When did Chinese music start? This problem is quite difficult to determine, according to ancient texts, when Fuxi Nuwa was born, there were already inventions of "qin", "se" and "箫". At this time, the "qin" is the predecessor of the "guqin" that is now spoken of. There are countless stories about the poems written around the guqin, including the poem "Lady of the Guqin, Youzhi of the Qinser". There is a story that "Bo Ya is good at drums and pianos, Zhong Zi is good at listening, Zi Period is dead, Bo Ya breaks the strings, and never returns to the drum and piano for life", which shows that the sound of the piano is the voice of the heart, and the guqin occupies a very high position in Chinese music. The origin of "kite" is "Ser", and it has the same magic as "qin". Because it was popular in Qin at the time of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was called "Qin Zheng" in history. The sound of "kite" is gorgeous and beautiful, bright and lyrical, singing strongly, and is good at expressing the artistic conception of clouds and flowing water. Today we will "qin" and "zither" juxtaposed, presented in front of your eyes, I hope you can appreciate the cultural origin and heavy artistic heritage of the broad spirit of the Chinese nation in the sound of the melodious piano. Here we share the appreciation of the music master Boya's musical work Guzheng "Mountain Flowing Water".
Boya, later rumored to be Yu Shi,rui character Boya, spring and autumn Warring States period Chu State Ying (yǐng) duren, although Chu people, but served as a doctor in the Jin Dynasty, and proficient in piano art.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a man named Boya who studied guqin with Mr. Chenglian. He mastered various playing techniques, but the teacher felt that when he played, he often did not understand deeply, simply played the notes, less charm, and could not resonate with the appreciator. The teacher wanted to train him to be a real artist, and one day, Mr. Cheng Lian said to Boya, "My teacher Fang Zichun, who lives in the East China Sea, can teach methods to cultivate people's interests. I will take you and let him give you a lecture, which can greatly improve your artistic level. So the two masters and apprentices prepared dry food and set off on a boat. After arriving at Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea, Mr. Cheng Lian said to Boya, "You stay here to practice the piano, and I will go to find Master." "Say it, and shake the boat away."
After ten days, Mr. Cheng Lian had not returned. Bo Ya waited anxiously on the island, and every day after tuning the piano, he looked around. He faced the vast sea and listened to the sound of the surging waves. Looking at the mountains and forests, lush and unpredictable, from time to time there is the sound of birds chirping and flying. These scenes, each with its own interesting and peculiar sound, made him feel relaxed and happy, and he felt that his interest was much nobler. Bo Ya had a creative passion and wanted to compose his feelings into music, so he set up the piano, poured his passion into the strings, and composed a song "Mountain Flowing Water" in one go. Not long after, Mr. Cheng Lian rocked the boat and returned, listened to his heartfelt performance, and said happily: "Now that you are the best organist in the world, you can go back!" Bo Ya suddenly realized that this bird language was the best teacher. Since then, Bo Ya has continuously accumulated life and artistic experience, and finally became a master of the world's piano.
The story is breathtaking and intriguing. The ancients said, "A soldier dies for a confidant." "Bo Ya is a kind of true confidant realm, which is also the charm of its thousands of years of widespread circulation."
Life is short, it is difficult to find a voice; the clouds are thousands of miles, and the good stories are thousands of years. The foundation of innocent friendship is understanding. "Boya Absolute String" is an age-old model for making friends, which has been handed down to this day and gives people timeless inspiration. It is this story that establishes the standard of noble interpersonal relations and friendship of the Chinese nation, and it is well deserved to say that it is a treasure of oriental culture!
Spring and Autumn Warring States period musician Boya Guzheng "Alpine Flowing Water" appreciation
Boya's "Mountain Flowing Water" is one of the top ten ancient chinese songs in China, guzheng song. It was originally only one song. To the Tang, it is divided into two songs, not divided into paragraphs, to the Song, divided into four sections of the mountain, and eight sections of flowing water. It makes full use of fingerings such as "overtone, roll, whisk, nickname, note, up, down", further expressing the surging water in the flowing water, making the image of the whole song vivid and magnificent.
The fingering operation of "Alpine Flowing Water" mainly depicts the various dynamics of flowing water through the fingerings of "overtone, whisk, nickname, note, roll, up, down" and so on, expressing the meaning of the intention of flowing water and the wisdom of enjoying water. The whole piece contains a total of ten paragraphs, each of which has its own feelings to express, and the following is a simple analysis of the mood expressed by each paragraph: Introduction part: Commonly known as the first paragraph. The melody constantly jumps and changes the sound area in a wide range, just like the top of the mountain, the feeling of drifting and uncertain, clouds and mist, the subtle shift of fingers and the real tone, the melody appears from time to time. Paragraphs 2-3: The rhythm is lively, the overtones are clear, the mind is quiet, and the pleasure is born. It's like "the cold current of the shadows, the cold of the shadows; the cold and the cold, the thin stream of pine roots." "Paragraphs 4-5: The melody is as light as a song, like a cloud flowing water, and it is leisurely. Stage 6: The melody fluctuates and the ups and downs increase dramatically. Then the continuous "rolling, slow whispering" as the sound of running water, and above it played a descending tone, the two cleverly combined, like a solo boat crossing the Wuxia Gorge, thrilling, dazzling, this body in the rapids canyon, really like "the extreme boiling and surging view, with the image of the dragon roaring." Stage 7: The tone momentum weakens, and the overtones of the ring-shaped overtones in the pitch area are raised first, just like a light boat has passed through the rapids, and the mood of swimming in pinghu lake is seen alone. Paragraphs 8-9: These two sections belong to the "resurrection" part of the structure of the guqin song, the melody adds new musical material, the scene of the previous song is reproduced after the change, the music is full of enthusiasm, the sound of flowing water is sounded again, full of passion, the hymn-like melody is triggered by low upwards, the slightly faster and more powerful piano sound is evocative, and at the end of paragraph 9, the seed material in paragraph 4 appears again, and finally ends on the palace tone.
