Foreign Communication of Chinese Music Through Transmitting the Spatiotemporal Context of the Old and New Silk Roads: A Modern Approach.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the international communication of Chinese music through the spatiotemporal context of the Old and New Silk Roads. This research builds on an empirical approach using questionnaires that contributed to determining the scope of applying the intercultural Chinese compositions. According to the results of the study, most (80%) Chinese songs written between 2010 and 2019 were written under the influence of Asian culture. The study involved a total number of 175 respondents. Accordingly, the survey revealed that most of the respondents use Chinese compositions written under the influence of other cultures at music competitions and concerts. Consequently, the present research presupposed elaborating the possibilities of exporting Chinese compositions. The survey shows that 79% of respondents consider foreign communication significant because it facilitates the promotion of Chinese music. The present findings can be used by culturologists as a framework for research on foreign musical communication.
