Chapter 58 0058, You play the flute well

After introducing the makers and materials of several musical instruments on the display shelf, Wu Zhenhui became more and more excited and said, "In ancient times, people's cultural accomplishments included playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Playing the zither was the most important of the four talents. Only those who possessed these four talents were called talented men and women."

Wu Zhongyu knew that Wu Zhenhui had a professional disease and mistook them for customers, but she did not interrupt him.

Wu Zhenhui gently stroked the guqin and said, "The ethereal and crisp sound of the guqin is a beautiful enjoyment, and making sounds became the fun of exploration and discovery for the ancients, and then various musical instruments were invented."

This place seemed to have turned into a classroom, and Wu Zhenhui turned into a teacher at the podium.

"The guzheng, with one string and one tone, has been widely used since ancient times and is popular and loved by people from all walks of life. It is an art that is appreciated by both the elite and the masses, and its entertainment value is quite prominent."

Everyone listened carefully, especially Yunfeng, as this was an opportunity to learn about these instruments.

"The pipa is the most important plucked instrument. It has added a touch of rich color and brilliance to the Chinese culture with its unique artistic charm."

Wu Zhenhui speaks at a moderate pace, which makes it comfortable to listen to.

"The erhu, also known as the huqin, has been around since the Tang Dynasty and has become a unique stringed instrument in my country. It is suitable for expressing deep and sad content, as well as describing magnificent and majestic artistic conception."

Ling Yunuo pointed to a flute at the edge of the display shelf and asked, "Master Wu, where is the flute?"

She just noticed that among the many musical instruments, Yunfeng seemed to be only interested in the dongxiao.

Wu Zhenhui smiled slightly, took the flute off the display stand, and said, "The history of the flute can be traced back to ancient times. The flute has experienced many glorious years in the history of Chinese music."

Liang Xixi was so interested that she couldn't help but interrupt, "Master Wu, I saw a saying on the Internet: 'It takes three years to play the pipa and five years to play the xiao. You can break your waist by playing the erhu. There are thousand-year-old xun and ten-thousand-year-old zheng, but only the suona can reach the sky.' Is that an exaggeration?"

Wu Zhenhui smiled when he heard this and said, "It's an exaggeration, but it's true. You don't have to call me Master anymore. Just call me 'Teacher' like you call me Old Wu."

"Then Teacher Wu..." Wu Zhongyu said, "Have you finished your teaching class?"

"Haha." Wu Zhenhui laughed twice and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it."

Wu Zhongyu turned to look at Yunfeng and said, "I heard from Xiao Tang that you play the piano and guitar well. There should be a piano over there, and you can go downstairs to pick a guitar."

Yunfeng asked: "Teacher Wu, isn't this musical instrument academic exchange meeting an exchange of theoretical knowledge? It also requires practical practice?"

Wu Zhongyu smiled and replied, "Both, otherwise how could it last three days?"

Wu Zhenhui took over the conversation and said, "You think this musical instrument academic exchange meeting is simple. If it is just a domestic event, it is basically just a report. But if it rises to the level of the world, it will be different."

Tang Yu, who had been silent the whole time, asked, "Teacher Wu, are you referring to the collision of Chinese and Western musical instruments?"

Wu Zhenhui nodded and said, "This is inevitable, otherwise Old Wu would not have asked me to prepare these instruments for you. A good instrument is to a musician as important as a good weapon is to a soldier."

At this point, all the doubts in Yunfeng’s mind were resolved.

but……

One thing hasn't changed.

Yan Lide brought him along just to make up the numbers.

Wu Zhenhui then asked, "Do you play classical guitar, folk guitar, or electric guitar? I'll give you one from my collection."

"Uh..." Yunfeng touched his nose and said, "Actually, my piano and guitar playing is average, but I'm a bit better at playing the flute."

"I didn't expect that it was a group of children who liked our Chinese national musical instruments. Good, good, good." Wu Zhenhui said "good" three times in a row to express his joy. He handed the flute to Yunfeng and said, "This one is made of top-grade purple bamboo. The tone is mellow and soft, quiet and elegant, suitable for solo and ensemble."

Yunfeng took it and tried to play it for a short while. It was indeed a good flute.

