　　Twists and perseverance

1950s and 1960s，The major of ethnic bet365 games theory in my country is in its infancy，The theory is not mature enough，The accumulation of practice is also very weak，Discipline construction needs to be improved。1949，He Luting, then president of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games, proposed the professional education idea of ​​“learning from the folk”，Established the "Ethnic bet365 games Research Laboratory" in 1953。After the establishment of the Department of Ethnic bet365 games in May 1956，Shen Zhibai serves as department chair。At that time，Mr. Jiang Mingdun is studying composition，He has a heartfelt love for national bet365 games，Determined to join the work of the "Ethnic bet365 games Research Laboratory"，While studying composition，Dedicated to the study and research of national bet365 games。1958，Jiang Mingdun and Li Minxiong、Two classmates Teng Yongran formed a "three-person group"，Out of campus，Towards the fields，Started folk bet365 games collection work。

They set their first stop for collecting folk songs in their hometown—Zhejiang。The folklore resources here are extremely rich，The "symphonic" Zhejiang gongs and drums are famous in the bet365 games industry。They took root in the fields for three months，Recording percussion with an old tape recorder，Carry out notation and theoretical analysis based on the recording and mimeograph it，Accumulated experience and left precious information for future generations to study。After that，They walked across mountains and rivers carrying a 20-pound tape recorder on their backs，To Shandong、Anhui、Jiangxi、Field collection in more than ten provinces including Fujian。Later，To compile "History of Chinese Opera Vocals"，They went to Jinhua Zhejiang Wu Opera Troupe to collect Zhuji Luantan’s bet365 games materials。These precious materials help us understand and study the history of folk bet365 games in our country，And vocals、Repertoire and performance features，Laid a solid foundation，Played an important role。The collection work of the "three-person team"，Not only rescued some folk bet365 games that was on the verge of being lost，It also creates a precedent for contemporary professional scholars to go into the field to study Chinese folk bet365 games。

Learn from the experts，Learn from the people！Experience in rescuing Zhuji Luantan，Made Jiang Mingdun realize that bet365 games does not only exist in the classroom、In the piano room and gorgeous stage，It is even more hidden in the hearts of the people，Echoing in the vast world。These songs and operas spread throughout the motherland，Opened up a new world for Jiang Mingdun’s academic career。

When you hear real folk songs on the land of the motherland，After going deep into the countryside and coming into contact with the simple people，Jiang Mingdun began to think about what “real” art is。The so-called "truth"，Just have roots。To master the fundamentals of art，You must love the land beneath your feet，We must continue to learn from the people。It is generations of scholars who have overcome the crude and difficult working conditions，hard-working、Be willing to be lonely，In-depth interviews and recordings in the fields during the day，Stay up late at night to sort out information，Measure the great rivers and mountains of the motherland with your feet，Rescue precious musical heritage with both hands，Digging as a Listener and a Rescuer、Rescue the profound treasure of folk bet365 games，This is how the musical cultural heritage hidden deep among the people can survive and be passed on。

Just when Jiang Mingdun was flourishing in academic research、The time of accumulation but little success，But encountered a dilemma。1966-1976，Jiang Mingdun’s academic research is almost at a standstill，But he was not depressed。In the meantime，He has read more than 30 Marxist classics，Understand that dialectical materialism and historical materialism are the theoretical basis of guiding ideology。This is not just a world view，It is also a methodology of academic research，Is the "golden key" for studying academic issues。With this key，can open the door to interdisciplinary research。

Many years later，When Mr. Jiang looked back on these years, he was calm and composed: Everyone’s career path is tortuous，There are good times and bad times。A blessing in disguise，How to know is not a blessing。With the guidance of Marxist theoretical methods，Combined with many years of practice of collecting folk customs，Mr. Jiang has personal experience of the close connection between aesthetics and traditional folk customs in traditional Chinese bet365 games。After in-depth research，He brought traditional Chinese philosophy、Achievements and research methods in folklore and other related disciplines，Learn from、Integrated into the study of traditional bet365 games in my country。

