Chapter 177 The opening of the music hall, the secret meeting of Song Huizong
In the fourth year of Daguan's awakening, Baike gathered in the Bianhe River in Bianliang, which flows through Tokyo. There were Jingdong Road, Hebei Road, Huainan Road and other roads in the Song Dynasty. Wealthy businessmen from various prefectures rushed to the capital in building boats. Most of those building boats were majestic.
, a large luxury building with a hull of ten feet high and a headband of eight feet, with fifty sails. The Taiping fleet entering and exiting the gate of the capital was also bustling with people. Of course, some of these people were for
They came to this most prosperous place in the Song Dynasty to take care of their own business, and some just came to see the elegance of Jinfeng Yulu Tower.
The Jinfeng Yulu Building that was originally located in Daming Prefecture was newly relocated to Bianliang, Tokyo, and even the Baifan Building of the Seventy-Two Restaurants in the capital was reopened. It has been rumored not only in the capital city, but also in the metropolis.
It is a widely circulated event among the princes and princes near Gyeonggi Road, where the entertainment industry is extremely prosperous.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation not only in Goulan Houses but also in the brothels and music studios. In the officials and government offices who were accustomed to the romantic life and loved to hunt for novel and new ways of playing songs and lyrics, how could the children of wealthy businessmen be willing to succumb to others at this time? In the Song Dynasty,
At that time, the people were looking for a place to have fun, listen to music, eat and drink, and their entertainment life was very rich all night long. If they caught up with the opening day of the Jinfeng Yulu Tower in the capital, they would have something to brag about and show off to others in the future.
Of course, among the literati and poets of the Song Dynasty, there were also those who scorned the new repertoire that Xiao Tang played in the Jinfeng Yululou Band Hall of Daming Mansion, and there were also a few who criticized it. Why? Just because of one word
:Vulgar!
The songs sung in the Jinfeng Yulu Tower neither pay attention to rhythm, counterpoint, or elegance, nor do they pay much attention to repeated words, repeated rhymes, and repeated sentences. It is nothing more than that the tunes and melodies are very pleasant to the ear. Those who used to fill in the words according to the melody and rhythm
The lyrics and music that can be recited to the sound pay great attention to the literary talent and emotional expression of the words. How can the lyrics of the songs in Jinfeng Yululou be as vulgar and popular?
However, the angry voices of those indignant poets were quickly suppressed by public opinion: Bai Juyi, the Xiangshan layman who was the king of poets in the Tang Dynasty, would read every poem he wrote to an old woman in the countryside. Whenever the old woman did not understand something, he would
Revise again, and strive to make your poems suitable for both refined and popular tastes, teach poems and texts that are clear and easy to understand, and use language that is popular and popular. The music in the music studio is just for entertainment, not for the sake of literary talent. Besides, you guys who hang out in brothels
Are you pretending to be an elegant person again?
Ci at that time was indeed considered a vulgar folk art. In its early stages of development, it was extremely gorgeous and flashy, and was widely popular in public places and restaurants. It was once thought by many literary giants and scholars that it was difficult to reach the level of elegance, so the talented Liu
Yong could only "bear with the false reputation and sing in a low voice instead of pouring wine", and Yan Shu, the famous Prime Minister during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, was also the "Poetry Prime Minister" of the graceful school who was widely sung by later generations. However, after he became the Prime Minister, he
He doesn't admit that many of the good words were written by him before.
Not all poets are like Su Shi, a literary giant who is comfortable with the artistic techniques of poetry, and the realm of writing lyrics has reached the creative achievement of "using poetry as lyrics, one is a family", nor are all poets like Qin Guan.
Regardless of the poems, lyrics, policy discussions, etc., they all have amazing talents that are different from ordinary people...
But now, Zhou Bangyan, the most famous among the poets of the Song Dynasty, and He Guitou and He Zhu, who are quite chivalrous and mad, are full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for many chivalrous people in Jinfeng Yululou Lefang.
I quite admire the tunes. Most of the poets who attacked the popular lyrics and music "created" by Xiao Tang were jealous and angry just because Jinfeng Yulu Tower had grabbed the attention of the big and small brothels in the capital.
