Chaos and Fractal in Chinese Traditional Music Texts and Its Inheritance

Abstract

The uncertainty in Chinese traditional music texts has made it possible to inherit the music texts flexibly and creatively. Contemporary information philosophy and complex information system theories reveal the complexity, diversity and ambiguity of human cognition, providing a philosophical and scientific methodology for analyzing complexity issues in different fields. Based on studies on information philosophy and complex information system theories, this paper will discuss Xi’an Drum Music texts and the complex information in its inheritance in order to analyze the significance of uncertainty in inheriting Chinese traditional music.
