Integrated Study of Chinese Traditional Music Living Resources

In the 21st century, ethnomusicology tends to welcome an integrated study as a reason of diversifications of research theories and methods. How does Chinese tradition music maintain its natural active state in folk cultural soil under this globalization trend, and how does it adapt this new culture shock? Meanwhile, how do researchers explore interrelationships between music and its culture surroundings in fieldwork? After years’ of fieldwork on traditional music along the “Xikou Road (Road to the West)” and “Qin Zhi Dao (Straight Road of Qin Dynasty)”, the author propose an integrated research model to study living resources of Chinese tradition music, which leads to the author’s profound music and culture experiences as well as deeper understandings of music ethnography constructs.
