Main achievements
style of art
On the one hand, Bao Yuankai keeps absorbing nutrients and essence from folk music, and absorbs the composition techniques of western music, turning China's folk songs into a work of art. Folk song is a primary art. A real professional work of art needs high-level artistic treatment, which he has achieved and succeeded in.
Artistic ideas
"Counterpoint is more important than harmony in composition training. In particular, the counterpoint of two parts is the foundation of composition Bao Yuankai
Music Teaching
Professor Bao Yuankai has been teaching for 40 years. Among his direct disciples are Wang Xian, who won the TV flying sky award twice for his TV Series Music "Empty Mirror" and "how steel is made"; Liu Tong, who cooperated with famous director Zhang Yimou to create a new musical "impression of Third Sister Liu"; and Liu Tong, who won the first Chinese music creation "Golden Bell Award" and many Symphonies for his unique Violin Concerto Liu Changyuan, the composer of the song, includes Wu Jiaji, who is famous for his songs "Great Northern Wilderness" and "a big tree", Wang Xiaoyong, the author of the TV series "love you not to discuss", Chu Xingyuan, the author of the song "land surrounded by auspicious clouds", and Professor Sun Guangjun, the dean of the Art College of Tianjin Normal University, who is unique in the field of Chinese ancient music score research. In Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, there is also an active group of composers composed of his disciples. After that, Professor Bao trained a group of musicologists in Taiwan, preparing a vigorous force for the joint revitalization of Chinese culture on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
In 2005, Professor Bao won the excellent music education award of Yongxi District of the Ministry of culture for his composition teaching achievements in the Conservatory of music of Tianjin University. Since then, he has shifted from undergraduate teaching to graduate teaching, and shifted the focus of professional teaching and discipline construction to comprehensive universities. He has made fruitful efforts for the discipline transformation of Xiamen University's Art College from a normal university to a professional one, and formulated a refreshing school running tenet: "relying on the comprehensive university, taking art creation as the center, taking learning as well as Chinese and Western as the basis, and taking developing potential as the goal, he cultivates both civic consciousness and independent personality, inheriting excellent traditions and being rich in innovation God's art talent ".
His rich practical experience, profound cultural accomplishment and pragmatic teaching concept have formed his unique music education thought. Professor Bao Yuankai summed up his experience in art education for many years into 16 words: self righteous, seeking differences and similarities, not seeking understanding, and being complacent. First, "self righteous". It is to encourage students' self-confidence through various effective methods. He often said: "self-confidence makes people progress, inferiority makes people lag behind", "good students are not scolded, but boasted.". As for the irony of "say you can do it, you can do it; say no, you can't do it, you can't do it." it means the law of education, which is exactly the leather Marion effect and Rosenthal Effect of "if you want to do it" in psychology. Second, "seeking differences while reserving similarities". That is to say, art must avoid "the same" and pursue "the different", so that it can be out of its category and out of its essence. Third, "no understanding". The saying comes from Tao Yuanming that he is good at reading and does not seek profound understanding. Whenever he has understanding, he will happily forget to eat It is said that people's energy is limited, and it is impossible to be precise in everything: "I have a limit in my life, but I know that there is no limit. If I have a limit, I want to have no limit. It's almost enough.". A wide range of rough browsing can broaden our horizons. "Every time you know something, you will forget to eat." when you find something consistent with your personality, interest and pursuit, you should go from the outside to the inside and study the reason. Du Fu said that "reading can break ten thousand volumes, and writing can be done with a spirit" is the truth, but how can we "break ten thousand volumes" if we want to understand everything? Fourth, "get carried away". That is to get its "meaning" (artistic conception, verve) and forget its "shape" (technology, form). The cultivation of "shape" is ultimately for "meaning". "The great sound is hard to hear. The great form has no shape." Professor Bao often quotes Confucius' saying that "those who know are inferior to those who are good, and those who are good are inferior to those who are happy" to criticize some professional music teachers or students who take music as their major but turn music into technology, theory and material. "In terms of feeling, these people don't necessarily have a richer and deeper understanding of music than non professional music lovers," he said.
Professor Bao Yuankai has been changing his role between music creation and professional teaching. He said: composing and teaching composing are actually two different ways of thinking. The former is to jump out of the commonness, find and play their own artistic personality, while the latter is to sum up the commonness from the different styles of art of the former people, and tell the students the regularity.
