Under everyone's expectant gazes, Li Erdan finally opened his mouth to speak.
"It's a long story about the history of the guqin and why it has seven strings. Don't worry, I'll take a sip of wine to moisten my throat first."
After Li Erdan said it calmly, he reached out and picked up the wine bottle on the table and started pouring wine into the cup.
"Why is there no more?"
The bottom of the wine pot was almost raised to the sky, but not a drop of wine was poured out. Li Erdan's face instantly showed a look of extreme disappointment.
Everyone around them was so angry that their teeth itched when they saw Li Erdan's expression.
"This guy is so fucking awesome, I really want to give this kid a slap in the face."
""Add +1 to a slap" "Add +2 to a slap.
"For a while, Li Erdan's behavior aroused public outrage, and the sound of angry curses started one after another.
"What do you all mean?
If you don’t want to hear it, forget it. You think I’m willing to popularize the knowledge of guqin to you, but I haven’t even talked about that yet. I don’t even have a drink, so I’m talking nonsense.”
After Li Erdan finished speaking, he sat down on the chair very bachelorly, with his hands on his shoulders, and an expression that said, "I don't know what you can do to me."
Chang Xiaoqian, who was at the front, was also so angry at Li Erdan's behavior that she gritted her teeth and said.
"Come here, pour some wine for this young master."
After receiving Chang Xiaoqian's instructions, a young maid immediately came over and filled Li Erdan's empty cup with wine.
"Young Master, we humbly want to hear your explanation of the origin of the guqin. As long as you tell it with reason and evidence, we will have as much fine wine as you want to drink today."
Chang Xiaoqian said.
"Look, you look at the quality of other beauties, you are looking at you, you are talking shit, you have no quality at all, look at the attitude of other beauties, this is the attitude of humbly studying.
Since you have said so, beauty, let me explain the origin of the guqin."
Li Erdan drank the wine in one gulp and stood up slowly.
Although Li Erdan's pretentious appearance made many people present want to slap Li Erdan, this time everyone held back.
"Little dwarf, please listen to me, and you three idiots who don't understand anything. Today I will explain to you the origin of the guqin."
Li Erdan pointed at Xiao Langjun and others arrogantly and said.
"Damn it, I want to see what you, this arrogant fellow, can say."
Xiao Langjun said, shaking with anger.
William and the others were furious when Li Erdan was pointed at and called idiots like this, and they were filled with murderous intent.
"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, in traditional Chinese culture, Qin is the first of the four arts. It is a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument with a history of more than 3,000 years."
As soon as Li Erdan's calm voice fell, Xiao Langjun immediately snorted coldly.
"That's nonsense. The history of guqin is only over 2,000 years. You actually said that guqin has a history of more than 3,000 years in China. It's just nonsense."
"Little dwarf, in your day at Risheng, hasn't your teacher taught you that interrupting other people's conversations is a very unqualified act?"
Li Erdan glanced at Xiao Langjun and said.
"You..." "There are different opinions about the creator of the guqin. Some say it was Shennong, some say it was Fuxi, and some say it was the emperor. There is no way to know who created it specifically."
"Hahaha, there's no way to prove it, it's just a legend. If you use legends as historical basis, it makes me laugh to death."
William laughed.
"Hey! It's so tiring to talk to a group of unqualified people. I'm asking you four ignorant guys if you want to know the history of Guqin. If you want to know, please shut up and wait for me. It’s OK to stop talking.”
Li Erdan raised his middle finger at William and Xiao Langjun with a look of disdain.
"You, you..." Xiao Langjun and William almost went crazy.
Seeing that the two mad guys were not talking, Li Erdan opened his mouth again and said.
“In the earliest Chinese literature records, as early as the era of Yao, Shun, and Yu, the musical instrument Guqin had already appeared.
The earliest guqin had five strings, which were combined with the five elements (gold, wood, water, fire and earth) internally and the five tones (gong, shang, jiao, zheng and yu) externally.
Later, during the Shangzhou period, King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in Shangdu. Because he missed his son Boyikao, he added another string to the five strings.
It was called Wenxian by later generations.
After the death of King Wen of Zhou, King Wu successfully defeated Zhou. In order to commemorate his father, King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou added another string to the guqin. Therefore, in Chinese history, the guqin was also called the civil and military lyre."
After Li Erdan finished speaking, he picked up the wine in the cup again and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes sweeping over the livid young man and William.
"Little dwarf, do you understand? This time you understand why the guqin has seven strings."
"Hmph! You're talking nonsense. Who knows if what you say is true or false?"
When Xiao Langjun said this, he obviously lacked confidence.
"Haha! Little dwarf, you still don't accept it now, don't you? I am happy today, so I will give you a good education, little dwarf."
"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of Dongyi" records that in the 57th year of the establishment of Wu Park by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Fusang Kingdom paid tribute and congratulated him. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Longyan, was very happy and rewarded the Fusang envoy Wenwu Lyre and the "Scorpion Stone Tune Orchid", which is what he just said. What you, a little dwarf, said is the music score of your Sunrise Nation’s national treasure.”
"You kid is just talking nonsense. How can the music score of our Sunrise Kingdom be a product of your China? You kid is so shameless."
Xiao Langjun roared with panic on his face.
"Hahaha, little dwarf, are you a little frustrated?
Are you still not convinced?
I think most of the people present should have their mobile phones. You can go online and search "Scorpion Stone Tune Orchids" on Baidu to see if this so-called national treasure of the Rising Sun was written by a Chinese man. "
Li Erdan laughed and said.
Although the people present were all warriors, they still had mobile phones as communication tools. Chang Xiaoqian, among others, took out their mobile phones immediately and started searching.
This musical score of "Scorpion Stone Diao Orchid" is the only well-preserved written musical score in the world. It is very famous in the whole world. It is thought that the reduced-character musical score appeared in later generations, and this kind of written musical score was eliminated. You can easily find it by searching online.
""Scorpion Stone Tune Orchid" is really a music score composed by a man. This young gentleman is so shameless. He is so damn shameless. Those of us who don't understand were almost fooled by this shameless guy. .”
"They invented the guqin. Don't blame this young man for calling this young man so thick-skinned that he can't even be pierced by a needle. It's so fucking shameless."
All of a sudden, curses rang out one after another, and each and every look of contempt was directed at the young man, making him feel ashamed and wanting to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
Even William, Mira's driver, and others knew that they had been tricked by the young man's bragging, and all of them immediately stared at the young man with angry faces.
Chang Xiaoqian was also in a good mood at this moment. The look she was looking at Li Erdan was much more pleasing to the eye, and her beautiful eyes were flowing. Finally, Chang Xiaoqian's eyes fell on the embarrassed young man, and the corner of her mouth raised a charming smile.
said the radian.
"Young Master, I wonder if this young man's explanation of the history of the civil and military lyre is convincing to you?"
