Features: To enable the new-generation university students of the 21st century to recognize and appreciate the rhymes in Chinese music, enrich their thoughts, elevate their realms, and perfect their personalities through the appreciation of beauty and the enlightenment of wisdom, we have dared to take the risk of "lifting the (a heavy tripod) and severing the (a shinbone)" to compile this book that is both professional and knowledgeable, as well as appreciable and readable. The pieces selected in this book are famous tunes from various dynasties in China that have been passed down to this day, aiming to combine literature and music, allowing readers to directly appreciate, sing, and learn them. The target readers of this book are primarily college students, but it is also suitable for students in music-focused institutions. To reflect the completeness and order of the knowledge system, the book is divided into four parts: History, Theory, Aesthetic Experience (various works), and National Spirit. The intention is to provide teachers and students with a comprehensive understanding of Chinese music from theory to practice, allowing them to rise to a higher level of aesthetic appreciation. In the Aesthetic Experience section, we have included as many renowned masterpieces as possible from the basic types of Chinese music, enabling students to gain a panoramic view and grasp the characteristics of Chinese music through specific appreciation. This also provides teachers with the flexibility to select appropriate materials based on actual teaching needs.
