Soundscapes in Chinese Music is written especially for general readers interested in Chinese music, while also aiming to engage professional audiences such as scholars, musicians, and composers. The author emphasizes an approach to understanding and appreciating “Chinese music” that transcends personal cultural background, identity, profession, preferences, and practical concerns.
Structured around ten chapters, each focusing on a music genre and its sonic logic, the book presents concrete examples to explore topics such as historical narratives of music, traditions of singing and playing, sonic patterns, aesthetic principles, cultural contexts, and political relationships. The author seeks to rethink the meaning of the term “Chinese music” and offers a musical perspective to enrich fields such as history, anthropology, and cultural studies.
