Singing
preface
I first went to Gao Yique in the fifth grade of primary school, because the school is very close to Gao Yique, in one afternoon the teacher took us children to Gao Yique sketching, the reason is that when I was in elementary school, our school's music class and art class were a whole afternoon class time, and it was the whole school from the first to the sixth grade that was such a schedule, compared to the current children think I think it is very luxurious, so we have enough time to go to the school to sketch, when we first arrived at GaoYique, we still need fifty cent tickets. When I went in, I felt nothing, but a few stone pillars, a few stone beasts, and a row of stone tablets. Children may not have any natural feelings for these things, but we just think it's fun to draw outside, so we remember it very clearly. Now think about the name "Stone Horse" of the village production team where Gao Yique is located, it may be from these stone beasts, but these divine beasts are not "horses". As the years flew by, Gao Yique once again attracted my attention after I was twenty-three years old, and we had a habit of not paying too much attention to people or things that were close and familiar to us, even if they were important to outsiders.
Gao Yique
Han Que is a unique building in ancient China, Han Dynasty palaces, ancestral temples and mausoleums in front of a kind of decorative architecture that expresses dignity, each que is composed of the main que and the sub-que, generally has three parts of the que tomb, the que body, the que top, which is not only an ancient architectural art, but also a special stone carving treasure, is an important entity for the study of history and culture, architecture, sculpture and art at that time. During the Han Dynasty, officials with an annual salary of more than 2,000 stones were erected in front of the tomb, which was a symbol of status and status. Therefore, the Han Que culture is an important part of the two Han cultures.
Gao Yi Que in Ya'an was built in the fourteenth year of the Han XianDi Jian'an (209 AD) as the most well-preserved and most exquisitely sculpted precious cultural relics and monuments in China's Han Que, with considerable historical and cultural value, the commemoration of Gao Yi Zi Guanfang, once served as yizhou Taishou and other positions, because of its remarkable political achievements, after his death, the Han Emperor built the que to show his merits. On the square pillar of the Que is also engraved the twenty-four Han Li "Han Gu Yi Prefecture Tai Shou Yin Ping Du Wei Wu Yang Ling BeiFu Cheng Ju Xiao Lian Gao Jun Zi Guan Fang" Twenty-four Han Li. It shows that gao Yi's official voice here at that time was very good.
The first two stone beasts in the que are one male and one male, called "Tianlu" and "Ward off evil spirits", like lions instead of lions, like tigers instead of tigers, with wings on their shoulders, heads held high, mouths open, tongues, mighty and majestic, and are fine stone carvings of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In addition to the very complete preservation of Gao Yique's own architecture, the most admirable thing is the vivid circular reliefs on the second floor of the Que, which represent the super high artistic level of Han Dynasty stone carvings, which are rare art treasures, and the second layer of carvings includes "Zhang Liangshi Qin Emperor", "Gao Zu Chopping Snake", "Shi Kuang Drum Qin", "Ji Gui za sword", "Yellow Emperor's relics of Xuan Zhu", "Nine-tailed Fox and Three-legged Bird" and other historical and mythological stories, and the most eye-catching thing is the "Shi Kuang Fuqin" circular relief. This work depicts Shi Kuang fuqin, the geese swooping down, and one person hiding his face and crying. The story of Shi Kuang Fuqin comes from the original text of "Han Feizi Ten Passes" as follows:
What is a good sound? In the past, The Duke of Wei Ling promoted him to the top of pushui, taxed the cart and released the horse, and set up a house to stay. The night is divided, and the one who hears the drums says it. Others ask left and right, and report everything they hear. He summoned the master to tell him, "Whoever has a new drum makes a man ask questions and tells him everything he hears." It resembles a ghost, and the Son writes it for me to hear. Shi Juan said, "No." It was written for sitting and playing the violin. Shi Juanming Daily said: "If you have not learned it, please learn it again." Linggong said, "No." "Because of the return to stay overnight. Tomorrow and practice, then go to the promotion. 