Music plays an extraordinary role in human life, and we create, understand, and feel music, and each melody reflects the various qualities of human nature.
A person's taste for music is often a reflection of their personality.
Women who love jazz music tend to be amorous, while men who love classical music tend to be more serious and cautious.
Successful or charismatic people often know how to use music to nurture themselves.
In the interaction between the sexes, men with musical labels are more popular with women, which is especially evident in the guitar playing and singing boys in idol dramas.
An interesting finding about the relationship between people and music is that women are able to observe a man's musical tastes to determine whether he will be in trouble.
A psychological experiment conducted at Nagasaki University in Japan confirmed this.
Studies have found that men with higher testosterone levels tend to dislike classical music. Women's musical preferences, on the other hand, are not affected by testosterone levels.
Testosterone is one of the body's most important hormones, especially affecting male sexual and reproductive function.
Men with high testosterone levels are more aggressive and predatory, and are also more likely to cheat.
Studies have shown that these men with high testosterone levels generally don't like classical music because of its regularity and slow tempo that is unappealing to them who are adventurous and challenging.
However, among older men, it is not uncommon for people to love classical music.
Therefore, a man's interest in regular, slow-paced music genres such as classical music, piano music, or folk may mean that his testosterone levels are relatively low and more dedicated.
Men who prefer intensely paced, emotionally charged music genres may have higher testosterone levels and lower loyalty to their feelings.
However, these conclusions are only held at a relative level, and the actual situation needs to be considered comprehensively.
Still, the impact of music on an individual's life is enormous.
Music is pioneering and innovative, and it has a very powerful edifying effect on people.
People who are accompanied by music usually have a broader vision and richer life experience, and are more able to perceive the subtleties of human nature.
The understanding of music is multifaceted and involves knowledge, experience and emotion, as well as cognition, reason and speculation.
By exploring the relationship between music and people, we can better understand and recognize each person, and face up to various problems in human nature.
A group of psychologists has studied and analysed 208 members of three different symphony orchestras.
Their study found that bandmates who typically played classical music were more peaceful, suave and less emotionally volatile in their lives.
On the contrary, more than 70 percent of the members who mainly play modern music suffer from neurositism, more than 60 percent are easily irritated, and more than 20 percent are often depressed with other negative effects.
Thus, music may influence a person's character, or rather a person's personality determines what kind of music he is interested in, and such music constantly deepens his character.
The influence between music and character is mutual, just as one side nurtures another, the environment shapes the personality, and the personality changes the environment.
As it says in the Tao Te Ching:
"Therefore, there is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, the length is comparative, the high and the low are inclined to each other, the sound is harmonious, and the front and back are with each other. ”
The music and the character of the person also mirror each other.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the famous German physiologist and psychologist Hermann von Helmholtz made an in-depth and detailed discussion of the role of music on the auditory organs and auditory nerve.
He discovered that music first has a physiological effect on the human auditory organs and auditory nerve through sound, and then spreads to the muscles, blood vessels and other organs throughout the body.
Based on this discovery, "music therapy" has emerged in the field of mental illness.
These studies and analyses are all proving a problem:
Music is intimately related to a person's character.
People who own music are really favored by God, and music is not only a kind of entertainment, but also a kind of spiritual sustenance for many people.
In fact, music itself is a portrayal of a certain state of life, and composers often have strong subjective emotions when composing, and they also express very personal emotions in music.
On the surface, it seems to be because the situation or story it illustrates is moving.
But in fact, it is because we find ourselves in those twists and turns of the melody that the emotions that the composer wants to express resonate highly with our own life experiences, awakening certain emotions in our hearts.
This proves once again that what kind of music people like, and what kind of music also deepens people's character.
Music has a long history of influencing people.
The Book of Rites emphasizes that music is not only to satisfy the needs of the senses, but also to educate people to cultivate correct good thoughts through the beauty of music, so that people can return to the right path.
Therefore, music is, to a certain extent, a catalyst for the quality of life.
If you can learn a kind of music, or a type of music, and realize the unconditional appreciation of all kinds of music, it will be an unexpected change in people's production business.
Ancient Greece was the first civilization to shape personality through musical education.
They believe that through long-term exposure to beautiful music, noble qualities can be molded.
