To summarise, the traditional Chinese folk song “Jasmine Flower” clearly reflects the trends of the Chinese culture. The song has basic lyrics that praise jasmine flowers and get repeated several times, throughout the piece keeping it basic and simple. The piece also refers to the pure and true love between a man and a woman in an indirect way. Chinese culture is about a controlled society and this peaceful folk song orientates the listeners to be peaceful and obedient, clearly reflecting the culture of the time. The underlying long notes also assisted in the “smooth continuous” feeling to the piece, again reflecting Chinese culture being peaceful and harmonised. Music inextricably is linked to a counties culture, tradition and political views.
