Chapter 1976 Eight Sounds and Eight Instruments
Qin Feng carefully selected five design drawings.
Because of Yingcheng's heavy award, these five design drawings are not actually the design drawings of a simple performance hall, but the design drawings of an entire block.
Relying on this main building, that is, Qin Feng Piano Interpretation Xuan, a music community will be created nearby.
Five design drawings, all very distinctive.
Basically, it's all in line with the idea of the music community.
However, in Qin Feng's opinion, the most satisfying thing is one of the Qin Feng piano interpretation Xuan, which is represented by eight ancient Chinese musical instruments and distributed in eight directions of the entire community.
This is similar to a gossip map.
The eight musical instruments are: pipa, chime, flute, se, qin, xun, sheng and drum.
These eight musical instruments also correspond to the eight sounds: metal, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, pao, and bamboo.
Pipa, this work is a "batch", a plucked string instrument. In the Han Dynasty, Liu Xi recorded in the book "Interpretation of Names and Musical Instruments": "The criticism is originally from Huzhong, and the drum is also immediately drummed." Before pushing the hand, it is said to be criticized, but the lead is said to be handled, like its drum, because it is also famous. The ancient meaning of this ancient text is: pipa is a musical instrument played on a horse, played forward is called pipa, and backward is called pipa, according to the characteristics of its playing, it is named "pipa" (pipa). In ancient times, percussion, percussion, strumming, and playing were all called drums. At that time, the nomads rode on horses and played the lute, so they were "drummed on horses".
Chimes are large percussion instruments of the ancient Han nationality, which arose in the Western Zhou Dynasty and flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period until the Qin and Han dynasties. It is made of bronze and consists of oblate round bells of different sizes arranged in the order of pitch, hanging on a huge bell stand, and striking the bronze bells with a T-shaped wooden hammer and a long rod respectively, which can produce different musical sounds, because each bell has a different tone, and can play a beautiful piece of music by striking according to the musical notation.
The history of the flute can be traced back to ancient times. Archaeology shows that there are bone sounders more than 7,000 years ago found in the unearthed cultural relics, which archaeologists call "bone whistle" (cultural relics unearthed in Hemudu, Zhejiang, existing in Zhejiang). At the same time, the flute, which is divided into the dong flute and the qin flute, is a very ancient Han wind instrument. The tone is mellow and soft, quiet and elegant, suitable for solo and ensemble performances. It is generally made of bamboo, with a blown hole at the upper end, and is divided into a six-hole flute and an eight-hole flute.
The origins of the serpent are also very old, accounting for the largest proportion of stringed instruments found in archaeological discoveries. Its excavation sites are concentrated in the three provinces of Hubei, Hunan and Henan, and most of them come from the tombs of Chu in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Elsewhere, there are only a few sporadic discoveries. Se, shaped like a piano, has 25 strings, the thickness of the strings is different, each string has a column, according to the pentatonic scale. The earliest Se had fifty strings, so it was also called "fifty strings".
The position of the piano among ancient musical instruments is similar to that of the piano today. Invented in the Fuxi era, it is a five-stringed qin, or the cloud is made by Shennong ("Ancient History Examination": Fuxi made the qin, Se. "Compendium of Easy Knowledge": Fuxi chopping tong is the qin, the rope is the string, and the mulberry is the se. "Saying": Qin, the string music composed by the bud sacrificial family. "Imperial Century": Shennong began to make a five-string piano, with the sound of the palace merchant horn Zhengyu. Nine generations to King Wen, the second string of the multiplication, said Shaogong, Shaoshang. The place where the qin was invented was in the area of present-day western and eastern Henan.
The ancients said: "Among the eight tones, only the string is the most, and the qin is the first", "among all the instruments, the qin virtue is the best", this qin word refers to the guqin. "The piano player relies on the sound of heaven and earth", "through the gods, frightens the ghosts and gods", "Therefore, the gourd drums and harps, the birds fly and gather, and the deep fish listen; the teacher drums and the piano, the six horses look up, and the crane stretches the neck"..... Almost all the stories about music in ancient times came from the guqin. The guqin also has a very broad artistic expression, clear, simple, round and extremely penetrating and textured, so its performance realm is very broad: the faint and distant "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", the elegant and pure "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", the leisurely and soothing "Fisherman's Q&A", the strong and rough "Guangling San", the sad and painful "Changmen Resentment", the majestic "Flowing Water", there is almost nothing that the guqin can not express.
