In 1960, China was undergoing a huge social transformation. Mao Zedong's thoughts played an important role in China's Cultural Revolution. He put forward profound requirements for art education and promoted the reform of the Central Conservatory of Music (CCM).

“Art is part of people’s lives” The leader believed that he hoped that CCM could reflect the needs of the people in its teaching and integrate traditional Chinese music with modern art. This also meant that CCM needed to change its traditional teaching methods and explore new teaching methods and content. It was in this context that the Department of Music began to undergo major changes.

Chen Lian's letter was like a sharp knife, cutting through the CCM deadlock. This letter expressed the contradictions within CCM and clearly proposed the measures that needed to be taken for reform. His voice awakened all thoughts and actions within the college and prompted the leadership to take immediate action. This was undoubtedly an important milestone in the development of CCM at that time.

The spirit of Mao Zedong's instructions illuminated the entire college like a ray of light. He encouraged students to go out of campus, go to the countryside, factories and the army, experience life and collect creative materials. These actions reflected his thoughts: art education should be closely integrated with social life, and guide students to understand and practice Chinese culture, while absorbing the essence of Western music and contributing to national construction.

This is not only a reform of CCM, but also a change in Chinese culture.In 1960, CCM began to explore the future of art education in a new way. They explored the teaching ratio of national folk music and paid attention to the selection of foreign music repertoires, all of which were to better serve the needs of the people and social development.

“Criticism and inheritance of literary and artistic heritage” This theme speech has become the focus of the college's thinking. Teachers discussed in class how to integrate traditional Chinese culture into modern art and provide new inspiration and direction for artistic creation.

The impact of this reform on CCM is far-reaching and lasting. It changed the way of teaching and the way students think. They began to think about the meaning of art and how to use art to express their thoughts and emotions.

Looking back at this period of history, we see the cradle of the times: The changes that CCM experienced during the Cultural Revolution were not only reforms, but also pointed out a new direction for the development of Chinese culture. It proved that art education is an important factor in social progress and the key to promoting social change.

We should remember that the course of history will not stop. As long as we actively explore and innovate, we will be able to achieve greater achievements in the fields of art and culture.
