Which is more important in Chinese music, words or songs?

The answer can be found in history. China's music scene has been emphasizing words since the Song Dynasty. Bu Operator, Qinyuanchun and Bodhisattva Man all have fixed tunes. In these fixed songs, people write down the lyrics and play them over and over again. And no one considered recording the music. Music was "unreliable" in ancient China, and finally it was lost, leaving only the lyrics. Think again that Han people have all kinds of writing brushes, but many reliable musical instruments, guzheng, are quite good. Erhu and pipa are both ethnic minority musical instruments. After the reform and opening up, in fact, music education has not been taken seriously. Music class is that everyone hums, and after a while it becomes a Chinese class. I don't practice my ears, I have no idea about intervals, I can't beat time and I don't know anything about rhythm. So what is the significance of music class? Elementary school began to learn ancient Chinese. Why didn't Bach smell it? Parents will not pay attention to it, and the mantra is, can music be eaten as a meal? Learn mathematics and physics well, and you are not afraid to travel all over the world. Generally speaking, Europe emphasizes harmony, Africa emphasizes rhythm, Japanese emphasizes melody and China emphasizes lyrics. As far as the United States is concerned, immigrant countries are neutral to some extent. Business and art can develop very well in America, and there are many small concerts of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Have to refuse to accept it. Personally, I was born in science and engineering, but I really regret that I didn't get a normal music education when I was a child. But I believe that music education in China will get better and better. Quote a passage from my second brother: "I think one problem is that the audience in China is far more sensitive to lyrics than to music, and their appreciation of lyrics is far greater than their appreciation of music. A song with good lyrics can easily be classified as mentally retarded by the public, but a song is vulgar, but a song with good lyrics can often be evaluated not only by "golden sentences" but also by melody.
