Liu Juan still hasn't found Tang Seng. Where did this damn Tang Seng go? In addition, if he knew that the host he wanted to find Tang Seng turned out to be his ex-girlfriend, would he really hit him to death?
Yi Bingshui didn't know what fate was waiting for him, but if Amaterasu asked him not to leave Chang'an, he would just be an obedient person. This damn Japanese, if he had a chance...
For several days, Yi Bingshui no longer dared to wear men's clothes and played with Yuan Mei and others at home in women's clothes. Even Mrs. Yuan felt strange and asked Yi Bingshui why she was sitting at home and not going out to play? Yi Bingshui was embarrassed.
Talking about Princess Gaoyang, this Princess Gaoyang is really a ****, she actually fell in love with me, I fainted, I just want to die. Yi Bingshui just smiled and said: "I always wear men's clothes, I'm afraid of being taken seriously.
As a man, you forget that you are a woman." Seeing that, Mrs. Yuan let her go and said: "Since you don't go out to play, learn something. What do you like, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what are you interested in."
Yi Bingshui thought of Monk Bianji's piano skills and thought to herself that she had practiced piano when she was a child. How could she develop such magical skills? Other aspects: "Chess" is not a problem for Yi Bingshui, regardless of chess or Go.
All of them are just fine. Not to mention "book". Yi Bingshui majored in Chinese. As the saying goes, "If you have read 300 Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don't know how to compose them." Yi Bingshui just can't compose poems.
, can also memorize thousands of poems, and can pick them up at any time. "Painting" Yi Bingshui has practiced sketching and oil painting. He learned Western painting methods, which are very different from the ink paintings of the ancients, but he can still be regarded as good at painting.
So Yi Bingshui said: "I saw someone who played the piano very well a few days ago, and I was very envious." Mrs. Yuan said: "When I want to take the imperial examination, I must first take the 'Cai's Fifth Nong' and 'Ji's Fourth Nong'.
You should learn the art of piano carefully."
Yi Bingshui asked curiously: "What is Cai's Fifth Nong? What is Ji's Fourth Nong?" She also knew that Plum Blossom Nong Three was one of the top ten guqin pieces. It was originally a flute piece composed by Heng Yi from Jin Dynasty.
Adapted into piano music. Why are there "Cai's Fifth Nong" and "Ji's Fourth Nong"? I have heard of Cai Wenji's "Eighteen Beats of Hujia", but not "Cai's Fifth Nong". I have heard of Ji Kanghe's "Guangling"
"Powder", but I have never heard of "Four Lanes of the Ji Family". I couldn't help but feel ashamed, and thought to myself: I falsely claimed to be a talented person in the Chinese Department, but now it seems that it is too "humble".
Mrs. Yuan said: ""Cai's Five Lanes" was written by Cai Yong, and "Ji's Four Lanes" was written by Ji Kang."
How could Yi Bingshui not know that Cai Yong, Cai Wenji’s father, was a famous scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Like father, like daughter. It’s right to think about it. Cai Wenji’s musical literacy is probably inherited from her father’s genes
, a natural musical genius. He was captured by the Huns and later redeemed by Cao Cao. Later generations fabricated the idea that Cao Cao and Wen Ji had an affair, which is really ridiculous. Cai Wenji missed Hu Er, so she made "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji"
, I have been entangled in "thinking about home" and "thinking about children" throughout my life.
Ji Kangnai is the most famous among the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" and a representative figure of metaphysics in the late Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms. His poems and prose inherit Jian'an literature and have a high status in literature. In music, the famous "Guangling Jue Xiang" is about
How could Yang Yue not know about the song "Guangling San" he played when he was about to be sentenced? But when it came to their fifth and fourth lanes, Yi Bingshui was really "ignorant".
Yi Bingshui asked: "What is the fifth lane? What is the fourth lane?"
Mrs. Yuan said: "The "Cai's Five Lanes" are "Spring Outing", "Lushui", "Secret Thoughts", "Sitting in Sorrow", and "Autumn Thoughts"; the "Ji's Four Lanes" are "Changqing", "Duan" respectively.
