The beginning of modern music in China-the era of school music and songs. 1902, the Qing court promulgated the school regulations, 1905, and the imperial examination was abolished. Modern education in China began with the establishment of new schools, and music, as a way of aesthetic education, played an important role in the minds of the advanced figures of that era. Mr Cai Yuanpei paid great attention to and supported China's early music education. Ceng Zhi, Li Shutong, Shen Xingong and others have played a vital role in the development of school songs in China. The appearance of school music songs has historical particularity, which is largely "brought", that is, when there is a lack of modern composers in China, a direct and convenient way is to bring foreign tunes as lyrics. These tunes are mainly from Japan, and some of them are European folk songs imported from Japan, and new words are filled in. Because the new school song does not need hardware equipment, it is very convenient to promote and has great influence. It has influenced countless teenagers in music culture and music aesthetic concept. Before and after the Revolution of 1911, school music and songs played an ideological role and became a powerful weapon to "unite the people, educate them, attack the enemy and destroy them". Although it is almost impossible for modern music to survive in the vast rural areas of China, in urban villages and towns, wherever modern education is popular, school music and songs will inevitably affect the new generation. When summing up her artistic career in her later years, Wang Kun, an old singer, emphasized that folk music and school songs laid the initial musical foundation for her, which is a vivid example. 1902, under the background of abolishing the imperial examination system and opening new schools, emerging schools opened music courses. Of course, the content of music courses at that time was relatively simple, mainly teaching and singing school songs. The school songs we refer to are the campus songs from the early 20th century to the 1930s. School music songs have been established for nearly a hundred years, which is an enlightenment music movement in the music history of China.
