註釋The question "what is Chinese music?" has often been asked but the answer is not easy to give. With a history which spans over many thousand years, Chinese music has undergone considerable changes due to racial interaction as a result of wars and conquests. Many books have been written on the subject but they tend to cater to specialists and do not reach the general public. Hence the need for the present volume. The book is designed as a general description, supported by recent discoveries and research. Anecdotes, poems and numerous illustrations are used so that the book not only gives the reader an idea of what Chinese music is but also how it is related to its culture, literature and art. Combining the technical with the literary and artistic is not an easy task. The risk is that the result may be too technical for the layman and not learned enough for the specialist. It is hoped, however, that the reader will find here something informative as well as entertaining.
