Interpretation

It seems that gentlemen and ordinary people listen to music differently. What ordinary people think about is food, salt, firewood and rice. When they listen to music, they feel happy. Whatever they hear is what they hear. When the music stops, it stops. Gentlemen are different. They have national affairs and the ideal of governing the country and the world in their hearts, and they always think about being a noble person. Therefore, when they hear music, they will associate it with governance, politics, and morality, and they will experience the idea of ????ruling the country and bringing peace to the world. reason.

Revolutionary teacher Marx once said that for ears that do not understand music, no matter how beautiful the music is, it is meaningless. This is a good statement. Listening to music does require cultivation, well-trained ears and brain. The difference between gentlemen and ordinary people is also reflected in this point. Gentlemen have the opportunity to receive good education and nurturing, but common people do not. Therefore, music that is meaningful to gentlemen has no meaning to common people.

On another level, what can be heard from the music also depends on the listener’s life experience, experience and thoughts. Compared with ordinary people, gentlemen can read and understand science, travel around the world, and visit the court. Their experiences, experiences, and thoughts are naturally much richer than those of ordinary people, and they can hear much more things from music.

This principle applies not only to the appreciation of music, but also to the appreciation of other arts. Appreciators perform appreciation activities from the starting point of their own professional cultivation level and life experience, and they must be limited by this starting point to give their appreciation a personal touch.