The four songs "Green", "Long Side" and "Short Side" are combined into the 'Nine Nongs', which have been designated as a required subject for scholarships since the second year of the Sui Dynasty." Speaking of the Sui Dynasty's great cause, Mrs. Yuan seemed to be in a daze.
I was distracted for a moment. The great cause was the reign name of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. It can be said that Yang Guang was a man of literature and martial arts, and he accomplished many great achievements. However, he conquered Korea three times and resorted to militarism, and finally lost the world.
Yi Bingshui knew that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and the second son of Yang Jian. He was a very talented, shrewd, and generally active and enterprising person. He also had a grand vision for national affairs.
After taking power, he inspected frontier developments, opened up the Western Regions, and promoted large-scale construction. However, in the end, because the people could not bear the burden, he repeatedly resorted to militarism, and he became famous in the world for his brutality.
Some people compared him with King Zhou of Shang, Qin Shihuang, etc., and called him a tyrant. He was very harsh in enslaving and expropriating people, causing serious damage to production. Under the attack of the people's uprising, his subordinates Yu Wenhua and others launched a mutiny.
He was hanged in Jiangdu (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu).
During the 14 years of Yang Guang's reign, he "unified the country", "built the canal", "inspected Zhangye to the west", "visited Jiangdu three times", and "drove Liaodong three times", which can be summarized as a summary of what he did in his life.
Yi Bingshuiman chanted:
"The autumn wind blows solemnly, and I travel thousands of miles leisurely. Where can I travel thousands of miles? I build the Great Wall across the desert."
How can it be consistent with the wisdom of a young man? This is the camp of the sages. It is the policy of eternal life to ensure the survival of hundreds of millions of people.
I dare not worry about my worries, so I rest easy in the capital. I see the martial arts festival in Beihe, and roll the Rong banner thousands of miles away.
Mountains and rivers are in and out of each other, and the wilderness is impoverished. The formations are stopped when gold is struck, and the drums are played to cheer up the soldiers.
Thousands of banners are flying, and horses are drinking in the caves of the Great Wall. In the dusk of autumn, there are clouds outside the fortress, and the mist hides the moon behind the mountains.
Yuan Yan Post is on horseback, and the beacon fire is going off in the air. I want to ask the Marquis of Changcheng, Shan Yu comes to the court to pay a visit.
The turbid air calms the Tianshan Mountains, and the morning light shines on the high tower. The troops are released and the brigade is still invigorated, and everything is going to be chaotic.
Drink until you say goodbye, and the credit goes to the temple."
This is "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Grottoes" written by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty during this western tour, and it has become a famous poem throughout the ages. "The Qi in the head is strong, and it is quite the style of Wei Wu." Later generations of literati spoke highly of his poems. "
Mixing together the north and the south, Emperor Yang’s talents are truly outstanding.”
The wind is the force of the elements. The ancient road is restored here." Another poem "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" written by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty "The river is flat at dusk, but the spring flowers are in full bloom. The waves will move away from the moon, and the tide will bring the stars."
, enough to show his literary talent. "He can write elegant and correct words, which is better than that of Empress Chen."
."The poems and essays of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty occupy an important position in the history of Chinese literature and poetry.
Yi Bingshui knew that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's western tour to expand territory, stabilize the western frontier, show great military power, intimidate other countries, carry out trade, promote the prestige of our country, and smooth the Silk Road. It was the work of a generation of accomplished monarchs, but...
Mrs. Yuan did not speak, but there were tears in her eyes. Yi Bingshui sighed: "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty unified the country, conquered the Turks in the north, dug canals, and pioneered the imperial examination. His great achievements are comparable to those of the Qin Emperor. There is a text called "Drinking the Great Wall of Horses"
Famous poems such as "The Grotto" and "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" have also been sung throughout the ages, so why is the posthumous title "Yang" given?"
The ancient "Posthumous Law" said: "It is called Yang to be good at home and far away, to be polite to the people far away, it is called Yang, to go against the will of nature and abuse the people, it is called Yang." Yang Guang only had four sons and two daughters. Compared with Li Shimin, who had 14 sons and 21 daughters, why?
It can't be called "a good wife"; "Going to the rites? Defying heaven?" Compared with Yang Guang's achievements such as "unifying the country, conquering the Turks in the north, digging canals, and pioneering the imperial examination", he is compared with the ancient Jie and Zhou.
