Axiological grounds of music education in China
The subject of consideration in the article is the relationship of insufficiently researched relationships between two musical and pedagogical cultures - Eastern (represented by Chinese traditional musical culture, reflected in Chinese musical education) and Western musical culture. Traditional Chinese musical culture reflects the axiological ideas of Chinese civilization that developed in ancient times, and containing ideas about the comprehensive harmonious development of the individual. In the spiritual culture of Chinese society, music is presented as the pinnacle of spirituality and an integrative principle, personifying the harmony of nature and man, music is seen as the temporhythmic foundation of social order in Chinese society, opposing the rushing human nature, generating chaotic principles in being. Western music has traditionally been dominated by individualistic principles, the desire to reveal the value foundations of human existence through the prism of cognitive dissonance, through manifestations of individual personal characteristics. It is dominated by rationalism, balance, thoughtfulness and alignment of musical forms, the principles of the "golden section", etc. In contrast to the immersion of Chinese music in nature, pastoral musical works are dominated by idealized constructed metaphorical melodic pictures, revealed through emotionally arranged auditory texts.
