Exploration and Inspiration of Modern Chinese Aesthetic and Music Education Thoughts

Abstract

Since modern times, driven by the ideas of "abolishing the imperial examination system, revitalizing schools, nurturing talents, and strengthening China", the education system has begun to reform, and school music education has gradually gained attention. Due to the sweeping of Western cultural trends, the collision of Eastern and Western cultures has become the main theme of society. During this period, music education ideas were deeply influenced by Western educational concepts. This article reviews the historical context of aesthetic and music education ideas in modern China. It analyzes the relevant characteristics of education systems and music educators' aesthetic and music education ideas in different periods. The aesthetic and music education ideas of these periods were not separated, but were a great exploration of the development of music education in China by educators and government departments under the influence of Western music culture. The aesthetic and music education ideas of this period played an important role in promoting innovation and development of music education, and also have positive reference and enlightenment significance for the current development of ethnic music education.
