Inherit For Three Thousand Years

The three of them walked to the yard with Xiao Yao, and he pretended to take out the Flying Water Flying Red Qin from the trunk, and walked into the octagonal pavilion by the pond with the guqin in his hands.

Sitting in front of the guqin, Xiao Yao asked, Does Uncle Fang have any songs that he particularly wants to hear?

You can play whatever you want, as long as it's the piece you are good at. Although Fang's father likes guqin music, he doesn't particularly like the piece.

Today's weather is a bit hot, why don't I play a piece of Autumn Wind Ci for you, although it can't attract you to the autumn wind, but it can make you feel the autumn. Live cool.

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he stroked the strings lightly, and the sound of tinkling and gurgling pierced through the summer heat and echoed in everyone's ears.

Every piece of piano music has its own characteristics and uniqueness, especially the ancient music that has been handed down to the present. After revisions by generations of music masters, it has already been honed and perfect.

Autumn Wind Ci is no exception. Although it has not been completed for a long time, after several generations of revisions, it is already one of the classic pieces of guqin music.

Although Autumn Wind Ci is a short song, it goes back and forth, with short meaning and long love. There are so many correspondences between pressing and dispersing, even beginners can understand one of them relatively easily.

That’s right, based on the technique of playing Guqin, this Autumn Wind Ci is just an introductory piece for Guqin, even beginners of Guqin can easily play this piece.

However, the simpler the piece, the more difficult it is to play the essence of it.

Beginners can only pursue the perfection of technique. If the piano piece is short and simple and neglected, it will never be possible to play the true meaning of the piece.

The characteristics of this song are that although it is a ditty, it is rich in content and moving in emotion.

This simple piece uses a looping technique to describe the infinite lovesickness and love.

Papa Fang, an amateur of guqin music, is naturally very familiar with this simple classic piece.

Autumn Wind Ci is one of the famous ditties in guqin music.

It was handed down by Wang Binlu of Zhucheng School in Shandong, and later compiled by his disciples Xu Zhuo and Shao Sen. The first edition was published in 1931.

Autumn Wind Ci is small in style, with words:

The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws roost and startle again.

When will lovesickness meet each other? Embarrassed at this time and night!

Enter the door of my lovesickness,

I know lovesickness is bitter, long-term lovesickness is long-term lovesickness, short-term lovesickness is endless, if I knew it was so stumbling, why didn't I know each other at the beginning.

The first half of this poem is Autumn Wind Ci written by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem is accompanied by qin music and the second half of the poem is added, which is similar to the poem in The Complaint of the Concubine Xiang.

People who don't understand guqin music may wonder why such a simple piece of music has such accompaniment?

The reason why most beginners learn qin music is to play some ditty tunes with lyrics, because this can facilitate us to better understand the meaning of the tune.

With the lyrics, the meaning of the song is easier for beginners to understand, and it is convenient for fingering to have better control ability, and to express the meaning of the song with appropriate techniques as much as possible.

At the same time, it can be felt that the unit of Qin music is sentence, rather than simply unit of measure, which is also a very distinctive point of Qin music.

At the beginning, because of his familiarity with the song, Father Fang could compare it with the lyrics and score in his impression.

But as Xiao Yao played, unconsciously, Father Fang had already forgotten the lyrics in his memory, and there was no room for other thoughts in his consciousness except for the melodious sound of the piano.

With the performance of the qin music, he seemed to be in the cool autumn wind, and seemed to see the bright autumn moon, falling leaves and jackdaws perched on the branches.

But what these scenes set off is not a sad atmosphere, but a bleak and a touch of sadness.

This kind of feeling seems to be different from the artistic conception of the original song, but it is even better.

The original song and the accompanying lyrics are typical works of mourning autumn and cherishing people.

The lyrics and music complement each other, and the description of the scenery in late autumn vividly highlights the sad atmosphere.

This kind of description and setting, coupled with the wonderful imagination and perfect characterization of the lyrics, make the whole piece look sad and distant, as sad as a complaint.

Father Fang once heard a master play this piece. The master's superb skills can make people feel the pain and helplessness of lovesickness from the words, and can also make people feel the infinite lovesickness from the singing.

The master's performance left a deep memory in him.

But Xiao Yao's interpretation of this piece is obviously better.

After his adaptation, although the technique of playing this piece still maintains the original level, the conception has been greatly improved.

After listening to the performance of this piece of music, what left in Fang's father's heart was only infinite regret for the bleakness in late autumn and a touch of sadness.

Although this kind of feeling cannot be unforgettable, it has already lingered in my heart unconsciously, and it is difficult to get rid of it.

The sound of the piano stopped for a long time before the three onlookers were relieved from their slight sorrow.

Father Fang felt the deepest, and couldn't help commenting: I have listened to many live performances of Guqin masters. I thought that the highest skill of Guqin was nothing more than this, but after listening to your performance, I realized that I am no more than that. It's the frog looking at the sky from the well, stuck in the well but not knowing it, thinking it's seeing the whole sky.

It was only at this moment that I realized that the truly top-notch guqin performance was so unforgettable. If I hadn't had the real experience at this moment, I would never have thought that a piece of Guqin music can manipulate the hearts of the audience, it is really amazing!

You're flattering me. My attainments in guqin are indeed higher, but I haven't reached the level you said. Xiao Yao at this moment was humble.

Mother Fang also said: You are too modest. What Lao Fang said is not an exaggeration at all. Lao Fang and I have listened to Guqin recitals several times. The skills of those master performers are indeed admirable. Their performances have surpassed The category of skills, if you experience it with your heart, you will be touched emotionally.

