Musical Influence of Chinese Traditional Music

"Chinese traditional music" refers to the music created by the Chinese people using their own intrinsic methods and adopting their own intrinsic forms with their own intrinsic characteristics, including not only the music produced and passed down through history, but also the music created by the Chinese people. It includes not only ancient works that have been produced and passed down in history, but also contemporary works.

See, traditional music includes "national music" but not "new music", but they are all "Chinese music". Traditional music is an extremely important part of China's national 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.

Such as the erhu solo piece "Two Fountains Reflecting the Moon" and "Fishing Boat Singing in the Evening" are recent musical works, but their performance forms are inherent in the Chinese nation, so they are also traditional music. On the contrary, the school music song, piano solo piece "Shepherd Boy Piccolo" and so on, because of its music form characteristics borrowed from Western music, so it is not traditional music.
