英语口试~Chinese Music

(Good morning, teachers.) Today i would like to talk about 'Chinese music'. Chinese music has a long story. It is an important messenger of traditional chinese culture, with harmony as its salient feature. This feature has been playing an important role in chinese culture as well as its political life.

Traditional chinese culture stresses harmony, including peace of mind, unity in human relations, and harmony between man and nature. The chinese believe that music originated from the heart's understanding of nature. A very early Chinese Music Classic says that music comes from the heart when moved by nature and music itself is an expression from the heart. In Confucian philosophy music nourishes the mind and enables regular people to become sages, and it also tempers the heart and regulates human relations to achieve social stability.

I like chinese musical instruments and folk songs very much. I've been playing Er-hu since last year(2009). Er-hu, a two-stringsd bow-and-string instrument. The Er-hu has been in use since the Tang Dynasty, and it is now played both solo and in an ensemble as an importand element of the string band. The er-hu music is suitable for expression of both deep sorrow and vigor. Among the er-hu compositions a well-known one is ‘二泉映月---The spring Water Reflects the Moon'.

I love folk songs too. Folk songs are oral works created by average people to express their sentiments. My favourite chinese folk song singer is 宋祖英. She sings very well. She has been performing in a lot of country. One of the most well known chinese folk songs is from the Jiangsu Province ‘ 茉莉花---The Jasmine Flower’. This tune has been played on many important occassions in recent years, for example ......... Furthemore, her folk songs has thus introduced to the world. ...
