Translation
Xue Tan learned singing from Qin Qing. Before he could finish learning Qin Qing's skills, he thought he had learned all he could, so he left and went home. Qin Qing did not dissuade him and bid him farewell on the road outside the city. Qin Qing beat the beat and sang a sad song. The song vibrated the trees, and the sound stopped the moving clouds. Xue Tan then apologized to Qin Qing and asked to come back to continue studying. From then on, he never dared to say that he wanted to go home again.
Qin Qing said to his friend: "In the past, Han E went to Qi State in the east and had no food. When she passed Yongmen (the city gate of Qi State), she sold songs and begged for food. Although she Although she left, there was still a lingering sound around Zhongliang (of Yongmen), which kept disappearing for three days. People around her thought she had not left. When she was staying at the inn, the people in the inn insulted her. Weeping, the whole village was filled with sorrow and tears. They didn't eat for three days and rushed to catch her. When Han E came back, she sang loudly. The young and old jumped and clapped their hands and danced happily, unable to control themselves, and they completely forgot about the sadness just now, so they gave her a lot of money and sent her away. So the people in Yongmen are still good at singing and performing. Imitate the singing skills left by E"

This story illustrates that learning requires humility, perseverance, and not being complacent or giving up halfway. This also gives us inspiration: on the one hand, it can be said that appropriate positive education can achieve very good results. Principles are abstracted from real life. When they are used to guide students in practice, they should be concrete and visual. Teachers' guidance should also be based on reason and emotion, aiming at those who are often prone to complacency. Classmates, this kind of orientation can often enable them to see the bright spots in others, enable them to objectively evaluate themselves and others, and enable them to truly understand how to achieve all-round development and how to truly become "four talented people", thus motivating them. The valuable spirit of forge ahead.

[Edit this paragraph] Let’s start with Xue Tan’s Xuexue
There is a section of “Xue Tan’s Xuexue” in the ancient book "Liezi. Tang Wen", with only fifty-one original texts. Character. Ancient prose has always paid attention to conciseness and strived to be concise and concise, unlike the fake and empty style of writing that is popular today.
The original text is transcribed as follows: Xue Tan learned highly of Qin Qing, but he did not have the skills of Qin Qing, so he said that he had exhausted them, so he resigned and returned home. Qin Qingfu stopped. Farewell to the outskirts of the road, Fu Jie's sad song, the sound vibrates the trees, the sound stops the moving clouds. Xue Tan thanked him for his rebellion and dared not return home for the rest of his life.
I will try to translate this ancient text into the vernacular we are used to. Before translating, let me first explain a few unfamiliar ancient words in the original text: "贴" means singing; "Fu" means no; "楯" means holding a farewell party for farewell; "Jiaoqu" means the avenue on the outskirts of the city; " "Fu", in ancient times, was commonly used with the word "拊", and was used as a verb to express the meaning of slapping or beating; "Jie", an ancient percussion instrument; "Fan", in ancient times, was commonly used with Fu. This ancient text tells a story that happened during the Warring States Period 2,500 to 600 years ago. There was a young singer named Xue Tan in the Qin State. In order to improve his singing skills, he studied vocal art under the Qin State singer Qin Qing. Xue Tan had not yet learned Qin Qing's skills, so he blindly believed that he had learned them all. He was so ambitious that he wanted to go out on his own, so he asked Qin Qing to end his studies, bid farewell to his teacher and go back to his home. Facing the complacent students, Qin Qing did not criticize or stop him. He not only agreed to Xue Tan's request, but also solemnly held a graduation ceremony. Qin Qing went out of the city to see him off in person, and held a farewell banquet for Xue Tan on the suburban avenue. Seeing that Xue Tan was about to leave, not knowing when they would be reunited again, thinking of the years since Xue Tan started studying art, teachers and students had inherited the art, harmonized and respected each other, Qin Qing could not help but feel a sense of reluctance in her heart. He took out the percussion instrument called "Jie" that he carried with him and began to beat it. Following the beat, he started singing to his heart's content. He poured out his sadness about parting in his song. However, Qin Qing's passionate singing shook the big trees in the woods near the avenue; Qin Qing's high-pitched singing reached straight into the sky, and the white clouds floating in the sky were blocked by the powerful singing and had to be blocked by the powerful singing. Forced to stop swimming. For the first time, Xue Tan witnessed his teacher's singing ability and skills so high and he admired her from the bottom of his heart. Xue Tan suddenly realized that the gap between his superficial studies and the artistic height that his teacher had reached was as far as the sky. . Xue Tan immediately admitted his mistake to the teacher and begged the teacher to allow him to return to the teacher to continue his studies. Qin Qing forgave Xue Tan, and both teachers and students were happy. From then on, Xue Tan studied with peace of mind and never dared to say that he would graduate and go home again.
People in the world observe things and judge right from wrong, because they are affected or restricted by many factors such as perspective, mindset, life experience, environment, status, etc. The impressions they get and the conclusions they make are There are great differences between each other, so people hold their own opinions and opinions, and they can't agree on one thing. The same goes for reading. When people read a book together, they each have their own interpretation methods and their own associations after reading. Now let me talk about my thoughts after reading the article "Xue Tan Xueyue".
