Features: This book is a comprehensive and systematic monograph on the aesthetics of vocal art in China. The entire work delves deeply and thoroughly into the overall composition and expressive characteristics of the beauty of vocal art from perspectives such as philosophy, art psychology, art morphology, and art sociology. In addition to the "Introduction," the book is divided into four parts and thirteen chapters. In the "Essence Theory," it explores the aesthetic features and functions of the beauty of vocal art in a general manner, and by employing a comparative methodology, contrasts the similarities and differences between vocal and instrumental music, highlighting the uniqueness of the beauty of vocal art. Through the "Literature Theory," "Melody Theory," and "Performance Theory," it analyzes the ontological aesthetic features of each constituent series of the beauty of vocal art. This approach not only provides aesthetic arguments for the ontology but also examines its dependence on the subordinate elements, thereby revealing the constituent factors and internal laws of the beauty of vocal art, offering aesthetic guidance for the creation and appreciation of vocal art.
