Chapter 342 Chinese Ancient Music

China has a long history, and the history of Chinese music is even longer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The flute is a characteristic musical instrument in the history of Chinese music, and the earliest known bone flute is the bone flute of the new period of 8,000 years ago, the Jiahu bone flute, which was excavated in 1977.

The excavation of this bone flute proves that Chinese music has a complete system 8,000 years ago, and the unearthed bone flute can still be played after more than 8,000 years of wind and frost.

The Jiahu bone flute is divided into four types, three, five, seven, and eight sound holes, and the syllables are very perfect.

The history of the drum is also very long, because the drum has a good resonance effect, the sound is agitated and majestic and spreads far away, so it was used by the Chinese ancestors as a cheer for the army very early. Legend has it that in the battle of Zhuolu, where the Yellow Emperor conquered Chiyou, "the Yellow Emperor killed Kui, used his skin as a drum, and heard five hundred."

The sound produced by the different structures of the drums is also different, and if it weren't for the limited time, Wang Yao thought about making an ancient sound drum by himself and returning to the oldest sound.

But now it can only be processed by sound correction.

Chinese music theory originated from ceremonial music and war songs, because ceremonial music is used for formal occasions to worship or celebrate, so it is a grand and magnificent movement played by many musical instruments, Wang Yao alone can not achieve the effect of ensemble, and now it is too slow to find an ensemble to rearrange it.

He can only try to restore a part, record the same, and then edit the audio to become a complete song, but fortunately, the editing function of the system is still quite powerful.

Before the Zhou Dynasty, the ancient music of China was made for sacrifice, because in ancient times, there were too few people who knew music theory, and their status was high, for example, Qu Yuan knew music theory since he was a child.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, music began to be popularized, and each school created a lot of things similar to "school songs" to promote its own scholarship and arouse the popularity of the common people, so at that time, music began to be popularized on a large scale.

By the time Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, the music was basically set in tune, and there was an institution called Yuefu in the Han Dynasty, which specialized in creating music, and after artistic processing, the lyrics became a great song with both singing and dancing.

The "Guangling San" and "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" handed down from the guqin are more famous, one is from the Warring States Period, which tells the story of Nie Zheng's assassination of Han at the moment of the Warring States Period, and the other is Cai Wenji's writing about what he heard and felt when he was taken back to the Central Plains by Cao Cao from the Xiongnu.

The more famous one that has been handed down from the flute is "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms", but it is a version that has been changed into a piano song.

The story of "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" is the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Huan Yi, but also a famous beautiful man in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "Di Sheng" and the book saint Wang Huizhi has a beautiful conversation, the Wei and Jin Dynasty is the time when many contemporary literary and artistic young people yearn for, because at that time the Central Plains had the strongest literary and artistic atmosphere, especially in dance and music.

On the way back to Beijing, Wang Huizhi met a beautiful man riding a tall horse at the pier, that is, the general Huan Yi, Wang Huizhi was amazed that Huan Yi was handsome, and sent someone to investigate, only to know that it was Huan Yi, and the reputation of Huan Yi's flute had spread throughout the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Wang Huizhi sent someone to make friends, Huan Yi also admired Wang Huizhi's literary talents, and went on the boat to blow this song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" for Wang Huizhi, Wang Huizhi listened to it fascinated, but the two just looked at each other and smiled, and did not talk.

The free and easy 'divine friendship' between the two was rumored to be a famous story at that time.

(Don't ask what position the god is...) That's pretty much what the allusion means, anyway. ）

Guzheng chose the song "Fishing Boat Singing Evening" composed in "Words of Return" in the Qing Dynasty

Pipa chose "Ambush on All Sides"

Dong Xiao, that is, the Qiang flute song, is selected from "Deep Mountain Zen Forest"

Erhu chose "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace"

Xun chose the ancient song "Wailing Ying (Ying)" which is a passage drawn from "Lisao".