In the period of social transformation，The soil on which traditional bet365 games depends for survival has changed，Folk bet365 games faces the dilemma of being lost。1979，Dean He Luting reestablished the “Ethnic bet365 games Rescue Group”，Appoint Jiang Mingdun as team leader。He returned to the work of rescuing ethnic bet365 games，Lead Huang Bai、Lianbo、Huang Yunzhen、Wang Can、Li Minxiong、Teng Yongran and others，Go to Jiang、Zhejiang、皖、Chuan、Jin、Shaanxi and many other places，Folk songs of various ethnic groups in China that are on the verge of being lost、Rap bet365 games，Like Northern Shaanxi Storytelling、Qidong fishermen’s chant、Hunan folk songs、Yunnan folk songs、Suzhou Tanci and others launched rescue work。They organize various performing artists，Like Sun Yude of Jiangnan Sizhu、Xu Lixian of Suzhou Tanci，And the folk singer He Jiguang、Awang and others performed and recorded video，Accumulated a large amount of first-hand materials from field surveys and folk collecting，Rescued a large number of endangered bet365 games that was lost among the people。These precious materials，Provides precious first-hand information for academic research。

　　Academic and Administrative

1950s，Specialized research institutions focusing on my country’s ethnic bet365 games have been established one after another，The research field of "folk bet365 games research" or "ethnomusic theory" is rapidly expanding。Faced with the new topic of "how to build the discipline of Chinese ethnic bet365 games"，Several generations of musicians have devoted their sweat and wisdom。1959，Mr. Shen Zhibai first opened the "Oriental bet365 games" course at Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games，Consider "Oriental bet365 games" as part of national bet365 games theory。Early 1960s，The Ethnic bet365 games Theory Teaching and Research Group proposed the disciplinary framework of the “Ethnic bet365 games Theory Major”。After Jiang Mingdun became the dean，Absorb advanced foreign theoretical ideas，Attach importance to the position of subject construction in bet365 games education，Combined with the characteristics of Chinese national bet365 games，Developed a comprehensive discipline development plan，And proposed specific research methods。

Late 1970s，Ethnomusicology by foreign scholars、Academic works on musical anthropology are gradually introduced into China，Opens a “window” for academics to learn Western bet365 games theory。At that time，Western ethnomusicology research mainly focuses on two aspects: First, the study of bet365 games in culture defined by anthropologist Merriam。The second is the view put forward by American scholar Hood，That is, ethnomusicology is a method of studying all bet365 games，It is not only the study of bet365 games itself，Also study the cultural context surrounding this bet365 games，This view emphasizes that the subject of ethnomusicology research is primarily bet365 games。This research method is different from Chinese national bet365 games，Opens up a new research perspective for Chinese scholars。

About ethnic bet365 games theory，The first person to introduce it to our country was Japanese scholar Tanabe Naozu、Kishi Shigeo、Academic works by Osamu Yamaguchi and others。Jiang Mingdun translated "Ethnic bet365 games and Ethnomusicology" by Osamu Yamaguchi。Jiang Mingdun in the process of research and study，In-depth thinking on Chinese ethnomusic theory and Western ethnomusicology。He thinks，Chinese national bet365 games theory attaches great importance to field investigation、Collect information、Notation and translation、Audio and video，Its research on the ontology of bet365 games is more in-depth than Western ethnomusicology，And artistic creation、Art practice is also more closely integrated。Western ethnomusicology has rich theoretical accumulation，With Anthropology、Musicology、Folklore and other theoretical support，Based on rigorous speculative logic，In an objective way、More accurate、Analyzing bet365 games using rational thinking methods，His research focuses on the relationship between bet365 games and culture as a whole。Chinese ethnomusicology focuses more on the study of bet365 games ontology，Good at analyzing microscopic musical forms。He proposed to combine the research advantages of Western ethnomusicology with the research advantages of Chinese ethnomusicology，Carry out interdisciplinary research，The two can learn from each other、Hand in hand。Jiang Mingdun’s global academic vision and macro-thinking on the construction of my country’s ethnic bet365 games discipline，Provided assistance for the formation of the development pattern of my country's national bet365 games theory。

1984，Jiang Mingdun is appointed as Party Secretary of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games，Served as President of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games in 1991，And concurrently serves as a member of the artistic discipline evaluation group of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council。Jiang Mingdun transformed from a scholar into a decision-maker leading the development of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games。During the 20 years as dean，He is an older generation of scholars、Leadership as role model，Dedicated，Working hard，Make a clear plan for the comprehensive development of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games，Remarkable achievements have been made in the construction and development of disciplines。He led his colleagues at Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games to train a large number of bet365 games performing artists and outstanding bet365 games educators，Continuously advance my country’s bet365 games education。

bet365 games education major is a traditional major of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games。As early as early 1927，The National Conservatory of bet365 games (the predecessor of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games) has established a "specialty course"，Later changed to "Normal College"。1929，The National Conservatory of bet365 games was renamed as the National Vocational College，Added to teach bet365 games theory and technology，High school teacher training course with the purpose of cultivating bet365 games professionals and primary and secondary school teachers。1964，The bet365 games education major of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games has been discontinued with the graduation of the last batch of graduates。

