Features: For most people, music is more of a technique. However, the editors and authors of this series believe that music is more about a kind of cultivation, especially in light of the current state of music education in China. For most non-music majors, they rarely have the opportunity to learn music techniques, but they can develop their musical cultivation and an appreciation for music. Even for those who already possess certain musical skills, a series like this can still be beneficial in correctly grasping the spiritual essence of music, understanding the process of its development and evolution, enhancing their understanding of music, and improving its artistic level. This book is guided by the philosophical concept of "Harmony between Music, Heaven, and Humanity" from beginning to end, tracing the history of Chinese music. It is divided into seven chapters, introducing the main musical schools and works of each historical period, and integrates the development of music into the broader context of traditional Chinese culture. It is a well-structured and engaging textbook with a clear narrative and rich historical material. The content of this book is vivid and comprehensive, serving as a bridge to understanding music and an important humanistic background.
