We extend Savage et al.'s music and social bonding hypothesis by examining it in the context of Chinese music. First, top-down functions such as music as political instrument should receive more attention. Second, solo performance can serve as important cues for social identity. Third, a right match between the tones in lyrics and music contributes also to social bonding.
我们通过在中国音乐的背景下检验 Savage 等人的音乐与社交纽带假说，对其进行了扩展。首先，应当更加关注音乐作为政治工具等自上而下的功能。其次，独奏表演可以作为社会认同的重要线索。第三，歌词与音乐的音高之间的正确匹配也有助于建立社会纽带。
