Abstract
The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of Ancient China, especially Chinese music. Because of enhanced international communications, Chinese music has been diffused to adjacent East Asia countries, including Japan. To be specific, this paper mainly takes pipa as an example to explore comparisons and contrasts between Chinese ancient and modern music; Chinese and Japanese musical development; also, in the dynasties of Sui and Tang. In this research paper, Pipa music is the main research object; its history, appearance, and usage are all discussed and compared. The central question is how the differences between Chinese pipa and Japanese pipa happened in history and culture. This paper uses qualitative research and comparing papers on the same topic. Based on this research, Pipa music between the Sui Tang period and the Modern period are different in appearance, sound effects, and grasping manipulations.
