We can see the word national music in many folk music CDs, which refers to music handed down from ancient times to modern times. It can be seen that the creation time of national music refers to ancient times.

New music refers to music written by people who have studied western music, such as school songs. It can be seen that the creation time of new music was after 1840 Opium War.

China music not only refers to the music handed down from ancient times, but also refers to the music created and adapted by China people according to western theories.

China traditional music refers to the music with inherent morphological characteristics created by the people of China by their own inherent methods and forms, including both ancient works produced in history and contemporary works. It can be seen that traditional music includes national music but not new music, but they are all China music.

Traditional music is an extremely important part of China national music. The difference between traditional music and new music lies not in the order of creating sounds, but in the form and style of expression. For example, Erhu solo "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" and "Fishing Boat Singing Night" are modern music works, but their forms of expression are inherent in the Chinese nation, so they are also the opposite of traditional music. The school music piano solo "Shepherd Boy Piccolo" is not traditional music because of its musical morphological characteristics.

Structural Features of China Traditional Music

1. Learn and inherit the narrative structure of traditional music.

(1) China traditional music is different from western music in melody, scale, timbre and rhythm.

(2) The presentation of China's traditional music has its own characteristics, including some specific termination methods. China folk music embodies the charm of China traditional culture.

2. The structural relationship between China traditional music and China traditional literature.

There are couplets in literature and four quatrains in music. In music, there are similar four-sentence structures. There are eight metrical poems in Xiaoqu literature, which are very similar to their structural principles and exist in a large number of instrumental music. Literature has chapters, and divertimento literature has idioms. Music also has the habit of using ready-made music ideas, such as anthology ... There are game-style poems controlled by sequential forms such as jujube stone poems in literature, and there are also corresponding structural forms such as golden olives. Sixty-eight beats are pipa.

3. The influence of China traditional music structure and form on modern music.

The influence of Tang Daqu and opera music on modern music structure, the gradual principle of Tang Daqu's "scattered-slow-medium-fast" and the linear structural thinking of later operas organized by plate-type speed structure are the highest achievements of China's traditional music structure, and the highest achievement of western music structure is the sonata Tang Daqu's musical structural characteristics as follows:

Music is a multi-segment structure.

(2) It shows that a part of fast dance (equivalent to "breaking") has changed from scattering to shooting, and then it has become complicated and urgent through singing and dancing lightly; At the end, there is a rhythmic and messy gradient speed layout (that is, "long lead at the end of the song"). At the beginning of the whole piece, every player began to tune the piano. They tuned the piano in advance. In this way, they transferred the audience's feelings to the music.

③ improvise with the core sound (instead of theme or qupai) to develop musical ideas.

④ New voice control relationship. It is a modern western technology, and it is written in the same way as traditional music in China.

⑤ New playing methods and new timbre. For example, the musical instrument Xiao's Dare to Blow, and the modern multi-voice language that emphasizes intuition and acoustics. Wing-fai Law's Thousand Chapters Sweep accords with the composition idea of "controlling accidents" in modern western music.