1980s，In view of the backward status and existing problems of national bet365 games education，Lü Ji、He Luting and other 37 scholars jointly wrote the "Recommendation on Strengthening School bet365 games Education"，Proposed to pay attention to theoretical research on bet365 games education，Preparing institutions and disciplines for bet365 games education in central and local education and research departments。1995，According to Mr. He Luting’s wishes，Jiang Mingdun comprehensively considers the cultural positioning of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games in the “Ninth Five-Year Plan”、Historical positioning and national positioning，The goal is to establish the three major systems of "professional bet365 games education", "school bet365 games education" and "social bet365 games education"。At the 1996 "Shanghai bet365 games Education Seminar"，His thoughts on the development of bet365 games education discipline，Received support and recognition from Mr. He Luting and Liao Naixiong, former director of the bet365 games Research Institute of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games and others。1997，On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games，In response to the development requirements of the new era，Under the difficult conditions that the Ministry of Culture (now the Ministry of Culture and Tourism) agreed to establish the relationship but did not increase funding and staffing，Jiang Mingdun received strong support from the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission and formally established the Department of bet365 games Education and enrolled students in the same year，Jiang Mingdun serves as department director。At the same time，He clarified the policy of the Department of bet365 games Education，Take "bet365 games Education" as the main course，Piano and vocal bet365 games as professional basic courses，Support the introduction of Orff、Kodály、Dalcroze bet365 games Teaching Method，Put training into bet365 games education theory、Teaching Management、Theoretical research such as subject construction is set as teaching goals for primary and secondary school bet365 games teachers。Establishment of the Department of bet365 games Education and Establishment of Teaching Objectives，Making great contributions to promoting the development of bet365 games education in China，A milestone in the development history of contemporary bet365 games education in China。

　Teaching research and inheritance

During Jiang Mingdun’s tenure as the dean of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games，Always insist on teaching，And continue to work hard in the field of folk bet365 games that I love。In teaching，Jiang Mingdun often said，Folk bet365 games is our eternal teacher，my country’s folk bet365 games has the characteristics of “composing simple and traditional tunes”，Frequently use "moistening cavity"。The so-called "moistening" refers to various embellishments on the melody during impromptu singing，To reflect different bet365 games styles，Or the emotions and artistic personality displayed by the performer in different situations，There is a certain degree of improvisation。The core of our research should be the ontology of bet365 games，my country’s traditional bet365 games mainly relies on the method of “oral transmission and heart teaching”，In this way，Want to do good research on folk bet365 games，Need to go to the private sector for field collecting，Singing and notation are the most important academic training in field collection。First, notation，Mr. Jiang divides notation into three types，One is for detailed recording，One is shorthand，One is silent memory，The three are sometimes combined，But based on detailed notes，To moisten the cavity、Little musical note、Yiyin、Boeing、tremolo、Remember the portamento together。He emphasizes that these notes are small，But it’s important，These small notes are the style characteristics of folk songs。To this，Mr. Jiang’s disciples recalled at the “bet365 games Education Thought Seminar on the 60th Anniversary of Professor Jiang Mingdun’s Teaching”，Mr. does not follow the traditional sight-singing and ear-training training method and follows the existing bet365 games scores to sight-sing or sing along，But spend a lot of time noting bet365 games，Let students use all their attention and hearing to record the fleeting moments in singing、ever-changing、"Moistening tone" with subtle changes from the standard pitch。For the examples in the textbook，Whether it is folk songs or opera，Jiang Mingdun is even more handy，Sing casually，From dialect to accent，From emotion to tone，All are full of charm，Three days around the beam。Jiang Mingdun allows students to experience more than just the tune of folk songs、Style、Genre，It is also the people’s thoughts and feelings。As Professor Huang Bai of Shanghai Conservatory of bet365 games said: "Mr. Jiang creates spiritual wealth while creating cultural wealth；What Mr. Jiang taught me is the true meaning of folk songs，Not a body，But the soul！”

