Does traditional chinese music use a different form of notation to western music?
Does traditional chinese music use a different form of notation? Western music has treble clef and bass clef etc. to notate music. Do traditional chinese instruments have a different way of notating?
If so, can you post a link of an example or of a link like free-piano-music.com or even a cheap book on amazon, I don't mind I just need an example.
THANKS!

Yes - Traditional Chinese looks like the following link, and is used today for traditional Chinese instruments (Erhu, Yangqin, etc). I have many friends in Chinese orchestra who read music like this.
Numbers are pitches, and other notation is length, slurring, etc.
