? China is known as the "Land of Ritual and Music". Over the past five thousand years, Chinese music has continued to develop in the long history of history and has long formed a strong "Chinese flavor". In the continuous collision and discussion of multiple cultures, we finally formed the cultural confidence of the nation.
? I remember that in 2018, a program called "Classic Chant and Spread" was extremely popular, and what it did was to combine traditional classic poetry with new era pop music to recreate current popular classics. I think a show like this is exactly what we want to see and exactly what we need. On the one hand, the program uses today's popular music to re-create Tang poetry and Song lyrics; on the other hand, the program also deeply explores the rich connotations behind the poems, interprets their profound thoughts, traces the roots of modern civilization, and establishes cultural confidence.
? I believe everyone is familiar with the name JayChou. As a representative figure of modern Chinese pop music, Jay Chou's influence is self-evident. In the United States, many black people compare Jay Chou to the famous American rapper Jay-Z, and even use his songs to learn Chinese; what is even more exaggerated is that in Japan, the lyrics of Jay Chou's "Hair Like Snow" have even been incorporated into Chinese textbooks. Jay Chou's lyrics themselves have rich Chinese elements, such as "Blue and White Porcelain", "Orchid Pavilion Preface", "East Wind Breaks", "Qili Xiang", etc. If you search the Internet, you will find that there are scores of classic Chinese folk music played with Western instruments on major websites, such as the guitar fingerstyle score of "Er Fountain Reflects the Moon", the piano score of "Fishing Boats Sing Evening", etc.
? It can be seen that Chinese music now has a higher status in the world. This rise in unquestionable status gives us more confidence to talk about cultural self-confidence.
After listening to music from different countries, I love the rich "Chinese flavor" embodied in Chinese music even more. Music only accounts for a small part of multiculturalism, not to mention the various cultures handed down from China's five thousand years of history. They are so wonderful that they deserve our appreciation. More importantly, we have found a sense of national cultural belonging in multiculturalism, thereby achieving cultural identity and building cultural confidence. This is probably the greatest achievement of Chinese music.
? In the discussion between Chinese music and international diverse styles of music, unique, brilliant and fiery sparks have emerged. What's even more surprising is that I discovered a novel perspective and understood a profound truth - only by understanding different types of music from different countries can we better appreciate the charm of Chinese music and feel it more deeply The unique flavor of Chinese music. The correct method and attitude towards understanding things are invariable in nature. Only in this way can we not be one-sided or generalize.
? The charm of Chinese music made me feel cultural confidence and helped me discover a better perspective on things. Come to think of it, Chinese music can be said to have achieved extremely high levels of achievement.
