Li Wenyin said this and immediately paused.

"Finally, it is the average education level of the people in the entire society."

Average education level!

"oh?"

Although Yu Li agreed, she still wanted to hear what Li Wenyin said.

"In fact, the purpose of early education is more about forming [common sense] and [discrimination ability] and cultivating stereotyped three views, three views, discrimination ability, and common sense are the basis of aesthetics."

"For example, if you don't have common sense, you obviously cannot distinguish the beauty and ugliness of human works. For example, we have been learning Chinese, history, ancient poetry, etc. since we were young. These things seem useless at first glance, but after twenty or thirty years, although you have forgotten everything, you can still clearly experience the beauty of it when you have basic recognition ability and appreciate some easier to understand poetry."

Li Wenyin's words made Yu Li nod in agreement.

That’s right, the purpose of education is not just exams, study, study, etc.

It can cultivate your three views, discernment ability, and the most basic common sense.

Although you may have forgotten all this knowledge later and even won't solve the face equation, the common sense and discrimination ability, logic ability, analysis ability, calculation ability, etc. brought to you by this knowledge exists in your instinct.

"Similarly, for example, if you appreciate some poetry, songs, paintings, architectures, and sculptures, if you don't know anything about Chinese civilization and culture at all, or even become extremely unfamiliar with it, it is difficult to further feel the beauty of Chinese style, at least you can't tell it."

"For example... ordinary Chinese people born and raised are very sensitive to Chinese-style architecture, and can be distinguished... This one looks like ancient ones, this one looks like modern ones, bronze style, solid wood style, pastoral style."

"But what if it is European-style architecture? For example, Baroque, Gothic, Byzantine style, it will be completely distorted."

"Take a step back, if you have not received education, you can't even tell... what is Chinese style, what is European style, what is dark wind, what is Japanese style."

Li Wenyin smiled.

"Do you know why classical music seems so high-end now?"

"Why?"

Yu Li was stunned.

Now tall and upright?

Classical music seems to be elegant all the time.

"Actually, classical music was very long ago...it was very monotonous and very popular."

Li Wenyin smiled softly.

"At first it originated from the chants of prayer that originated from the church, then came from religion to the court and to the folk."

"But perhaps many people don't know that the status of classical music at the beginning was not high, and it can even be said to be just a toy for the nobles. Even if they went to the folk, they were not respected by many people."

Li Wenyin's words made Yu Li frown.

"Maybe it is related to the education level of the common people at that time, but the concerts at that time were very casual, playing on stage, chatting loudly with each other, eating, drinking and having fun, and being in a bad mood, could even boo a few times to vent the musician."

"Later, with the efforts of countless musicians, the music was given more diverse levels, richer forms, more complex and exquisite techniques, more profound ideas and content, and richer connotations in all aspects of the work."

"From then on, classical music officially began to develop, from the early Baroque, classicism, and all the way to romanticism!!"

"Until jazz music, when the boundaries between pop and classical music began to appear, classical music seemed to make people feel exquisite and profound. It reached a height in terms of techniques and the humanistic ideas it gave, which made ordinary people feel a little daunting."

Speaking of this, Li Wenyin smiled mysteriously and paused.

"So, in order to appreciate these works that are given deeper and more sophisticated, the threshold for appreciation of classical music will be relatively higher, and a certain amount of knowledge reserves are required."

"Simply put, it is the discrimination ability in this aspect. You don't have to understand it, but at least you can have a certain discrimination and appreciation ability."

"So, aesthetics are simple and complex, easy to understand, profound and subtle, so aesthetic ability is also divided into high and low. Therefore, the ancient sayings about playing the piano against a cow, glaring at the blind, and saying good things to the blind, is actually very real."

Speaking of this, Li Wenyin said to Li.

"So, I think that in order to develop music, in the process of development, the audience will gradually improve their aesthetics, discover more and better aesthetics, experience more beauty, and discover these more different beauty."

"Just like the progress of food, humans are not just pursuing fullness, but there is no end to food. With the continuous invention and creation of chefs, more taste experiences will be produced. After the progress of food, people's taste for food will be higher."

Speaking of this, Li Wenyin suddenly laughed.

