Music and Ritual in China
Résumé
The relations between music and society in China are already described by the Chinese themselves. Or better say: by some of the Chinese written sources. It is probably better to look at the practices, and especially to the relation between sound, music, and ritual. The three religions, Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, compete and share characteristics, including the differentiation between music and ritual, musical instruments and ritual instruments. But the music is recognized as being able to move from one world to another, from spirituality to entertainment.
