What is the intrinsic connection between the construction of school aesthetic education programs and campus culture and the importance of folk music and cultural education?

(1) Aesthetic and moral education permeate each other

Any ideological and moral education without an emotional foundation can only become empty sermons, but music education can cultivate a good emotional foundation for moral education. Music does not rely on a forced approach to achieve its ideological education, but relies on the beautiful music itself to produce a subtle effect. For example, the children's song "A penny", through the story of a child handing over a found penny to the police uncle, does not preach but naturally embodies the virtue of picking up money. Excellent musical works can help people form good ideological virtues. For example, the Yellow River Cantata has inspired the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of many people, and the Internationale has aroused the ****productivist spirit of the revolutionaries that "there has never been a savior". It is because of the moral education role of music, the study of outstanding national music can inspire students' national pride and patriotism, love the great mountains and rivers of the motherland. The people who have listened to the guqin song "Flowing Water" are all infected by its tranquil and far-reaching but positive and enterprising national temperament, and the people who have listened to "Man Jiang Hong" are all invigorated by its magnificent patriotic feelings.

(2) Intellectual Education

The ability of music education to promote intellectual development has not only been emphasized by music educators, but has also gradually become a social *** knowledge. The correct music education has a positive effect on the development of students' intelligence. Cultivating a keen sense of music in students will also have a positive effect on their ability to understand and think. For example, if children as young as a few years old learn to play the piano, their coordination and reflexes can be improved, and fetal education, which is now on the rise, is also inseparable from music education's role in enlightening the intellect.

(3) Promoting health through beauty

Beautiful music can promote the healthy development of human body and mind, as well as cure human diseases, and because of this, music therapy, as a new discipline, is developing vigorously all over the world. Zhu Zhenheng, a famous doctor in ancient China, said, "Music is also medicine". Marx also said, "A good mood is better than ten pairs of good medicines in relieving physical fatigue and pain". So, what kind of close relationship does music have with the physical and mental health of human beings? As a matter of fact, in the history of the development of human music, music has always been inseparable from the movement of the human body. The ancient saying that poetry, music and dance are three in one refers precisely to this state of affairs. Many composers have emphasized the close relationship between music and the language of the body or gesture, arguing that, to some extent, music itself is best viewed as an extended gesture, a movement or direction carried out by the body. With such a close relationship between music and movement, it is clear that beautiful music can be beneficial to the physical and mental development of the human being. Why do people who work with music look younger than their peers? There are many reasons for this, one of which is that they are in the midst of the art of music every day, and music has a kind of passionate fitness effect on them.

(4) The aesthetics of cultivating emotions

Any art is a manifestation of human emotions, and music, as the most emotional art, naturally plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating people's noble sentiments and aesthetic interests. When we touch or listen to a piece of music, we are feeling the soul of the composer, perhaps we do not know the reason that triggered the composer to produce such emotion, but we have directly touched his emotion. For example, when we listen to the work "Reflecting the Moon in Two Springs", we can experience the composer's miserable and sad state of mind; and when we listen to the work "Racing Horses", we can experience the composer's joyful and happy feelings. Every excellent musical work has a noble soul. Whether it is Huayanjun's "Reflecting the Moon in Two Springs" or Beethoven's "Destiny" symphony, many noble music, together with appropriate music education, will make people more courageous in the face of difficulties and stronger in the midst of pain. There is no other form of art that stimulates the imagination as much as music, and imagination is the basis of all creativity.
