楚国音乐交流考

Musical Exchange in the State of Chu

楚国是南方的民族融合中心,楚国音乐亦表现出了民族性和融合性的特点。楚国音乐文化接受、吸纳华夏民族的礼乐文化,与中原地区、东南和西南地区以及东南亚乃至于欧洲国家都有密切的联系,促进了北方中原文化与南方地域文化的交流、融合与传承。

The state of Chu was a place where various ethnic groups mixed together, so the music there was characterized by an amalgamation of different musical elements. On the other hand, the people of Chu also promoted musical exchange with the Central Plains in the north, the southeast and the southwest regions in the mainland of China as well as Southeast Asia and European countries.
