What are the traditional composing techniques in China?

Some melodies that should be avoided when composing music:

1 avoids the zigzag melody.

The range is too narrow, and the melody has no clear direction.

2 avoid repeating the same pitch many times in the strong beat or adjacent bars.

It will lead to unclear melody direction and bad music rhythm.

Avoid the same high point or low point appearing twice or more in a short sentence.

If a phrase leads the melody to a climax, the climax usually appears at the high point of the melody.

If there is a high point with the same pitch before this high point appears, it will make this climax come.

Look weak. Because listeners are generally interested in the highest and lowest notes, the strongest and highest notes.

Long sounds have a deep memory.

In the same way, the same low point appears many times, which will reduce the contrast of music and appear dull and powerless.

Avoid inserting diacritical marks and change the melody direction.

This process will make it difficult for listeners to distinguish the melody direction, which is also very unfavorable to the establishment of tonality.

5 avoid the melody jumping between bars.

The big jump between bars will make the melody lose coherence and beauty. Especially above three degrees.

It is not harmonious to jump from bar to bar. Among novices, it is best not to use it.

6 avoid excessive use of the same direction jump

A continuous jump of more than three degrees will make the melody out of balance. Especially when writing a single melody, don't do this.

Generally jump more than three degrees, it is best to jump backwards, so that the music can be stable.

7 Use singing melody as little as possible in instrumental works.

The best way to distinguish it from songs is to broaden the range, and then write its melody characteristics according to the characteristics of instrumental music.

Manfred in Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky.

At the beginning stage, we should also avoid too many changes in the time signature.

Too many changing beats will make the listener a little confused and the sense of rhythm is unstable.
