a. Use five adjectives to characterize the Chinese music.
b. What are the different genres of Chinese music and which one do you like the most?
c. How do you compare your favorite Chinese music to the music in the US? How are they similar and different?
d. Traditional Chinese music is very slow, which seemed to match the way Chinese drink tea. Do you see a connection between the culture and music? In what way?
