Chapter 301: Phoenix seeking phoenix, the heart of a saint and the weapon of a saint
He Yan drank another glass of wine and said: "Uncle Ye deserves to be a real celebrity like me. It's really rare to play famous music on a famous harp like today. How many times has it happened since ancient times? I think it's only a "bell"
Playing the high mountains and flowing water of Zhong Ziqi, "Green Qi" plays the phoenix and the phoenix."
"Hao Zhong" is a legendary famous harp from the Zhou Dynasty, ranking first among the four famous harps in ancient times. The sound of this harp is so loud that it is like the sound of a bell and the long blast of a horn, which makes people feel excited.
Legend has it that Boya, an outstanding qin player in ancient times and a former husband of the Jin Dynasty, once played the "Hao Zhong" qin, and played "High Mountains and Flowing Waters". Mountains and Flowing Waters is one of the ten ancient tunes.
Legend has it that Boya, a luthier in the pre-Qin Dynasty, was playing the zither in a deserted mountain. Zhong Ziqi, a woodcutter, was able to understand that this was a description of "the mountains are as tall as Mount Tai" and "the vast ocean is like rivers".
Boya was surprised and said: "How wonderful, my heart is the same as mine." After Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya suffered from pain and lost the sound of his friend.
In later generations, it was divided into two pieces: "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water"; there is another zither piece with the same name, "High Mountain and Flowing Water", which has no inheritance relationship with the guqin music.
Liu Xiang's "Nine Sighs·Memory of Ming": "Broken Boya's trumpet bell is coming, holding a human zither and playing the weft." "Huainanzi·Xiu Wu Xun": "The drummer is expected to ring the bell and repair the camp, but not
In anticipation of excessive threats, ring the bell."
However, if this Qin had not happened to meet Duke Huan of Qi, who had a keen eye to recognize Qin and educate people, it would have been buried long ago and would never see the light of day. At that time, he collected many famous Qins, but he especially cherished this "Xiao Zhong" Qin.
The story of Hao Zhong and Duke Huan of Qi is quite legendary, and it was in the hands of Duke Huan of Qi that Hao Zhong truly became "Hao Zhong".
Duke Huan of Qi was on a patrol and passed by a village when he suddenly heard the sound of a musical instrument. The five tones were uneven. Duke Huan of Qi felt uncomfortable hearing it. There was also noise and clamor, so he got off the car to look for it.
At this time, he saw a group of children surrounding a boy of about five or six years old. The boy tightly protected Yiqin with his body to block the rain of fists and feet. Duke Huan immediately stopped and saved the child.
Question: It turned out that the child was begging along the village with his harp in his arms. Unexpectedly, his playing was terrible and he was regarded as a liar. He was also beaten by a group of beggars for stealing his job. However, although the child was beaten, he still risked his life to protect the harp. He knows how to value precious things.
Duke Huan of Qi was a wise monarch of the State of Qi. He was proficient in music and loved to play the piano, and he felt pity for him.
He brought the child back to the palace and looked at the piano in his hand. He was very surprised. He had collected many famous pianos, but he had never found such a good one.
Asking again, I found out that the piano was left by his father. His father passed away when he was still in his mother's infancy. When he was five years old, his mother died again. His parents only had this piano. He had to learn from his father to play the piano, but he never learned it.
, and had no money to seek a teacher, so I had no choice but to play randomly.
Duke Huan saw that the child had bright eyes and was very fond of him. The child did not know his own name, so he named him "Hao Zhong". He called in the musicians to teach the child how to play the piano, and "Hao Zhong" studied hard and practiced hard.
A few years later, Huanzheng was about to conquer the state of Lu. On the second day, he went out to take the oath of victory. Suddenly he heard the sound of horns and the ringing of bells and drums, which made people excited and eager to fight. He tried to brag about it and got better.
Isn't this music useful for tomorrow's expedition? When I looked for the sound, I saw that it was the "bell" playing the piano. I was very happy.
The next day, an army of 100,000 people stood upright, with military flags hunting. Duke Huan ordered his men to blow the horns, and the "bell" played the harp to echo the sound. The sound of the horns and the sound of the harp made the army vibrate.
The melody of the "bell" played with the accompaniment of bull horns is majestic, tragic, exciting and exciting. Everyone in the thousands of troops feels their blood boiling, their fighting spirit is high, their ambition is high, and their morale is doubled.
Sure enough, the journey was unstoppable, invincible, and the victory returned. The name of this "bell" guqin was once again resounding throughout the world. However, no one knows whether this guqin is the "bell" originally held by Boya.