The surface is fitted with seven strings, ranging from thick to thin, arranged in a pentatonic scale from the outside to the inside. There are also thirteen emblems embedded in the surface of the piano to identify the phonemes on the strings. In the performance, the right hand plucks the strings in three timbre variations: scattered, pan, and pressed. The sound is pronounced as an empty string, and its sound is strong and powerful. Overtones are the light touch of the emblem with the left hand, producing a light and fluttering musical sound. Presses are left-handed chords, and moving your fingers can change pitch and produce portamento, trill, or other ornamentation. In addition, it can also play the same degree, octave, fifth and other intervals. The literature and genealogy of the guqin are vast, and it is a treasure of ancient music in China.
Xun, in ancient times, was a wind instrument fired from clay, round or oval, with six holes. Xun originated from the labor and production activities of the ancestors of the Han nationality, and it may have been made by the ancestors to imitate the sounds of birds and beasts to trap prey. Later, with the progress of society, it evolved into a simple musical instrument, and gradually increased the sound holes, and developed into a melodic instrument that could play tunes.
Originally, Xun was mostly made of stone and bone, and later developed into pottery, and there are many shapes, such as oblate, oval, spherical, fish-shaped, and pear-shaped, among which the pear shape is the most common. There is a mouthpiece at the upper end of the xun, the bottom is flat, and there are sound holes on the side wall. Xun has gone through a long stage, about four or five thousand years ago, Xun developed from one sound hole to two sound holes, and can blow three sounds.
An ancient wind instrument, shaped like a pear, was fired from clay. It first appeared about 7,000 years ago, most of them are two-tone holes and three-tone holes, and the five-tone hole Taoxun in the Yin Shang period has been able to play the seven-tone scale and some semitones, and the pronunciation is simple and mellow and tragic.
Sheng, known as Lusha in ancient times, is a reed wind instrument derived from ancient times, is the world's earliest musical instrument to use free reeds, through the reed in each pipe to make sound, is the only harmonic instrument in the wind instrument, but also the only instrument that can blow and suck sound, its timbre is clear and translucent, the range is wide, and the appeal is strong. In traditional instrumental music and Kunqu opera, the sheng is often used as an accompaniment to other wind instruments such as the flute and suona, adding a pure fourth or pure fifth to the melody. In modern Chinese orchestras, sheng can play the role of melody or accompaniment.
Drums, then needless to say. It appeared relatively early, and judging from the excavated artifacts found today, it can be determined that the drum is about 4,500 years old. In ancient times, the drum was not only used for sacrifices, music and dance, but also for striking enemies, driving away fierce beasts, and was a tool to tell the time and call the police. With the development of society, the application range of drums is more extensive, and drum instruments are inseparable from national bands, various dramas, operas, songs and dances, boat races, lion dances, festive gatherings, labor competitions, etc. The structure of the drum is relatively simple, and it is composed of two parts: the drum skin and the drum body. The drum skin is the articulatory body of the drum, which is usually covered with animal leather on the drum frame and vibrated by beating or beating to produce sound. There are many varieties of Chinese drum instruments, including waist drums, big drums, same drums, flower pot drums, etc.
The so-called "drum and qin se" in ancient texts means that before the qin seer is played, there is a drum sound as a guide. The cultural connotation of the drum is broad and profound, and the majestic drum sound closely accompanies human beings, and the ancient wilderness is moving towards civilization step by step.
It can be said that this design is very ingenious and very refreshing.
After Qin Feng studied it carefully, he directly selected.
"Yes, this design pattern is good!" Zhang Fuyin and others expressed their approval.
They were also interested in the design.
However, this design pattern is good, but it is very difficult to create, and it is very expensive and takes up space.
