In addition, can only lacquer be used?Can it be replaced by something else, what effect will it have, and what will happen if it is not used?

In terms of wood, catalpa is natural and common, what about other woods?Can paulownia fir work?Will both the top and bottom boards be of the same wood?What if two different woods are combined?With the emptiness of the tung tree combined with the reality of the catalpa, in theory, is it possible to match the rigidity and softness?

The wood is different, and the structure of the groove belly when making the piano also needs to be changed. Some woods have the characteristics of firmness and heavy sound, while others are crisp and smooth. What kind of wood is suitable for the top panel and what kind of wood is suitable for the bottom plate , What kind of wood is matched with what kind of groove belly structure will make it soundless and heavier, all of which need to be experimentally studied one by one.

On the basis of not requiring good looks and long-term durability, if you simply look at which combination is better for the sound of the piano, the speed is still relatively fast. Even so, it is not enough to run in a year.

In the first year, Ji Mo explained his theories to the piano master, and at the same time explained some problems in the production of the piano, hoping to get answers.If he has anything better than these ancients, it is that he has understood a little bit in his studies since he was a child, he can ask questions when he doesn’t understand, he can raise his hand to speak in class, and he can also ask the teacher for answers after class. , If it doesn’t work, you can still attend remedial classes outside.

A variety of resources, all-round counseling, you will think in the process of learning, thinking will keep problems, and then it is the process of solving problems.

This makes him more proactive in learning, not to say that he takes the initiative to do it, but his thoughts follow suit. Even if it is a skill that he doesn't like so much, he will take it seriously and try to be "not partial to subjects". Exam-oriented education The talents cultivated under it understand very well that you may not like this course, and you may not know what it will be useful after you learn it, but without this stepping stone, you will not be able to improve your grades, and you will not be able to do many things you like in the future.

Choosing, and being chosen, under this mechanism, constantly improving all aspects of oneself will only have benefits and not harm.

Of course, there is no way to be miscellaneous or not.

After getting the system, he had to learn one skill at a time, one world at a time. Ji Mo was not used to it, but at first he persisted with the hope of going home. Later, he realized the benefits of such learning and focused on A skill, regardless of time, no worries about wastage, no need to worry about reviewing exams, big or small, just focus on the process, focus on the knowledge points that increase during the process, and at the end, regardless of the score of the test, it will be a matter of course smooth.

It is said that there is pressure to be motivated, but after reducing the pressure, Ji Mo found that he is more able to learn and love a line, such as skills, and when he is not good at it, he has no way to start. No matter how he looks at it, he looks like he wants to touch a hedgehog. It's difficult, but after getting used to it, the little hedgehog can also be raised smoothly, letting it show its belly and let it be stroked.

I have come here from one world to another, not to mention the hardships in the learning process, but I can also feel the fun in it.

As far as the qin is concerned, the people who make the qin are all uneducated people. It is not an exaggeration to say that this culture is arty. Looking at the flowers, I only make the flowers look like fairy flowers in the sky, making them more and more untainted by the world.

But in fact, just like businessmen who theoretically cannot wear silk and satin have never worn less, those scholars are not all gentlemanly, like shaving, and most of them are stinky and smelly, but these, They are not seen by them.

The feeling of being longed for and entrusted is placed on the piano, which adds the simplicity and restraint of the color of the piano. Whether it is shape or tone, you can feel the beauty of harmony between heaven, earth and man, the beauty of truth and goodness.

When making a guqin, it seems that through this technique, one can think of the predecessors, what the person who first made the guqin was thinking, he is a gentleman, but thinking of the imaginary bandit gentleman, he finally made such a piano .

Three feet six inches six, the year is the sky, the sun and the moon are connected, the voice of the piano is spoken, it is talking with nature, it is talking with the heart, after every turning arc, what considerations are made, and the five strings are set Afterwards, did you think about the theory of the Five Elements, and when adding civil and military strings, which historical figure did you think of?

The history is similar, the characters are similar, and the ancient times are different. What makes people feel familiar is the convergence of the long-standing civilization, such as hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, which always makes people feel paradoxical and unable to give up.

The things that condense civilization can be words, languages, poems and songs, and also qin, which is the hard work of generations of qin makers.

The head, neck, shoulders, waist, tail, and feet are not only round and square in the world, but also imitate the phoenix singing in the nine heavens, and they also contain the five virtues of a gentleman. From a piano, there are many things that can be seen. , In this regard, Master Qin couldn't say more, but told Ji Mo the story of Fengqi Wutong.