30 Jinping Gongchen for Shi Yi's platform. Drunk, spirits rise". Gong Yue: "There is a new voice, please show it." Ping Gong: "Goodness." "He summons the teacher to sit next to the teacher and help the drum." Before it was over, Shi Kuang stopped and said, "The voice of this subjugated country must not be fulfilled." Ping Gong said, "This way out?" Shi Kuang said, "What this Shi Yan has done is also the same as that of Shi Yan." And the King of Wu cut the silk, Shi Yandong went, and as for Pushui, he threw himself. Therefore he who hears this will be above the water. Whoever hears this first will have his kingdom cut down and will not succeed. Ping Gong said: "Those who are favored by the widow, the sound is also, and the son is made to do it." Shi Juan encouraged him to investigate. Ping Gong asked Shi Kuangyue, "What is this so-called sound?" Shi Kuang said, "This so-called Qing Shang ye." Gong Yue: "Qing Shang Gu is the saddest?" Shi Kuang said, "It's not as good as Qingzheng." Gong Yue: "Qingzheng can be obtained and smelled?" Shi Kuangyue: "No." The ancients who listened to the signs were all kings of virtue and righteousness. Imami Junde is thin, not enough to listen. Ping Gong said: "Those who are good for the widow, the sound is also willing to listen to it." "The teacher had no choice but to help the piano and drum. One play, there are Xuan He two eight, the road south, gathered in the Lang Men's Gate; play it again, and listed. Three plays, the neck is extended and the song is sounded, the wings are stretched and danced, and the sound of the palace business in the sound is heard in the sky. Ping Gongda said that everyone who sat was happy. Ping Gong raised himself as a teacher Kuangshou, sat back and asked, "Yin Mo is sad about Qing Zhenghu?" Shi Kuangyue: "It's not as good as clearing the corner." Ping Gong said: "Can you get the clear horn and smell it?" Shi Kuangyue: "No." In the past, the Yellow Emperor and the ghost god were on the top of Mount Tai, driving the elephant car and the six dragons, Bi Fang and the gong, the clam you in front, the wind bo into the sweep, the rain master sprinkling the road, the tiger and the wolf in front, the ghost god in the back, the snake on the ground, the phoenix emperor covered, the great he ghost god, as a clear horn. Imami Junde is thin, not enough to listen to. Listen to it, and you will be afraid of defeat. Ping Gong said: "The widow is old, and the good one is also willing to listen." The teacher had no choice but to drum up. In one song, there are clouds from the northwest; and when it is played again, the wind arrives, the heavy rain follows, the curtain is cracked, the beans are broken, and the corridor tiles are broken. The seaters scattered, and Pinggong fell between the corridors in fear. The Jin Dynasty was in a drought and the red land was three years old. Ping Gong's body was paralyzed. Therefore, if you do not listen to the rule, and if you are good and the five tones are endless, you will be poor.
"Shi Kuang Drum Qin" carved on Gao Yi Que
This article is about Wei Linggong listening to beautiful music on top of Pushui, so he ordered Shi Juan to record the music and play it skillfully, and when Wei Linggong arrived in the Jin Kingdom, he ordered Shi Juan to play it to Jin Ping Gong, and when Jinping Gong was happy to hear it, Shi Kuang on the side immediately stopped Shi Juan from playing, and said that this song was the sound of the kingdom played by Shi Yan to the King of Shang, and after the death of Shang, Shi Yan fled to the east and threw himself into the water and died. This song must have come from Pushui. But Jin Pinggong did not listen to What Shi Kuang said and insisted that Shi Juan finish playing, qu Bi sighed: "Is there a more beautiful song than this?" "Shi Kuang's return to "Qing Zheng" is even better than this. Ping Gong ordered him to play a song "Qing Zheng" as a return gift, and Shi Kuang shook his head, thinking that only people with deep moral character could listen to this song. Ping Gong said angrily, "The only thing that is good for a few people is to listen to music." "Shi Kuang had no choice but to obey his orders, and there were dozens of Cranes flying from the south; after playing for a while, they lined up in line; and finally they led a long neck song, stretched their wings, and danced with the sound of the piano. After the performance, Ping Gong personally poured wine for Shi Kuang and asked, "Probably there is no more moving tune than "Qing Zheng", right?" Shi Kuang did not dare to deceive the king, so he had to play "QingJiao", and after playing it for a while, dark clouds poured out of the sky in the northwest; after playing for a while, the fierce storm came in response; and then, the sharp wind roared, tearing apart the curtains in the room, and the heavy instruments of various sacrifices were shattered, the tiles on the roof also fell to the ground, and the princes and ministers who were sitting around listening to the music fled in horror, and the Duke of Jinping crawled on the ground in fright. Soon, the Jin dynasty was in a drought for three years, and the red land was thousands of miles, and the Duke of Jinping could not afford to be ill from then on.

