The U.S.-China Cultural and Art Exchange Association held the "After Dinner" symphony (Li Wen) The U.S.-China Cultural and Art Exchange Association held the "After Dinner" symphony in October. After the "Appreciation of Chinese Paintings" lectured by the painter Mr. Fan Rong, everyone received an enthusiastic response. They admired the masterpieces of many world-class Chinese painters, deeply admired them, and benefited a lot. A group photo of participants. The "After Dinner" in November was also held at the "Fengcheng Restaurant". This time, Mr. Chen Zhigang, the vice chairman of the association and the face-changing master of Fengcheng, gave a lecture on the first chapter of "How to Appreciate a Symphony", giving an overview of the structure of a symphony. Mr. Chen used exquisite picture projections to explain: What he introduced was a Western symphony, which is mainly divided into four parts: string section, woodwind section, brass section, and percussion section. They all have their own unique timbre and style, coordinating and echoing each other. The string section is like the bright appearance of the human body, with elegant, elegant and soft tone. It consists of violin, viola, cello (played while seated) and double bass (played standing or sitting on a high chair). Woodwind music represents the physique of the human body, which is strong and strong, and blends with the bright appearance into an aura and attractive sound. The most representative ones are the oboe, flute, flute, etc. Brass music is the backbone of the human body, the tough side, including French horns. This instrument is large and heavy. The round bell mouth is twisted and turned back to show upwards. Trumpets, trombones, etc. are one of the most common instruments during parade performances. Percussion includes drums of various sizes, percussion instruments such as common triangles or xylophones, etc. Mr. Chen added that in addition to the above four instruments, a piano or harp will also be added if the movement requires it. The distribution ratio of various musical instruments and the arrangement of the left and right positions and the front and back positions all show harmony and coordination. When the music is being played, each piece of music is like telling a sentence. Its elegance, elegance or passion make people endlessly intoxicated in appreciation. It is true that instruments that can produce beautiful sounds are valuable. The congregation was very grateful to Mr. Chen for bringing us this theme, which increased our interest in music, especially symphony. Some people also asked that some popular songs are also scored with symphony. Isn’t it losing the characteristics of classical music? Teacher Gu Yayu added that in fact, music has continued to evolve into diversification, thus adapting to the development of various levels. Music is still music in the end, but each is suitable for its own use. There is no level of standpoint, only the perspective of the viewer's perception is different. Along with this, the U.S.-China Cultural and Art Exchange Association will hold an "After Dinner" event at Fengcheng Restaurant at 6:30 pm on December 7 (Thursday). The chairman of the association, Gu Yayu, will give a lecture on "Singing Health and Happiness." Teacher Gu has performed voluntary "music therapy" services in the community, and the results he has seen are very significant. Ancient people often said that music can be used to treat diseases. Listening to music often can relieve sorrow and relieve boredom, stay away from depression, and avoid taking medicine. Music can cultivate the body and mind, and music is the way to maintain health. Friends from all walks of life are welcome to come and enjoy the music banquet. There will be a small dinner banquet for five internal organs after the meeting. The minimum fee per person is ten yuan. Huaishi is kindly invited to attend. I wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday.
