Use of Music in China’s Public Diplomacy—Review of the Book“Gun”or“Rose”Music in Public Diplomacy

音乐不仅是一种蕴含情感的艺术,还能蕴含思想和观念。音乐以自己独特的方式承载着一国的政体、价值观、文化特性等,在增强一国政治影响力、塑造国家形象、维护国家利益等方面发挥重要作用。《“枪炮”或“玫瑰”:公共外交中的音乐》(曾琳智著,上海人民出版社,2018年8月出版)一书构建了“音乐外交理论模型”,以中、美、俄三个大国的音乐外交互动作为案例,分析了音乐在公共外交中扮演的“政治先锋”“观念大使”“身份标识”“文化桥梁”角色,对如何将音乐运用于中国公共外交中具有一定的启示意义。

Music is an art of not only emotion,but also thoughts and ideas.Music bears the features of a country’s political system,values and culture in its own unique way,and plays an important role in enhancing a country’s political influence,shaping its image and safeguarding its interests.“Guns”or“Roses”:Music in Public Diplomacy(Zeng Linzhi,Shanghai People's Publishing House,August 2018)presents a“theoretical model of music diplomacy”.Taking music diplomacy interactions among the three major nations—China,the U.S.and Russia as an example,this paper analyzes the roles of“political vanguard”,“concept ambassador”,“identity mark”and“cultural bridge”that music plays in public diplomacy,which offers some enlightenment as to how to use music in China’s public diplomacy.
