Liu Dongsheng And Chinese Music Iconograph

Liu Dongsheng,a researcher at the Music Research Institute of the China Academy of Arts,and one of the pioneers of Chinese music iconography,has made fruitful achievements in the fields of music history and music iconography.Following the academic experience of Yang Yinliu,Li Yuanqing and other academic predecessors in the early years,Liu Dongsheng edited the "Illustrated Book of Chinese Music History" and "Illustrated Book of Chinese Musical Instruments",which made music iconography,Chinese music history,and Chinese musical instruments the earliest disciplines that reflected the advantages of iconography.It is the place where Liu Dongsheng has the most outstanding achievements in contemporary Chinese academic history.From the end of the 20 th century to the 21 st century,the music book that really went abroad as "Chinese culture going abroad" was the "Illustrated Guide to the History of Chinese Music" edited by Liu Dongsheng.This picture dictionary,which has been translated into several languages(German,Japanese,Korean),has become the only tome that can be obtained in the Chinese music publishing industry.Anyone can understand the image,and it is easier to resonate with readers all over the world than the content that cannot be explained in a thousand words.In this sense,the low-key scholar,who tried to be low-key,sang the strongest song of the era.The catalogue he edited not only promoted Chinese music culture,but also made music iconography a fully functional language that does not require much language.A hard-hitting picture book that expresses the Chinese spirit.
