Extended data:
Liu Beimao is one of the founders of Liu Tianhua Erhu School, the most direct and outstanding inheritor and developer. From the untimely death of Liu Tianhua in 1932 to the 1960s, Liu Beimao made great contributions to the teaching, performance and creation of erhu, which played a role in connecting the past with the future and filling the historical gap.
Liu Beimao should have an indispensable glorious chapter in the history of modern music in China. He is the "Van Gogh" of China's music industry. The value of his artistic achievements is far from being recognized by us. As time goes on, his research work will be more and more in-depth, and his talent will become more and more obvious.
Some scholars vividly say that Liu Beimao's works are like a newly opened Dunhuang art treasure house, and the dazzling music wealth needs people to know and appreciate. Mr. Liu Beimao said before his death: "Music and musicians first serve people who don't engage in music."
This is the most precious portrayal of civilian music thought and humanistic spirit throughout Mr. Bei Mao's life, and he is a well-deserved generation of national music masters.
Mr. Liu Beimao has been engaged in the creation, performance and education of national instrumental music all his life and made outstanding contributions. Mr. Liu's personality, high morality and integrity, regards life as a child's play, which shows the noble quality and personality charm of an upright patriotic intellectual.
Under the new historical conditions, we should inherit the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, use the moral construction requirements of patriotism, socialism and communism, strengthen the construction of teachers' morality and style, emphasize learning to be a teacher and be a model, "teachers are easy to meet, but teachers are hard to meet", overcome the mentality of quick success and impetuous, and resist the impact of the tide of market economy on sacred teaching, education and scientific research.
Mr. Liu Beimao has taught and educated people all his life, and has trained foreign language music talents with both ability and political integrity from generation to generation. Mr. Liu Beimao's music creation and performance practice not only inherited Mr. Nai Tianhua's creative ideas, but also created many excellent contemporary music, which developed the performance function of Erhu, a national instrumental music.
In the creation and performance of erhu music, we should bring forth the new and make foreign things serve China. On the basis of absorbing western music, we should stick to the road of music development with China characteristics. This artistic development path of combining ancient and modern, eclectic and comprehensive innovation is exactly what we should explore in the process of building a new socialist culture.
Through the creation and performance of erhu music, Mr. Liu Beimao inherited and developed Mr. Naixiong Tianhua's artistic thought, and pushed the ancient national instrumental music to the art palace of the world.