"Han Feizi Ten Passes" is an essay written by the late Warring States thinker Han Fei. From the experience of history, the author summarizes the ten common mistakes of monarchs, and uses the tragedy of the subjugation of the country that they have caused, and exhorts the rulers to learn from them. Of course, the story of Shi Kuang Fuqin is also to warn the ruler, as the king of a country, that he should not indulge in music, and should not do whatever he wants in spite of the sufferings of his own people for his own selfish desires, but Jin Pinggong did not listen to Shi Kuang's advice, nor did he weigh whether he had such good virtues, which finally led to a three-year drought in the Jin Kingdom, the people did not have a good life, and the Jin Ping Gong also fell ill. When we look at this story, we may doubt the authenticity of this matter, and we may also doubt whether Shi Kuang has such divine power, but where is the so-called truth in history, this is just a story. It is enough for us to get a glimpse of one or two truths from this story. When we read this story and lamented Jinping Gong's pathless fainting, in fact, I think it is more worthy of being proud of the real, dare to say and do and full of personality Shi Kuang.
High Monument
The reason why Shi Kuang dared to stop Jinping Gong from listening to the piano in front of everyone was because he was fierce in nature, upright and straight, he was skillful at words, but he never tended to be inflammatory, and had an upright character that was not afraid of power. Once, Duke Jinping and his courtiers drank together. When he was happy to drink, he said triumphantly, "There is nothing happier than being a monarch!" Only my words no one dares to disobey! Shi Kuang was sitting next to him, and when he heard this, he picked up the piano and crashed into him. Let's see who in the dynasties and dynasties of later generations would dare to bump into the king of a country like this? Of course, some words have long been exterminated by the Nine Tribes, such a person who dares to speak, dare to tell the truth, dare to do things, dare to do practical things will actually not be welcomed in any dynasty, when encountering the wisdom of the emperor, when the politics are clear, these people may be hated by the traitors, when they encounter the emperor fainting, they will also be hated by the traitors, there are countless examples in history, because such people are after all a minority, too upright will only attract people's jealousy, this is not a so-called way of survival in the officialdom.

Speaking of telling the truth, the Spring and Autumn Warring States period is probably a relatively free and more real period, there are many truths in this period, of course, there are many stories, from the remaining story documents, we seem to see the independent personality and independent thinking of the people at that time. It is precisely because of these independent personalities and ideas that so many classic works and wonderful stories have emerged, and now we may not be as independent as our predecessors, it should be said that some aspects of us have actually degenerated since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, remember reading a passage in Mr. Yi Zhongtian's book: "The strong people like weak governments, the free people appreciate loose systems, the ignorant people look forward to wise leadership, and the weak people rely on the rule of power." So what kind of citizens are we now?
Other carvings on the Gao Yi Que
Shi Kuang Fuqin tu is only a partial decoration of Gao Yique, there are too many things he wants to express behind his back, and then look at the history and mythology behind these parts of "Zhang Liangshi Qin Emperor", "Gao Zu slashed the snake", "Ji Guiza Sword", "Yellow Emperor's relics of Xuanzhu", "Nine-tailed fox and three-legged bird", in fact, people at that time were also looking forward to political clarity, the wisdom of the emperor, the yearning for a better life, and the praise of high purity. This also proves how faint the rulers of the late Eastern Han Dynasty were, how difficult the times were, and how the local people had a beautiful dream for this politically clear life, so that in the barbaric land, the remote Yazhou set up a han que that cost Gao Yi huge manpower, material and financial resources, so tall and exquisite, of course, when we flaunted various spirits and erected various monuments in modern times, we actually found that the spirit and morality we lacked were really too much.
I think that Shi Kuang's playing of the piano must be very good, of course, it is impossible to be so good that it can attract Hongyan to listen to it, but it must be positive and directly pointed to the human heart, because I always feel that the human heart is the piano heart, and the piano heart is the human heart.

After the article was written, I flipped through the protection situation of Gao Yique and was surprised, in 1991, the whereabouts of the special funds for protection were unknown, and in 1996, the funds were actually "cut off".
