Abstract

Traditional Chinese music has a deep indigenous color and has its own unique way of thinking and characteristics. A consensus has already been formed that linear thinking is a major feature of traditional Chinese music, and it has been implemented in both traditional multi-tone and single-tone music. It is mainly expressed in the form of single-tone music or single-tone music. This linear thought of traditional Chinese music is formed by influencing factors in various fields. For example, it is related to national culture, geographical and natural environment, religious and philosophical background, traditional Chinese notation, individual characteristics of traditional musical instruments, Yulje, composition, and transmission methods. This thinking is different from Western classical music that pursues three-dimensional thinking, and Western music emphasizes the harmony of harmony, harmony of tone and texture, logic and identity of structure, and emphasizes the aspect of space. However, traditional Chinese music emphasizes the horizontal development of melody, the fluency of ancestors, and the continuity of structure. We aims to analyze the causes of linear thinking of traditional Chinese music so that it can be more useful in educational aspects and promote the succession and development of traditional music by transferring knowledge of ethnic music.

중국 전통음악은 토착색이 짙고 자신만의 독특한 사고방식과 특징을 갖고 있다. 선형적 사유는 중국 전통음악의 주요 특징이라는 공감대가 이미 형성되어 각종 전통 다성부(多聲部)·단성부(單聲部) 음악 모두에 구현되었다. 주로 단선율(單旋律) 혹은 단음 음악의 형태로 표현된다. 이러한 중국 전통음악의 선형적 사유는 여러 방면의 요인에 의해 영향을 받아 형성된다. 예를 들어 민족 문화, 지리적 자연환경, 종교철학적 배경, 중국 전통 기보법(記譜法), 전통 악기의 개성적 특성, 율제(律制), 조성(調性) 및 전승방식 등과 관련 있다. 이러한 사유는 입체적 사유를 추구하는 서양 고전음악과 다른 측면이 있는데, 서양음악은 화음의 화합성, 음색 및 텍스쳐의 조화성, 구조의 논리성 및 정체성 등을 중시하며 공간의 종횡적 결합을 강조한다. 그러나 중국 전통음악은 선율의 수평적 발전, 선조의 유창함, 구조의 연속성 등을 중시한다. 우리는 본 논문에서 중국 전통음악의 선형적 사유의 원인을 분석하여 교육적 측면에 더욱 유용하게 활용할 수 있도록 하고 민족음악에 대한 지식을 전수하여 전통음악의 계승과 발전을 촉진하고자 한다.
