Journey to the West: I am entertaining in Datang

It turned out to be performing "The Song of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle"!

This is a court music and dance of the Tang Dynasty, one of the most famous songs and dances.

It was originally used for banquets and later for sacrifices. It belongs to the category of martial arts dances.

This song is a symbol of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, with extraordinary momentum.

And the King Qin in this song is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and King Qin was his title before he ascended the throne.

After hearing the introduction, the audience was really excited!

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has done a lot of good things to benefit the people of Tang Dynasty, so that the people have food and clothing, and there are no displaced hungry people.

For a huge country, this is not easy.

Therefore, for Li Shimin, the common people recognize and admire him very much.

This group of contestants actually wanted to sing a song praising King Qin, the audience was of course happy!

"Mist Grass! This group of contestants will definitely make it to the finals, let's go for their song selection!"

"Yes, who in the Three Realms doesn't know that Qin Hao and King Tang are good brothers, if not, how could King Tang come to be a mentor!"

"If you want to win in the competition, you must choose the songs carefully. Looking at this group of contestants, you must choose the right songs!"

"Before singing, I have already won in terms of momentum and popularity!"

At this time, the music sounded, and the contestants changed their formations and began to perform.

While they were singing, someone posted a few introductory texts on the barrage.

"The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array" is "The Dance of the King of Qin Breaking the Array", also known as "The Dance of Seven Virtues". It is a famous song and dance in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally a military song on the battlefield.

In 620 AD, Qin Wang Li Shimin defeated the rebel Liu Wuzhou and consolidated the newly established Tang regime.

Therefore, his soldiers filled in new lyrics with old songs, and sang a song of praise for Li Shimin: "Shoulu Ciyuan --- the head, the prime minister will punish the rebels. The salty song "Broken Array Music" is for the people of Taiping."

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he personally compiled this piece of music into a dance, and then processed and organized it by court artists to form a huge and magnificent large-scale music and dance.

The tone of Kucha has been mixed into the original tune, which is tactful and pleasant, high-spirited and very appealing.

At the same time, there is a large palace band accompaniment, the big drum is loud, and the sound can be heard for hundreds of miles. It is powerful and moving.

This song and dance made all the officials excited and excited.

When performing this dance, even foreign guests couldn't help dancing along.The symbol of the heyday of the Chinese nation is indeed extraordinary.

"The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array" was very famous at that time, and even spread to foreign countries.

After Master Xuanzang arrived in India, when the King of India Jieri visited him, he asked about this song:

"The teacher came from Zhi 0-0. The disciples heard that there is a song of the King of Qin breaking the formation, singing and dancing. It is unknown who the King of Qin is. What merits and virtues do you have to praise this."

Later, the Japanese envoy Awata Masato brought this song back to Japan.

A few years later, Li Shimin personally designed "The Picture of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle of Music and Dance", according to the picture:

The left side of the dance team is round, and the right side is square; the front imitates a chariot, and the team behind it is spread out like a dustpan with two wings stretched out, forming a fighting posture.

Taizong asked Lu Cai to teach 120 eight musicians according to the picture, and they often practiced wearing armor and holding halberds.This song is the theme song of this dance.

In the first year after Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne—the third day of the first lunar month in the first year of Zhenguan, he hosted a banquet for his ministers and played "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array".

In the early years of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Wei Zheng and others to compose 7 additional lyrics, and Lu Cai cooperated with the rhythm to compose the song, which was designated as "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array".In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin made the "Broken Array Dance Picture" by himself, and processed the dance: left circle, right, first deviation, rear Wu, Yu Li, goose Guan, Ji Zhang, wing Shu, staggered flexion and extension, head and tail back and forth, Back and forth stabbing, in the shape of a battle formation.Wufan changes three times, and each changes into four formations, with a total of twelve formations, corresponding to the song festival.Lu Caiyi was ordered to teach 120 musicians to perform in armor, hold halberds, and hold banners, and named it "Dance of Seven Virtues".

Officials of the third rank and above and "barbarian chiefs" are played outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Beat the big drum, the sound shakes hundreds of miles, and the mountains and rivers are majestic.

Later, 2000 horsemen were used to lead the team into the arena, which was particularly spectacular.

However, the stage of Datang Cinema is limited, so of course it cannot be performed by thousands of people.

Just use a square team to compete.

But the scale of the soundtrack camp is very large, with hundreds of people.

These people stood in the corner of the theater, beating the thundering drums to boost their prestige.

When the deafening drums sounded, everyone in the theater felt their ears were about to burst.

They couldn't help singing and dancing with the square team.

"This kind of game is not allowed!"

Saint Nuwa felt that it was inappropriate, because the scene where everyone sang and danced together affected the performance of the contestants.

At least the instructors couldn't hear their singing clearly, and it was difficult to make a choice.

This is also very unfair to the players.

The audience realized that their singing and dancing were causing trouble to the contestants, so they all sat back quietly in their seats.

This competition has abruptly turned into a concert feeling!

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Taibai Jinxing also shouted: "This can't work, I can't even hear the mess!"

Guanshiyin Bodhisattva also spoke: "You guys should perform again, the scene just now was too chaotic, I couldn't hear it at all, and I couldn't make a decision!"

In this way, the performance of "The Song of the King of Qin" started again.

After a shocking performance, the emotional performance brought the audience to the extreme.

The screaming and majestic performance finally came to an end, and the audience also let out a sigh of relief: "Mist grass, look quickly, they are all soaked!"

"The performance was so good that it infected the audience!"

It turned out that these contestants performed too hard, and all of them were sweating profusely.

What a perfect show!

