flute,

shakuhachi and shamisen also have their own method scores.

Image notation A method of notating music using images, symbols, and words.

The more primitive types of notation are the motifs, which do not represent specific tones, but rather the basic melodic patterns or motifs that make up the music, such as medieval Armenian chants and Jewish chants.

Since the mid-20th century, some modernist composers in the West have not been satisfied with the universal

five-line notation, and have often invented or created some new notation on their own, some of which

are based on the five-line score with a cadenza or a new marking, and then with textual instructions;

some of them utilize images to notate the score, such as specific music, incidental music, and electronic music

.

music, all use image score.

There are basically thirteen types of traditional Chinese notation, namely: Gongshi (工尺谱), Qinshi (琴谱), Yanle (燕乐)半字谱 (燕乐半字谱), String and Cable (弦索谱), Guanshi (管色谱), Cheongzong (俗字谱), Rulue (律吕字谱), Fangge (方格谱), Yalue (雅乐谱), Curve (曲线谱), Yengshi (央移谱), Chaba (查巴谱), and Gong and Luo Guo (锣鼓經), re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, and in the Gongshaku notation, it is expressed as Shang, Shaku, Gong, He, Six, Five, One. Pitch is also expressed by drawing slashes underneath the characters and adding radicals (e.g. "亻") to the characters.

The sheet music of the guqin is a written record of the string setting, playing techniques, and phrasing of guqin pieces.

The symbols used in the Yan music half-character score are mostly shaped like half a Chinese character, and are mostly used to record Yan music! Hence the name!

The string score is a kind of fingerpicking score, and the principle is similar to the guitar fingerpicking score today. It has been lost!

The wind color spectrum is a kind of phonemic spectrum, originally may be the evolution of wind instrument fingering notation.

The common word spectrum is the predecessor of the work-rule spectrum.

The ryuru character spectrum is a notation that uses twelve ryuru names to record the pitch of each voice in a tune. It was once used in China to record elegant music. It is still widely used in Japan and Korea.

Square notation is a list of the twelve rhythms from the lowest to the highest, with the word "ryuru" on the rightmost line of the chart, each square representing a semitone, and each square from left to right representing a unit of relative equal time value.

The yalu score is a form of musical score used in the Ming Dynasty to record the music used in sacrifices to Confucius.

Curve sheet music is a form of sheet music that uses zigzag lines to notate the progression of a tune.

Yangyi is a form of sheet music used in Tibetan Buddhism, which is composed of seven parallel lines with various curves drawn on them.

Chaba is a kind of music score that consists of curves drawn in a square grid.

Gongs and gongs is a kind of percussion music. It is also called "gongjing", "gongs and drums score" and "fazhi score".
