Speaking of the origin of music. The origin of music can be divided into: the origin of labor, the origin of witchcraft, etc. ~ ~ (for several miles, I forgot ~~)
The origin of labor, that is to say, in order to unify the orders during labor, ancient humans formulated certain slogans and gradually evolved into songs. There are still remnants of this, such as labor songs, which still exist.
the origin of witchcraft, that is to say, when the ancients were offering sacrifices and praying, they mumbled incantations and other songs that eventually evolved into songs, and there are still remnants of this Yunnan minority.
but since we talk about songs, we can't hold on to the broken bowls of the ancients, right? . . We should understand the meaning of "song" from our own perspective.
I think today, the development of songs has been completely divorced from the practical significance of labor sacrifice in those days, and has been sublimated into the category of art. But because it doesn't have a clear definition, it can be done by everyone and belongs to a popular art. It is nothing more than expressing personal feelings. The ancients said: "Poetry is to chant ambition, and songs are to chant words" is this truth. Singers use songs to express their inner feelings, either joy, sadness, loneliness, pride, love for someone, or anger at the social darkness. . . . And so on, are all to express personal feelings, in a more artistic form, to explain personal understanding of music.
people who listen to songs are looking for similarities between songs and their own feelings in the process of listening to songs again, so as to gain a sense of belonging and identity, thus achieving the function of venting their feelings. Of course, my theories yell at those people who turn on their mobile phones in the street, thinking that the broken sound quality that is similar to noise is music, and that that kind of behavior is to love music. People who understand music are useless. My feelings are undoubtedly casting pearls before swine for those who only talk about a few limited idol stars every day and think that the commercialized moaning is music.
since you can ask such a question, it shows that you have a feeling and pursuit for music. I wonder if your understanding of music is similar to mine? The above views are only my personal views, and the theory of one family is not sufficient. I believe that you will gradually develop your own unique understanding of the meaning of "music" in the continuous exploration of the road to music. My answer is only here, for reference only ~ ~ ~
