Section 62 Ancient Chimes

We came to a burial chamber again, the ancient burial chamber is usually all kinds of lifelike murals spread all over the place, to our surprise is that this burial chamber is all over the place, there is a large piece of white bones deep, more than the tomb just now, and there are some relatively fresh corpses that have not been corrupted for the time being, they are still in different shapes, thousands of postures, some people are holding their heads and running around, some people are covering their ears and stealing bells, some people are dull-eyed, some people are frightened, it is really too strange, these people have no scars or sword wounds on their bodies, and the traces of hidden weapons are nowhere to be found, and the quicksand has been explored with silver needles, and there are no traces of poisoningBut these people look terrified, what are they afraid of? What is the message of these dying people? We walked cautiously, carefully looked around the tomb, nothing abnormal, did not see any wind and grass, it was really incomprehensible, but this tomb was empty, except for some antique musical instruments, there was nothing else, what were we worried about, it is estimated that those people walked a few laps by themselves, could not get out, so they were trapped here, listening to music to relax and happened to die here, everyone did not find anything strange, and was preparing to split up to find an exit, because this tomb is square, and has not found any gaps, it is really strangeWe searched for a long time and still found nothing, so we had to stop and stay in this tomb temporarily.

Soon, however, our attention was drawn to a halt by the rows of beautifully crafted chimes that we could see in front of us. These chimes are graceful and luxurious, and they are well-made, made of copper, tin, Lead alloy casting, skilled craftsmen finely carved, by the size of the oblate bell according to the order of pitch, in an orderly arrangement, hanging on a huge paulownia structure of the bell frame, by the length of the two facades vertically intersected, the two ends of the curved ruler-shaped painted wooden beam reinforced with the dragon pattern copper sleeve, by the majestic carved saber samurai-shaped copper pillar and column support, those bells are glamorous and moving flashing with the alluring cyan light, eye-catching, such a quality of such an atmospheric and luxurious bell is rare in the world, each bell body is painted with exquisite ancient totem patterns, flowers, birds, people and beasts, lifelike, meticulous and clear, but also engraved with wrong gold inscriptionsI counted carefully, and there were a large number of them, including 19 button clocks, 45 Ningbo clocks, etc., a total of 65 pieces. It is estimated that there are more than 200 hooks, and the largest bass bell is even bigger than the big bell in our temple for New Year's blessings, according to my preliminary estimate of more than 200 catties, I don't know how this clever tomb owner got such a large thing into this deep tomb? It is really incredible.

Xiao Fei was full of praise and said: "These chimes are really time-honored and beautiful." Chimes arose in the Western Zhou Dynasty and were our ancient large-scale percussion instruments, flourishing in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period until the Qin and Han dynasties. China is the earliest country to manufacture and use music clocks. Did you see it, I'm right, this is the ancient tomb of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and this kind of bell is a special musical instrument for the upper class, a symbol of rank and power, the identity of the owner of the tomb is really not simple, maybe it is really a general with power, I am really an expert among experts, I can't help but admire myself. And each different bronze bell can produce different musical sounds, because the tone of each bell is different, if you hit it according to the musical notation, you can immediately play a beautiful music, which must be extremely crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature, and the aftermath is lingering for three days. It can play the same melody as singing, and it is also known as a song bell. ”

Then Xiao Fei turned his head to me and whispered: "And this set of bells is very exquisite, and the bells unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Yi in our country before, which can be called the eighth wonder of the world, can be completely compared." And this set of bells is also very large, taking up half of this big tomb, hey, if we can bring this set of bells back, we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. So you petty bourgeois thinking seriously, worship foreign guys, look at it, look at how powerful our ancestors are, as far away as 3000 years ago in the Shang Dynasty, there were chimes, and as far away as 2000 years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, our country's music culture and casting technology has developed to such a high level, it is really impressive, breathtaking, and our modern society is all the rage Western musical instruments and pianos, like mushrooms after a rain, everyone learns, in fact, I personally think that the guzheng, chimes or something Qingyang agitation, better。 In terms of sound quality, pitch, timbre, etc., chimes are in no way inferior to Western percussion instruments such as timpano, marimba, aluminum plate piano, snare drum, snare drum, etc., and are not inferior to jazz percussion instruments such as drum kits. Its position is deeply entrenched in the world percussion scene. ”

I said disapprovingly: "Yes, I agree with your opinion of this old antique, you are really knowledgeable, knowledgeable, know everything, you are really loved, flowers bloom, Xiaosheng admires, but the hero does not mention the courage of the year, now nothing matters, the rest is almost over, we still hurry around to find out if there is any mechanism, find a way out." ”

Suddenly, I heard Wang Gongzi's miserable shout, and then he reminded loudly: "Be careful, Zeng Gongzi, don't touch those big and small chimes, I think those things are really weird, I'm afraid there is fraud." "But Brother Zeng Lu couldn't resist his curiosity, he had already pulled out the sharp sword, and gently plucked the chime, and he didn't know what unexpected things would happen, and we didn't have time to think about it, all of them were so frightened that their souls were scattered, and they immediately decisively pulled out the shining blades from behind them, drew their swords and swung their knives, ready to meet the enemy, good guys, so many large and small chimes stared at us, close at hand, I don't know how many baskets of poisonous arrows will be shot later, ten thousand arrows are fired at once, we only have to sit still, sit still, and the soul is scattered, but to our surprise, there is still a silence at the moment, silent。

What's going on, we are wondering, suddenly those chimes as a whole began to sway, swaying from side to side, like rows of huge wind chimes, majestically in the tomb, I don't know what mechanism is installed in it, not only did not shoot out poisonous arrows, but how did it start to play, it really makes us puzzled, I don't understand, but the sound of those chimes and chimes is indeed exquisite, unparalleled, unparalleled, very rare, with a wide range, very beautiful, deep and rich bass, The mellow and simple alto and the crisp and bright clear treble, one after another, alternately, crisp and bright, melodious and beautiful, it is really pleasing to the eye, relaxed, we see no danger, and also feel tired all the way, after listening to these music, it is really enlightening, refreshed, everyone is carried away by it, deeply intoxicated, however, I am still unsure, this time the tomb owner is really good, his old man suddenly has a hot head today, 360 degrees turn, kindly put up the music for us to understand the fatigue?