, it is really a bit unfair. Li Yuan gave him the word "Yang", which is really a bit sorry for his aunt and cousin. (Li Yuan's mother and Yang Guang's mother are biological sisters, both are the daughters of Dugu Xin, one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty in the Northern Dynasty.
)
After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan seemed a little excited, nodded and remained silent.
Yang Guang himself had a very high level of literary accomplishment and often said that he could get first place if he took the exam. His poems such as "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Grotto" and "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" have changed the frivolous writing style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and returned to freshness.
The words are meaningful and have great influence in the history of Chinese literature.
Yi Bingshui knew that the ancients were fond of playing the qin, and there was a saying that "a scholar would not take up the qin for no reason." Unexpectedly, Yang Guang directly set this as a condition for obtaining a scholar in the scientific examination, which was probably based on his extremely high musical attainments. It can also be seen from this.
The ancient literati loved and valued the qin. The qin is the voice of the heart, and one can know the elegant meaning when hearing the sound of the qin. From the sound of the qin, one can know a person's integrity and taste.
Yi Bingshui said in her heart: "Confucius's six arts are etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. The guqin is a required subject for ancient Chinese intellectuals. This shows the status of the qin in the hearts of ancient people. Modern students only learn one of them.
Two arts: calligraphy or music or mathematics. It can be seen that too much traditional learning has been neglected." After listening to Mrs. Yuan's introduction, Yi Bingshui became more interested in the piano. She thought that she would settle for it once she got it, and modern learning would not be enough.
Why not study the things you learned in ancient times?
The next day, Yi Bingshui got up early, and was not sure whether to wear women's clothes or men's clothes. Yesterday, Mrs. Yuan said that she would take her to apprentice today. If she wore women's clothes, she would have to wear the "black gauze cover", and if she wore men's clothes, she would have some lingering fears.
, not to mention that it would be impolite not to show your true face to others when you are an apprentice for the first time. Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Yuan asked Wu'er to send a message to Yi Bingshui to wear women's clothes today.
Yi Bingshuijian said that she thought she should wear a black gauze cover because no one could see her. However, Wuer did not put a "black gauze cover" on her. Yi Bingshui asked curiously: "Why don't you need to wear a black gauze cover?"
'?"
Wu'er knew that Yi Bingshui was referring to the mask, and chuckled: "We don't have to go out on the street today, we are just sitting on the carriage, so we don't need that." Only then did Yi Bingshui understand that it turned out that the black gauze mask was only used by aristocratic women when they went shopping.
something.
Yi Bingshui and Mrs. Yuan got on the carriage and jingled all the way to the palace. Yi Bingshui smiled and said, "Mother, aren't we going to come here?"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yuan nodded and said: "Exactly." Yi Bingshui asked curiously: "I want to go to the palace to become a teacher? Is it possible that the teacher I want to become a teacher is a prince?"
Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Don't talk nonsense, that prince will be your piano player."
Yi Bingshui also smiled. How could she not know that it was impossible? She just laughed and said it to relieve her boredom. Yi Bingshui was not eager to know who the master was, but was surprised that Mrs. Yuan seemed to know many relatives of the emperor.
The pomp of the gate of the palace is different from other places, with three rows of cave doors, which are very grand. Yi Bingshui and Mrs. Yuan walked to Changshou Gate, and carriages were not allowed to enter. Mrs. Yuan explained the purpose of her visit to the imperial guards, but the imperial guards had already received the message and did not go to inform them.
He "escorted" the two of them directly into the palace.
Yi Bingshui couldn't help but look around curiously, asking questions. Mrs. Yuan gestured to her to stop talking, so Yi Bingshui stuck out her tongue, stopped talking, and followed Mrs. Yuan obediently.
The palace is very large. After passing through the main gate and then through the Union Gate, the guards leading the way were replaced by eunuchs and then by servants. They walked for about a mile before reaching their destination.
Mrs. Yuan seemed to be very familiar with the furnishings in the palace, and everything was not as new as Yi Bingshui. The two stood outside the low-rise door, waiting for the servant to announce. After a while, the servant told Mrs. Yuan and Yi Bingshui to go in. They just entered.
