中國音樂史是以華夏為中心的中國文化，以漢族為中心，同時兼容並蓄於鄰近族群的涵容。「音樂」是它主要的載體，「時間」是其發展的重要動脈，如同一幅綿延不斷的歷史卷軸，環環相互扣連，每一個朝代的音樂形式與風格，皆相互的傳承與影響；音樂史的課程分成兩種形式，一類是以時間的段代為鋪陳，敘述音樂風格與型態的各類發展，「史觀」為其著重的方向，另一類則以音樂型態為分類，論述在時間洪流中的分段衍化與歷史脈絡，「形式觀」則是課程重點，本學期將以這兩種方法論，交叉驗證於中國音樂的形式與風格。
本課程為大學部之學年課程，分為上下學期講授。上學期講授範圍為遠古至隋唐時期的燕樂大曲，下學期講授範圍為宋元明清的戲曲至近代。第一學期課程著重從遠古至隋唐的音樂歷史脈絡的釐清，從物質文化的遺跡中，考述音樂的多元發展，深入淺出地，刻畫春秋至隋唐五代中，中國音樂的流變與演進，最後集大成於兼容語彙之「燕樂大曲」，為即將承接的「戲曲」年代鋪陳備蓄。
第二學期的課程著重於「宋、元、明、清」四個朝代，音樂承接自隋、唐、五代的民歌、曲子與燕樂歌舞等眾多養份，發展至宋朝之後，形式轉往結合多元藝術型態的戲劇，並且越漸成熟、發揚至極，成為中國音樂最重要的標記，例如從民歌類型的中國各地方言與聲腔，結合故事段本和身段動作，逐漸形成地方戲曲，直至今日，成為中國音樂最引人注目的篇章；本課程將深入淺出，探討中國音樂史的各項音樂型類與縱深，以期完整釐清與建立音樂史學的通盤架構和發展。
本課程除了對中國音樂文化的介紹，也將領域擴及至歷史上經由通商或征戰等緣故，與中國交融之東亞、北亞、中亞與東南亞等區域音樂的喜好與了解，企圖完整建立中國音樂的審美進程與層次脈絡，進一步體驗不同社會時代的生活文化與藝術價值。

The history of Chinese music is Chinese culture centered on Huaxia, centered on the Han people, and at the same time inclusive and inclusive of neighboring ethnic groups. "Music" is its main carrier, and "time" is an important artery for its development. It is like a continuous historical scroll, linked to each other. The musical forms and styles of each dynasty inherit and influence each other. The music history course is divided into two forms. One is to lay out the period of time and narrate it. It describes the various developments of music styles and forms, with "historical perspective" as its focus. The other category uses music types as a classification to discuss the segmented evolution and historical context in the flow of time. "Form perspective" is the focus of the course. This semester, these two methodologies will be used to cross-check the form and style of Chinese music.
This course is an academic year course in the undergraduate department and is taught in the first and second semesters. The teaching scope of the first semester is Yanle Daqu from ancient times to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the teaching scope of the next semester is the operas from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties to modern times. The first semester course focuses on clarifying the historical context of music from ancient times to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It examines the diverse development of music from the relics of material culture and describes the changes and evolution of Chinese music from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties in a simple and in-depth manner. Finally, it is compiled into the "Yan Yue Daqu" with a compatible vocabulary, paving the way for the upcoming era of "opera".
The second semester course focuses on the four dynasties of "Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing". Music inherited many elements from the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties folk songs, tunes and Yan music and dances. After the development of the Song Dynasty, the form shifted to drama combining multiple art forms, and became more and more mature and developed to the extreme, becoming the most important symbol of Chinese music. For example, from The folk song genre was composed of various Chinese dialects and tunes, combined with story lines and body movements, and gradually formed local operas. Until today, it has become the most eye-catching chapter of Chinese music. This course will explore various musical types and depths of Chinese music history in a simple and in-depth manner, with a view to completely clarifying and establishing the overall structure and development of music history.

It attempts to completely establish the aesthetic process and hierarchy of Chinese music, and further experience the life culture and artistic value of different social eras.
