Research on the Cross-cultural Narrative Effect of Traditional Chinese Music

As an important component of fine traditional Chinese culture, promoting cross-cultural communication of traditional music is the theme of the “Culture Going-Out” Strategy. This paper introduces narrative theory into the cross-cultural communication of traditional Chinese music and separates five paradigms of its overseas narrative: Japan’s geographical relationship dimension, South Korea’s cultural trade dimension, Southeast Asia’s historical immigration dimension, the United States’ political security dimension, and Italy’s cultural sharing dimension. It also puts forward suggestions for reconstructing the cross-cultural narrative system of traditional Chinese music based on the analysis of the relationship between the narrative subject, narrative strategy, narrative discourse and narrative effect.
