II. Music can enlighten wisdom
Music can enlighten human wisdom, enhance human intelligence, he is a kind of human intelligence ? catalyst? Music as a means to develop intelligence and improve intelligence, has been increasingly recognized.
From the point of view of psychology, to measure the intelligence of people, there are generally these standards: First, attention and observation is strong or not, whether the reaction is sensitive; Second, memory and imagination is strong or not, whether the mind is flexible; Third, thinking and creativity is strong or not, whether the ability to be bright?
Because in the process of learning ** music, people are bound to use a lot of physiological organs, in the brain under the unified command of the nerves, so that a variety of physiological organs coordinated movement. Therefore, learning ** music can make a person's visual, auditory, tactile and other senses to get good training, which will inevitably develop the attention and observation, so that people's response to sensitive up.
Music is the art of time, music is with the time to do dynamic presentation, fleeting. People must pay attention to cultivate their inner sense of music, deepen the degree of perception of music, which should start from the development of music memory, and do a good job of inputting, storing and processing music information. Then, on this basis, develop one's imagination to combine and play creatively the musical information stored in memory with the aesthetic experience accumulated from life, and make new feedback. In this process, one's mind becomes flexible.
Imagination is a form of image thinking. Imagination is rich, thinking activity is agile, and then will improve the abstract thinking ability and the ability to synthesize the retreat. In addition, the mastery of the knowledge of music harmony, song pattern, etc., can promote the development of logical thinking. Thinking power and creativity are a bunch of pro-people partners, thinking ability is developed, the human brain is developed, it will inevitably lead to the enhancement of creativity.
Music activities can also cultivate many non-intellectual factors of talent, such as: self-control, self-confidence, concentration, sociability, and endurance, perseverance and so on. According to physiological research: the human brain is divided into the left and right hemispheres, the left hemisphere is logical thinking, with the calculation and language and other logical skills, the right hemisphere is the image of thinking, with emotions, feelings, beauty and other non-logical functions of consciousness. Learning ** music can stimulate the function of the right hemisphere, but also make the left hemisphere rest, improve the efficiency of the left hemisphere. Especially learning ** all kinds of musical instruments (keyboard instruments, as well as a variety of blowing, pulling, playing, knocking musical instruments,) need to pay attention to the flexibility of the hands, accuracy, coordination, the need to properly express the instrument should be the speed and strength. This allows for a balanced development of the human brain, avoiding the atrophy and degradation of certain physiological and psychological functions of human beings as a result of one-sided high-intelligence education.
Some of the research on early childhood intellectual development experience proved that: childhood is the most sensitive and plastic period of various senses. Children's hearing, memory, imitation, imagination, as long as the direction of the beauty of the timely evoked training, will soon be developed. One becomes intelligent, articulate and lively. Music as the kernel and driving force of the art of movement can promote the comprehensive and coordinated development of children's multiple organs.
The first person in the world to design a flapping-wing airplane was Leonardo da Vinci, a painter who studied both music and mechanics. Darwin in the "Origin of Species" also discussed the role of music to promote intelligence: ? The loss of the love of music undoubtedly loses a portion of happiness, and even affects the intellect? ,? If I were to live another lifetime, I would listen to more music to keep alive the weakened parts of my brain? The great scientist Albert Einstein took music as an important source of his scientific inventions, and he not only loved music, but also took it as a set of complementary parts with science. His epoch-making theory of relativity was born with the sound of his piano. One day he said to his wife: ? My dear, I have a marvelous idea ? After saying this, he began to talk about the piano, he played and stopped, talked violently about a few notes, and then said to himself: ? I have a marvelous idea? In this way for several days, a moment in the upstairs thinking, a moment downstairs to play the piano, half a month later, he finished writing the Theory of Relativity. Therefore some people compare the theory of relativity to his composition of ? Symphony?

The light music created for the general audience, and the various forms of popular music that appear today, are created for the purpose of entertainment and recreation for the world's general audience. It is symphonic music and other advanced forms of musical works, in the listener to obtain a **, enlightenment and logical form of reasoning, there is also the same entertainment factor. Because the listener in the appreciation of music, evoking emotions and understanding of the work at the same time, the human energy has been in the music with the emotional trigger to release, so that consciously and unconsciously to obtain a kind of energy transfer happiness, while playing the role of rest.
Music can make people maintain vigorous energy and eliminate the fatigue of monotonous labor. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Guan Zhong accompanied Duke Huan of Qi on his expedition, encountered dangerous mountains and steep hills blocking the way, the road is difficult, the warriors are tired of exhaustion. Seeing this scene, Guan Zhong immediately wrote a magnificent "song on the mountain" and "song down the mountain", the warriors you sing and I and the rotation of the fast, over the mountains and mountains, as if walking on the ground. Duke Huan of Qi saw such a spectacle, busy asking the reason, Guan Zhong said: ? All the people who labor in their form tired of their God, the God of the people who forget their body. Hearing this, Duke Huan of Qi sighed and said: ? I realized today that human strength can be gained from singing. Now, many countries are researching and developing how music can improve work efficiency and promote labor production. So? Functional music? Production music? Background music? and so on came into being.
In the United States, whether it is restaurants, hotels, airports, stores, factories, farms, everywhere you can hear soft and bright, or urgent and exciting music, which is called ? background music? Background music can affect the mood and emotions of people, thus affecting the psychological and physiological burden of a person's behavior, reduce the work of tension, boredom and fatigue, ease the labor mood, improve work efficiency. In some hotels, equipped with specialized audio equipment, when travelers sleep, you can press a sound device of a certain set of buttons, you will hear what is known as ? Physiological music? The lullaby, you sleep more peacefully, more comfortable.

