Abstract

Human beings grapple with a wide range of uncertainties and ambiguities in the process of cognition. Fuzzy Philosophy theorizes that there are major changes in the way humans think. Fuzzy Philosophy is also widely used in theorizing about art, such as the fuzzy aesthetics in artistic aesthetics, the fuzzy beauty in music appreciation, and the hazy beauty that all embody Fuzzy Philosophy. This article is inspired by the theory of Fuzzy Philosophy and uses Xiong Xiao’s erhu ensemble’s work called “Opera Mask” as the entry point into analyzing the work’s timbre and sound layout, pitch organization and tonality, unconventional performance and other aspects, revealing elements of fuzzy aesthetic philosophical theory contained in the work. Analysis of this work can provide a useful reference for the creation of contemporary national chamber music and can provide a new way of thinking about the innovation and development of contemporary national chamber music. At present, the creation of contemporary national chamber music no longer occurs in a single, invariable and unified state, but through a multi-innovational, multi-form and multi-level process. In this new and changing situation, Chinese contemporary national chamber music should no longer be limited to a single positioning but should cover multiple aspects of fuzziness. These multiple aspects that characterize a fuzzy creation method are useful for obtaining a larger and wider creative space that will also represent an expansion of creative ideas and methods.
