Abstract

Wu Weixi's book "Universal or National Music? The Chinese Contemporary Musical Thoughts in a Context of Ideology" is a discourse expression and complex cultural psychological mechanism of the beginning of the Chinese modern music system, focusing on the issues of Chinese and Western music in the context of ideology, under the theme of contemplating the music construction of the Chinese modern national imagination. This article uses dialectics to explore the unique features of the book's discourse structure from the perspectives of political history staging structure, preface style, conceptual perspective, and the use of historical materials.