, after all, so much time has passed, and the "bell" has long been lost.
Although "Green Qi" is not as famous as "Hao Zhong", it is also quite famous. According to legend, Green Qi is completely black with a faint green tint, like green vines twining around ancient trees, hence its name.
But we have not been lucky enough to see its true appearance - the body of the guqin needs to be made of loose wood (the most suitable is paulownia), and the strings are made of intact sinews or horsetails of animals (such as cows), which cannot withstand the years.
Momo has long since disappeared in the vast river of history.
"Green Qi" is a qin played by Sima Xiangru, a famous scholar in the Han Dynasty.
Sima Xiangru was originally from a poor family with only four walls, but his poems were extremely famous.
The King of Liang was so impressed that he asked him to write a poem, and Xiangru wrote a "Ruyu Fu" as a gift to him.
This poem has magnificent words and extraordinary charm. The king of Liang was very happy and gave it back with the "Green Qi" Qin he collected.
"Green Qi" is a famous Qin passed down from generation to generation. There is an inscription inside the Qin that reads: "Tong Zi He Jing".
When Xiangru got the "Green Qi", it was like finding a treasure. His exquisite piano skills coupled with the wonderful tone of the "Green Qi" made the "Green Qi" famous for a while. Later, "Green Qi" became another name for the guqin.
Once, Sima Xiangru visited a friend, and the rich man Zhuo Wangsun held a banquet in his honor. When the wine was in full swing, everyone said: "I heard that you play "Green Qi" very well. Please play a song and let us enjoy it."
Xiangru had long heard that Zhuo Wangsun's daughter Wenjun was talented and proficient in piano skills, and she admired him very much.
Sima Xiangru played the piano song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" to woo her.
There are lyrics that say: "There is a beautiful woman here, and you will never forget it when you see her. If you don't see her for a day, you will miss her like crazy."
The phoenix is soaring, and the phoenix is begging for it from all over the world. But the beauty is here, not on the east wall.
Zhang Qin talks to Xi, chatting with his heartfelt feelings. When will I see Xu Xi, comfort me in my hesitation.
I would like to say that I am worthy of my virtue, and we will join hands with each other. I will not be able to fly, so that I will be destroyed, and I will be destroyed. The phoenix comes back to its hometown, and travels around the world to seek its phoenix. I haven't met you yet, and I have no generals. How can I realize that I am now in the hall...
……………”
After Wenjun listened to the music, he understood the meaning of the music. He couldn't help but blush and feel fascinated.
She fell in love with Xiangru's literary talents, and in order to repay her "encounter with a bosom friend", she went to Xiangru's residence at night to establish a good relationship. From then on, Sima Xiangru pursued Wenjun with the piano, which has been passed down as an eternal legend.
Ji Kang said with a smile: "Uncle Ping, thank you very much. Even if there is no Prime Minister's "Jiaowei", as long as the qin music is good and the player is good at playing, he can still play the qin that is beautiful and sweet. Even if the guqin is good, But after all, it is just an external object. Only if you have the heart of a saint can you play an ordinary piano to produce the sound of a "sage's instrument."
Guqin, also known as Yaoqin, Yuqin and Lyre, is a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument and belongs to the eight-note silk.
Legend has it that Emperor Yan discovered music by "cutting millet and setting the yellow bell" at the foot of Yangtou Mountain in Jingfeng, Qinyuan. Emperor Yan Shennong also "cut tung trees into qin and used ropes to make strings", creating the original qin.
In fact, the earliest written record of Qin in history can be found in the Book of Songs.
"The Book of Songs·Zhou Nan·Guan Ju": "A graceful lady is friends with the harp and harp." "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Lu Ming": "I have a distinguished guest who plays the harp, the harp, and the harp." Chinese traditional culture believes that there are five stars in the sky and five stars on the ground. Five elements, the sounds in the world have five tones.
Therefore, the guqin originally had only five strings, which were combined with the five elements (gold, wood, water, fire, and earth) on the inside and the five tones (gong, shang, jiao, zheng, and feather) on the outside.
Later, King Wen and King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty added two strings, Wen and Wu, to symbolize the harmony between the monarch and his ministers, and it became the lyre we see now.
The guqin is generally about three feet, six inches and a half long, symbolizing the three hundred and sixty-five days in a year; the face is round and the bottom is flat, symbolizing heaven and earth; the body of the qin corresponds to the body of a phoenix (it can also be said to correspond to the human body), with a head, neck, shoulders and waist. ,tail,foot.
It has always been hailed as the "instrument of the saint", and ancient taxis also "played the harp without any reason".
