New Yayue
The Analects of Confucius says: "It thrives in poetry, establishes itself in etiquette, and succeeds in music." It emphasizes the educational function of ritual and music as being mutually beneficial, and emphasizes the edifying role of music and dance in people's inner cultivation. The unity of etiquette and music pursues in art the unity of content and form, the unity of reason and emotion, and the unity of ethical concepts and aesthetic intentions. The so-called - "cultivating the righteous and peaceful nature, and shaping the style of a graceful gentleman" is exactly the original intention of Ha Hui, the founder of Xin Ya Le. Ha Hui's new elegant music pioneered my country's classical music. Her music makes people "neutralize their temperament and return to nature and tranquility", bringing a fresh and elegant style to today's music scene. 1. Ritual and Music Culture
"Le" in ancient China refers to the trinity of poetry, music, and dance, which is different from the simple concept of music today. The rulers of the Zhou Dynasty "made rituals and music" in order to use complementary rituals and music to govern the country and the people in order to maintain social order. Because there is an inherent connection between "music" and "ritual". "Li" includes ethical categories such as benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, trust, loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood, and integrity. "Culture of rituals and music" is to enable people to realize harmony within themselves, as well as between people, and between people and society. "Ritual and music" have different functions, and there is a complementary and mutually restrictive relationship between them. 2. New Yayue
New Yayue is not the traditional sacrificial music of the ancient palace, but music that is "quiet, elegant, elegant, and elegant". The "newness" of New Yale is mainly reflected in the two levels of "ideology" and "formal beauty". It inherits Confucius's aesthetic thoughts of "ritual" and "music" and integrates two aspects of humanities - ritual, as a rational form; and music, as a perceptual form. Give the content of "ritual" the form of "music", seek "ritual" with "music", and use "music" to carry "dao". From the perspective of musical aesthetics, it is re-certified, inherited, organized and innovated. And in terms of the functional theory of pre-Qin music, it is sublimated into the understanding and transcendence of the essence of music. It has realized the ingenious transformation and inheritance of the vision of ancient music aesthetics and modern music aesthetics.
New Yale takes ancient Yale as a model, and uses freehand techniques to skillfully integrate abstract classical soul elements or symbols into New Yale, making the ancient Yale "solemn, solemn, elegant and implicit" The beauty of "harmony, purity" can be sublimated and regenerated in New Yale. Its music inner pursuit: the beauty of artistic conception does not stop at the gorgeousness of the form, and is not satisfied with the pleasure of the senses, but focuses on refining and forming the inner meaning of music. Its main essence is the pursuit of the connection with the ancients - "spiritual resemblance" ". Its formal beauty features are as follows: ancient clumsiness and novelty, heavyness and softness are mutually opposed and unified aesthetic form. Its heavy momentum, inner tension, and simple softness are the hallmark of the "big Han style". It can be said that New Yale is the communication and resonance of human spirit for thousands of years. It is modern people's new interpretation and understanding of ancient art. It is also the cultural manifestation of modern people's pursuit of "plain nature, soul seeking roots". It establishes a "divine connection" between ancient music and modern music, ancient people and modern people, allowing modern people to follow the spirit of the sages and ancient saints, inherit the cultural heritage of the nation, and inherit the spirit of the Chinese nation.
The novelty of New Yayue is mainly reflected in four points:
1: Innovation in "artistic aesthetics": such as the combination of the music structure and debugging system of "Guan Ju", the composer Lin Hai The combination of five-beat rhythm and pentatonic mode creates a new classical pop aesthetic. "Wandering Son's Song" uses Lin Haichun's piano accompaniment in the form of music to reflect a wandering boy's nostalgia and affection for his mother, and uses ancient poetry and piano to reproduce Chinese filial piety.
2: Innovation that combines "ideology and artistry": such as: "Tea Fragrance", an artistic expression that integrates "poetry, etiquette, and music", which has created a record in ancient times in terms of today's artistic expression. The artistic expression of "joy". The singer's artistic innovation of "tea chanting", which integrates tea ceremony performance and singing, is the first of its kind in China.
3: Innovation in "visual modeling": such as "Butterfly Love Flower", "Guan Ju" and "Sapphire Case" in music TV, the new ancient charm visual art that combines Chinese style and modern style has given audiences at home and abroad It brings a refreshing visual and aesthetic conception.
4: Inheritance and innovation of "music education": Each new Yayue work carries a "Tao", such as "Li", which promotes the "quietness, purity and respect" of etiquette to the audience. "Elegance" principle. "Confucius Says" inherits and expresses the benevolent spirit of "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust".
"Wandering Son's Song" expresses the love between mother and child in a euphemistic way, expressing the filial piety of ancient Chinese people. "Tea Fragrance" uses the etiquette of tea to embody the Chinese virtues of respecting heaven and loving the people of the Chinese nation. 3. People on the Art Silk Road
A country with etiquette is called Hua, and a country with beautiful clothes is called Xia. I first learned about Hanfu because of it. Ha Hui is a classical music singer, an ambassador for the promotion of Chinese traditional Chinese studies, and is currently developing new music. His early works were mainly folk songs. In 2008, Ha Hui's personal artistic singing style officially transformed from "folk song" to "cross-border classical" singing style. She established the "Chinese Ya Culture and Art Studio" with the aim of producing "elegant, pure, post-classical" art works, using the new artistic concept of "simple elegance" to influence the aesthetic taste of the Chinese people and convey the " Simplicity, elegance and softness” the realm of elegant culture and art. New Yayue orchestrations are combined with Western musical instruments. The musical sound structure has a sonic tone, the modal system has a pentatonic nature, the rhythm arrangement is uneven, the strong beat and the weak beat alternate in cycles, and it absorbs ancient Chinese aesthetic ideas and packages them artistically. There is a kind of elegance, depth, and long charm, which is a kind of soul-stirring and ecstatic beauty that creates a "pure, gentle, solemn, neutral, ethereal, and gentle" feeling for the audience's audio-visual aesthetics. Thus, Achieve good self-cultivation and personality improvement, and achieve the foundation of education that unites the hearts of the people.
Confucian culture is the mother culture of China, and the core of traditional Chinese culture is "ritual". The guiding principle for the artistic creation of New Yale is: in the spiritual background of ritual and music culture, music takes "ritual" as its content. In the process of music transmission of New Yale, listeners can achieve harmony between people and themselves, between people, and between people and society. New Yayue plays the role of inheriting the culture of rituals and music and reviving the spirit of the country of etiquette, allowing more Chinese people to return to the roots of the nation and the spiritual starting point of "benevolence and propriety" in the country of etiquette through New Yale. to unite the souls of Chinese descendants and promote national harmony and unity.