That is the legend of the first qin. A phoenix fell on a tree, and the phoenix blew away. The name of the tree was Wutong.

Speaking of these, Qin Master seems to have returned to his childhood, when he heard these stories for the first time, the story behind each famous piano, and the story of every famous piano made by the piano master. He has been listening to these stories since he was a child. Those who have grown up, but the younger generation, rarely like to listen to it, or forget it once they hear it, that is, the sound of the piano.

The brilliance of the ancestors is brilliant in his eyes. In the eyes of these people, they are not even qualified to be included in the genealogy.

"People, don't forget our roots. My qin family was born as a qin maker. It is justified to make qin for generations, but these people are ashamed to mention it. Yes, they should be ashamed to mention it. The qin made today , I don’t know how much I can get from my ancestors.”

The piano master can't help but sigh when he talks about this. History has changed, and the piano-making used to be considered glorious, but now, it is just a craftsman.

"It's a bit inappropriate for Master Qin to say that." Ji Mo disagreed with such a statement. Who can say that modern times must lag behind ancient times?Are people today not as good as people in ancient times?Obviously, civilization has developed to the present, not to mention the rapid changes in many aspects, at least it is different from the beginning, and it has developed in a good way. From drinking blood to slash-and-burn farming, isn't this long development process a success?

"The ancients naturally had their excellence. The qin at that time was so glorious in the legend that it seemed insurmountable. However, the qin made by people today must not have something worthy of recognition? Such complicated craftsmanship, so many Can the ancients find the wood?"

Ji Mo said with certainty that after he showed his sincerity, the qin master did not hide the source of the raw materials, and told him, among other things, that the lacquer was not produced locally and needed to be paid for. Merchants specially transport it, and silk and individual wood are not owned locally, but are found from other places. Such a long journey often costs several times.

It seems that the time spent on making the piano has earned a lot of money. In fact, the cost of these raw materials is not considered rich. Otherwise, there will be many people who are willing to learn this craft among the descendants of the piano master.

Spending time on learning may not be able to learn the results, and the income afterwards will not be as rich as others, so why bother to stick to it?

Times have changed, and today's imperial court doesn't value craftsmen, how much can a violin maker be better than other craftsmen?

Even so, the chain of contempt still exists. It is related to the art of a gentleman. The production skills of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone series can be regarded as the top ones. They are also craftsmen, but these craftsmen naturally despise those ordinary carpenters, and again there are stonemasons Wait, the more heavy and dirty the more degrading, but the blacksmith who makes swords is the bottom, so the hierarchy is decreasing, only those who have nothing to do with culture and scholars can stand at the front.

In the eyes of those scholars, craftsmen are all craftsmen, and there will be no second title.

"When we make pianos, what we need to learn is the style of our predecessors, which is ancient and sincere. What we need to change is the tedious process, which is simple and easy to pass on. What we need to improve is our generation's selfishness. It is innovative and timeless. How can we know what we make today? Can't the qin be handed down through the ages?"

Ji Mo is very confident in this aspect. This is his goal. If there are too many, he dare not say. It is not a problem for a piano to be handed down for 50 years. If there is something new and special, it may be handed down for a longer time.

The value of the qin is there. If it is a famous qin, it is not impossible for it to be passed down like a family heirloom. What we need to do now is to accumulate before becoming famous, so that one day people will not think that the name of the qin is not worthy of the name.

In ancient times, no matter what black or red was, it was also red. A bad reputation once was enough to push people out of this circle, and it would be difficult to get in next time.

Ji Mo tried his best to make friends with Shopkeeper Sun and gain the approval of Master Qin. On the one hand, he wanted to learn more. Fame, Qin's reputation will do.

In order to make a famous piano praised by everyone, Ji Mo also racked his brains, what kind of improved craftsmanship can be a blockbuster, and what kind of piano sound can be endless.

There was a phoenix voice in ancient times, but today... Ji Mo thinks that it is necessary for a piano to have a nice name, but the piano must also be strong enough to be worthy of the beauty of the name.

Qin master rarely sees people with such ambitions as Ji Mo. The world is like this, but no matter how much he looks like a gentleman, his status as a craftsman is always underestimated. But they also know that they can't force it, and it is more necessary to support their families. They will only know this skill for a lifetime, so what can they do?

They can't go any further, and Ji Mo, who is obviously young and has more choices, is so firm and pious, which makes people puzzled and at the same time feel ashamed. Mo was even better. He would discuss some things that I didn't want to talk about before, and I also accepted his point of view. I started experiments with him, and it took me eight years.
