东西方音乐的差异性与文明对话

Difference between Eastern and Western Music and the Dialogue between Civilizations

长期以来,东西方音乐的差异性关系被拟定为"落后"与"先进"的关系,这使得双方不能平等对话。中国、印度、阿拉伯同属东方文明,哲学(包括宗教哲学)与语言是文明精神与思维方式的核心价值所在。在东西方哲学系统关照下,东西音乐本体观、音乐语言观、音乐类型及历史的建构属于不同文明体系中的建构。未来世界音乐的发展,有赖于东西方音乐文明的互识、互动,以对话达到相互认同。

The article analyses several aspects of the difference between Eastern and Western civilization,including such concepts as music itself,its language,types and history.Then it further proposes the dialogue between different civilizations.In the opinion of the author,Eastern music should use its own language for the East-West mutual recognition,interpretation and complementation.
