For classical music.

We can have the following cognitions.

1. Traditional Chinese classical music.

Second, Arabic classical music.

3. Classical music during the European Renaissance.

Chinese classical music has a history of thousands of years, and there are many documents from ancient times.

But the most developed era of Chinese classical music should be the Tang Dynasty.

The classical music of the Tang Dynasty incorporated a lot of Western Region customs. For example, the well-known erhu, sanxian and other musical instruments were actually introduced into the culture of the Han people from the Western Regions at that time. Traditional Chinese music mainly It is represented by flute, flute, guzheng and ancient drum.

Including some classical dances, they all appeared because of the influence of musical instruments.

Chinese music is actually very good in history, but some facts must be explained. The Chinese music was influenced by ancient Taoist culture. Therefore, music is more about pursuing a kind of artistic conception. In other words, the Chinese people’s main need for music is to cultivate their moral character.

All music before the Tang Dynasty was mostly composed of guzheng, liuqin and other strummed instruments, wind instruments and percussion instruments.

I think that Chinese classical music has a very East Asian style in terms of its impact on the world.

Arabic classical music and ancient Indian music are another style that can only be found in the "world".

Most Arabic and Indian classical music is known as dance music.

The main reason is composed of the following conditions. First, West Asian culture and East Asian culture were separated due to the topography of Asia. (The height of the Himalayas prevents a lot of cultural exchanges. People in China do not learn much from the culture of West Asia. West Asia can only learn even less from Chinese culture.)

Second, since ancient Persia invaded the European and African continent, it has accelerated the spread of Persian culture. This is crucial.

Thirdly, the Arab people were nomadic in ancient times, so their need for medium-sized musical instruments such as Chinese guzheng would naturally decrease. On the contrary, musical instruments such as the erhu are more portable, so they are naturally more popular with them. In addition, these people's own personalities are nomadic and more bohemian. Naturally, what is needed in terms of music is a gentle and tough feeling.

All West Asian classical music feels difficult for modern people to adapt to, because modern people’s lives have changed too much, and they must not be the nomads in ancient times. What I want to hear more is a kind of stable and gentle music.

European classical music is a very good art, I really can’t help but want to say this.

There are really countless representative figures of European classical music. Whether it is Mozart or Beethoven, their music is more soulful. Their music is not as confusing as ancient Chinese music. It is not as unrestrained as West Asian music, but a brand new feeling, which is more direct to the realization of life and the comfort of one's own feelings.

And when it comes to musical instruments, it seems that Europeans are also very talented, with strong yet soft pianos, gentle saxophones, elegant violins, and heavy cellos...

It’s really wonderful.

In fact, why European classical music can lead the modern trend is not just about musical instruments and good performers, nor is it a problem of European colonial expansion, but that European music contains a kind of flourishing realism. Feel.

European music expresses people's feelings, which is a feeling of devotion to social stability and the pursuit of the ideal of equality for all.

There are also some European music created for people’s lives, such as "Song of the Wanderer", "Canon", "To Alice"...

< p>For modern people, people are very concerned about living a realistic life. Everyone in the real society will naturally encounter some nails. At this time, you may hope to express your feelings directly. Instead of using Chinese classical music to tactfully resolve your feelings.

From a modern perspective, European music can better help modern people's thinking and be more adaptable to modern people's lives.

In fact, just compare it.

Chinese classical music has a strong Confucian thought, which is based on benevolence and promotes a kind of implicit beauty.

Furthermore, because Chinese classical music has been influenced by Taoism and other sects, it promotes a kind of self-interest. Music mainly revolves around one's own thoughts.

Western Asian music is an expression of nationalism and emotionalism. They pay more attention to short-term happiness rather than stable forever.

European music is a realistic approach. European music focuses on the enjoyment of the crowd rather than the enjoyment of oneself. This can be said to be exactly the opposite of Chinese classical music.

Because the Chinese focus on personal cultivation, this leads to an excessive pursuit of face, which creates a kind of hypocrisy in music.

European music is very close to reality, but European music also has shortcomings. Because European music has a feeling of being too emotionally indulgent. If you ask a person who has received Chinese education since childhood to listen to European classical music, I dare say that he will only be addicted to European music for a short time, but in the long term he will be more willing to listen to Chinese music. Therefore, I think European music is not as listenable as Chinese music.

Actually, my understanding of music is only preliminary. Zhang Yu, you have to work hard.
