<i>Fengshan—Chai Wang</i>: A Fusion of Epochal Musical Techniques
Abstract This paper presents an exploration of the integration of traditiona Chinese cultural elements, specifically the I Ching and Dunhuang musical scores, with modern music technology through the creation of the interactive electroacoustic music piece Fengshan—Chai Wang. The work employs sonification techniques to convert the “Gu” hexagram from the I Ching into audio, combining these transformed traditional elements with contemporary musical forms. The paper discusses the artistic background, technical implementation, and cross-cultural significance of the piece, emphasizing the balance between tradition and modernity. Through this innovative approach, the study seeks to preserve and systematically develop traditional Chinese music within the context of contemporary electroacoustic composition
