Chinese Classical Music

Introduction
As it is known to us all, music is a kind of universal language which can
be used to communicate throughout the world, no matter who you are and
where you are from in the world, and regardless of which language you
speak, we can appreciate the beauty of music borderlessly. As one of the
greatest ancient countries in the world, China has its own significant,
fruitful musical culture. Classic music is one of the most typical music in
that ancient musicians used special antique instruments, with their
fantastic composition skills, to express their feelings about the world.

Body
Man cannot live without music, because as long as you are alive, you are
accompanied with music. The steps of walking and the beating of the
heart are the simplest kind of rhythm. That’s why the origin of music
dates back to human genesis and comes out of labor.
Chinese music culture has a time- honored history; classical music was
proved to be splendid thousands of years ago while Western music was
just at an infant stage. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the contention of
a hundred schools of thought had collided sparks of music; In the Zhou
Dynasty, the government established a musical institution which was in
charge of ‘Dasile’. The institution taught three music courses that are the
virtue of music, the language of music and the dance accompanied by
music. Musical culture was highly advanced in the time of Zhou and Qin
dynasties and thus it laid the foundation of ancient temperament’s
development.
Music development reached its height in Sui and Tang dynasties, because
the rulers of that time were very open-minded, and they appreciated and
encouraged extensive kinds of music culture.
There are a variety of instruments in Chinese classic music culture,
which are all unique in the world, such as Guzheng, Erhu, Pipa, Bamboo
Flute, Guqin and Xiao. The ten most famous classical songs in China are
all performed with these instruments.

Comments

Chinese classic music is an extremely important, indispensable part of
Chinese culture, playing a pivotal role in completing its diversification.
Chinese classic music is considered as the feast of sound, and as for me, I
can’t help losing myself in it and enjoy the utmost relaxation. I believe
that it has the magic power to protect my inner peace from the
complicated outer world. Some scientists have also proved that Chinese
classic music can be used to tranquilize one’s mood.
Nowadays, most of us, especially young adults are chasing after the pop
music but ignoring the classical music, which I think it’s kind of blindly
following. Therefore, we have to take it into consideration of rejuvenating
the classical music, or we will be someday regretful for the cultural loss.
