Open Talk: Chinese Music from the Perspective of Cataloguing<\/h3>\n

Is there a “good” or “bad” in music?
\nAlso, is there such a thing as “correct” music and “wrong” music?
\nIn the past, Chinese people expressed their image of scholarship by classifying books. Music was regarded by scholars who were responsible for Confucianism as one of the disciplines of the “Four Books and Five Scriptures,” but there was music that suited their ideals and music that did not. The Confucians come to make a clear distinction between music books that discuss the former and those that do not.<\/p>\n

In this open talk, I will draw an image of the music of each era from the Chinese bibliography of successive generations. And I would like to approach the question of “what is music” by comparing what kind of music discussed in Confucianism is and comparing it with the music we imagine.<\/p>\n
