The Employment Prospect of Guzheng

Learning Zheng and Employment

I. Background analysis

Guzheng, a national musical instrument with a long history and simplicity, was once brilliant in history and was praised as a "national treasure". Even foreigners call it the oriental piano, the king of oriental musical instruments. But with the changes of the times, it gradually declined. Until the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were only a few people who played the guzheng, or guzheng players with high attainments, and they were almost lost.

After the founding of New China, music colleges invited folk guzheng artists to the university platform, trained a new generation of guzheng artists, and rescued guzheng and guzheng art, especially since the reform and opening up, guzheng art has made great progress, especially its popularization. According to statistics, there are 5 million people in Chinese mainland, and1100,000 people abroad can play the guzheng, and it is still growing rapidly.

With the rapid growth of demand for learning guzheng, our guzheng education and teachers are very scarce. There is also a great demand for guzheng players in various performance venues.

Second, the positioning analysis

1, Guzheng-Guo Qin: We define Guzheng as "Guo Qin" because folk music is "national music" and represents "the soul of China". Throughout the national musical instruments, only the guzheng is qualified, because only the guzheng can independently play large and complex music, and its timbre and artistic appeal can be comparable to that of the piano in western music. We are asking the relevant state departments to name and identify "Guzheng-Guo Qin" through various channels and ways, such as holding high-level forums, expert argumentation, NPC deputies and CPPCC members' proposals. At the same time, we will also let the whole society recognize this well-deserved title through online voting and other forms. What is national belongs to the world. We should let Guzheng go abroad and let the whole world appreciate the charm of China's "national piano".

2, easy to learn-popularization: Guzheng is a very simple and easy-to-learn musical instrument, suitable for people of all ages and levels to learn. Guzheng has a beautiful timbre, and beginners can play beautiful music, which is very easy to generate interest in learning and learn quickly. Chulabhorn, princess of Thai royal family, admires China's guzheng. Over 45 years old, she studied and practiced with great enthusiasm. In just over a year, she was able to skillfully play China's famous songs with guzheng in large-scale concerts, and now she has held large-scale concerts in many cities in Thailand and China. In this case, people who learn Zheng abound, which is impossible in other categories of instrumental music. Students don't have to spend too much energy to learn guzheng, and they won't delay their normal study. The easy learning of guzheng also laid a good foundation for its popularization, but people did not realize its easy learning. We have reason to believe that the popularity of guzheng in China can be the same as that of piano and violin popularized by westerners since childhood, and it is much easier to learn.

3. Cheap and good quality: the price of guzheng ranges from several hundred yuan to about 3,000 yuan, which is far lower than that of piano and other musical instruments, and it is completely affordable for ordinary families in China. Placed in the family hall or leisure place, its simplicity and elegance add a lot of cultural details, showing the master's artistic taste.

Third, the market analysis

Now the study of guzheng is getting hotter and hotter, and more and more people appreciate it, even surpassing the piano and violin. Just as China people are not used to western food, Chopin and Liszt are not understood by many people, but most people can enjoy Running the Mountain and Fishing Boat Singing Late, and folk music is still in line with the taste of China population. In addition, China culture has become the fashion pursued by the whole world.

Guzheng is the most popular among national musical instruments. Some musical instruments are only liked by a few people, while guzheng is suitable for most people.

1. Young people's demand for artistic expertise: Under the background of the Ministry of Education's proposal to comprehensively strengthen quality education for young people, artistic quality education, as one of the most important components, has been recognized and practiced by the majority of students and parents, and art specialty students enjoy extra points in the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination. Among them, guzheng education is widely carried out in primary and secondary schools, kindergartens and even children's palaces, and it is the most popular category for learning artistic expertise at present. As early as 1996, Huludao No.1 Experimental Primary School was used as a guzheng training base, and several schools offered guzheng training classes and characteristic classes to cultivate children's early musical instrument skills. In addition, the second major of Guzheng was set up in professional colleges, and a series of cultural exchange activities of "China Guzheng Island" were held.

2. Career needs: As the saying goes, "A home with a skill is not as good as a thousand hectares of fertile land." Playing guzheng is a skill with many employment opportunities and a good entrepreneurial foundation. Therefore, many parents encourage young people to learn guzheng for future employment. In recent years, western orchestral music, piano, vocal music and other majors tend to be saturated, while the demand for national orchestral music such as bamboo flute, sheng, suona, erhu, banhu, dulcimer and pipa is still pitiful. It's just that learning guzheng and geometric methods have increased ten times and one hundred times, but the demand for guzheng teachers who have been reserved by the state for many years is in short supply.

