Summary

The history of Chinese music is as vast and diverse as the history of China itself. From the Neolithic era up to the present day, Chinese music has been an important part of the politics, culture and daily life of the Chinese people. This book illustrates the development of Chinese music from its early beginnings to the formation of Chinese folk orchestras in the 20th Century. With clear explanations of Chinese musical instruments and their place within the spectrum of Chinese music, along with descriptions of Chinese musical rites and anecdotes concerning ancient Chinese musicians, this is an essential guide for anyone interested in the development and unique character of Chinese traditional music.
