Chinese classical music has a rich history spanning more than three thousand years, featuring its own unique musical notation, tuning, pitch, instruments, and genres. The music of China can be traced back to the dawn of Chinese civilization, with evidence of a well-developed musical culture as early as the Zhou Dynasty (1122 BC - 256 BC).
According to the philosopher Mencius, the only thing that matters when it comes to music preference is whether or not the ruler loved their subjects. The Imperial Music Bureau, established in the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC), was later expanded by Emperor Han Wu Di (140-87 BC) to supervise court and military music while determining which folk music would be officially recognized.
Throughout subsequent dynasties, the development of Chinese music was influenced by foreign music, particularly that of Central Asia. Overall, if you're looking to expand your knowledge and appreciation of Chinese traditional music and culture, this software is an excellent starting point.
