But the notation is "simple" after all, and many musical theories can't be expressed, so the staff is still popular internationally.
"Numeric notation" was introduced to China around 194, and its birthplace was in Paris, France, Europe. It was invented by Catholic monks more than 3 years ago, and it was used to bring disciples to sing scriptures. They called it singing hymns. The monk (Suetti, 1665) wrote a musical score teaching song with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 representing seven sounds because it was difficult for some lower-level believers to learn the complicated "score", which was very effective and was received by the Pope at that time. Then he wrote a pamphlet entitled "A New Way to Learn plainsong and Music"
"Numeric notation" to record music with numbers instead of notes, which was not complete. Since then, it has been shelved and ignored in France for more than 7 years. Unexpectedly, a Swiss named Rousseau (1712-1778) entered the church choir at the age of 17. In 1742, he read a paper "Proposal for New Musical Symbols" to the Academy of Sciences in Paris, France, and then mentioned this "digital notation". In fact, the "new symbols" were not new. Suetti experimented earlier than 7 years. Rousseau lost his mother when he was young, and his father remarried. His life was hard. He had five children, but he gave them away one by one. In his later years, he regretted it and wrote Confessions, but his reputation increased greatly. As soon as people become famous, books are also famous, and the Proposal for New Musical Symbols has also been taken seriously.
Since then, a group of French musicians, doctors, mathematicians, etc. have sorted out and perfected the notation of numbers. In 1882, this notation was introduced to Japan, and in 194, it was introduced to China by Shen Xingong and others.
At that time, "Staff" was introduced to China long ago, but it was difficult to popularize because it was too complicated and abstruse. In China, domestic troubles and foreign invasion were everywhere, and the imperial examinations were abolished, new studies were held, and music classes were offered. The "Digital Staff" was even more quickly spread, and then it was chosen by school music education.
from 194 to 1976, we gave up the "staff" and chose the "digital notation" in our cultural popularization education in primary and secondary schools, which may be related to our excessive pursuit of popularization and popularization of singing, as well as to the chaotic national conditions. For a period of time, in the era of "making revolution without learning A B C" and "being more reactionary with more knowledge", China has become widespread.
Let's take a look at foreign countries. Just when our country has become a "digital notation" world, the staff has long been widely adopted by all countries in the world because of its perfection and science. Japanese primary and secondary schools changed to the "staff" education as soon as they entered the 2th century, and even primary and secondary schools in Taiwan Province, Hong Kong used the staff teaching materials in a unified way. However, fortunately, the music textbook in our country was later changed to staff teaching.
"Staff" has long been a common international language in the music industry, so it is of course necessary to learn the most perfect one ~
