Eating an overly sumptuous staff meal, Mr. Tang suddenly sighed and said: "It's not easy to do anything now, a classmate of mine who learns musical instruments, and his family sells pianos, and now the piano can maintain 30% of the sales of previous years, which is already very good." ”

"And now there are fewer and fewer children learning piano, but there are more people learning vocal music."

"It's normal, in the long run, learning vocal music is more useful than learning piano, in fact, the piano is a very small input-output ratio, if you learn vocal music, even if you can't become a singer or something, but when you grow up, you can howl in KTV, or when you are studying, performing programs or something, isn't it also very advantageous."

Zhao Sheng smiled and said.

"In this environment, all the things that enjoyed ultra-high premiums in the past but were actually of low value will be shattered one after another in the next few years."

"Diamonds, watches, high-end Japanese food, high-end liquor, sky-high collection of tea, as well as those antiques and stamps that have not been taken over by young people, these are all bursting bubbles in the future."

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said with a sigh.

"If you practice piano, for ordinary children, before the upper grades of primary school, it is still good to practice cultivating sentiment and cultivating musical literacy. Nowadays, many children are repeatedly practicing those exam tunes, and the children themselves are very bored, as soon as the certificate is in hand, or as soon as the study pressure comes up, they will give up completely. ”

"The piano, if you really want to practice to a professional level, you must rely on this to eat, in terms of talent, it must be one in a thousand or even one in a thousand."

Mrs. Ai Ling also said.

As the dean of the vocal music department of Zhongdu Conservatory of Music, it is obvious that Ai Ling has a lot of say in terms of artistic training.

"From a practical point of view, it is better to learn suona, the aging will be so serious in the future, and the employment rate of suona will definitely be higher than that of the piano."

"And the atmosphere of the live performance, what instrument can compare to suona."

Unguarded, Zhao Sheng came to say this.

"Haha~"

When Teacher Tang heard this, he immediately laughed.

Ai Ling also smiled.

"In people's martial arts, the young man plays a jade flute, a guqin and the like, and the fairy spirit is fluttering, who will play suona."

Teacher Tang said with a smile.

"Moreover, learning piano and violin and the like, you can also practice at home, if the child practices suona at home at night, even if the neighbor doesn't do it first, I think there is a banquet."

After a pause, Mr. Tang said again.

"If you use the piano to accompany you when you do white things and eat dinners, I'm afraid there won't be so many parents who are desperate to let their children learn the piano and want to become elegant."

Zhao Sheng said.

"The debate between elegance and vulgarity is actually more obvious in the vocal music world."

"Real music is to serve the public, as long as more people listen to it, as long as it can be popular among the public, it is actually good."

"For example, there have been many pop songs recently that are mixed with drama, but in fact, these singing methods are not dramas at all, they are pop singing methods with their voices pinched, and the real drama must be sharpened by opera artists for ten years, plus ten years of work on stage."

"But these songs also promote opera, so that more people can learn about opera through this form, and that's enough."

Ailing said.

From the controversy between the elegance and the vulgarity of musical instruments, Ai Ling thought of the vocal music world, and there is also this kind of controversy.

"There are arguments everywhere, the debate between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, there has always been a debate, and it will never go away."

Zhao Sheng also said.

"Then do you support Chinese medicine or Western medicine?"

Hearing Zhao Sheng say this, Teacher Tang asked curiously.

"Do you know how artemisinin was discovered?"

Zhao Sheng didn't answer the original question, but asked rhetorically.

"It was discovered by Academician Tu Youyou."

Teacher Tang replied.

"Academician Tu has studied a lot of antimalarial prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, and found that most of these prescriptions have a medicine, that is, Artemisia annua."

"That's why we started with Artemisia annua and used modern chemistry to finally extract artemisinin."

"Do you think this is Chinese medicine or Western medicine?"

Zhao Sheng said slowly.

The controversy between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, in Zhao Sheng's view, does not exist at all.

He was a pragmatist, and he used whatever was useful.

If one day, modern scientific instruments can detect the meridian system and be able to directly observe people's qi, then he will also be happy to learn the latest technology and knowledge.

"In my opinion, Chinese medicine is just the traditional medicine of our country, nothing more, in ancient times, all regions and countries in the world have produced their own traditional medicine, for the same disease, different theoretical guidance, diagnosis and treatment may be completely different."

"In fact, in most countries, traditional medicine has been completely replaced by modern medicine, and our traditional Chinese medicine, after the emergence of modern medicine, can still be handed down, which has proved the excellence of traditional Chinese medicine."

Zhao Sheng said objectively.

"And there is also a very interesting phenomenon, all traditional technologies, especially in our country, are not as good as the ancient, the apprentices are not as good as the teachers, and the generations are not as good as the generations."

"For example, everyone has the impression that the martial arts masters in ancient times were more powerful than now, and the former miracle doctors were also more powerful than the current Chinese medicine."

"But no one would think that the sprint world champion of 100 years ago was faster than it is now, nor would they think that the level of surgery 100 years ago was higher than it is now."

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said again.

"Didn't you say that a lot of secret recipes have been lost, because men are not passed on to women, and they are left for apprentices or something."

Teacher Tang said with some curiosity.

"Passing on the son to the man but not to the woman, leaving a hand for the apprentice, that is the ancient patent protection, in ancient times, there was a craft, knew a secret recipe, it was able to eat for several generations, such an important thing, it must not be handed over to others casually."

"In modern times, in fact, traditional Chinese medicine should be better combined with modern medicine, for example, Academician Tu Youyou, there is a Chinese medicine prescription of Artemisia annua, and the antimalarial effect may only be forty or fifty percent of the efficacy, but Academician Tu extracts the active ingredient artemisinin, which can exert a hundred percent of the medicinal effect, even if the ancients who studied these prescriptions saw it, shouldn't they be happy about it."

Zhao Sheng explained very seriously.

"That is, Ah Sheng's idea is really pragmatic."

Mrs. Ai Ling also agreed with what Zhao Sheng said, which was exactly the same as what Yu Zhongbo said, so she really deserved to be a teacher and student.

As the saying goes, if you are not a family, you don't enter a family, it is because Zhao Sheng and Yu Zhongbo's three views are highly consistent that the two can become teachers and students.
