21, traditional music

Traditional music refers to the music created by the Chinese people using their own inherent methods and taking their own inherent forms, with their own inherent forms and characteristics, including not only the ancient works that have been produced in history and passed down to the present day, but also contemporary works. It can be seen that traditional music includes "national music" but not "new music", but they are all "Chinese music". Traditional music is an extremely important part of Chinese folk music, and the difference between traditional music and new music does not lie in the sequence of the time of creation, but in the form of expression and stylistic features. For example, the erhu solo piece "Reflecting the Moon in Two Springs" and "Fishing Boat Sings the Evening Song" are recent musical works, but their performance forms are inherent to the Chinese nation, so they are also traditional music. On the other hand, the music songs of the school and the piano solo piece "Piccolo for a Shepherd Boy" are not traditional music because their musical forms and characteristics are borrowed from Western music. The division of traditional music was first seen in the Introduction to Ethnic Music written by the China Music Research Institute, which was divided into five categories: songs, song and dance music, rap music, opera and instrumental music. However, most colleges and universities incorporate song and dance music into folk songs in their teaching, and so the four categories become: folk songs, folk instrumental music, operatic music (i.e., "rap"), and opera music. music, folk instrumental music, opera music, and theater music. In fact, "folk music", "traditional music" and "folk music" are three different concepts: "folk music" includes traditional music and new music. In fact, "folk music", "traditional music" and "folk music" are three different concepts: "folk music" includes traditional music and new music; "folk music" is only a category of traditional music. And Chinese folk music is very rich, in addition to folk music, also includes court music, religious music and literati music.

Mr. Du Yaxiong classified Chinese traditional music as follows: folk music, literati music, religious music, court music; among them, folk music includes folk songs, folk instrumental music, folk songs and dances, opera music, and rap music; literati music includes guqin music, poetry recitation tunes, and literati self-discipline; religious music includes Buddhist music, Taoist music, Christian music, Islamic music, Shamanism and other religious music; and religious music includes Buddhist music, Taoist music, Christian music, Islamic music, and other religious music, Shamanism and other religious music; court music, including sacrificial music, court music, welcome and parade music, and banquet music.

Couplets are rumored to have begun in the Five Dynasties after the Lord of Shu, Meng Chang. It is a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation. Couplets originated in the Qin Dynasty and were called peach symbols in ancient times. Regarding the earliest couplets in China, Mr. Tan Cicangxue wrote in the fourth issue of 1991 of Knowledge of Literature and History that the earliest couplets in China appeared in the Tang Dynasty. The time span is from the pre-Qin and two Han Dynasties to the North and South Dynasties. In ancient Chinese poetry, some relatively neat couplets appeared very early. Several ancient ballads that have been passed down to this day have seen their abuse. For example, "Drink from the well, eat from the field", "Work at sunrise, rest at sunset" and so on. To the pre-Qin and Han, couplets are more common. "I Ching" hexagrams and lines in the rhetoric has been some of the couplets neatly text, such as: "small can see, lame can fulfill." ("Cui" hexagram "six three"), "first ascended in the sky, after entering the earth." ("Mingyi" hexagram "upper six") "Yi Chuan" in the pair of neat sentences are more common, such as: "up to watch in astronomy, down to observe the geography." ("The Next Biography of the Department of Rhetoric"), "The same sound corresponds to the same qi, the water flows wet, the fire is dry, the cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger ...... then each follows its own class." Rhythmic Couple, the couplet in metered poetry. This style of poetry, also known as proximity poetry, was formally formed in the Tang Dynasty, but its traceability began in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
