Study on the Development of Music and Multi-Ethnic Integration in Southwest China
Abstract
Southwest China, with unique geography and historical role as a "corridor" for multi-ethnic migration, forms a distinctive musical culture. Taking history as the axis, this paper views it as a "musical melting pot" to explore music development and integration. Its music history is not linear but "relational" centered on "integration", driven by state governance, ethnic migration, commerce and religion. Sorting this out deepens understanding of China’s pluralistic music pattern and enlightens contemporary music development.