As Li Wenyin explained the next sentence, Yu Li stretched her eyebrows and nodded constantly.

"Many people think that some music is elegant and some music is tacky, but in fact this is wrong."

"All music types and all music styles are the same! The difference is only whether the work expresses the correct moral concepts, form, and artistic beauty. At this point, the excellence of the music itself has nothing to do with the type, style, and difficulty."

“The musical form is equal, so what is the difference?”

"It is because people have different interests and hobbies, different ideas and different aesthetic concepts, and their aesthetic concepts are completely different. On this basis, even if they have the same aesthetic concept, their aesthetic level can be high and low."

"What really divides into different levels is not musical form, but aesthetics."

"The ultimate goal of a musician is to make his own part of his contribution to enhancing the aesthetics of the public through the interpretation and creation of more profound works!

After hearing Li Wenyin's words, Yu Li frowned without any concealment and couldn't help asking.

"Then Professor Li, what do you mean...Is it because you want to learn classical music and push modern pop music to that level?"

"No, not height, but breadth."

Li Wenyin corrected Yu Li’s statement.

"Those masters who have promoted and innovated classical music have never thought of catering to the public's aesthetics. Instead, they try their best to develop the music itself and give it meaning to the music. As time goes by, people's aesthetics will also improve accordingly."

“In other words, the true master is not the follower, but the guide.”

"They discovered deeper beauty, they defined what beauty is, and they told everyone how to be more beautiful."

"So, they are great musicians who have left their names in history, so, I think, a large part of the progress in musical aesthetics is guided by musicians."

"You sing whatever the audience likes. There is no mistake, and it is indeed this way to make money."

Li Wenyin's eyes softened.

"But aside from these, we should actually try to make progress and make breakthroughs occasionally."

"That's why, there will be some new experimental music that is simply unacceptable in modern times."

"So, I think that in addition to creating works that the public loves, an excellent musician should also try to develop and break through the inherent boundaries."

Speaking of this, Li Wenyin shrugged.

"Look, for example, I, no matter what work I published before, there would be trolls who would make anti-intellectual remarks. Although there were not many, they still existed."

"Sometimes, when I pursue artistic value, there will always be people who comment on the work [I can't understand it, it's so ugly, what's the bullshit thing] [What's the use of being so high-end? The public can't understand it. What's the value?] [No matter how complex and awesome the music you play, can it promote scientific development? Can it enhance economic development?]."

"Sometimes, in order to make a meal, people always say [What, can you do something with artistic value? Can such a big musician write such simple things to fool people?] [Li Wenyin and Jiang Lang have finished their talents. His previous works were so amazing. Now they either feel boring or have no nutrition]."

Yu Li was amused by Li Wenyin and smiled.

Li Wenyin's face became even more innocent.

"Right, I am such a big musician, sometimes it's okay to have a meal or something. It's not okay for an artist to do some business activities to make money? If you have to live in poverty and live like a beggar every day, you are called an artist? Then I think my works may not be art, but suicide notes..."

"Ha ha!"

Yu Li couldn't help but tease her.

"Professor Li, it will cost money to play homophones."

Shaking his head gently, Yu Li asked with a smile again.

"So, Professor Li Wenyin, when will your next album be released?"

"Album? What album?"

Li Wenyin's shameless look made Yu Li's face suddenly turn black.

"Ahem, just the new album you mentioned when the new song "mojito" was first released?"

"Oh oh oh! That one!"

Li Wenyin scratched her head, looking embarrassed.

"The main reason is that I don't have time..."

"Is Professor Li very busy now? Do you have to be busy preparing lessons?"

"Aren't you busy?"

not busy?

After hearing Li Wenyin's straightforward answer, Yu Li was immediately confused and couldn't help but ask.

"Then why don't you release a new album? It's been a long time since then."

Li Wenyin seemed to look embarrassed when she heard this.

"Actually... I know that fans and friends are looking forward to it, and I look forward to it. Actually, I don't want to release an album."

Speaking of this, Li Wenyin couldn't help scratching her head.

"Mainly...I've been playing before."

"What after that?"

Yu Li felt that she wanted to show a weird smile, but her professional qualities made her tense.

"It depends on the situation, let's talk about it."
