Chapter 280: Shame

Since ancient times, music has been defined as a gift from God to human beings, especially in the Chinese civilization, music occupies a great weight, the ancient tribal era used the most primitive music to express human resistance to fear and darkness, and in ancient times, ritual music was used to worship God to pray for peace, and now, slowly music has become the most common and most suitable channel for human beings to express their personal emotions.

Music is inseparable from the reproduction and development of human beings, from entertaining gods to entertaining people, the process is to witness the progress of human beings, so music art is great, because it has the effect of shaking the genes of the human soul.

The position of music in theology and religious culture is also crucial, with Western religion using the gospel, Buddhism using Sanskrit sound detachment, and Taoism teaching people with ritual music.

In the Sanskrit sound of Buddhism, even if the believers can't understand the chanting of the monks, but the resonance and shock from the soul can be truly felt, "The Great Compassion Mantra" is the most popular and popular Buddhist Sanskrit sound, and most people will have a different feeling after listening to it.

Ordinary because for human appreciation, it is divided into two categories, one is to like to listen, and the other is to dislike to listen.

However, the religious Sanskrit sound of "Great Compassion Mantra" is also divided into two kinds, the first is to listen to it, and the other is to listen to it with fear.

Those who love to listen to it never get tired of listening to it, and can even find peace in this song, and those who are afraid of this song will have a numb scalp when they hear it, and they will become upset and irritable.

This sensory feeling is difficult to explain with physiological reactions, because from the essence of the explanation, whether it is Sanskrit music or ordinary songs, it is the feedback of sound waves transmitted to the brain, and it should not produce such a strong physiological resistance, but many things really cannot be explained by existing science, and there may be explanations in the future.

Religion is not material, but a kind of spiritual, not to participate in the sermon every week, worship to show one's sincerity, the right thing should be to get the strength from religious beliefs, let people from the power of good, and then let yourself slowly become better, let the world become better.

Any form of coercion and deliberate propagation of religious beliefs is, in a sense, a kind of spiritual enslavement of the weak, and it is precisely because of these 'objectified' religious propagations that superstition and other unwise phenomena are breeded.

Religion and belief are good things, but I am afraid that some people will use it to do bad things.

There is no Buddha without demons in the world, how great the power of faith is, it can be said to be infinite, but it depends on how the believer uses it, using it for good will bless all generations, and using it for evil will be a disaster for a thousand years.

To do evil in the name of so-called justice is a greater evil than evil itself.

Faith is not God, God is only a high-level believer in faith, so what God says is not the same as faith.

Because faith is free, vast, and does not bind or restrict anyone, nor does it demand anything in return, it is the great thing that makes faith so great.

Moreover, the form of faith is amorphous, and the only common denominator is goodness.

In the course of thousands of years of Buddhist development, because of the different regions and cultural customs, various types of Buddhist songs have been derived, and these Buddhist songs are also blending with each other.

Especially in Dunhuang on the Silk Road, it is a gift of the entire human civilization, the musical instruments, music scores and Buddhist songs and scriptures unearthed in the Dunhuang grottoes are now known to have 240 grottoes, 4,500 special musical instruments, more than 3,300 murals and sculptures, more than 500 bands, and more than 400 scriptures.

These musical scores and performance forms thousands of years ago, as well as musical instruments that modern humans have never heard of, are the most valuable treasures in the history of civilization, and they can intuitively tell the current human beings what songs the ancients sang thousands of years ago, what creed they believed, and what the living atmosphere was like.

These ancient compositions and compositions are a field of another place for modern music, a field that transcends time and space, and brings infinite space and inspiration to the creation and development of music.

And most importantly, it allows us to listen to beautiful sounds from thousands of years ago.

The stone room discovered by accident this time is a grotto where Buddha music is stored, and a total of more than 100 cultural relics have been unearthed in it, although basically all of them have been corroded and calcified, but it is also a major discovery, at least it can verify the ancient craftsmanship and materials for making musical instruments.

The scriptures found were also damaged in large numbers, including Chinese characters, scriptures written in the languages of Tibetan, Khitan and even Ha Tocharian and ancient Persia, as well as other ancient countries.

A total of sixteen corpses, all of them are women, from the instrument test should be more than 500 years old ancient bones, should be Buddhist monks during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and it is basically certain that they are all players who play musical instruments, because their finger bones are stronger than other bones, and they are well preserved.

What is the identity and ethnicity of these sixteen female musicians, and whether they were martyred along with these music scores or other reasons? This is another important discovery for Fan Jinshi.

