What are the biggest differences and similarities between Chinese and western music appreciation?

The essence of China's traditional music is the study of melody. In order to make the melody more expressive, a large number of decorative sounds, such as vibrato and vibrato, have been developed in Chinese folk music performance. These decorative sounds are not commonly used in western music. As for musical instruments, although the timbre of traditional Chinese musical instruments is very distinctive, the design principle is actually similar to that of western musical instruments. For example, pipa and Qin Liu's character design are the same as guitar; Erhu and violin have similar principles; There is little difference between flutes and woodwinds.
