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 cultivation, especially in the context of current 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 the ability to appreciate music. Even for those who have already acquired 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 major musical schools and works of each historical period, and integrates the development of music into the overall framework of traditional Chinese culture. It is a well-structured, smoothly narrated, and well-documented textbook. The content of this book is vivid and rich, serving as a bridge to understand and appreciate music, as well as an important humanistic background.
