title = "Music History and Historiography in the Chinese Context",
abstract = "Abstract Chinese music has a long history, and the sonic features of current musical practices are continuously changing as they are passed from person to person through oral transmission; this is music that represents living traditions. In China—just as elsewhere, undoubtedly—ideologies, histories, and music have been intertwined, and geopolitics have shaped and will continue to shape historical narratives. This chapter advocates the safeguarding of different forms of memory-keeping in music and challenges biases produced in written histories, as they tend to reflect the narratives of the victor, the powerful, and the dogmatic—those who have access to the privilege of discourse.",
