Comment on Top 10 Chinese Classical Music – Part I by Shi Sura Nai

Shi Sura Nai — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:59:02 +0000

“Honestly, Chinese classical music is not as good as western music. Its theoretical basis was too poor comparing to western music.”

Unless you have a Phd in Musicology AND Ethnomusicology with preferably additional studies in Eastern philosophy such as Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism (even if you may be a Chinese native), I won’t take your blanket statement seriously.

Keep in mind that if you are going to make comparative statement, you should at least be explicit in your explaination. What does “theoretical basis” implies?

@Mary, well, I would love to help you more. However, it’s not easy even for me to find sheet music for these Chinese songs. Welcome to share here if your school project research finds some interesting info. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your all information. I’m a Chinese who was born and have been living in overseas. I saw this phoenix crown many times via Chinese/Hong Kong/Taiwanese dramas on domestic & cable TV channels. I was impressed since the first glance but I don’t know what it’s called. Then, I’ve kept searching and found out yours. Thank you again for your long details & beautiful pictures – The bride looks beautiful same as her phoenix crown!
By the way, I don’t have Chinese software on my computer. Could you please give me the pin-in of “phoenix crown”?
