Classical music generally refers to foreign countries. Is there any classical music in China?

Do you know anything about Chinese classical music? After the vicissitudes of the times, Chinese classical music still touches our souls unconsciously. In the eternal sunshine, it spans time and space, and its melodious echo is still as classic, eternal, warm and romantic as a diamond.

Music played by folk music such as guzheng, flute, erhu, pipa and drum. Flowing out of your speaker in an instant, you can clearly feel that the mountains, water and leaves flowing in the air are all snow in winter ... It is an indescribable and inexhaustible emotion in life through the ages, and it is the beauty of Chinese classical music that you have never experienced.

When did China music begin? This question is difficult to determine. According to ancient records, when Fuxi was Nuwa, Qin, Se and Xiao had been invented. At this time, "Qin" is the predecessor of "Guqin" now. There are countless poems and stories written around the guqin, including the poem My Fair Lady, Friends of the Harp. There is a story that says, "Boya was good at playing the piano, and Zhong Ziqi was good at listening. He died when he was a child. Boya broke the piano and never played it again for life. "It can be seen that the sound of the piano is the inner voice. Guqin occupies a very high position in China's music. "Zheng" comes from "color" and has the same effect as "Qin". Because it was popular in the State of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was called "Qin Zheng" in history. The voice of "Zheng" is gorgeous and beautiful, lively and lyrical, and it is good at expressing the artistic conception of flowing water. Today, we put "Qin" and "Zheng" side by side in front of your eyes. I hope you can appreciate the profound cultural origin and rich artistic background of the Chinese nation in the long sound of the piano. Guqin, also known as lyre, or Si Tong, Qilu, etc. Because there are seven strings, it is also called "lyre". The piano body is formed by gluing a panel and a bottom plate, showing a long and narrow shape. Thirteen "emblem" points are embedded in the panel outside the rope. Liu Changqing, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote, "Your lyre is like a cold wind in a pine forest." Its "seven strings" refers to the guqin, and "Lingling" refers to the timbre of the guqin.

Today, when people talk about Chinese classical music and western classical music, some people think that China's music, especially classical music, has been declining for nearly two or three hundred years. Not only did all kinds of musical instruments not develop, but even composers only appeared at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, not to mention all kinds of music scores (what's more, they even said that China had no real music scores at all).

As far as the piano is concerned, as early as the Baroque era, it had the embryonic form of development. Then after classical, brilliant, modern and even the next generation, its industry has developed to a considerable extent, and the timbre and timbre have been quite perfect and accurate. However, China's classical instruments have really been dragging their feet.

But I think China's traditional classical music, on the one hand, has industrial factors in it, and at the same time, has China's traditional ideas in it. First of all, China is a discriminatory attitude towards artists; Secondly, the traditional concept is to strive for simplicity, inaction, cleanliness and leisure, instead of being rigorous and meticulous as in the west: China's music scores, such as the Book of Songs, Song Ci and Yuan Qu of Guangling SanYuefu, are better than others, but now all the so-called music scores are lost, leaving only the literary part ... and so on. I didn't say that China didn't have music scores, but I objected that China didn't have music scores. I know that the ancient notation in China used "Yu Zi in the upper corner of the palace" to record music. Including the songs of the Book of Songs, the songs of Chu Ci, Tang Poetry and Song Ci, all have music scores. In ancient times under the rule of Confucianism, artists were always at the bottom of the cult, just a little higher than Hanako, so all the classical art forms in China were handed down only in the form of literature (ten thousand classes were poor, only reading was high). So the so-called sinologists who are just amateurs think that there is no classical music in China.

On classical music, one of my views is that China's art is superior to western art, and the reason why he doesn't let westerners, or those who only admire western culture without studying their own culture, accept it is because China culture is a comprehensive and all-inclusive culture and art, and it is a synthesis of political philosophy, art, social science, astronomy and other disciplines divided by the West. For example, an ancient poem is also the embodiment of a philosophical point of view. It is also an artistic expression (the singing method of ancient poetry is said to have been lost), etc.: If the same ancient literati achieved success in his career by relying on fame, he may be a politician and sometimes a writer, a military reformer (China's original literati read widely, but actually only one article has a lot of knowledge), an astronomer and a geographer, etc. If the officialdom is frustrated, he may become an artist, a chess player or even a doctor (many scholars in ancient times have always been good at distinguishing yellow).

I think all this comes from the thinking mode of Chinese and western cultures: China is deductive method, and Greek culture is the source of western culture.

High mountains and flowing water, plum blossoms, moonlight on the riverside, autumn moon in Han Palace, white snow in spring, questions and answers from fishermen and firewood, 18 beats from Hu Jia, Guangling San, and geese flying in all directions.
