历史悠久。根据演奏方式的不同，

可以分为吹奏乐器（windinstruments）、打击乐器（percussioninstruments）、弦乐器（stringedinstruments）和弹拨乐器（pluckedstringedinstruments）四大类。这些乐器常用于民间表演中，具有浓厚的民族特色。二胡、琵琶、古筝等乐器，不仅是中国传统文化的重要象征，还逐渐走向世界舞台，受到国际音乐爱好者的关注。PartTwoListeningIMindMapDirections:Completethefollowingmindmapaccordingtothevideoyouhavewatched.PartTwoListeningIMindMapDirections:Completethefollowingmindmapaccordingtothevideoyouhavewatched.1.bamboo2.Percussion3.beatingFourTypesofInstrumentsWindInstruments2Instruments4InstrumentsMadeof1orwood.Playedbyblowingair.Examples:Gu,Luo,Yunluo.Playedby3.Mostcommon:Erhu.Otherkinds:Jinghu,Banhu,Sihu.5one:Matouqin.PluckedStringed6Examples:Pipa,Guzheng,Dongbula,Yangqin.Playedbypluckingstrings.4.Stringed5.Special6.InstrumentsPartTwoListeningIIDictationDirections:Watchthevideoagainandfillintheblankswiththeexactwordsyouhaveheard.Hello,everyone.TodayletmetellyousomethingabouttheChinese1instruments.2_____________differentwaysofplaying,theycanbe3fourtypes.Thefirstkindiscalled“windinstruments”.Lookatallthesepictures.Theyaremainlymadeof4orwood.Thesecondkindwecanseeis“5________instruments”.Forexample,Gu,LuoandYunluo.People6themtomakedifferent7.Nextonewecallthem“8instruments”.Amongthese,Erhuisthemostcommonone.TherearealsomanyotherkindsofHu,likeJinghu,Gaohu,BanhuandSihu.Lookatthelastpicture.Ithasahorsehead,sowecallitMatouqinormorinkhuur.Thelastoneis“9stringedinstruments”.Pipa,Guzheng,DongbulaandYangqinall10this.musicalAccordingtodividedintobamboopercussionbeatsoundsstringedpluckedbelongtoUnitTopicResearchPartThreeTestingBefore-classDirections:Workingroupstoexploreandcomparethemusicstylespopularinurbanareasandthoseinruralareas.Discusshowthesestylesreflectdifferentlifestylesandculturalinfluences.Youcanrefertothefollowingstepstocompletetheresearch:1.Chooseaspecificaspecttocompare(e.g.,instrumentsused,lyrics,musicevents,performancesettings).2.Discusswithyourgroupwhatkindsofmusicarecommoninurbanareasandinruralareas.3.Identifythereasonsbehindthesedifferences,suchasenvironments,traditions,oraccesstomediaandtechnology.4.Createashortreport,poster,orperformancetoshareyourfindingswiththeclass.INewsPartThreeTestingIn-classDirections:Inthissection,youwillhearanewsreport.Attheendofthenewsreport,youwillhearthreequestions.Boththenewsreportandthequestionswillbespokenonlyonce.Afteryouhearaquestion,youmustchoosethebestanswerfromthechoicesmarkedA),B),C)andD).
