Chinese Music/World Music?
63. In spite there being "few musical features that are both uniquely and universally Chinese," what is the concept of Chinese music?
• When Chinese people explain what makes their music "Chinese," they refer "not only to sonic and geographical characteristics, but also to contexts and usages of performances and to the emotional and social content generated through acts of making music."
• Like the opposing yin-yang duality, Chinese "music" and "life" are "opposed but inherently linked, and any account of the specific sound materials of Chinese music is necessarily also one of Chinese life more generally. On the second [level of understanding] ‘China' is opposed but conceived in direct acknowledgement of the ‘foreign.'"
