THE STUDY OF THE CROSS-CULTURAL DIALOGUE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL SOUTHEAST ASIAN AND CHINESE MUSIC IN THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE CONTEXT

Abstract

In order to advance global development, the Belt and Road initiative seeks to foster connectivity, economic cooperation, and cultural exchanges between the countries along its route. The rapid growth of traditional music from Southeast Asia within China has emerged as a significant focal point for the Belt and Road initiative. Music, as a form of global cultural expression, possesses a unique allure and impact, and extensively employed in intercultural discourse. This dissertation employed "China-ASEAN Music Week" as a case study to examine the cultural interaction, communication channels, and influence of Southeast Asian traditional music within this particular context. This study aims to enhance our comprehension of the transmission mechanism of Southeast Asian traditional music in Nanning, Guangxi, as well as its impact on the region's cultural diversity. It will contribute significantly to our knowledge of cross-cultural exchanges, the preservation and evolution of traditional music culture, and the aforementioned topics. The research scope of this study is comprised of two components: the initial part examines texts to provide a summary of prior research; the subsequent part investigates individuals, which is the central theme of this article; and the conclusions derived from this investigation also served as points of innovation for this study. The performance activities and academic cultural exchanges of Southeast Asian traditional music culture during the eleventh China-ASEAN Music Week were within the scope of this research. Insight was gained into the significance of cross-cultural communication and the function of Southeast Asian traditional music during China-ASEAN Music Week by examining the perspectives of the event's organizers, performers, and audiences.
