Features: To meet the needs of readers who do not have the opportunity or conditions to attend a conservatory but are interested in learning basic music knowledge, our press has edited and published the "Self-Teaching Music Series" (including two volumes: "Composition Volume" and "Musicology Volume"). The authors of this series are all professors, lecturers, and experts who have taught at conservatories for many years and have rich classroom teaching experience. The "Self-Teaching Music Series·Musicology Volume" consists of 10 volumes. The content includes the history of Chinese and foreign music, the basics of music aesthetics, and the theoretical courses commonly offered in conservatories, such as ethnomusicology theory. It has both a certain theoretical depth and is easy to read. In addition to serving as a self-study textbook, it can also be used as a supplementary teaching material and reference book for students and teachers of music conservatories and music teacher training institutions. This book is a result of the author's teaching in music aesthetics at the Central Conservatory of Music and can also be considered a summary of the author's research in music aesthetics in recent years. In terms of chapter arrangement, the author has chosen eight aspects that have always been of concern to researchers in this discipline. In the specific discussions, the author emphasizes both critically accepting the theories of predecessors and fully taking into account proposing new perspectives from the perspective of cognition.
