Early music was actually some nice sounds, rhythmic sounds made by stone tools, bronzes, etc. With the advancement of music theory and the enrichment of musical methods, music became more and more beautiful. The forms of music are becoming more and more abundant, but people's understanding of the essence of music is becoming more and more blurred. What does the beauty of music come from? It comes from the impact on your hearing, which in turn turns into an impact on your emotions. The beauty of music most fundamentally comes from your feelings, an emotional feeling. The most typical example is a scene from a horror movie, paired with tense music, the audience has a premonition that something bad is about to happen; paired with soothing music, the audience just treats it as an ordinary life scene. The most common thing is to confuse music with literature. Early music has no title. Later generations can only label it as XX Concerto No. XX. When listening to music, you can imagine it into various scenes, but you can also You don’t have to make any imagination, just think it sounds good, that’s enough. Later, Liszt invented the form of symphonic poetry, music began to be combined with literature, and the composer began to force you to imagine what kind of scene his music would be. In fact, there is no problem in imagining a lot of music in any way you want. Many people listen to a certain song just because they think the lyrics are good. I can only call these people pseudo-music lovers. The most important thing in music is melody and rhythm. Music forms such as jazz, rock and RAP have emerged based on unique rhythms. But among these music, the music with beautiful melody is ultimately the one that will last forever, so melody is the soul of music. Of course, rhythm has an impact on melody. For example, the current sad music is actually an adaptation of a Shaanxi folk song. The melody has not changed, but the rhythm has become heavier, creating a sad atmosphere. What kind of music a person likes is often related to his personality, the upbringing he has received, and the environment of the times. In fact, everyone can listen to good sounds, but many times we often exclude other forms of music, just like eating, We often can only accept the tastes we were used to when we were children. The fact that we are picky eaters does not mean that the food is not delicious, it is just that we are not used to it and have not tried it. The mainstream art forms recognized in the world are mainly literature, art, and music. In addition, film and television can be regarded as a combination of these three art forms, but literature is the main focus. Among the three major art forms, literature is the most geographically restricted. It is difficult for literature to cross national borders. Countries often highly respect their own writers, but find it difficult to understand the literary works of other countries. Just like Shakespeare, we have called him great for many years, but how many people have Having read his works, not to mention the likes of Proust and Kafka, we only know his name and often cannot read a page of his works; conversely, once the Tang poetry and Song lyrics that we are proud of are translated into foreign languages It turned out to be as boring as a children's song. Jin Yong, who was popular in the Chinese circle, was indifferent to foreigners after watching it. Zhang Yimou's movies are more acceptable to foreigners because of his pictures. If he had shot Chinese urban life, it would be difficult for him to get so many honors, so when it comes to literature Breaking through localization is very difficult. Early art was restricted by geography, and each region formed its own traditional style, such as Western oil painting, Chinese splash ink, and South Asia's colorful paintings. But art is a visual art after all. It is easy to understand at a glance. However, it can be borrowed from, but it is completely copied from all ethnic groups. Neither can be done. After all, it is not easy to abandon the visual habits formed over thousands of years. However, modern visual arts are converging with globalization, abandoning complexity and transforming into simple styles, pursuing large lines and good texture. But art has a shortcoming, that is, it is static art and cannot make people excited. Music is the most exciting art, and music is the true world language. We can listen to music from China, Russia, the United States, and France, and we don’t even need to care about which country it comes from. In a word, it just sounds good. But it is very regrettable that music has always been a shortcoming in Chinese art. Especially from the perspective of Chinese history, music has never existed as an independent art form. Think about the following reasons: Why is music said to be the representative of ancient Chinese art? Shortcomings 1. For thousands of years, China has emphasized that art serves politics, suppressing individuality and suppressing passion. Music is precisely an art form that requires individuality and passion. This has also resulted in the lack of soil for the growth of music in Chinese society for a long time. 2． Ancient music mainly served sacrifices and rituals, and has never been independent as a specialized art form. Because of this function of music, ancient Chinese musical instruments paid more attention to pitch, such as the tinkling box or the tinkling box. The body is on the small side, and the bass is generally not rich enough, which also causes ethnic instruments to always sound sharp and harsh.

Of course, music in Western society initially served religion, but eventually became independent and flourished as a specialized art form. 3. Musicians, like other artists, are regarded as extremely despicable professions and are commonly known as actors. Many talented people are unwilling to get involved in this industry. Official career is the only right path, and writing rubbish eight-part essays is considered elegant. This is completely different from European countries where everyone loves music and audio-visual music is elegant. 4. The Han people are an introverted and reserved people, and the label of being good at singing and dancing cannot be associated with the Han people in any way. Even in our current so-called national music, the music of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Yunnan also accounts for a large proportion. If we count our most influential works in the world, they are nothing more than "Butterfly Lovers", "Er Quan Yinyue Yue", and "Jasmine". 5. Music has always been an accessory to literature. Song lyrics and Yuan music are fixed tunes, and literati and poets filled in the lyrics. However, those tunes are rarely listened to and hummed. I think the main reason is that they are unpleasant to listen to. 6. Since there are very few Chinese people who engage in music, music theory is naturally not advanced. The five tones of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu lack semitones, the timbre is not full enough, and the changes are not rich enough. Of course, some historian will speak out. , China has long had the Law of Equals, just like China has been saying that we invented football to satisfy vanity. To use a now fashionable saying: Technology has not been transformed into productivity, it can only be a show.