Among the limited books I have read, the "Xue Tan Xueyue" in "Liezi Tang Wen" is the oldest text describing vocal music education that I have seen. This article tells us that professional vocal teachers appeared in our country 2,500 years ago, because the book Liezi was published during the Warring States Period. It is a pity that the work of Liezi is not an authentic history book, and it is also a pity that the authentic history books of China do not record the development history of China's science, education and culture, so that our scholars who are good at getting favored by big shots cannot hold the book of Liezi in their hands to do their best. The special ability of catching wind and shadow will greatly enhance the country's prestige.
The full text of "Xue Tan Xueyue" does not describe the specific details of Qin Qing's vocal music education, nor does it introduce the content of Xue Tan's vocal music learning. It is even said that Xue Tan had already learned from Qin Qing when he had to "resign and return home". He didn't explain how long the art lasted. I thought it was a deviation from the main topic of "learning and appreciating". There is also a paragraph in "Liezi" that describes Ji Chang's archery learning, the training method of Ji Chang's teacher Fei Wei, and the actual situation of Ji Chang's hard learning and training of archery. The article introduces it in detail. I guess this is probably because the author is relatively new to vocal music teaching and very familiar with archery training.
The focus of the full text of "Xue Tan Xueyue" is to portray the characters Qin Qing and Xue Tan, and to praise Qin Qing's "treating disciples as sons" and Xue Tan's "rectifying mistakes when they know they are wrong". Qin Qing treats students with tolerance, kindness and kindness. The author uses the most concise and concise words to successfully create a tall image of teacher Qin Qing. However, no matter how tall Qin Qing's personality is, it is a pity that it is not the same as the past. No matter how wide we open our eyes, it is difficult to easily find Qin Qing's respectable figure in any school today, that kind of sanctimonious teacher who is staring at the students' pockets. , but you can see it when you open your eyes. I know a little bit about the dirty things in some universities, and I have heard and witnessed the behind-the-scenes things in some music conservatories, but I am restricted by the iron law of "Goethe only" in China's cultural and educational circles, especially in the music industry. Just shut up. "One day I was bitten by a snake, ten years I was afraid of the well rope," to avoid being verbally punished again, and I am afraid that someone will angrily criticize me, a person who was in prison more than 30 years ago and had all his teeth shot out by proletarian revolutionary fighters. It's a mouth full of dog teeth.
Actually, Xue Tan is very cute. Xue Tan not only has the quality of a man who "corrects when he knows his mistakes", but also has the virtue of persistent pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, especially vocal art, and he also has a clear mind and sharp artistic discernment. In a chaotic world, especially in a year when the world is full of money, it is difficult for students to find a wise teacher; it is even harder for a wise teacher to find good students. The difficulty for students looking for a Master is that they must have a pair of sharp eyes. Chinese people have a lot of illnesses, otherwise there wouldn't be so many drug ads on TV. Eye diseases among Chinese people, such as "pink eye" and "snobbish eye", are common. Medicines to treat eye diseases are never widely advertised on television, which shows that these eye diseases are incurable cancers. Those who are "snobbish" will "cover their eyes with a leaf and not see Mount Tai". How can they have the chance to visit the Master? Xue Tan heard Qin Qing singing passionately and immediately recognized that this was the most advanced vocal art. Out of his true love for art, he categorically decided to admit his mistake and strive to return to Qin Qing's family to study real art. It is a pity that there are too many Chinese young people who do not have artistic discernment, and they are confused and ask the coals that are used to spray smoke to easily lead them by the nose. Otherwise, where would the "star-chasers" come from? Why are so many people obsessed with "Twelve Bands"? What is "artistic discernment"? This is a university academic question that cannot be explained clearly in a few words. I often tell my students that those who can "discern people through reading" are expected to open the door to the holy literature; only those who can "discern people by listening to music" can enter the hall of elegant music. In fact, this is just a drop in the ocean of "discernment". Masters look for the physical conditions that "good students" must have (for example, those who are color-blind cannot learn art, those who are deaf cannot learn music, and those with poor bones cannot learn dance). They are everywhere, and those with good spirits (persistently pursuing art and studying hard) are everywhere. Students are not difficult to find. If a master wants to find students with good character and moral character, he will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack. Why is this happening? I don’t want to say it, but I insist on saying it. I want to commit the crime of exposing society’s indulgence in the special protection of the “son emperor”, and I want to nag like the nine-pound old lady in Lu Xun’s novel: “In today’s world, one generation is not as good as the other.”
The full text of "Xue Tan Xueyue" has eight characters: "The sound vibrates the trees, and the sound stops the moving clouds." These eight characters are romantic and exaggerated, and each word is full of vitality. It can be said to be a quatrain that will shine through the ages. This quatrain has been continuously used by later generations for more than two thousand years. These eight words have profound connotations, including the strength, volume, sound quality (firmness), broadcasting power (that is, the "penetrating power" that is often talked about in today's music industry but no one actually implements it), and the quality of vocal music. **Ming sound and other music knowledge content.
After reading "Xue Tan Xueyue" and thinking carefully, I suddenly guessed a hidden secret in this, that is, Qin Qing is engaged in vocal music teaching and never gives teaching demonstrations to students. The reason why student Xue Tan became arrogant and wanted to "resign" is directly related to the teacher's failure to set an example.