Originally, I also thought that this was already the highest state of performance, but after listening to your performance, I realized that this state is still far away.

Your performance can easily make people fall into obsession, and even control people's minds. If you don't hear this kind of performance state with your own ears, it is simply unimaginable. Compared with your performance, if you feel it with your heart, you will be emotionally touched, which is no longer worth mentioning, and the difference between the two is judged.

You really don't have to be humble, you deserve such praise. Mother Fang spoke seriously, looking at Xiao Yao as if admiring a priceless treasure.

If it is said that Fang's father has the deepest feeling in his heart, then the person who is most shocked must be Fang Suxi.

Although he didn't know much about guqin music, she was a professional musician after all. Although the external forms of musical instruments are different, and the performance techniques are also different, the expression of music is the same.

After listening to this piece of music, Fang Suxi felt that her soul seemed to have been baptized, she seemed to see another door in the music world, as long as she stepped into this door, it would be another world.

Xiao Yao is already a member of Xintiandi, and he can roam freely in this new world. Although Fang Suxi was not enough to enter this new world, she was fortunate enough to see the fascinating scene in this new world.

Her current location is still extremely far away from this new world, and she will not be discouraged by the long distance, because she has already found her goal. As long as she has a goal and keeps walking towards it, No matter how far the distance is, there will be a day when it will be reached.

Fang Suxi's clear eyes have been staring at Xiao Yao's cheek obsessively. She didn't say anything, but the undisguised obsession in her eyes has already completely exposed her thoughts at this time.

After playing Autumn Wind Ci, Xiao Yao's interest became even higher. He took the initiative to say: The performance of Autumn Wind Ci is relatively simple, so I will play another piece Oulu Wangji for everyone.

Fang Suxi has never heard this guqin piece, but she has a deep understanding of the word Oulu Wangji.

The word Oulu Wangji comes from Liezi·Huangdi Chapter, in which Good Gulls tells such a fable: There are good gulls in the sea. The one who lived there never stopped. His father said: I heard that gulls and birds swim from you, and you fetch them, and I play with them. In the sea of ​​tomorrow, the gulls and birds dance and will not come down.

The two idioms Gulls and birds forget the machine and Gulls and birds don't get down come from this fable.

The state of Oulu Wangji is highly praised by literati and Taoists.

The literati believe that: if a person can forget the machine, the bird will not suspect it; if the man moves, the bird will stay away.

Taoism believes that: the form can be deceived, but the god cannot be deceived. My god moves slightly, and the other god knows it. Therefore, the sage is in the same dust with all things, and often has no intention to follow each other.

Pei Songzhi's annotation The History of the Three Kingdoms · Gao Rou Biography said: If the heart is cute, the gulls and birds will not let go.

Xin Qiji's Water Tune Getou and Wang Zhengzhi's Yousi Wujiang Watching Snow Seeing Message said: The banished immortal is accompanied by gulls and birds, and the two forget the machine.

It can be seen how highly respected Oulu Wangji's realm is.

After listening to Xiao Yao's words, Father Fang was the happiest. One of his personal favorite guqin pieces is Oulu Wangji. He didn't expect Xiao Yao to play this guqin piece, and he was very much looking forward to it.

Guqin piece Oulu Wangji is a long-standing Guqin piece, which is said to have been composed by Liu Zhifang in the Song Dynasty.

The literature that can be found now can be traced back, and the music score was first seen in the Magic Secret Puzzle compiled by Zhu Quan in the Ming Dynasty.

This piece consists of two sections plus an overtone coda, and it is not too difficult to perform in terms of technique. It is rated as a level 5 repertoire in modern times.

With the continuation of time, this piece of music has also changed a lot in history. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Oulu Wangji is a rather delicate lyric piece on the guqin. Its artistic conception is profound, the meaning of the song is meaningful, the fingering is delicate, the philosophy is profound, and it is intriguing. The more cultivated people are, the more they can understand the true meaning of this piece, and the more they like this piece.

This piece of qin music advises people to be kind-hearted and not to have harmful intentions. It is difficult for beginners to understand the essence of this piece of music, but even if they can understand the superficial conception of it, it is a matter of spirituality and self-cultivation. A big improvement.

This is a qin piece that can cultivate sentiment. If you are lucky enough to hear a well-trained guqin master play this piece, it will be a supreme spiritual enjoyment.

Father Fang liked this song so much. After the sound of the piano sounded, he put aside all distracting thoughts and devoted himself to experiencing the artistic conception of this song.

Oulu Wangji shows people's simplicity of Oulu Wangji through the serene demeanor of the bird. This piece does not require high technique, but it is extremely difficult to play the essence of this piece.

Xiao Yao's playing technique has already been superb, every move is not restricted by the technical stereotypes, every movement has an indescribable harmonious rhythm, no matter who sees it, they can appreciate the beauty of natural harmony.

Techniques are just appearances. At the beginning, Fang Suxi was fascinated by his every move. But only a moment later, Fang Suxi's entire mind was immersed in the realm created by the sound of the piano, and she had already forgotten everything around her.

The music is full of interest and contentment, and the harmonious sound of the piano leads people's thinking to the beautiful nature, and their mood is suddenly enlightened. The music expresses the spiritual world of truth, kindness and beauty.

The so-called forgetting the machine actually means forgetting the scheming. Taoist culture advocates that people should respect and adapt to nature instead of destroying it. When you want to change something with that scheming, you suddenly find that everything around you seems to be changing. Complying with nature, following the opportunity, and seizing the opportunity is wisdom.
