The picture is too large, but it took me quite a while to figure out how to scan it so I'm proud of finally succeeding anyway... Why is it on the bottom, though? I cut-and-pasted the image format from Cronus because I wanted a caption like that, and the picture there is where it should be. Tuf-Kat 23:25, Jan 13, 2004 (UTC)
Doesn't anyone know anything about Chinese hip hop?
Where should the fish-drum/pao pei, go? --Guthrie 15:17, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Under "instrumentation" would be fine. Tuf-Kat 22:09, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] heavy metal is too noisy here
I suggest a new page be opened about Chinese modern or contemporary music, as the heavy metal part seems much too big in comparison of the part dedicated to classical music. Besides, it's written without style conventions...) Mokarider 11:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- Chinese ethnic minorities music and contemporary Chinese music ought to be broken off from here. Agreed. Mandel 00:12, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree that this article is very poorly balanced, but the solution is to use wikipedia:Summary style to offer only a brief overview of all the fields of Chinese music, classical and modern. Tuf-Kat 02:22, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- The Tibetan music section needs to be cut down so it is roughly the same size as the other sections. Besides, most of what is written should be in the separate article anyways. --CharlieHuang 20:50, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Qin players in Instrumental music, Ethnic Han music
Instrumental pieces played on an erhu or dizi are popular, and are often available outside of China, but qin, pipa and zheng music, which is more traditional, are more popular in China itself. The qin is perhaps the national instrument of China, and its virtuosos are stars. I think this is not really accurate, most people in China don't even know what a qin(guqin) is, let alone qin players. LDHan 12:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- Agree. Highly speculative; in fact, not true at all. The qin is a revered instrument, you can claim that, but not a 'national instrument'. For that, it has to be recognised by 90% of the population, which it is hardly. --Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 19:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of music for "Chinese motif"
I am desperately looking for the history of a particular short musical phrase that is used to represent "Chinese"-ness, or Asian culture in general. I've seen it referenced in cartoons, stand-up comedy, and in the popular song Kung Fu Fighting.
I've uploaded a short audio file of the musical phrase in question: Image:ChineseMotif1.ogg
What is the origin of this phrase? Who first composed it? How did it come to be the quintessential chinese-stereotypical music. Does it have any actual connection whatsoever to genuine Chinese music, or is it just a western invention? -Alecmconroy 01:15, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template from Chinese music stubs
{{cn-music-stub}}
We can use this for stubbing rather than the {{music-stub}} or the {{music-genre-stub}}. --Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 10:10, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- I think {{china-music-stub}} would be better choice for stub name. Monni 12:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
