China's traditional music gives people the impression that it is relatively introverted and the expression of feelings is relatively implicit, and there is no emotional catharsis like that in western music. This is closely related to the traditional culture of China and the long-standing character of China people. Of course, oriental music and western music are two completely different systems, and it is impossible to compare their advantages and disadvantages. In fact, China's traditional music is profound and profound. As a treasure of Chinese culture, it should be passed down from generation to generation. However, due to the times, at present, China's traditional music is not easily accepted by most people in China and the world. Western music has been developing, so does our national music. It is necessary to learn from others and absorb the advantages of western music. Moreover, it is necessary to adopt a form that can be accepted by the public and does not fall into the stereotype, so that our folk music can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is much stronger than making folk music something that a few people "study".
Here I think of the popular "12 girls band". To be sure, the packaging is very good visually, which makes people look comfortable, but it seems to lack a lot in music. I have listened to some of their songs, but I haven't listened to them for the second time after listening to them once. Several songs are basically adapted melodies of folk music with R&; B, the rhythm of rock or dance music, and even the elements of imitation, feel like folk music is hard covered with the shell of western music, some of which are neither fish nor fowl, and the arrangement of music is also very noisy, kitsch and too commercial. Our folk music reform should not be like this.
China's folk music is still going to the world, and Song Zu Ying is a good example. She brought China's folk music to the Vienna Golden Hall, Sydney Opera House and Kennedy Music Center, and made it popular in Europe, Australia and America, letting people around the world know about China's folk music and teaching westerners how to play authentic China music with western instruments.
So, music knows no borders. The more national it is, the more cosmopolitan it is.
