1. Song of the Seven Sons
Song of Seven Sons was written by Mr. Wen Yiduo during his stay in the United States. The full text consists of seven songs, symbolizing seven China territories occupied by foreign powers. In the poem, Wen Yiduo compares seven pieces of "lost land" plundered by foreign powers to seven children who are far away from their mothers, crying about their strong feelings of being bullied by foreign countries and eager to return to their mothers' arms. On the one hand, poetry expresses nostalgia and praise for the motherland, on the other hand, it expresses the curse to the imperialist powers.
Teaching purpose: I hope students can learn more about the history of China and never forget the imperialist aggression against us!
2. edelweiss
In Austria, edelweiss symbolizes courage. Because the wild edelweiss grows on the mountains with difficult environment, it is difficult for ordinary people to see its beautiful face, so anyone who has seen edelweiss is a hero.
Teaching purpose: I hope students will not be afraid of difficult challenges. If they want to see the rainbow, they must go through the storm first!
3. Pearl of the Orient
The Pearl of the Orient was created by 1997 to welcome the return of Hong Kong. As can be seen from its lyrics, the motherland warmly welcomes the return of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong will always be the territory of China!
Teaching purpose: to let students know the history of Hong Kong.
4.jasmine
The tune of What a Jasmine Flower is lingering and subtle. The beauty of jasmine represents love and happiness, and both orientals and westerners get pleasure and happiness from its fragrance. Therefore, it is very interesting for composers to transform the folk song Jasmine into other musical forms. A Good Jasmine, an erhu song adapted and created by the famous erhu player Mr. Zhu Changyao, is a flower in full bloom in this "fragrant and beautiful" jasmine flower.
Teaching purpose: At the closing ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the melody of the world-famous song Jasmine dripped from the fingertips of fourteen beautiful girls in China, so that the world could enjoy dancing Beijing and know another "business card" of China-Jasmine.
5. Youth dance music
Dance of Youth is a China folk song arranged and adapted by Mr. Wang. Nine times out of ten, the content of folk songs is mainly about love, so in the final analysis, folk songs are actually songs about singing youth. The thoughts, worries, anxieties and passions of adolescence are all the contents of folk songs. Gorky once said: "Folk songs are insulated from pessimism." Singing youth ballads always gives people courage, hope, fantasy and strength. Folk songs are the voice of life and public opinion.
Teaching purpose: I hope students will cherish the happy time in front of them, study hard and don't waste time, just like the song "My little bird won't come back".
I hope it works for you! -
