Except Western music was invented 5,000 years after this.

The only problem, Asian music never evolved. It always stayed for the most part the same... Western music on the other hand re-vamped everything... Hurdy Gurdy, Piano, Harpsichord, etc.. This is coming from an Asian too :)

@TheWanderingWayfarer It's not a problem. I was only being rude to that one person in the older comments because they were being a musical pseudo-elitist and would not give up even after I clarified immensely for their sake. I was also curt from getting so many comments saying the same thing, which at the time was only about 5 comments down that they could have read. I just noticed this comment so I apologise for reviving this if it bothers you.

@Watermark0n Please, stop talking.

Read the rest of the comments before replying to a 1.8 year old one, there's not that many.

Western music and eastern music were probably invented around the same time. Chinese civilization has a written history of about 3500 years, starting at around 1500 BC. There were perhaps pre-civilizations going back to 3000 BC, at which point we can't say whether or not they had music like this. Western written history goes back to around 500 BC, and I know we had music during the time of the Greeks. So it's more like 1000 years, assuming there was no music before then.

Oh, and I'm not bothering to read all the comments in the past year, so I apologize if I took that top comment out of context and you really meant country/western music rather than music produced in the "West."

[TheWanderingWayfarer]

Beautiful music, by the way.

[TheWanderingWayfarer]

You're wrong about the "Western music was invented 5,000 years after this" bit, mate. The Guqin has a history of 5,000 years as of the current date, but Western music wasn't invented yesterday, or earlier this morning. The West has been making beautiful music at least since Rome, so 3000 years give or take.
