What is it about?

Why is it important?

Chinese music is increasingly significant globally, and a crucial means of understanding the values and histories of Chinese society. Research on this topic occurs across multiple disciplines and languages. This chapter aims to draw out common points that can be used to strengthen the coherence of this diverse and variegated set of disciplines, as well as identify topics that would repay in-depth study.
