“…PDT can be understood as parents' unequal treatment of their children and its effects are complex depending on the reason, magnitude, direction and fairness (Feinberg et al, 2003;Feinberg, Neiderhiser, Howe, & Hetherington, 2001;Feinberg, Neiderhiser, Simmens, Reiss, & Hetherington, 2000;McHale & Pawletko, 1992;McHale, Crouter, McGuire, & Updegraff, 1995;McHale, Updegraff, Jackson-Newsom, Tucker, & Crouter, 2000;Quittner & Opipari, 1994;Weinstein, 1993). Since children are the active constructors of their environments, their understanding of PDT can lead to adaptive or adverse emotions and behaviours (Brody, Stoneman, & McCoy, 1992;1994;Brody & Stoneman, 2013;Dunn, 1991;Kowal & Kramer, 1997;Kowal, Kramer, Krull, & Crick, 2002;Kowal, Krull, & Kramer, 2004, 2006Richmond, Stocker, & Rienks, 2005;Stocker, Dunn, & Plomin, 1989;Tamrouti-Makkink, Dubas, Gerris, & van Aken, 2004;Wolf, Fisman, Ellison, & Freeman, 1998).…”

This phenomenological study focuses on the effect of parenting rooted in Confucian Heritage Culture (CHC) on music learning of four American-born Chinese siblings from the same family. It investigates parental differential treatment (PDT) and sibling interactions on the musical development of the participants raised by musician parents. Participants’ music practice habits and their learning and performing opportunities can further account for their music identity formation. Hermeneutic inquiries explore how individuals make sense of their experiences. Data consisted of six semi-structured interviews conducted among this family and their email correspondences, and was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Four overarching themes emerged from the family narratives: parenting rooted in CHC-inspired music learning in this family; parental musicianship and continuous support, combined with kin role modelling and siblings’ sound practice habit positively facilitated their successful music learning; optimal learning and performing opportunities were highly beneficial in the siblings’ music learning process; and sibling relationships affected by PDT did not have long-term aversive effects on their learning or wellbeing. The findings show that PDT occurs among CHC families and children need to have a safe environment to thrive. Scholars and health practitioners should acquire intercultural knowledge to effectively work with families of diverse cultures.

“…Junzi symbolizes the ultimate moral conduct of filial piety, moderation, diligence, respect for education, and propriety. Such an aesthetic style of the self constitutes the pathway to the highest virtue called ren (仁), roughly translated as “benevolence.” Confucius pronounces that “[The junzi ] sets his mind on the Way [ dao 道 ], depends on virtue [ de 德 ], relies on benevolence [ ren 仁 ] and enjoys the arts [ yi 艺 ]” (Legge, , cited in Kim, , p. 111). In Confucius' words, he who is able to nourish and realize his own natural tendencies through learning is called a junzi (Wu, , p. 4).…”

This article examines the uptake of suzhi-roughly glossed as "quality"-in China's recent curriculum reform called suzhi jiaoyu (Education for Quality) in the rural ethnic context of Qiandongnan. It engages with three layers of analysis. First is a brief etymological overview of suzhi to map out its cultural politics in contemporary China. Agamben's theorization of People/people is invoked to elucidate how the keyword embeds the differentiation of bodies and the fabrication of the "others" through a civilizing mission. Second, the article surveys the genealogy of suzhi ideas-practices as the historical project of making the ideal personhood. It examines how suzhi's entanglement in Chinese historiography constitutes the moving target for the formation of educational subjects. Third, the article draws from my ethnographic research in southwest China to investigate suzhi's enactment in compulsory schooling and current curriculum reform. It provides nuanced empirical accounts to illuminate how suzhi/quality is understood, contested, and reappropriated in everyday pedagogical practices; how the bifurcated front-and backstage maneuvering in two village schools trouble the salvationary overtone of the suzhi-oriented curriculum reform. The lens of performativity is harnessed to move beyond the "loose coupling" theory and suggest undecidable interstices in the production of pedagogical subjectivity. Furthermore, this section explores how suzhi jiaoyu sits in a jarring relationship with indigenous cosmology to produce epistemic dissonance and disenchantment towards schooling. The article concludes with a call for provincializing the "universal" notion of quality and for a productive aporia in thinking about the limit-points of schooling.The national strength and stamina of economic development more and more depend on the suzhi of the laborers. -Deng, XiaopingEducation is fundamental to the comprehensive formation of national strength, increasingly measured by suzhi of workers and the development of talented human bs_bs_banner

Why Chinese people play Western classical music: Transcultural roots of music philosophy

This paper addresses the complex relationship between Confucian values and music education in East Asia, particularly its history in China. How does one account for the present ‘cultural fever’ of Western classical music that has infected more than 100 million Chinese practitioners? It is proposed that Western classical music finds transcultural affinities in Confucian traditional values of artful self-cultivation and virtue, while simultaneously acting as a signifier of modernity and individual creativity. The paradigm shift that applies to Confucius’s status change from a despised pre-feudal conservative to a state-sanctioned indigenous philosopher who resists market economy sociocultural destabilization in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is discussed. Corresponding changes in the Chinese Communist Party’s attitudes towards Western classical music are covered, starting with condemnations of politically-suspect foreign cultural practices to current advocacy of an arts discipline that is integral in educating disciplined, high-performing citizens of the modern Chinese nation state. Correlations between ancient Eastern and Western philosophies of music and their consequences for contemporary music education are explored.
