In Chen's conception, the only way to narrow the gap between modern music and Taiwanese folk songs is to educate listeners 'tastes. As their tastes become more discriminating, even if they are still unable to appreciate the avant-garde of modern music, at least they may be more tolerant towards it.
在他的構想中，要拉近現代音樂和鄉土歌謠的距離，唯有從培養聽眾的品味做起，品味提昇後，即使仍無法欣賞走在時代前端的現代音樂，最起碼也能夠具備容忍之心。
