Features: This book is divided into three major sections—Human and Environment, Music in Environment, and Environment in Music—with several related subheadings under each section to discuss the relationship between music and environment. Readers can either read the entire book or selectively choose topics of interest to click and link. This book is not purely an academic read; it includes the author's research insights and reflections, blending theoretical depth, knowledge, and entertainment. It is suitable for readers interested in environmental protection. The topic of music and environment is both ancient and fresh. As early as the ancient Greek and pre-Qin periods in China, philosophers recognized that music could serve as a medium connecting nature and humanity, highly valuing its role in harmonizing nature and human relationships. This perspective, which places humans within nature rather than above it, emphasizes peaceful coexistence between humans and nature, carrying certain environmental inclinations but not yet in the modern scientific sense of environmental protection. This booklet does not maintain theoretical systematicity and completeness in a chapter-by-chapter format or emphasize strict logical coherence between sections. Instead, it is structured into three major sections—Human and Environment, Music in Environment, and Environment in Music—with several related subheadings under each to discuss corresponding content. Readers can either read the entire book or selectively choose topics of interest to click and link. This book is not purely an academic read; it includes the author's research insights and reflections. Although it references a large number of related works, it is not a book of music analysis. Musical works are cited to closely align with the environmental theme. The author hopes this small book strikes a balance between theoretical depth, knowledge, and entertainment. Whether it succeeds is for the readers to judge.
