The study employs a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including the analysis of pertinent policies, scrutiny of film and television productions, exploration of specialized programs, and inquiry into the viewpoints and approaches of experts in the field of traditional Chinese music instruction. This study seeks to investigate the research topics to provide insights into the dynamics and influence of Chinese ancient music in contemporary music.
