What is the place and role of the art of music in social life

Music is the spiritual food of mankind***. Ancient "Jin Shu - music" said: "is to hear the sound of the palace, so that people warm and generous; hear the sound of the Shang, so that people Fanglian and good righteousness; hear the sound of the horn, so that people leaning hidden and love; hear the sound of the micro, so that the music of the people to make good use of the sound; hear the sound of the feather, so that the people thrifty and good manners." This means that the "five tones" in music can grasp the character and behavior of human beings.

Beethoven, the great German musician, believes that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and all philosophy....... Whoever can speak through the meaning of music will be able to transcend the suffering of ordinary people who are unable to pull themselves up. It shows that music has the role of sensitizing, shaping and saving people. When people are engaged in strong physical labor, in order to alleviate their mental burden, they utter "Hang yo! Hi-yo!" especially in collective labor, it is more useful to sing the rhythm to unify the pace and focus of the role. This is how the labor call came into being. Another long duration of repetitive labor, in order to avoid monotony and mental fatigue, people will also naturally send out a variety of songs to spice up the spirit. Such as tea, grazing, rocking the boat, rice-planting, etc., although the rhythm is not necessarily in tune with the labor movement, but because of the singing of the regulation, will make people feel relaxed and reduce the sense of loneliness, a sense of dullness.

When we are very happy, we will sing and dance. When we are very depressed, suddenly a beautiful melody floats to the ear. Troubles and unhappiness immediately dissipate without a trace.

When men and women want to express their love for each other, they will sing from the heart. For example, China's famous violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", to "love each other" as the content of the first movement, leaving a deep impression, the solo flute in the soft strings on the background of the bright, beautiful tune, the oboe played a beautiful and charming melody. It shows a breezy and beautiful scenery of Jiangnan with birdsong and flowers in spring. This is a love theme, which is beautiful and touching, showing the sincere and pure love of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. The cello and violin's sincere repartee describes the scene of the Caoqiao marriage. After that, the orchestra and violin complement each other, making the love theme even more passionate and pleasant. It was passionate, sincere, and honest love song from the heart.

When one's loved ones and friends are far away from one's side, out of sincere longing and expectation of reunion, one puts one's feelings into songs, which is again the origin of most lyrical songs. For example, China's famous lyricist Mr. Wang Liping "camel bells," the use of musical material to depress, deep feelings, want to say but stop sending comrades on the journey of the feelings of farewell depicted to the fullest extent, but also expresses the "half of the night the north wind is cold, all the way to take care of the" comrades of the deep feelings and revolutionary friendship.

In people's collective life, there are often gatherings and activities, such as demonstrations, marching in formation, collective drill and so on. At this time, everyone sings a rhythmic, robust and powerful tone of the song, in order to strengthen the momentum, and sent to the feelings. This is the origin of the military song, marching songs and formation songs.

People in order to spice up the spirit of eating, drinking tea, resting at the same time, listen to relaxing music, so that the spirit of people extraordinarily refreshing and increase the pleasant mood, which is the ancient feast music and today's bars, pubs, coffee bars, one of the reasons for the emergence of. Even in the loss of a loved one, a dear friend or the loss of a beloved thing, in the case of grief, will even cry with singing, can not help but sing, which is a sad song, mourning songs, funeral songs, dirge produced by the origin.

People to tell a story or a vivid plot, often singing, folder white, folder lyrical, folder narrative way to express, which is a long narrative song as well as the origin of the music of the song.

When people's feelings can not be expressed by singing, and borrowed a variety of different instruments, tone, range, playing techniques, etc., beyond the limits of the human voice, and the use of solo, ensemble, concerto and other forms, which is the origin of all instrumental music. The above examples show that life needs to be accompanied by music, and music is an indispensable spiritual tonic in people's lives, as well as people's thoughts and feelings of the artwork, but also one of the components of human spiritual civilization. So it is said, "Where there are human footprints, there is music." It can not only self-entertainment, can also entertain people, but also through the music audio information, to convey the exchange of ideas and feelings between people, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign is not so. Especially the more human evolution, the more development, the complexity of music, meticulous, the more obvious diversity, and most of the music to transcend the boundaries of the national and ethnic groups, ethnical boundaries, in order to human beings *** with the same emotional language characteristics, to carry out the exchange of feelings between each other, especially instrumental music is more so. Because of the "joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, sadness, thoughts, suffering" these emotional attributes, as long as the human being, will have the same perception, as for its depth of how, that depends on the specific works to determine. Even in the musical languages of different nations, the tones are different, but the emotions and temperament are still the same.

Again, from the point of view of the cultivation of human resources in the present society, music still has the role of promoting people's intellectual development. Its main role is to exercise people's imagination through music, the development of thinking ability, the five senses and limbs sensitive and coordinated response quickly, re-imagination and creative thinking enhancement, in the skillful migration, the role of touching the class, so that other disciplines other than music perception and research, also has the function of promoting. For music appreciation, there are also different degrees of promotion of intellectual role, and in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere of natural acquisition. Because when listening to music, the brain will not be blank, there must be all kinds of varied images of activities will be reflected in the mind. Sometimes also with the music, so that people just like the scene, with the sound of the music, within the heart of all kinds of joy, anger, sadness and happiness of the feelings of the fine stream flooded to the heart. The emotional language of this art is very subtle, and it is impossible to describe it with words and language alone. It can be inspired by the title of a star, a rich life association, and follow the title of the revelation, with a more expanded, more extended reimagining factors to "self-explanatory". This kind of imagination from one point to many points, from one line to many lines, that is, creative thinking in music appreciation. And is the image of thinking and logical thinking combined together, is a multi-way thinking, three-dimensional thinking, aesthetic thinking cross together. It is also an advanced thinking activity. When listening to a song, ten songs, a hundred songs ...... after the exercise of people's imagination is enhanced, the way of thinking is active, thinking response is sensitive. In this way, doesn't it make people smart? As the outstanding contemporary scientist Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, drives progress, and is the source of the evolution of knowledge."