Although there were only a dozen notes, Wu Zhenhui had an indescribable feeling after listening to it, and asked curiously: "Young man, you played the flute well, but which song did you just play?"

"Ah, this..." Yunfeng laughed and said, "I just wanted to test the sound, so I blew it randomly."

He had only used the skill book before and had never practiced the flute. Just now, he felt itchy and played a short piece of "Swordsman" rewarded by the system.

"Just playing randomly?" Wu Zhenhui recalled that the dozen or so notes just now did not seem to be played randomly. "Xiaoyun has a good sense of music. His previous songs "Dragon Fist" and "Childhood" were hummed melodies." Wu Zhongyu's words not only solved Wu Zhenhui's doubts, but also solved Yunfeng's embarrassment.

"So the two songs that are very popular online recently were written by you." Wu Zhenhui showed surprise and said, "There are very few young people like you who write lyrics with national spirit. I especially like the lines 'Crossing the east of the Yellow River, climbing to the top of Mount Tai, I lead the north wind to the west, and get tanned into bronze'. You are really young and promising."

"Okay, there will be plenty of time for you to reflect later, it's time to go." Wu Zhongyu raised his hand to check his watch. It was already two o'clock, just in time to go. Then he asked Wu Zhenhui, "Are you going with me today?"

"Go." Wu Zhenhui nodded and said, "Li De and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Wu Zhongyu invited Wu Zhenhui early on.

On the surface, it is an academic exchange on musical instruments among major art schools around the world, but secretly it is a collision of Chinese and Western musical instrument cultures.

In the previous few times, Western instruments prevailed.

The world's three major musical instruments, piano, violin and classical guitar, are all Western instruments. Current teaching focuses on these instruments, and very few people learn Chinese national instruments.

This time, Wu Zhongyu searched all four campuses of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music before he found two people other than Tang Yu who were good at playing Chinese traditional instruments.

As for Yunfeng...

The group went back to the hotel first, firstly to store the musical instruments in the room, and secondly to wake up Yan Lide who was sleeping.

When these young people came out of the Liuyi Musical Instruments Store, each of them was holding a musical instrument.

Yunfeng's flute.

Tang Yu's guqin.

Ling Yunuo's pipa.

Liang Xixi's erhu.

They are all musical instruments that they are good at, but they are still a bit conspicuous when walking on the street. Even if they are in corresponding boxes, they will still attract a lot of attention, especially the instruments held by the three girls, which are quite large including the boxes.

----

The venue for this musical instrument academic exchange meeting was chosen to be the Central Conservatory of Music.

The Central Conservatory of Music is a higher music school with Western music education as its main feature. Its Western music education level ranks among the best in the country. It cultivates professionals in Western music performance, Western music education, and Western music creation. It is one of the three top music schools selected as "World-Class Discipline Construction Universities".

Among domestic music conservatories, it has always ranked first, surpassing the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

Although it was the New Year's Day holiday and most students had gone home, the event was still lively due to the arrival of teachers and students from more than a dozen famous art schools at home and abroad.

"Oh~ Ms. Wu Zhongyu, long time no see, how are you doing recently?" In front of the concert hall, a foreigner with black hair, brown eyes and a high nose bridge, speaking fluent Chinese, came over to greet Wu Zhongyu.

"Mr. Alvaro, how are you?" Wu Zhongyu said unceremoniously, "It's not so easy to win this time."

Alvaro glanced at Yunfeng and the others, then pointed to two blond young men who were talking and laughing not far away and said, "For Angelo and Aanzo, the children you brought are too young."

Yan Lide smiled and said, "Alvaro, don't underestimate young people."

Alvaro also smiled and said, "Yan, then I'll wait and see."

After Alvaro left, Yan Lide introduced him to Yunfeng and the others: "Alvaro is a professor at the Maro Conservatory of Music. He is also a famous pianist in Italy. Those two are his favorite students. They are very good at piano playing. Including this time, they have come three times."

Wu Zhenhui said: "These people are nothing more than the piano, violin, cello and guitar. It is true that they are more expressive, but it doesn't matter what the instrument is. The main thing is to look at the performer and the music played."

Yunfeng and the others nodded, not quite understanding what was said.

Wu Zhongyu said: "Let's go, let's go in too."
