Zhu Quan (1378-1448), the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ming emperor, was the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, and Zhu Quan, who was only 13 years old, was made the King of Ning, with 80,000 armored soldiers and 6,000 chariots, and belonged to Duoyan Sanwei Xiao Yong yong good at war, together with Zhu Zhu, the king of Qin, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to defend the northern territory of Daming.
King Zhu Quan of Ning
With the popularity of the TV series "Mountains and Rivers and Bright Moon", the enmity and hatred between the kings of the major clans and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Yunwen in the early Ming Dynasty have once again become a hot topic, but today we want to talk about Zhu Quan's power and encounters, but to introduce this artistic youth who has been dusted by history, and actually formed an indissoluble relationship with the "traveler" detector in the United States.
In 1977, the United States successively launched the Voyager I and II probes, which have been flying for 44 years and are the farthest man-made spacecraft in human history. In addition to visiting the planets of the solar system, the Voyager probe carried a gilded record from Earth. It records the recording of greetings and various kinds of music in 55 human languages, which the Earth civilization tries to get in touch with the alien civilization.
Voyager One and Gold Records
There are 27 pieces of music from all over the world on this record, the only one from China is the traditional song "Flowing Water". The performer is the famous guqin player Guan Pinghu, who uses the guqin known as the "Flying Waterfall Lianzhu Qin", and its producer is Zhu Quan, the King of Ning.
Flying waterfalls and beads
In 1402, the Four-Year Battle of Jingnan finally ended with the victory of Zhu Di, the King of Yan. After the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di did not share the world with Zhu Quan, the King of Ning, according to the original agreement, but moved Zhu Quan to Nanchang, Jiangxi.
At the beginning of the Jing Dynasty, Zhu Di promised Zhu Quan to divide the world after the fact
Zhu Quan, who had been released from the pigeon, knew that the world at this time belonged to Zhu Di, and he could only protect himself as the king of the domain, so he indulged in the mountains and rivers of Nanchang, Taoguang cultivated obscurity, Tuo Zhi Chongju, and interacted with literati and scholars, opera, entertainment, writing, interpretation, etc.
During the period of the domain, Zhu Quan personally went up the mountain, cut ancient wood, and made a guqin, called "flying waterfall and beaded qin". This piano, the surface of the piano is coated with a large lacquer, under the lacquer is cinnabar red lacquer, and then under the pure gold grinding, to make a primer, which is scattered with fine "plum blossom breaks". Later generations praised its sound quality as "its sound is sonorous", "its sound is cold", "its sound is Qingyue", and is known as "the first piano of the Ming Dynasty".
In 1977, NASA planned to launch the "Voyager" series of probes into outer space, the probe will carry a gilded record, the total length of the record is 120 minutes, of which 30 minutes introduce the earth, life, human beings and other information, the remaining 90 minutes are all music, intended to use the most abstract artistic voice to exchange information with life in outer space. When NASA officials called Zhou Wenzhong, a professor at Columbia University, asked him to recommend a Chinese piece of music. Zhou Wenzhong replied without hesitation: "Flowing Water! It is a meditation song that resonates with the universe of human consciousness and is played on the guqin, an instrument that existed thousands of years before the birth of Jesus. Since the time of Confucius, the song "Flowing Water" has been an integral part of Chinese culture. This piece of music is enough to represent China. ”
Mr. Guan Pinghu's performance of "Flowing Water" lasted 7 minutes and 37 seconds, which was the longest and earliest piece of music on the record to be selected.
Mr. Guan Pinghu, who is known as the contemporary Qinsheng
At present, the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes, still on the way to the exolars, 23 billion kilometers away from the earth, perhaps one day, they will be discovered by the alien civilization, I don't know if the local alien civilization will perceive the ups and downs of the Life of Ning Wang Zhu Quan and Qin Shengguan Pinghu when listening to songs from humans!
The Si people have passed away, and the sword and light sword shadow of 600 years ago has now turned into the dust of history, but art is eternal, whether it is Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, or Guan Pinghu, if there is knowledge under the spring, it should also be comforted.
Since March, the epidemic has suddenly emerged, the author has gone out again, and the article has been broken for a long time. I hope that everyone will take care of themselves and share the prosperity of the world.
