龙杰 Posted September 1, 2004 at 05:51 AM Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 at 05:51 AM Anybody knows what kind of music were heard during the Tang Dinasty period and during another brilliant times of China? I'm interested in the Chinese music composed in ancient times. It could be useful if you know some records too. 谢谢！ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiYuanXi Posted September 1, 2004 at 07:53 AM Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 at 07:53 AM I think you can find some Tang music. I heard some of them before in a performance. Otherwise, you can listen to KunQu which started around the Yuan Dynasty. Kunqu is still being performed today though it is a disappearing form of art.

yonglan Posted September 1, 2004 at 12:23 PM Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 at 12:23 PM Don't really know the answer to your question, but the following bit of information may of interest to you. A couple of years ago in Taipei I went to a performance of Tang dance (and music). I am not into dance, but this was magnificent. Anyway, the show brochure said that a lot of information had been lost due to An Lushan's shenanigans(sp?), and the choreographer had to go to Japan to research stuff since they had materials from that time (in China) in their archives.

ananda Posted September 2, 2004 at 05:04 AM Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 at 05:04 AM you could try this: http://www.eyw.edu.cn/racemusic/2.asp?sm=instrument this one I like best: http://www.eyw.edu.cn/manage/racemusic/down/instrument/037.mp3. In ancient chinese, the music was the very important thing to the state, which was treated a method to purge human being's spirit. I think the rock&roll or RAP could make them crazy.

龙杰 Posted September 2, 2004 at 06:44 AM Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 at 06:44 AM 谢谢！ Do you know if there are some connection between these musical traditions and any philosophical thought? I've read that there are a deep relation between painting (/writting) and philosophy (Lao Zi...). There are similarities with the ancient Chinese music? Another: does not Rock act as the Four Heavenly Kings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