The sheng is the world's earliest known free-form reed air sounding instrument, and the excavated artifacts include artifacts from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng 2,400 years ago, at least 1,800 years before the appearance of the saxophone.

There are many ancient songs of Shengqu, but there are not many that have been handed down, and there are six poems called Sheng's poems in the Book of Songs, which are ancient songs of Sheng, which reflect the social outlook of the entire Zhou Dynasty for more than 500 years at that time.

They are 'Nanyi, Baihua, Huaxiao, Youkang, Chongwu, Youyi'

Wang Yao chose the last chapter of "You Yi"

Most of the poems such as "The Book of Songs" and "Lisao" before the unification of Qin were composed of lyrics, which were both poems and scores.

Wang Yao's current music theory level is not enough, and he can't extract the part of the music from it.

Very few ancient Konghou songs have been handed down, and most of them were created in the later period, but Wang Yao happened to bring back a Konghou song from Dunhuang, which was called "Snapping Fingers" in the Yuan and Jin periods.

Although these ancient songs are all performed alone, they also need a variety of cooperation, otherwise the soundtrack will seem a little empty, after all, the ancient songs are all 'elegant' as the beauty, and the transmission of music is mainly based on artistic conception, but in the colorful picture of the movie, the concert seems thin and somewhat different, so Wang Yao will make subtle integration adjustments.

A person recorded in the recording studio for almost an hour, the door was pushed open, and Song Qianqian rushed in recklessly, "What about people, what about people?"

Then I saw Wang Yao, who was surrounded by a group of musical instruments, stunned.

Wang Yao put down the Xun in his hand, looked at Song Qianqian, who had obviously been carefully dressed, and frowned, "You are dressed like this, do you want to go on a blind date?"

"Isn't it pretty?" Song Qianqian was stunned and lowered her head to examine it.

"It's not good-looking, or it's a bit deliberate. Wang Yao smiled, "But it doesn't matter." ”

"What are you doing here, reselling musical instruments?" Song Qianqian rolled her eyes at Wang Yao and looked at a room full of musical instruments.

"Don't you see that I'm making art?" Wang Yao shrugged.

"Will you shadow a clone?" Song Qianqian pouted, "Don't talk about this, take me to meet someone." ”

"It's right next door, you can go yourself. Wang Yao said.

"How embarrassed I am if you don't go with me. Song Qianqian frowned.

"Manager Pu is here. Wang Yao said, "But you'd better not be too exaggerated, it's easy to add a burden to others." ”

"Do you think I'm a little kid who has never seen the world?" Song Qianqian wrinkled her nose, "You can do your own artistic creation." ”

As he spoke, the door was closed again.

Wang Yao blinked, took a sip of water and continued recording.

After a while, the door was pushed open again.

Wang Yao looked at Jin Taeran and the others who were dressed up in flowers, and laughed, "You fans are like this when they see idols?"

"Less nonsense, what about people?" asked Kim Tae-ran coquettishly.

"Next door. Wang Yao said.

"Take us there. Kim Tae-ran said.

"Go by yourself, Senior Sister Qianqian is here, but don't exaggerate too much. Wang Yao admonished.

"Got it. Jin Tairan pulled Xu Qingmei and Zhao Fei, who had not had time to speak behind him, and walked towards the recording studio next door.

Zheng Jingjing glanced at Wang Yao and looked at the musical instruments in the room, "Are you in the musical instrument business again?"

"I'm making art. Wang Yao spread his hands, "Isn't the artistic atmosphere grand?"

Zheng Jingjing pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "I'm still like a second-class dealer." ”

"Your master is next door. The corners of Wang Yao's mouth twitched.

Looking at Wang Yao's expression, Zheng Jingjing smiled, "I'll come back to accompany you later." ”

Wang Yao touched his chin, smiled and sighed, he still has a conscience.