Many famous scholars in China and abroad, most of them are music lovers in normal times, or both musician's talent, in the subtle influence of music and art, so that they are in the scientific and academic achievements, with a certain degree of mutual influence. Such as the discoverer of Uranus is the United States William Herschel, he often held concerts in Notre Dame, Paris; such as the French thinker Rousseau, but also wrote a notation and music dictionary, he said: "I am in the achievements of science, many of them are inspired by the music;" more such as Albert Einstein or violinist, Balzac, Gorky they are music lovers.

Then from the music on people's morality, will, character, sentiment, but also in the "with the wind into the night, silent," under the circumstances have an impact. Although, can not be completely like our ancient Confucianism, the role of the art of music on morality expanded to a fairly huge position, as the so-called "music, the virtue of Hua also". "Review the sound and know the music, review the music and know the politics" and so on, but listen to more noble music, will indeed make people's feelings high and pure up, listen to more resonant and majestic sound, will also make people's will be strong up, emotions high up. Because it is a reflection of people's state of mind, of course, yellow, low mood, vulgar music, but also the same will be in the process of subconsciousness, so that people's will to decline, low interest, and even fall into the magic of the thought of the wrong.

The music of the world should be understood in order to broaden horizons and enhance knowledge. Especially after the European Renaissance gradually developed Western music, no matter in the subject matter, composition method, form, genre on the richness and rigor have reached a fairly perfect situation. The construction of technical theory is also quite scientific and systematic. It should be regarded as the cultural heritage of mankind. This should not be taken lightly. For example: the song "Return to Sulianto", "The Devil's King", "Trout", "Flea Song", "Northern Spring", "Volga Boatmen's Song"; solo repertoire: Beethoven (minor melodramatic "Piano Sonata"), (minor "Moonlight" Piano Sonata); Schubert "Waltz", Chambon "Polish Dance", Liszt "Hungarian Rhapsody", orchestral John Strauss "Blue Danube Saint-Sa?ns "Carnival of the Animals", Prokofiev "Peter and the Wolf", Symphony: Beethoven's "Heroes", "Destiny", "Field", Haydn's "D Major No. 104", Schubert's "Eighth Symphony Unfinished"; Opera, Noon Opera: Mozart's "The Marriage of Fegardo", Verdi's "Camelot", Bizet's "Carmen", Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake", these world-famous, popular musical The music of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" has been popular throughout the world. How many generations have been inspired and moved! Every music lover has a **** the same experience, that is: each time you listen to a different feeling, which is the excellent works of these extremely endowed with vitality and infectious force, the reason why the immortal works.

But as a Chinese, we should have a deeper feeling and a wider understanding of our own folk music. China is an ancient cultural country with a history of five thousand years, there are fifty-six nationalities have long cultivated in this piece of land, each created their own splendid culture. Therefore, our country must be more contact with some of their own national music and art in ordinary times, and from the education of their own next generation, so that they grow up under the influence of national music at an early age, which is the specific meaning of patriotism education. This is patriotic education in a concrete sense. Emotionally, we can feel the greatness and depth of our motherland. In the past hundred years through the efforts of many musicians, China's national folk music in the emergence of a number of excellent, Chinese people enjoyable works.

Therefore, in appreciating music, we should listen to both Chinese and Western music, neither can we regard foreign things as good, nor can we regard foreign things as unsuitable for the Chinese people to listen to, and we should worship foreigners and nationalists, both of which are one-sided. But to their own national music and art to pay more attention to some, but it is also a reasonable thing.

In the musical life of the people in ancient China, popular music always existed in large quantities. In ancient times, it was called "fashionable ditty" or "fashionable ditty", and today it is called "popular music" or "popular music". Examples include: "Fifteen Moons", "Island of the Sun", "Night in the Military Harbor", "Mongolian", "Mother in the Candlelight", "Devotion", "Five Star Red Flag", "Seeing Flowers in the Mist", "The Sound of the Waves Remains the Same", "Under the Banyan Tree", as well as the various pop bands, such as "Zero Music Band", "Made by Dancers", "Ariadne", "Dance Man", "Dance Man", "Dance Man", and "Dance Man". "Arirang Group", "Yuquan", "Black Duck Band", "Black Panther ". There are more points of wind surging the world of modern music flow of color, Richard's modern piano music, black singers, Ritchie, Jackson, crazy singers, Madonna, Britney ...... and so on. All of them have become popular with the general public, doubly loved musicians. Popular music is easy to understand, short welding, relaxed and happy, it gives people entertainment, recreation, the role of people's spiritual conditioning is quite prominent. But it also has two major categories: one is popular and the other is vulgar. People who lack artistic cultivation and basic knowledge of music find it difficult to distinguish between them, and the producers of vulgar music also use it to make profits. We can only reach it gradually by strengthening music education, family education and social education, and by improving people's aesthetic taste. The way to do this is to follow the good advice, make the best use of the situation, and replace the vulgar with the healthy one, but the most fundamental thing is to give people the beauty, entertainment and pleasure. People come to listen to music in pursuit of beauty and enjoyment.

Go to actively listen to music, it will make you high character, elegant temperament, will make your life is beautiful and interesting.