At first, I listened to the sound range constantly jumping, feeling ethereal, and sometimes the heavy bass appeared from time to time, as if I saw an elder with long beard and white hair stroking a high bun between the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, and the long hair and sound behind the bun fluttered with the wind. The sky and the earth are covered with fog, facing the majestic Mount Tai and the rolling river, majestic and solemn, rolling water, wide and vast, like an endless sea. It was as if there was only one person between heaven and earth.
Then, the feeling jumped out of the music of the previous paragraph, but the sound became clear, and it began to be lively and clear, giving people a pleasant mood, as if the whole person had flown. Then there was a small string of crisp piano sounds. It was as if spring water flowed through a stream.
Then the sound of the piano became soothing, different from the previous scene. It is as if you are standing on your side with the stream, quietly admiring this slow stream, feeling very quiet and at ease. It is as if I am one with this nature.
Suddenly, the tune became exciting, and the tone rose and fell rapidly, feeling very thrilling. At this moment, I seem to see the babbling water tilting at the waterfall at once, and the river suddenly boiling. The constantly scraping water did not leave a gap, and the clear stream suddenly rushed and jumped up, flowing down from the cliffs of ten thousand feet high, as if he was already between the waterfalls, and the magnificence was close at hand.
After a series of high notes, the river was no longer so turbulent, as if it had reached the forest stream again. Back to soothing and relaxing. All was calm again. But it's still endlessly memorable.
Soon, the tone continued to rise again, as if a larger waterfall had come again.
The excitement came out again, the monstrous sound of the rush rose again, the ups and downs, for a long time, and the initial shock came to my eyes for a long time.
At the end, the more moving the emotion, the calmer the heart is restored, but it is still between the mountains and the flowing waters. Can't help yourself...
This song is soft and rigid, quiet and urgent, giving people a comfortable, stable feeling like an isolated wonderland, not mixed with any worries and sorrows. "The tone of this song is soothing, like a splash of water, a mountain flowing water, and a harmonious rhythm, as if you are immersed in the scene.
In ancient times, there was a story of Bo Ya wrestling the piano to Xie Zhiyin, which was passed down as a good story throughout the ages. The musical talent Boya likes to play a song "Mountain Flowing Water", but no one can hear the feelings and meaning of this song, he plays the piano on the mountain, and the song is high and widowed. Finally, one day, a woodcutter who cut wood passed by and understood his "Mountain Flowing Water", and this person was Zhong Zi period. Bo Ya's confidant was Zhong Zi Period, and they made an appointment to meet two years later, but Zhong Zi Period did not show up two years later. Bo Ya inquired from many sources to know that the original Zhong Zi period had died of illness, it was impossible to go to his agreement again, Bo Ya was grief-stricken, he knew that Zi Period was the only person who could understand his music, and now that Zi Period was dead, no one would understand his music anymore, so he dropped his beloved piano at the grave of Zi Period, which also showed his respect and regret for Zhiyin. This is the story of "Bo Ya Wrestling Qin Xie Zhiyin", Bo Ya is heartbroken and nostalgic for the sub-period, and people use this to lament that zhiyin is difficult to find.
A song "Mountain Flowing Water" can give people the opportunity to temporarily forget the complexities and temptations, pressures and helplessness of the world in the hustle and bustle of the city, and truly feel the cultivation realm of the distant era that is otherworldly, calm and natural, and the perfect integration of heart and nature, this cultivation realm is not deliberately followed by people, but the charm of the music itself makes it have that vitality, making people feel and intoxicated. When you listen to this song in the dark night and look up at the starry sky, you can't help but sigh how small a grain of dust we are in the universe, ignorant and ignorant in the face of human civilization, therefore, treat the external objects of life with a peaceful attitude, and be close to nature is the harmonious realm we should pursue.
Music thus becomes the best symbol of time. Classical Chinese philosophy, especially classical music philosophy, that is, Le Daozheng, is because of this, and has a deep understanding of time. In this regard, Classical Chinese philosophy, especially classical music philosophy, that is, the Tao of Music, has long had a profound understanding, and modern Western philosophy and science have also begun to pay great attention to it.
Chinese classical music, its mysterious charm can also remind us of the ancient legend, let us feel a transcendent ideological realm, feel the shocking power of national culture.