Four. Music can promote physical and mental health
Excellent music works, as people on the spiritual food and thought nourishment, has a strong artistic infectious force, will give people a sense of beauty, **, a sense of pleasure, will cause the appreciator's *** song thus prompting people's physical and mental health to get healthy development. The Analects? Shui Er" chapter cited Confucius in the state of Qi when he heard one of the six music used in the Zhou Dynasty, "xiao shao", was moved to ? He was so moved that he did not know the taste of meat for three months. The story is told in the Duanhuan (述而), which is about Confucius. Du Fu, after listening to the musician Hua Jingding's performance, marveled in his poem "Gift to Hua Qing": "This piece of music should only be found in heaven. This piece of music should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to hear it on earth! After listening to Beethoven's "Passion Sonata" played on the piano, Lenin said to Gorky: ? I don't know anything better than the Passion Sonata, and I would listen to it every day. It is marvelous, music like no other on earth?
What is it about music that gives it this magical power? From the physiological point of view: human movement is tension and relaxation, can be anxious and slow, a variety of human physiological activities exist in rhythm, especially the heart beat and breathing, and rhythm has a close connection. The right hemisphere of the human brain in the acceptance of music under good stimulation, there will be many active excitatory points, and the right hemisphere of the brain in the acceptance of sound under good stimulation, there will be much active excitatory points, and the limbic system of the brain and the brainstem reticulation of the structure of the brain to produce a direct effect. Therefore, when the music through the auditory organs into the central nervous system, the sound of this sound on the ** cerebral cortex to produce good stimulation, is the brain and nervous system in a positive state of excitement, so that the person vibrant, refreshed. Because the melody contains a rich rhythm, if the rhythm of the music and the rhythm of the body to play a role in the rhythm and promotion, people will feel the blood flow, the whole body is full of youthful vigor.
And then from the perspective of psychology: music using rhythm, pitch, intensity, speed, harmony, polyphony, tune, orchestration and so on. Performance on the back of the hair, with colorful, colorful changes, through the rich associations and imagination of the appreciators, there will be a static in the vivid, to false, false instead of real, by the object and people, from ancient times to the present, communication between Chinese and foreign changes in the heart. Thus, the extremely surging waves of emotion, is the admirer immersed in the musicians portrayed in the artistic mood, to obtain spiritual fulfillment.
The medical function of music has attracted widespread attention from the world medical community. It is believed that music can stimulate and regulate the nervous system, so that the human body secretes biochemical substances beneficial to health, to maintain a regular bowel movement, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system also has a good effect.

Music therapy will be widely used in clinical and health care. However, irritable, crazy music will also affect people's health. According to the newspaper, there are two psychologists in West Germany, had three bands of 208 people to carry out interesting tests. It was found that most of the members of the bands that played mainly classical music were pleasant and peaceful people; while the members of the bands that also played modernist music and those that specialized in modernist music suffered from different degrees of mental anguish. More than seventy percent of the latter two bands had severe mental allergies, more than sixty percent were impatient and quarrelsome, more than twenty percent became depressed and suffered from insomnia, headaches, earaches, diarrhea, and a few had heart attacks.

All of the above rhythmic, dance physical exercise plays an important role in the improvement of human physical quality.
Further, today's competitive sports have been permeated with music in many ways. The United States in swimming, hurdles, wrestling and other sports, the use of musical accompaniment to stimulate the athletes' physical skills and stabilize the psychological state, in order to seek to improve athletic ability. The Soviet Union, according to the needs of sports physiology and sports psychology, divides music into welcome music, start training music, and assist training music to help eliminate psychological tension and even lift fatigue in order to improve the efficiency of training. Always, music for the promotion of human health has other subjects irreplaceable role.
It can be seen that the music that can inspire morale, but also lax military mentality; that is, to make people upward, but also people withered and decadent; that is, to ignite the spark of the soul, but also to develop human wisdom; that is, to spread the pollen of love, but also inspire hatred of the thunder and lightning; he can decorate the life, add fun, to meet the requirements of aesthetics, and has the ability to cultivate sentiments, cultivate morality, eliminate fatigue, and promote health. This is the function of music
