Chinese Music dates back to the dawn of Chinese civilization with documents and artifacts providing evidence of a well-developed musical culture as early as the Zhou Dynasty (1122 BC – 256 BC). Today, the music continues a rich traditional heritage in one aspect, while emerging into a more contemporary form at the same time.According to Mencius, a powerful ruler once asked him whether it was moral if he preferred popular music to the classics. The answer was that it only mattered that the ruler love his subjects. The Imperial Music Bureau, first established in the Qin Dynasty (221–07 BC), was greatly expanded under the Emperor Han Wu Di (140–87 BC) and charged with supervising court music and military music and determining what folk music would be officially recognized. In subsequent dynasties, the development of Chinese music was strongly influenced by foreign music, especially Central Asia.The oldest known written music is Youlan or the Solitary Orchid, attributed to Confucius (see guqin article for a sample of tablature). The first major well-documented flowering of Chinese music was for the qin during the Tang Dynasty, though the qin is known to have been played since before the Han Dynasty.In ancient China the position of musicians was much lower than that of painters, though music was seen as central to the harmony and longevity of the state. Almost every emperor took folk songs seriously, sending officers to collect songs to inspect the popular will. One of the Confucianist Classics, Shi Jing (The Classic of Poetry), contained many folk songs dating from 800 BC to about 400 BC.The first European to reach China with a musical instrument was Jesuit priest Matteo Ricci who presented a Harpsichord to the Lee imperial court in 1601, and trained four eunuchs to play it.Dragon DanceThe famous dragon dance with music is also a remembered tradition. It is seen on Chinese New Year across the world by millions. It is not known when the tradition started, but it is believed to be thousands of years ago, as entertainment of former emperors, royals and nobles.Traditional music in China is played on solo instruments or in small ensembles of plucked and bowed stringed instruments, flutes, and various cymbals, gongs, and drums. The scale is pentatonic. Bamboo pipes and qin are among the oldest known musical instruments from China; instruments are traditionally divided into categories based on their material of composition: animal skins, gourd, bamboo, wood, silk, earth/clay, metal and stone. Chinese orchestras traditionally consist of bowed strings, woodwinds, plucked strings and percussion.资料还有很多，这里就不一一复制了，可以去wikipedia的英文版用music of china搜一下

组成部分
“中国音乐”则不仅指古代传承下来的音乐，也指中国人按西方理论创作和改编的音乐。
“中国传统音乐”是指中国人运用本民族固有方法、采取本民族固有形式创造的、具有本民族固有形态特征的音乐，不仅包括在历史上产生、流传至今的古代作品，还包括当代作品。
传统音乐是我国民族音乐中一个极为重要的组成部分，传统音乐与新音乐的区别并不在于创作时间的先后，而是在于其表现形式及风格特征。
传统音乐的划分最早见于中国音乐研究所编写的《民族音乐概论》，分为五大类：歌曲、歌舞音乐、说唱音乐、戏曲和器乐，但大多院校在教学中把歌舞音乐并入民歌，于是就变成四大类：民歌、民族器乐、曲艺（即“说唱”）音乐、戏曲音乐。
