On August 16, the "China in Children's Voices" national children's chorus performance will be held in Nantong. Representatives of outstanding children's choruses from all over the country will gather on the banks of the river and the sea, sing the most moving melodies, sing praises to the beautiful mountains and rivers, embrace the colorful years, and imagine a better future.
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, further strengthen patriotism education for children, and give full play to the unique role of aesthetic education in cultivating morality and cultivating people, the Central Office for Spiritual Civilization Construction and other 7 departments jointly launched the "China in Children's Voices" national children's chorus activity. Since the deployment of the activity in April this year, Jiangsu has actively organized and widely mobilized primary and secondary school students to carry out various forms of chorus activities inside and outside the school, singing the main theme of the era of loving the party, loving the country, and loving socialism.
In recent years, Jiangsu has focused on moral education and created an innovative "child" series of aesthetic education activity brands. Based in Jiangsu and facing the whole country, it has continued to carry out a series of activities such as "China in Children's Voices", "Poems in Children's Hearts", "Colors in Children's Innocence", and "The World in Fairy Tales", constantly improving the timeliness, participation and influence of the activities, nourishing children's hearts with aesthetic education, and cultivating new people of the era who are responsible for the great task of national rejuvenation.
Use art to nourish the heart and sow the seeds of aesthetic education
In recent days, at the Ruichun Grand Theater of Nantong Tongzhou District Experimental Primary School, the children of the Ruichun Choir have been rehearsing diligently in preparation for the "China in Children's Voices" performance.
This year, since the launch of the "China in Children's Voices" national children's chorus activity, it has attracted more than 10 million primary and secondary school students across the country to participate. "I am in China's smile, I am the sweet dimple; I am in China's spring, I am the blooming flower..." This children's song "China in Children's Voices" has been sung by children one after another.
Jiangsu Province combines the "June 1st" and "July 1st" and other time nodes and festivals to carry out various forms of chorus activities inside and outside the campus, guiding students to widely sing excellent songs praising the Party, the motherland, the Chinese nation, and their hometowns. At present, the province has carried out more than 8,700 performances and exhibitions of various types, with more than 7,690 choruses and more than 919,500 people participating, constantly setting off a new wave.
In beautiful campuses, children's voices are like songs, full of vitality and vigor, forming a good atmosphere of "every school has activities and every class participates". Suzhou held the "Children's Voices and Music Singing in Suzhou" children's chorus performance event, with nearly 3,000 teachers and students from 55 kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools participating; Zhenjiang organized 193 teams and 6,327 people to participate in 15 county (city, district) chorus performances of "China in Children's Voices". The children sang the innocence and dreams of childhood with clear voices, and smiled confidently and happily.
Jiangsu has promoted the "China in Children's Voices" to be displayed in various forms inside and outside schools, and its influence has continued to spread outward like ripples. Yangzhou organized the recording of a chorus flash mob, and jointly launched a chorus video integrated media product with local radio and television production, allowing the singing to transcend the screen and touch people's hearts; Nanjing, Zhenjiang and other places have carried out the "China in Children's Voices" children's chorus video collection and display activities to promote the popularity of chorus among children.
With the efforts of all parties, more and more children are able to improve their musical literacy under professional guidance and enjoy the fun of chorus. This year, Jiangsu's "Music Master Class" introduced well-known lyricists, composers, choir conductors and other expert resources to campuses and new era civilization practice positions, bringing a musical feast to the children.
By listening to the children's voices and adjusting teaching methods, we ensure that every class can inspire children's interest and love for music. Shen Jinyun, associate professor and master's tutor at the School of Music of Nanjing Normal University, said, "To make chorus a source of happiness for children, the key is to teach in a way they like, make the explanation of music scores interesting, and make chorus training a pleasure."
In this sea of singing, students are not only participants, but also enjoyers. Feng Fan, the instructor of the choir club of Suzhou Canglang Experimental Primary School, was full of emotion: "In every chorus activity, I can feel the growth and progress of the children, and everyone's joy and pride are beyond words."
The loud singing rang out from every corner of the campus. It is not only the melody of childhood, but also the clarion call for the embarkation of dreams.
"Children's voices" soar, singing from Jiangsu to the whole country
"China in Children's Voices" originated in Tongzhou, Nantong, and has flourished since its start in 2006. From its inception in the local area to its blossoming across the province, and then to its wide dissemination across the country, one after another popular, healthy and uplifting new nursery rhymes accompany children's growth and nourish their young hearts.
Walking into the "China in Children's Voices" children's art creation and research activity base in Tongzhou, Nantong, a sculpture attracts everyone's attention: the upper part of the sculpture is in the shape of a violin, which means that children's voices sing the most beautiful notes; the lower part is a red heart, which means that the motherland is in the heart and children's hearts are always towards the Party.
