The emergence of human beings must be accompanied by persons with disabilities.The blind are a particularly painful and disadvantaged group of persons with disabilities,but they are uniquely able to integrate into the world because of their natural advantage of listening to music and recognizing it.The earliest professional education for persons with disabilities in China started from music education for the blind,and the"last three generations"was a period of development of"government-run"music for the blind.After the pre-Qin period,the rites and music of the Chinese government fell into disrepair,the official gaze musician system was abolished,and there were no government-run music education institutions for the blind.In the late Qing Dynasty,more blind musicians were transferred to the private sector,and they were the inheritors of the ancient Chinese music culture.However,music education for the blind in ancient China is still different from modern special education.It is only the prelude and classical form of institutionalized special education.The modern transformation of ancient music education for the blind is the result of the exchange and mutual learning between ancient and modern Chinese and foreign civilizations,which has brought about abundant content and unlimited development space for Chinese special music education to keep pace with the times.
