Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 37
Ding Yi looked at the students in front of Shen Mo: "Everyone, you're making a fool of yourself! I still have something to do, so I'm leaving!"

After speaking, he dragged Cheng Chumo, who left a few hurtful tears by his side, away.

"Ding Yi, I, Cheng Chumo, have never convinced anyone, but you, I really did!" Cheng Chumo bowed his hands to Ding Yi with a serious face.

He patted Cheng Chumo's hand: "Isn't it just a song! As for it? In the future, there will be more times to convince you! Come, accompany me to the math school! See the good show, haha!"

"What a good show?" Cheng Chumo was not polite with Ding Yi, brother Chu would be born if he paid so much attention, wouldn't he?
"You will know when you go!"

.........

After listening to Ding Yi's sung Loyalty and Serving the Country, the students couldn't help sighing that such a tune really made people's blood surging, and they discussed with a few friends one by one. This style of music has never been seen in Datang. Most of the current folk art is based on joining the army and singing and dancing dramas. The form of music songs in the Tang Dynasty is relatively complete, such as "Daqu", which already has Sanban, Adagio, and Zhongban, and it has changed to Allegro. This is the so-called modern variation.With Daqu, it can be accompanied by a story.

As the songs flourished, the prototype of opera was formed.

The representative forms of song and dance drama are:
① "Ta Yao Niang" originated from the Northern Qi Dynasty. It is written about an incompetent husband drinking and beating his wife. The woman complains (singing to the beat, so it is called "Tap Poetry").By the time of the Tang Dynasty, it had been performed by women and accompanied by music. It was no longer a martial art, but a combination of singing and dancing, and there was a form of "helping".

② "Lanling King", also known as "Dai Mian" and "Da Mian".

Duan Anjie's "Yuefu Miscellaneous Records" in the late Tang Dynasty stated: "There is a representative face in the play, which began with Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The actor wears purple clothes, a gold waist, and a whip."

"Lanling King" was later introduced to Japan, that is, "Luoling King" in the Japanese Gagakubu.

③ "Turning Head", from the Western Regions.The plot is that a barbarian was devoured by ferocious beasts, and the various experiences of his son going up the mountain to find his father have developed into a very exciting drama in the Tang Dynasty.

join the army

Joining the Army drama was popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a form of drama based on funny questions and answers.

"Yuefu Miscellaneous Records" says: "Joining the army - it began with Tao Lingshi in the later Han Dynasty. There were stolen criminals, and the emperor cherished his talents, exempted from crime, and every feast, that is, he was ordered to wear white shirts, and ordered actors to tease and humiliate him. After a year, it will be released. Later, it will join the army."

The term "joining the army" began at the end of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao took over the military power as the prime minister, and his staff often used the name "joining the prime minister's military".Up to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the kings and generals opened their mansions, they all placed soldiers in the army as their main staff.In the Tang and Song dynasties, joining the army became a role name in farce.In the beginning, the drama of joining the army mainly performed various situations of mocking corrupt officials.Later, the plot gradually changed and became a form of drama that was often performed, still known as joining the army drama.

While discussing, the students asked the people around them who sang the song just now.Everyone didn't know who Ding Yi was, but just after Cheng Chu silently called him Ding Yi, some well-informed person told what Ding Yi did and kept digging up Ding Yi's past.After a while of discussion, I found out that Ding Yi was in the Mathematical Academy, and I heard people say that today the Mathematical Academy has not finished class at this moment, and King Yue is still lying outside the Mathematical Academy to calculate problems!Everyone went to the Mathematics Academy together, and they didn't forget to inform their three friends and two friends.

……

As soon as Ding returned to the mathematics hall, he saw that the little fat man was still calculating, and Dr. Su and the others were also scratching their heads and writing and drawing.

Watching them write one, two, three, four... Ding Yi's scalp felt numb for a while, he could count it down like this, amazing!
"Ding Yi, what are they doing?" Cheng Chumo didn't see clearly who the fat man with his buttocks sticking out was writing and drawing.

Ding Yi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Hey, I gave them a math problem, and they are doing the math right now!"

"Ah! Did you come up with it?" Cheng Chumo was surprised that Ding Yi would still come up with math problems. After all, he watched Ding Yi ride a bicycle when he was with Ding Yi. He didn't know what to do when he stayed in the mansion, just some craftsmen's things. , and Qu'er, he knew about the situation in Ding Yi's mansion, but he only knew that there was a lot of business in his mansion.

"I just told you not to worry, you will be surprised more in the future!"

"Hey!" Cheng Chumo smiled awkwardly.

Ignoring the embarrassment, Cheng Chumo turned around and asked, "Dr. Su? Dr. Su? It's been almost two hours, let's just forget it!"

"what!"

"That's it... But I'm going to figure it out soon! Wait a minute!" Dr. Su was a little embarrassed, being stumped by a new brat, which made him feel embarrassed!

"Dr. Su, why are you doing this! Isn't it just one question, as long as you promise me to leave me alone, isn't it over!" Ding Yi was still thinking about asking for a few months of leave, and he had to go back to Shiping Let's deal with your own fief!

"Don't worry, I've already figured out how to solve it!"

Ding Yi:"……"

"Little fat man, don't forget, you can't figure it out!" Ding Yi ignored Dr. Su, turned around and said to the little fat man.

"Go away! Don't disturb this king!" the little fat man roared angrily.

Ding Yi was a little surprised when he heard this, this is still a prince!This Guozijian really deserves to be the gathering place for the children of the royal family and the nobles!

Cheng Chu defaulted on Li Tai, although he was surprised at what his brother did, he bowed to Li Tai first and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yue!"

Li Tai didn't respond to Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chumo didn't bother him, and pulled Ding Yi aside: "Ding Yi, that's King Yue, His Majesty's fourth son. You actually called him a little fat man, puff! Although it's true!" Cheng Chumo laughed as he spoke, it was so joyous.

"(⊙o⊙)..., King of Yue? Li Tai!" Ding Yi was stunned. He had heard that Li Tai was a fat man, and he claimed to be very knowledgeable. He would write "Kuo Di Zhi" in the future.

"Yes, brother!"...

Cheng Chumo was dragging Ding Yi to his house to try Jiangsu cuisine when a group of people suddenly poured in from outside.

When the students arrived at the Mathematical Academy, they saw Ding Yi, who was singing just now, chatting with Cheng Chumo, King Yue was lying on the ground, not knowing what he was doing, and the teachers and students in the Mathematical Academy were also writing something on the sand table paper.

Curiosity prompted the students to go closer and take a look. When they saw that the paper was full of things, there would be more people when there were four people, and how many more people would be there when there were five people.The people who couldn't understand hurriedly walked towards Ding Yi to ask, and Ding Yi was talking about the problem to everyone. There were many of these people who had some foundation in arithmetic, and they all did the calculations on their own. Cheng Chumo panicked for a while, ready to run away!

When the teaching assistant saw this situation, he hurried to look for Siye and Jijiu.

"Kong Jijiu, something happened in the Mathematical Academy!"

……

　Li Tai was named king of Yue in 628 and king of Wei in 636.
