中国、蒙古、土耳其、中亚被西方音乐学家称之为“五声音阶大中心”。但是,在这个中心内,同在五声调式框架下,不同民族、不同地域的人们创造的五声旋律却是千姿百态,呈现出多样化的音乐风格。这是因为“调式是音乐思维的重要基础,但调式逻辑对旋律构成来讲只不过是制约音活动的基本规律,这规律并不能代替或者完全说明具体在音乐中的风格特征,因为在这同一基本规律上可以产生种种风格不同的音乐”。 China, Mongolia, Turkey and Central Asia are referred to by western musicologists as the “pentatomic center”. However, within this center, with the five-tone framework, the five melodies created by people of different nationalities and geographies are in different poses and with different musical styles. This is because “modulation is an important basis for musical thinking, but the modulation logic for the composition of the melody is only the basic law restricting the activity of sound, this law does not replace or fully explain the specific stylistic features in music, because here The same basic law can produce a variety of different styles of music ”.