How can we better guide young people to cultivate their sentiments and grow up healthily through the creation and promotion of children's art? Zhang Feng, vice chairman of the Tongzhou District Federation of Literary and Art Circles and deputy director of the "China in Children's Voices" Children's Art Creation and Research Activity Base, recalled that in 2006, a local survey found that the children's songs and nursery rhymes sung by children were still old songs from decades ago. Therefore, the first "China in Children's Voices" new nursery rhyme collection activity was launched in Tongzhou, and soon 12,300 submissions came from bustling cities, rural campuses, and border areas. The exciting and enthusiastic response strengthened everyone's confidence.
"For 18 years, each 'Children's Voices' has had a theme, and 'China' is in each theme." Chen Dongmei, member of the Standing Committee of the Nantong Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department, introduced that the "China in Children's Voices" series of activities, starting from the first "Singing the Concept of Honor and Shame", "The Motherland Dedicates a Poem to You", "Sing a Song for the Party", "Let the Chinese Dream Fly", "Children's Hearts Sing New Songs to the Party", etc., each with a theme, that is, through rich and colorful activity content and various forms of activity carriers, the spiritual foundation of young children will be strengthened.
"You draw a small sickle, I draw a small hammer, the hammer and sickle form a pair, forming the party flag that shines brightly. Follow the party from childhood, and never fall behind..." The winning work "Follow the Party from Childhood" in the 8th "China in Children's Voices" Children's Song Creation Competition has become a must-learn song for the "first lesson of school" at Tongzhou District Experimental Primary School. In recent years, "China in Children's Voices" has collected and promoted a number of songs that are enlightening, cultivate sentiments, and easy to sing. These works are full of childlike innocence and fun, and exude a spiritual power of upwardness and goodness.
"Childhood is short and precious. Children are accompanied by 'children's voices' at their best age, showing the most beautiful style of contemporary Chinese children. They also gain happiness and growth, which better helps them fasten the 'first button' of their lives." said Wang Xiaomei, secretary of the Party General Branch of Tongzhou District Experimental Primary School Education Group.
Starting from the tender nursery rhymes, "China in the Voice of Children" has continuously broadened its boundaries, and the content of activities has become increasingly rich and diverse, and the forms have become more and more exciting. In recent years, the "China in the Voice of Children" children's art creation and research activity base has achieved fruitful results. It has not only launched children's dramas such as "Tian Meng'er", "Bronze Sunflower" and "Grass House" that are deeply loved by children, but also produced children's movies such as "Sunflower Squadron", which have won wide acclaim. At present, "Grown Up Children" as the second part of the "Trilogy of Love" is being prepared in full swing, and the adaptation of the children's drama script "Cherry Village", the third part of the "Cao Wenxuan Literary Transformation Trilogy", has also begun.
Walk forward in the light, illuminate the beacon of the soul
A good song will have a subtle influence on innocent and tender hearts. "China in Children's Voices" not only provides children with a stage to show their talents and improve themselves, but more importantly, it sows the seeds of socialist core values in their hearts, nourishing the children's hearts silently.
In the hot summer, the "Colorful Summer" summer activities for minors are in full swing across the province. Relying on civilized practice bases, rural school children's palaces and youth palaces, a series of carefully planned "love summer care classes" and chorus training camps have emerged, making the children's summer vacation full of songs and laughter, and enjoying the charm of chorus art.
Jiangsu has integrated choral activities into the fertile soil of civilization cultivation and practice. In the "Light up the Starry Night" civilization practice activity, it organized outstanding children's choirs to participate and showcase the results of the choral activities. In the "Good Boys and Girls of the New Era" learning and publicity activities, it mobilized good boys and girls to participate in the creation and performance of choral repertoires, using clear and pure children's voices to convey full positive energy.
In addition, "China in Children's Voices" also planned and carried out a series of chorus flash mob activities in cultural and museum venues, tourist attractions, commercial districts, airports and stations, where children and citizens and tourists sang songs such as "My Motherland and I" together, triggering waves of exciting collective choruses that were heart-stirring.
The company of "children's voices" is not only an enjoyment of art, but also a beacon of the soul and a guide for growth. Guo Shihong, principal of Yizheng Experimental Primary School, said: "The activity is very meaningful and will always remain in the hearts of children and become an unforgettable memory on their path of growth." Zhang Haibing, principal of Huaiyin Experimental Primary School in Huai'an, said that they will make good use of the "China in Children's Voices" platform to further strengthen the school's aesthetic education and guide children to achieve all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.
Today, the "China in Children's Voices" and other "children" series of activities have become spiritual food that accompanies children's happy growth, guiding young people to cultivate sincere feelings of loving the Party, loving the country, and loving socialism, deeply understand the rich connotations of the core socialist values, and lay a solid foundation for the "four confidences" from an early age. "China in Children's Voices" carries the dreams of contemporary children and flies higher and farther, soaring towards a broader sky.
