  • 6 - Teaching Chinese Music

    Today Odila Schröder will take us on a different “journey”, exploring the edges of what can be considered “Chinese” music. Since 2020 Odila has been part of a project, the China-School-Academy, writing teaching modules and providing trainings for German high school teachers. As part of that project she developed a module on Chinese music, essentially a “listening journey“, meant to engage students in the question what “Chinese music” is.  In this podcast Odila will give us a a short introduction to the module.

    The songs and sounds mentioned in this podcast can be found in an accompanying playlist. A longer playlist with a broader range of Chinese music can be found here. The full teaching module (in German) and more information on the individual pieces is available on the homepage of the China-Schul-Akademie: https://www.china-schul-akademie.de/lernmodule/musik/.

    "Socialism is Good” 社会主义好, a Chinese Communist propaganda song from the 1950s was one of the most iconic and recognisable tunes before the Cultural Revolution. Welcome to the first episode of a two-part podcast with Tilen Zupan, a master's student in Transcultural Studies at the Center for Asian and Transcultural Studies in Heidelberg. Exploring the intricacies of the song's reception and production histories, and its parodies, Tilen examines the multifaceted processes of its signification during the turbulent era of Mao’s China.

    Socialism is good, socialism is good! /People of socialist countries have high social status. /Reactionaries are overthrown, Imperialism tucks its tail and flees./The entire country is united in setting a tide of socialist construction.


    The Communist Party is good! The Communist Party is good!/The Communist Party is a good leader for the people./It keeps its promises and works wholeheartedly for the people./Firmly adhere to the Communist Party in the assured construction, the assured construction, of our great motherland!


    Socialism is good, socialism is good! /The people protect the socialist system./The power of people is invincible, the resistance of reactionary cliques is destined to fail./The cause of socialism will definitely be victorious, a communist society will definitely come true, will definitely come true!


    The Communist Party is good! /The Communist Party is good!/The Communist Party guides China on the way to power and wealth./The power of people is invincible, the resistance of reactionary cliques is destined to fail./The cause of socialism will definitely be victorious, a Communist society will definitely come true, will definitely come true!
