Does music affect your mood?

There is no doubt that music affects people's emotions.

Music was first used by people to express their moods. Through the combination of different sounds and different materials, you can express your feelings. The interaction between people and music is a phenomenon that exists between humans and nature. The pitch of the voice and the speed of the rhythm are all expressions of emotion. Music and psychology are most closely integrated and cannot be separated mechanically.

Ling Lun in ancient China was the ancestor of Chinese music. He used bamboo and leaves to imitate various natural sounds and formulated the rhythm. In China's Five Dynasties, there are five tones of Gong, Shang, Jiao and Zhengyu, similar to 12356 in simplified musical notation, and the pitch of this sound directly represents emotions and feelings. For example, Gongyin is very upright, while the sounds between Jiaoyin and Zhengyin are suitable for expressing encouragement, and the most famous one is Shangyin, which is sad and despairing.

There are three reasons why human beings seek music. The first is to seek the sound of emotions, the second is to seek the catharsis of emotions, and the third is to seek the comfort of emotions. .

So music will definitely affect people’s emotions.

For example, a lonely person, or some soothing and sad music, wants to resonate with the sadness and resentment in his heart. Many of our love songs can have such a resonance. Some songs about missing loneliness, such as some love songs by Jacky Cheung, hit this soft and depressed mood, making people recall and immerse themselves in it for a long time.

For example, a very enthusiastic or depressed person is willing to listen to some cheerful tunes or listen to some fast-paced music to vent his enthusiasm or depression. For example, young people like to listen to DJs. Not only can it show youth, but it can also express oneself and express the romance of youth. A depressed person can express his inner depression through wild songs. For example, some songs by Beyond that everyone is familiar with.

There is also some music, which can make people feel calm and relaxed because it is soothing and clear. For example, some ancient Jiangnan Sizhu music, some aria serenades, and classic lyrical music.

However, the interaction between music and people has a close spiritual and psychological effect, so you must be careful when listening to music.

When you have experienced a major setback in reality, catharsis is one aspect, but don’t indulge too much in sad music. Because sad emotions, if not adjusted in time, may affect your entire body and mind, causing you to constantly reflect on the hurt you have suffered and return to certain hurtful situations, causing secondary or multiple psychological harm. Some people suffer from severe depression because of this. Severe depression can lead to suicide.

Sadness and despair can be contagious when people are vulnerable.

It is precisely because music is closely related to people’s emotions and psychology that when people are extremely sad and depressed, they need to avoid some overly sad music, and people with cardiovascular disease should avoid listening to some music that is too sad. Excessively intense rhythm and loud music may cause physical and mental discomfort and lead to disease.

Music certainly affects my mood. For a while, because I was at an emotional low, I would basically refuse to listen to love songs in order to heal myself. Because the longing and sadness there have no enlightenment and will only make the mood worse and affect normal work and life. And for a period of time, because I was anemic, I was unwilling to listen to music that was too fast because it could easily cause panic.

I believe everyone will have this experience. Music is the spiritual food in our lives, but we must remember one thing, don't be partial to food. Some musicians or actors are unable to detach themselves from music or roles, which leads to some mental illnesses. In terms of talent, we are sure of them, but in terms of life, they are always worthless.
