Brief introduction of music literacy

The first feature is that it works at the earliest. People's ability to feel music is innate. It is irrefutable proof that mothers of all nationalities in the world will sing lullabies or lullabies to her children. In fact, babies can have different degrees of perception and reaction to music before they are born. In this sense, everyone has a talent for music. In addition to music, babies can directly feel graphics (colors, lines, etc.) as long as they open their eyes after birth. )-that is, art, there is no doubt that language and writing must be learned the day after tomorrow, after music and art.

The second feature is that it has the most direct effect. Music has not only the earliest but also the most direct effect on people. Both language and writing belong to the second signal system, and they have to go through a series of psychological processes such as understanding, association and transformation before they can act on people's minds. Only music touches people directly, without any intermediary or translation. There is a slogan in the ancient "Zen" study, which is called "pointing directly at people's hearts". I think only music can be called these four words. Judging from this feature, it seems that art categories should be lined up like this: music, art, literature and other comprehensive arts.