A gorgeous and beautiful lady came to greet her at the palace gate.
Mrs. Yuan saluted and said to Yi Bingshui: "I have met the princess." When Yi Bingshui was about to salute, she was grabbed by the princess. She looked around for a long time and said with a smile: "As my sister said, it is true.
Unparalleled."
Yi Bingshui replied without politeness and said: "The princess is graceful and luxurious, and she is extremely beautiful." The princess smiled and said: "What a clever and clever mouth." Mrs. Yuan stood aside and just smiled, looking at the two of them.
Funny.
The princess brought the two people into the room, exchanged glances with Mrs. Yuan, and whispered: "They really look alike."
Yi Bingshui didn't know what they were saying, but she was thinking: It turns out that the princess is the madam's sister. The princess in front of her seemed to be made of crystal. Her middle-aged skin was still so delicate that it could be broken with a blow, and she seemed to be able to squeeze out water.
What's even more fascinating is her demeanor, which is gentle yet noble and elegant. At first glance, she looks like a very well-educated aristocratic woman.
After the two sat down to chat, Yi Bingshui asked: "Mother, is the princess the master of Bing'er?" The lady nodded and smiled: "The princess learned her piano skills from the famous teacher Zhao Yeli. When she was young, she was known as the Tianmo Qin.
As for whether the imperial concubine is willing to accept you as her disciple, it depends on your luck."
Yi Bingshui was surprised when she heard the Tianmo Qin. The first thing she thought was not snow music, but martial arts. Could it be that the princess is a six-fingered Qin demon?
Yi Bingshui must have learned the qin for a few days and knew who Zhao Yeli was. Zhao Yeli, born in 539-639, was a qin master in the early Tang Dynasty and a native of Jiyin, Caozhou (now Cao County, Shanle County). Because of his unparalleled qin skills, he was famous among the world.
He is respectfully called "Master Zhao". It seems that he is still studying music!
The qin masters of the Tang Dynasty made outstanding achievements in collecting and processing traditional music. Zhao Yeli "corrected more than 50 errors, cut down the vulgar and returned to elegance, and passed down the scores." These more than 50 exercises include "Cai's Five Nongs"
, "Five Nongs of Hujia" was recorded in the written notation at that time, and is now included in the "Youlan" volume handwritten in the Tang Dynasty.
"Tang Zhi" lists nine volumes of "Qin Xupu" written by him, and one volume "Illustration of Gestures for Playing the Qin". "Song Zhi" contains another volume of his "Right Hand Technique for Playing the Qin", all of which have been lost today. Preface to the score
It is said that he was "a young man who was enlightened at a weak age and had many artistic talents."
"Tong. Self-study with hair tied up, practice without distinction. Live with purity and emptiness, and cannot do anything other than Tao. The writing skills are as good as those of Zhong and Zhang, and the Qin Tao is as good as Ma and Cai." His disciples are all famous players of the generation, including Song Xiaozhen and Gongsun Chang.
, Sima of Puzhou, etc.
Zhao Yeli had a profound understanding of the art of the Qin School at that time. He once concluded: "The sound of Wu is clear and gentle, like the Yangtze River, flowing slowly and slowly, with the wind of the country; the sound of Shu is impatient, like the rushing waves of thunder, also
The hero of the moment." These words are still consistent with the characteristics of the Wu and Shu factions.
In terms of playing techniques, Zhao Yeli believes that if you only use your fingernails, "the sound will be hurt", and if you only use the flesh of your fingers, "the sound will be dull". He advocates that "the nails and flesh are harmonious, and the sound is warm and moist." This technique is called
It was widely adopted in later generations.
As for the subtraction notation method, it is recorded in "Cheng Yi Tang Qin Pu" by Cheng Yunji of the Qing Dynasty: Cao Rou of the Tang Dynasty had "subtraction fingering method, Zhao Yeli revised it", that is, Cao created the subtraction notation, and Zhao Yeli revised it.
Although Yi Bingshui's piano skills are not very good, he stands on the "shoulders" of the ancients and naturally uses the most advanced methods.
Yi Bingshui immediately prostrated herself on the ground and paid homage. She went through the apprenticeship ceremony. The princess did not refuse this time and accepted it happily. Naturally, she liked this apprentice very much.
