Talk:Guoyue

message: ;hinanzhen's talk about Guoyue from []
The English version of the article talks about revolutionary music, while Chinese version of the article talks about Traditional Chinese music. Search of 國樂 and 国乐 on Google.com and baidu.com both yields sites relating to traditional Chinese music rather than revolutionary music. Thus consider revise title to "Chinese revolutionary music" or such.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.211.246.32 (talk) 21:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:PRCNationalanthemmusic.png

message: It's now fairly established guoyue in the Chinese world means traditional Chinese rather than what's been discussed in the article, and a search on google (guoyue music) indicates, the English use of this of this term isn't widely used to refer to patriotic music as indicated by this article. As there is a request to merge Guoyue with political music in China. So let's merge that and link the Chinese version to Chinese National Music.

replies: text: In Chinese, "guoyue" can mean different things, including the modernized traditional music that this article discusses. Badagnani (talk) 18:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article Historical Chinese anthems‎ and National anthem (China)‎ was merged since they were identical. It seemed trivial to do. Benjwong (talk) 04:43, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Is this Guoyue? 

message: This merge proposal is absolutely wrong because guoyue is not an overtly political music (although its creation and promulgation have undoubtedly had political and propagandistic aspects). In fact, guoyue is primarily instrumental. Overtly political music in China comprises other genres than guoyue. Badagnani (talk) 15:38, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: After reading the section above it is still very unclear what the move being made is?  Benjwong (talk) 04:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I also don't understand why we have an article Political music in China?  Just because it is considered political now does not mean it was political back then.  So I agree with you on that. Benjwong (talk) 06:35, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

text: What you have in mind to fix these pages.  I think I agree with you. Benjwong (talk) 04:07, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal

message: This article is a mess. It needs the content dealing with revolutionary/patriotic songs moved to its own article. 92.40.148.222 (talk) 05:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is a mess in more ways than one. Why does it seem like all the articles on Chinese music have bits added on that are  without any citations, full of opinion, and by someone who doesn't know a thing about modern China. Nevermind silly things like "there are basically two spectrums". "The light end is..." How does that make sense? --67.174.34.210 (talk) 02:47, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

text: This indeed a mess, it seems some of the authors have confused Revolutionary Music (革命音乐）, Patriotic Music （爱国音乐） and National Music (民族音乐） as it is used in China. It could be there be some misunderstanding before China opened up and Gueyue was somehow misused in English and then somehow got stuck.Xingfenzhen (talk) 06:20, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