3. Cultivation needs: Nowadays, many urban white-collar workers, including many foreigners, like to learn guzheng. In addition to this sweet music, they found that playing guzheng can really relieve pressure, cultivate sentiment, improve people's quality and accomplishment, and even change people's temperament. Michelle, a movie star who is nearly 50 years old, still seems to be in her thirties. Speaking of how to keep beautiful, she laughed and said that this is the credit for learning guzheng and Chinese painting. The music of guzheng is more attractive and calm to her than any other western musical instrument. Karen Mok, a Hong Kong singer who has always been bold and avant-garde, actually plays the guzheng very well, adding a classical charm to her. And Na Ying, Jie, and "Super Girl" are all worthy of the name.

4. Cultural demand: With the continuous improvement of material living standards, people's cultural life is becoming more and more urgent. Lack of spiritual and cultural life means poverty, so developed areas are building "cultural provinces" and advanced cultural cities. Some cities have also begun to build urban cultural brands with the help of guzheng art, and Yangzhou has become a world-renowned "hometown of guzheng art"; Huludao City, Liaoning Province successfully registered the brand of "China Zhengdao" in the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in 2003, and created the urban cultural brand of "China Zhengdao", which made great contributions to attracting investment of billions of yuan. Changchun City, Jilin Province is also planning a "Kite City in the North". At the same time, China is also promoting the revival of traditional culture. The comprehensive strength of a country consists of economy, national defense and national cohesion, among which the core of national cohesion is culture. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is also mainly cultural rejuvenation, and guzheng is the representative of Chinese traditional culture and art. Guzheng Orchestra has visited with national leaders for many times, and let the world appreciate the charm of oriental music. This is the power of culture and the unique glory of guzheng. From national leaders to ordinary people, they all like guzheng. Not only administrative support, but also the market is more sensitive. The popularity of folk music groups such as "12 girl band" and "Women's National Music Square" at home and abroad also confirms the market's pursuit of folk music and is an affirmation of the number of folk music fans. Folk music is full of vitality, and guzheng, as a representative instrument of folk music, is duty-bound to resist the banner of folk music revival.

Fourth, the competition analysis

In the aspect of guzheng education, the guzheng major in regular music colleges is far from meeting the huge demand, and the ratio of application and admission every year is basically 120: 1, which is seriously unbalanced. Amateur education is basically a one-to-one teaching method of "family workshop", which can not meet the needs of a large number of kite learners, the teaching quality is uneven, and various kite methods are mixed. Although there are some representatives of Zheng faction in various places, which have promoted Zheng fever on one side, they can't meet the wider demand and can't compete with universities across the country. So far, there is no professional Guzheng College in China or even in the world.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) employment prospect

Learning Zheng not only cultivates sentiment, but also has broad employment prospects. In addition to stable and rich income, guzheng teachers and performers are respected people. There is also a wide demand for studying Zheng abroad, and there is also a broad space for teaching and playing Zheng abroad as a professional "self-employed immigrant" in the future.

1, Guzheng Education: Millions of troops studying Guzheng have brought about a serious shortage of teachers, and the shortage of teachers has also restricted the growth of Guzheng population to a certain extent, otherwise the number of people studying Guzheng will be several times higher than now. At present, the teachers who teach Zheng earn a lot of money everywhere, and they are all high-income people in the local area. In addition to regular art schools and private art schools, there is a huge demand for guzheng teachers in various children's palaces, elderly activity stations, mass art museums and community cultural stations.

2. Guzheng performance: There is a general lack of guzheng players in hotels, restaurants, teahouses and other leisure places all over the country. With the return of traditional culture, people are more and more fond of guzheng, an ancient musical instrument, and its charm. Guzheng players can not only bring people artistic enjoyment, but also make leisure places full of guests and friends, and at the same time, they can also get rich income.

3. Sales and production of guzheng: At present, various musical instruments and manufacturers generally lack musicians who can understand guzheng, debug the piano and play simply. Whether there are musicians directly affects the sales of musical instruments, so the sales and production units of musical instruments are also eager for talents.

Guzheng is a great musical instrument, and it is a great and glorious cause to inherit, develop, improve, prosper and popularize it. We regard it as a lifelong mission.
