What are the characteristics of China's music art?

The characteristic of China folk music in pitch is that "there is no fixed height of sound".

For example, many national musical instruments have fingering such as chanting, rubbing and sliding, which makes the sound fluctuate and the lingering sound is unique. These fingering methods are essential in the learning process of national musical instruments, which largely determine the timbre and style of music.

In national music, different discs and eye arrangements are used to express different beats. Generally speaking, the chessboard represents the strong beat and the eyes represent the weak beat. * * * There are scattered boards, flow boards, one board with one eye, one board with two eyes, one board with three eyes and one board with three eyes.

Stream board writes one board per beat, which is generally 1/4 rhythm.

Sanban is the most distinctive plate in national music. The beat in the third board inherits the tradition of "the beat has no fixed value", that is, the position of the strong beat and the weak beat is not fixed, which is determined according to the style of music, the mood of the performer and the need of expression.

Adding flowers to a tune mainly depends on the style of the instrument itself. It should be noted that the main tone is generally unchanged, and sometimes flowers can be added to the knots of sentences and paragraphs to make the tune more smooth and continuous.

Extended data:

Five-tone mode

First of all, in terms of music composition, China music is based on pentatonic music.

The so-called pentatonic mode is a mode composed of five tones: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Qian and Yu, which is similar to "1, 2, 3, 5 and 6" in the present notation. Six tones and seven tones in national music are developed on the basis of five tones.

Secondly, in the form of musical expression, China's music pays attention to the horizontal development of music, that is, the expression of melody.

Like China's calligraphy, painting and other arts, in terms of artistic style, China's music pays attention to the charm of melody, emphasizing the scattered form and the scattered spirit. Traditional China's music works are often performed in the form of a single melody, and harmony is rarely used.
