Features: Music is a art, it provides information through auditory means. Therefore, to understand and appreciate music, one must first rely on one's auditory perception. Music is a time art, a series of organized sounds are meticulously arranged in a dynamic and continuous manner along the dimension of time, and it has the characteristic of being fleeting. Thus, without keen musical hearing and the ability to grasp these continuously arranged sounds, one cannot grasp music as a whole, let alone understand the emotions it conveys. Music is also three-dimensional, it has both horizontal continuity in structure and multi-voice texture as vertical combinations, and extends and develops unceasingly along the dimension of time. Therefore, Western philosophers say: music is a flowing architecture, it presents aesthetic principles such as contrast, unity, harmony, and balance, and it itself exhibits a self-sufficient formal beauty. The importance of auditory training in music foundation courses is recognized by various teaching systems both domestically and internationally. Taking auditory training as the main thread, integrating it into the three key components of solfège teaching—singing, auditory analysis, and dictation—has become a consensus. Its teaching objectives are fully focused on comprehensively improving learners' musical literacy. The excellent folk music of various ethnic groups around the world have nurtured and shaped outstanding composers throughout history. Their works are rooted in the musical soil of their own nation and are produced through creative refinement and processing. They have undergone long historical trials, washing, and sedimentation.
