Title:
The Most Beautiful Harmony: A New Path for International Communication of Chinese Stories: An Examination of International Student Choirs
Abstracts:
In the context of globalization, the shaping and dissemination of national image is the key to measuring the soft power of a country and an important aspect of international exchange. With the increase of international exchanges, the traditional way of national image communication is developing towards diversification and innovation. Taking the “Cloud” choir as an example, this study explores how the choir spreads China's story through music and Chinese singing, and becomes a new platform for cross-cultural exchanges and national image dissemination. Using case studies and content analysis, the study combines theories of communication, cross-cultural communication and social identity to analyze how the choir presents Chinese stories to the international community visually and emotionally through music. The study finds that the choir, as a platform for cross-cultural communication, promotes the cultural adaptation and identity of international students and enhances their understanding of China through musical art and emotional expression. By utilizing the “music + Chinese” model, the choir successfully portrayed the image of China and aroused emotional resonance through original stories and multimodal narratives. The study also points out that choirs should adjust their performance strategies according to different cultural environments, and utilize VR, AR, AI and other technologies to enhance the effect of cultural communication. In the era of globalization, international student choirs not only promote cross-cultural exchanges, but also contribute to the building of a community of human destiny and the international recognition of the national image, demonstrating the innovative and diversified nature of China's national image communication.
