Research paper proposal
My research paper topic would be the research of ancient art music of China. I chose this topic because I feel most connected to Chinese music as a Chinese. I have always been most curious of the histories of my homeland. Ancient China’s music culture can go back to 7-8000 years ago, based on the discovery of a bone flute made in the Neolithic Age. I am going to write about when, where, how, and what the Chinese music culture has passed down through history for the past few thousand years, I am going to do so by doing a lot of research online and outside.