(To be continued)

1055 Carefully arranged

It wasn't until the end of the performance that the audience was full of praise that Tang Wang Li Shimin put his heart in his stomach.

That's right, this group of contestants was arranged by him. From the song selection to their costumes, Li Shimin designed them for them after careful consideration alone.

Including the formation change during the performance, as well as the rehearsal of the action, he did it himself!

Later, the performances of these few people were not enough, and the momentum was much worse. Therefore, the king of Tang selected a large number of good drummers from among the court musicians.

During the performance of the contestants, the cheering of the drummer is added, which makes the effect of the scene much better.

Although these people are obviously not professional singers, their singing voices have many flaws.

However, the shock brought by this song can completely cover up those flaws.

Everyone has to admit, this is a very perfect song!

While the audience was watching the performance, Tang Wang Li Shimin was the first to turn around. This is his carefully arranged repertoire. Can he not turn around!

Then, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva turned around for the second time, and at the last moment, Saint Nuwa and Taibai Jinxing turned around at the same time.

Another song in which all four mentors turn around!

In stark contrast to Xiaoqian's performance just now, this time it is even more confirmed that during the competition, song selection is very important.

Inexplicably, I want to sing and dance along, mobilize everyone's emotions, this is the highest singing level!

"Thank you to all the mentors for your great love for "The Song of the King of Qin". Since the four mentors have turned around, this group of contestants, it's time for you to reverse the election again."

The host came to the stage, smiled and said to the leading man, "Let me introduce myself to everyone first!"

The man nodded, took the microphone majestically, and said to the audience: "Hi everyone, my name is Liu Dagou!"

"Mist Grass! What Li Dagou?"

When the audience heard his introduction, they were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room were overjoyed, and the bullet screens were posted endlessly.

"Mr. Li Dagou, do you have any younger brothers and sisters, and what are their names?"

"Li Ergou, Li Sangou, Li Sigou?"

"That girl also has such a name?"

"It's so funny!"

Li Dagou on the stage didn't care, perhaps because his name had brought too many chuckles, and he was used to it.

"My name is Li Dagou, and behind me are all the brothers who rushed to kill together!"

He introduced the names of these players with this, and then said: "We are all brothers who followed King Tang in the early years and charged on the battlefield. This time, we are ordered to participate in the competition. I hope we can achieve excellent results!"

Before his words fell, the audience applauded spontaneously.

Then comes the most exciting part, which is the reverse election.

Although this song was created by Tang Wang himself, there is no requirement to join his team.

After all, Tang Wang's appeal is the weakest among the four mentors, whether it is the sage Nuwa, the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva, or the heavenly Taibaijinxing.

The strength and appeal of these mentors are much stronger than him.

Li Dagou discussed with the brothers behind him, and finally made a decision.

When he was about to say the chosen answer, the Buddha's light behind Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva grew stronger, and then the three characters "Buddha's light team" floated up. The corners of her lips slightly curled up, and she said kindly:

""The Song of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle" expresses the arduous process of the King of Qin at that time, that is, the King of Tang at this time, winning the camp. Just like the Buddha at the beginning, he also experienced many hardships before he obtained the true meaning of life. So, join the Foguang team!"

"You can't join your team just because the Buddha has gone through hardships. According to you, the Jade Emperor of Heaven has gone through countless hardships to become the supreme in the world. Isn't it more deserving of this group of players? Come on, brothers , join the embrace of heaven!"

Taibai Jinxing refused to lose to the Buddha light emitted by Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, as if no one could know it.

He, who has always been victorious, couldn't help but also faint floating clouds appeared above his head, and there was a purple shadow behind him.

The audience felt that this performance was really worthwhile. Not only could they enjoy the singing and dancing competition, but they could also see the fighting between heaven and Buddhism.

"Come on, let's fight more fiercely!"

"If they fight, who will be stronger?"

A group of guys who watched the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles kept telling jokes on the barrage.

There has been no fight for a long time, and they all feel lonely.

In addition, the part where the two mentors competed for the contestants was very interesting. It was really not easy for the high-ranking gods to let go of their usual airs and not care about the false appearance of high-end atmosphere.

Behind Taibai Jinxing, four huge gold characters suddenly appeared: "Embrace of Heaven."

As if doing it on purpose, Taibai Jinxing made these four big characters beat non-stop, like a beating musical note.

"Brothers, you should believe in the strength of Tianting, and you should believe even more in the vision of the poor. At the end of the competition, there will be votes from the audience. Do you think Tianting has more supporters, or Buddhism?"

Unexpectedly, he challenged Buddhism openly, and instead of getting smaller, the contradiction became bigger and bigger.

If this group of players chooses one of them, will the other be very uncomfortable, jealous, or even resentful?

Before the audience had time to think too much, Saint Nuwa spoke with a smile.

"I want to know what is your original intention for participating in the competition."

The nuwa saint is still ordinary, except for the exquisite makeup, there is no Buddha's light, and there is no cloud.

If you don't know, just think it's the girl next door.

With a sweet smile on her delicate face and blinking bright eyes, she waited for the answer from the group of contestants on the stage.

"We just want to present the most heroic and courageous side of King Tang on the battlefield, so that the common people will always remember that King Tang is a wise king! He is a wise king who has paid blood and sweat for the Great Tang!"

The entire Tang Dynasty, including several small countries around, or even smaller tribes, there is no one who does not admire the Tang King.

This is also the reason why this song can arouse the excitement of the audience.

Everyone can sing and can't help humming along, which speaks volumes!

Everyone likes to hear compliments, and Li Shimin is no exception. Of course, this is not considered a compliment.

It's just the most simple aspirations of the common people.
