The Integration and Development of National Instrumental Music from the Perspective of Multicultural Music Taking Guzheng as an Example

Abstract

Diversified music has deeply influenced the development of Chinese national instrumental music. Taking Guzheng, one of the most representative national musical instruments in China, as an example, this paper discusses the integration and development of multi-cultural music and Chinese national instrumental music. It holds that there are three forms of integration: the first is the integration of melody, the second is the integration of musical instrument shape, and the third is the integration of modern music in the structure of melody. This paper holds that the multi-cultural music has given the Chinese national instrumental music with continuous vitality and creative source, but the Chinese national instrumental music should stick to its own national characteristics in its development, especially the expression of rhyme and the image expression of Chinese music itself.