However, Zheng Jingjing said that it would be a bit long to wait for a while, and they were almost ready to eat dinner, and a few of them came back.

Wang Yaodu has already recorded more than half of it.

"Life is complete. Kim Tae-ran's face was crimson, and there were little stars in his eyes.

"Miss Mei is really easy-going and beautiful. Xu Qingmei went to the side of the guzheng and plucked the strings.

"How much do you get so many stars to dub you? Song Qianqian was concerned about a more realistic problem.

"Where does he have the ability to bring in so many big stars, it is estimated that my master helped him pull them. Zheng Jingjing touched Gong Hou and touched the dulcimer, "You play so many musical instruments alone?"

"Wang Yao, you are so powerful, you can do anything. Zhao Fei's face was full of admiration.

"Huaxia ancient music is all the way, what's so powerful. Xu Qingmei raised her chin arrogantly, and played the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" with the guzheng in her hand.

"Exactly, match me with this. Wang Yao threw the score.

Xu Qingmei took it and looked at it for a while, "What kind of song is this? ”

"Dunhuang brought it back. Wang Yao said, "Can it be done?"

"It's a small point, but I have to play the guqin. Xu Qingmei said.

"Konghou and Guzheng choose by themselves, and the sound of the guqin is not quite right. Wang Yao shook his head and said.

"That's because of your dish. Xu Qingmei wrinkled her nose, "You say, what does it feel like to play." ”

Wang Yao gave up his position and plucked the silk strings of Konghou.

The sound of Konghou is not like the sound of the pipa, the big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate, and I don't want the guzheng to buzz and ripple, the sound of the gonghou is like a gentle spring breeze, not hurried with a hint of laziness, which makes people relaxed and extra comfortable at the same time.

Zheng Jingjing and the others squatted in the corner, quietly listening to Wang Yao's gonghou solo sound flowing in the room.

Xu Qingmei pinched the strings and didn't move for a long time, although she had only read one side of the score and had written it down, but the feeling in Wang Yaogonghou was with Zen and Sanskrit sound, obviously Buddhist singing, and she was a little unsure for a while.

Finally, when Wang Yao entered the second paragraph, Xu Qingmei's fingers trembled, the guqin made a melodious and simple sound, and the aftermath of the sound gradually merged into Wang Yao's gonghou sound.

It was like a drop of stone hitting the surface of a calm lake, setting off waves and disturbing the Zen realm.

Wang Yao glanced at Xu Qingmei.

Not to be outdone, Xu Qingmei glared at Wang Yao and plucked two more strings.

The guqin sound and the gonghou sound seemed to collide and could not be fused, and Zheng Jingjing and other listeners frowned.

But after a few minutes, the sound of the guqin and the sound of the gonghou became harmonious, and the collision became less intense.

Wang Yao looked at Xu Qingmei in surprise.

The most distinctive of the ancient sound of the guqin is the melodious and simple, this kind of sound is not integrated with the Sanskrit sound, Xu Qingmei can actually remove a trace of characteristics, so that the sound of the guqin has become another dull and hoarse sound like a prayer wheel.

It's really a genius.

Wang Yao sighed.

The music played by the two of them gradually became wonderful, Zheng Jingjing and others listened obsessively, the door was pushed open without paying attention, Leslie Cheung pushed the door open and heard the beautiful ensemble, and quickly signaled the people behind him to be quiet, and pushed the crack of the door wider, and the sound of the guqin inside became clearer and clearer, drilling into everyone's ears, echoing in the company's empty corridor.

The staff who had just finished work to pack up their things were unconsciously quiet.

"What a beauty who came out of an ancient painting. Anita Mui looked at Wang Yao, who was dressed in Hanfu and moved Gonghou, and her smile was full of surprise.

"This room of musical instruments, the two of them use?" Er Dongsheng asked in a low voice, "Instrument genius?"

"It's not just musical instruments. Leslie Cheung chuckled.
