A paper on classical music.

For classical music. We can have the following cognition. First, China's traditional classical music. Second, Arabic classical music. Third, the classical music of the European Renaissance. Chinese classical music has a history of thousands of years, and there are many documents recorded since ancient times. But the most developed era of Chinese classical music should be the Tang Dynasty. The classical music of the Tang Dynasty incorporated many western customs. For example, the well-known erhu, Sanxian and other musical instruments actually entered China culture from the Western Regions at that time, while the traditional music in China mainly showed flute, flute, guzheng and ancient drum. Including some classical dances, are influenced by musical instruments. China's temperament is actually very good in history, but some facts must show that China people were influenced by ancient Taoist culture in music. Therefore, the pursuit of music is more of an artistic conception, that is to say, the main demand of China people for temperament is self-cultivation. Before the Tang Dynasty, most of the music was playing musical instruments, such as guzheng and Qin Liu, as well as wind instruments and percussion instruments. In my opinion, China's classical music is very East Asian in terms of its influence on the world. And Arabic classical music and ancient Indian music are another style that only the "world" can have. Most Arabic and Indian classical music is known as dance music. The main reason is composed of the following conditions. First, West Asian culture and East Asian culture are divided by Asian topography. The height of the Himalayas hinders many cultural exchanges. China people can't learn much from West Asian culture. However, West Asia can only learn less from China culture. Secondly, since ancient Persia invaded Europe and Africa, it has accelerated the spread of Persian culture. This is crucial. Thirdly, the Arab people belonged to nomadic people in ancient times, so the demand for China guzheng and other medium-sized musical instruments will naturally decrease. On the contrary, erhu and other musical instruments are more portable and naturally more popular with them. Coupled with their own personality, these ethnic groups are nomadic and relatively bohemian. Naturally, melody needs a euphemistic and tough feeling. All the classical music in West Asia is difficult for modern people to adapt to, because the life of modern people has changed too much, and it must not be an ancient nomadic people. What I want to hear more is just a stable and gentle piece of music. European classical music is a very good art, I really can't help but want to say the last sentence. There are really countless representatives of European classical music. Whether Mozart or Beethoven, their music is more like the soul. Their music is not as puzzling as China's ancient music, nor as bohemian as Western Asia's music, but a brand-new feeling, which is directly related to life and their own emotional comfort. And in terms of musical instruments, it seems that Europeans are also very talented. The piano, gentle saxophone, elegant violin and heavy cello are really great. In fact, why European classical music can lead the modern trend is not only a question of musical instruments and excellent performers, nor is it a question of European colonial expansion, but that European music contains a growing sense of realism. European music expresses people's feelings about social stability and their pursuit of the ideal of equality for all. There are also some European music written for people's lives, such as Song of a Wanderer, Cannon and To Alice. For modern people, people are very concerned about real life. Everyone is in the real society, and naturally they will encounter some nails. At this time, you may want to express your feelings directly, instead of euphemistically dissolving yourself with Chinese classical music. From a modern point of view, European music seems to help modern people's thinking and adapt to modern people's life. Actually, just compare it. In China's classical music, there is a strong Confucianism, that is, benevolence-oriented, which shows an implicit beauty. Moreover, Chinese classical music, influenced by Taoism and other sects, preaches a kind of pleasure for oneself. Music is mainly born around one's own thoughts. On the other hand, West Asian music is the expression of nationalism and emotionalism. They pay more attention to temporary happiness than stable eternity. On the other hand, European music is a realistic technique. European music pays attention to all kinds of music, not all kinds of music, which can be said to be the opposite of Chinese classical music. Because China people pay attention to personal cultivation, they pursue face too much, resulting in a kind of musical hypocrisy. However, European music is very close to reality, but it also has some shortcomings. Because European music has a feeling of overindulgence. If a person educated in China is allowed to listen to European classical music, I dare say that he will only be addicted to European music for a short time, but he would rather listen to China music for a long time. Therefore, I think the music in Europe is not as good as that in China. In fact, my understanding of music is only preliminary. Yu zhang, please.