Pay attention to the tracing of the history of folk bet365 games in my country，It is also a focus of Jiang Mingdun’s traditional folk bet365 games research。Compared to court bet365 games、Literati bet365 games and piano scores, etc.，There are few documented records of folk bet365 games。But when Jiang Mingdun studied 16 representative seasonal tunes such as "Meng Jiangnu Diao", "Yinnusi Diao", "Flower Flower Diao" and "Wu Geng Diao"，Read the literature、Tracing to the source，Combining the region and time of spread，Use field and historical data to support each other、Research Methods of bet365 games Morphological Analysis，Widens the depth and breadth of folk bet365 games research。Jiang Mingdun said，More scholars must do the hard work of researching Chinese ethnic bet365 games，Need to translate lost bet365 games scores，The legacy of resurrection for thousands of years！

　"Source" and "Dome"

After accumulating a large amount of folk song information over the years，Jiang Mingdun began to think about how to find the artistic rules of Chinese folk songs in the ocean of folk songs，How to bring folk bet365 games into professional classrooms，How to enable bet365 games workers to create more artistic works with the characteristics of my country’s national bet365 games。To solve the above problems，The industry is in urgent need of a book with both teaching and academic attributes to connect the link from folk bet365 games to professional teaching。

After more than 20 years of extensive collection and in-depth research on folk songs，Jiang Mingdun published "Introduction to Han Folk Songs" in 1982, which was both a textbook and an academic monograph。This book selects 324 representative Han folk songs from 24 provinces，Start with the study of Han folk songs，Scientifically divided folk song genre categories，It is my country’s first systematic and comprehensive monograph on folk song teaching and research。The whole book discusses the formation of Han folk song genre、Development、Expression method、Musical characteristics and rhythm of the melody、Spin method、Mode Tonality、Form structure、Development techniques、Scientifically divided styles, colors, and the relationship between accents and words，Explore the laws of the development of folk song art in my country through comprehensive analysis，Provides methods and reference for researchers。Qiao Jianzhong, former director of the bet365 games Research Institute of the China Academy of Arts, commented on this book: it is the first more systematic and comprehensive textbook and monograph on Han folk songs，Its status cannot be ignored。

Jiang Mingdun takes academics as his ambition，Dedicate yourself to academic career，I am willing to devote my life to it。After quitting the leadership position，He still keeps writing every day，Strive to study my country’s national bet365 games from a philosophical and aesthetic perspective，Further exploring the characteristics and patterns of folk bet365 games。With the accumulation of teaching experience and cultural accumulation，His research scope gradually expanded from bet365 games to closely related disciplines。Studying folk songs、The form and structure of national bet365 games，He is not directly applying Western theory，But creatively form your own research logic，To integrate Chinese and Western bet365 games，And interpret Chinese traditional bet365 games from the philosophical level and the psychological level of national culture。

　2007，Compiled by Mr. Jiang Mingdun、"Chinese Ethnic bet365 games" (Third Edition) published by Higher Education Press has become the "National Planning Textbook for General Higher Education in the 11th Five-Year Plan"。"Introduction to Chinese Folk bet365 games" published by Shanghai bet365 games Publishing House in 2016，It is the result of Jiang Mingdun’s many years of experience in teaching Chinese traditional bet365 games theory courses。The book focuses on three aspects: "characteristic theory", "genre theory" and "morphology theory"，Cleaned up a large amount of first-hand information on my country’s folk bet365 games，Explore its rules。Jiang Mingdun pointed out，Chinese folk bet365 games has Chinese culture、Folk Literature and Art、Three major characteristics of bet365 games art，And organically combined。At the same time，According to the characteristics of the work，Chinese folk bet365 games can be divided into folk songs、Folk instrumental bet365 games、Folk bet365 games、Four types of opera bet365 games。This work is not only academically innovative，It is even different from the past in terms of research methods，Contains the majestic power of the Chinese nation，It can be called a major achievement in the construction of Chinese bet365 games theory，It is of great significance to the theoretical construction of Chinese traditional bet365 games and the innovative development of Chinese academics。Jiang Mingdun as a pioneer of ethnomusicology theory，His career is academic，Striving for academic excellence，Humble and low-key character，It is a precious spiritual wealth for future generations。

Jiang Mingdun often said，I love my major，The biggest charm of this major is that it is beautiful，There are abundant resources，There are still many mysteries，Attracts me to continue exploring and thinking。

Time flies，Mr. Jiang Mingdun has reached the age of 10，But he is still busy on the front lines of teaching and scientific research，Guid students with care and actively participate in academic activities，Continuing in "True Beauty among the People，Practice on the road of "endless exploration"。He always cares about the growth of the next generation，Never stopped preaching for them、Teaching、Resolve doubts。Great love has no boundaries，Mr. Jiang Mingdun devotes all his efforts to the bet365 games career of the party and the people！
