Abstract

The study of music in China has the subjectivity of ontological attribute research, the narrowness of cultural attribute research, and the political nature of social attribute research. Western music history has continued from the ancient Greek period to the 21st century today, in its ontology, culture, society, etc. The dimensions are all maturing, which is in stark contrast to the relatively monotonous music research in China. The paper analyzes the characteristics of Western music historiography, expounds the current research situation of Chinese music, points out the enlightenment of Western music historiography on Chinese music research, and aims to provide a theoretical reference for music research academia.