They made a big fuss about the vulgarity of the new song, but their actions only made Jin Feng Yu Lu Lou even more popular.
Therefore, the opening of Jinfeng Yulu House was well known throughout the capital, and everyone was aware of it. In addition, there was Liu Yingyan, who was known as the first oiran in the brothels on Hebei Road, which led to many self-proclaimed romantics and spendthrifts.
The young master's office has long been eager to come and see its beauty on the opening day, and the most regrettable thing for the rich ladies of the capital's official families is that the "prodigal son" who was widely sought after and admired by ladies of all ages in Damingfu's Lefang was "relegated"
"Immortal" seems to have no longer appeared in the Beijing Music Hall.
The ticket price of Jinfeng Yulu Lou Lefang has also increased from sixty or eighty guan in Daming Mansion to the highest price of 300 guan per person. Even so, there are still many wealthy businessmen who can't get a ticket.
You can wait until the next show and then squeeze in to grab tickets.
Finally, the day of the Golden Wind and Jade Tower arrived. Although the music studio was scheduled to accept guests at the You hour, in no time, crowds from all walks of life in Bianliang, Tokyo, rushed to the north end of the imperial street of the capital. The servants of the Kaifeng government office and even the capital of the third government office
As if facing a formidable enemy, the Imperial Guard set up positions on the streets leading to the Jinfeng Yulu Tower to maintain public security and order. There were even a golden spear squad and an archery squad in the inner palace of the palace;
The Imperial Guards of the official family were dispatched, and hundreds of powerful Imperial Guards were standing ready. A separate passage was opened for a pair of horses to drive from the Imperial Palace in the capital towards the Jinfeng Yulu Tower...
Finally, at the moment of Unity hour, wealthy businessmen and princes from all walks of life filed in from the main entrance of Jinfeng Yulu Building. At this time, not only were the imperial guards from the capital, but also the Kaifeng government officials maintained order on the scene. Xiao Tang's general manager Shi Xiu led Jiao Ting, Shi Qian, and Zheng
Tianshou and others also led the villagers to look at everyone's entry with cold eyes. However, thousands of spectators entered in an orderly manner from beginning to end. There were elite imperial guards with guns and armor, and all the senior and experienced people in Kaifeng Mansion were arrested.
As for Shi Xiu, who had already brought most of the gangsters in the market into obedience when he arrived in the capital, who would dare to stir up trouble at this juncture?
Before the audience had all sat down, the melodious and melodious welcoming music had already started playing. The song played was "Forgetting Each Other in the Jianghu" from the music album "The World" jointly created by later Chinese comic master Cai Zhizhong and Lin Hai and Wu Jindai, a new century musician.
”, when the audience heard it, they had never heard it before. It was a new song coming from the band hall. There was thunderous applause and cheers in the building. Some guests had just been introduced to the banquet hall by the waiters, and they couldn’t wait to shout
The fine wine, coupled with the clear and clear sound of the flute, as well as the cucurbit flute, lyre (replacing the cello, piano and other instruments in the original song) and other musical instruments, make you shake your head and head, and you will be mesmerized by the sound.
When all the audience were seated, suddenly, a melodious pipa sound suddenly sounded, and a fragrant chair slowly descended from the golden wind and jade tower. The quiet and beautiful oiran Liu Yingyan plucked the pipa strings with her slender jade fingers, playing a hundred songs.
The pipa music that played thousands of times reached the ears of all the audience, and seemed to gently stir everyone's hearts. The sad and lingering melody really had the artistic conception of "weeping and whispering to express the heart", and how many literati and poets moved their lips lightly.
, all thinking about how to write good lyrics for this lingering, pathos, and slightly melancholy pipa music, but they didn’t know that their emotions had already fallen into the magic of the melody played by Liu Yingyan.
When Xiao Tangzheng, Yan Qing, and Xu Guanzhong were listening quietly at the corridor of the flying bridge connecting the five buildings of Jinfeng Yulu Building, suddenly a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed as a servant, walked up to Xiao Tang and screamed
He said to Xiao Tang in a thin voice: "Xiao is the prisoner. The official is in the secret room in the building, announcing your presence."