As the stone chamber was methodically cleaned, Wang Yao observed the murals and sculptures that were gradually revealing their original shapes, trying to extract all the information from them.

Tan Dun is really like a demon, kneeling on the ground and chanting reverently, although he is not a Buddhist, but he is interested in Zen, and music in Zen is also the most special.

Generally speaking, the music in the Dunhuang grottoes cannot be regarded as the music of the Western Regions, but another kind of Buddhist music derived from the ritual music of the Chinese civilization.

The understanding of Buddhist music is all Han tradition, so the importance of Dunhuang music to the music history of the whole of China is self-evident.

The Tang Dynasty prevailed Hu Feng, but also the pagoda and the Li family was born with a strong sense of music, from the ancestor Li Yuan can sing and dance, Taizong Li Shimin is both singing and dancing, the famous "Qin King Breaking Array Song" is Li Shimin himself participated in the compilation.

And the later ancestor of Liyuan Xing, Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji and Yang Guifei composed the world's swan song.

Wang Yao suddenly had an idea that if the Dunhuang music was restored, it should be a turning point for the Chinese civilization he was looking for.

Wang Yao walked to the wreckage of the instrument he was dealing with, put his hand on it, and the staff in charge of processing looked at him and did not stop him.

"System, can it be scanned. Wang Yao asked in his mind.

"The host level is insufficient to scan. The system replied.

"Why was the wordless tablet scanned last time?" Wang Yao asked suspiciously.

"Qianling is a complete historical heritage, and these are incomplete historical heritage, in addition to the need for non-material civilization level, the restoration also needs the material civilization level, if you want to repair, the scriptures can be scanned, but friendly reminder, the cost of restoration is more expensive, please be cautious. The system said again.

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, a little unconvinced, he now has nearly 10 billion prestige points, and he should be able to afford it no matter how expensive it is." ”

"Launch. The system answered.

Wang Yao only felt that his head was white, and when he came back to his senses, he was already sitting on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Tan Dun, who was bumped into by Wang Yao, came back to his senses from the chanting and helped Wang Yao up in confusion.

"Nothing, maybe a little hypoxic. Wang Yao said in a muffled voice in the gas mask.

"You can't do it physically. Tan Dun smiled: "Come up." ”

"Aren't you going up?" asked Wang Yao.

"I feel it a little longer, I feel heaven. Tan Dun said excitedly.

Wang Yao shook his head, went out of the stone room and saw the light of day, took off the mask to breathe a sigh of relief, found a place to rest, and his thoughts sneaked into the revival space.

"The scan is over, the results of the report are 124.52 million prestige value consumed, 1.2 million words scanned (700,000 mutilated words), 54 murals, about 102 square meters (58 mutilated square meters), 93 pieces of material heritage, and a mass of about 520 kilograms (510 kilograms mutilated)"

This is the first time Wang Yao has successfully scanned the ruins, and the last time he scanned the Qianling Tomb failed, so there was no report.

But after seeing this report, Wang Yao was taken aback: "Spent more than 100 million prestige points?

"It's been said long ago that you can't afford it. "The system seems to be laughing.

The corners of Wang Yao's mouth twitched, and he looked in the revival space, the newly scanned grotto was located in the west, under the Zhangxiong civilization, but it was as chaotic as Qianling, "Why didn't I get the information?"

"The data is too mutilated to be collected, is it being restored?" the system asked.

"Restoration. Wang Yao waved his hand.

"With the host level, the restoration of text and murals can be completed by seventy-three percent, and the material restoration can be completed by six percent, which requires consumption, two billion or six billion reputation points, whether to restore or not. The system asked.

Wang Yao bit his tongue in shock: "Twenty billion six billion?

"2.6 billion reputation points, which is converted to 26 million human intelligence, do you think that these civilization inheritances that are at least 500 years old and have no upper limit have not reached the equivalent of 26 million?" the system asked rhetorically.

Wang Yaoleng paused and swallowed his saliva.

He really ignored the weight and value of the inheritance of civilization, this 1.2 million words, which represent the wisdom of human civilization hundreds of years ago, after countless generations of generations, the compilation and perfection of successive generations can be presented in front of future generations, and we, the descendants, read the knowledge summarized by the predecessors with time and painstaking efforts, but we do not seem to attach importance to them, and do not know their value.

This is the real unfilial piety.

Wang Yao was suddenly ashamed, he used to laugh at the book editor when he was studying, he thought he was smart and arrogant, he had no reverence for knowledge and his predecessors, and forgot how these predecessors groped their way forward in the dark when their IQ was not open in ancient times, and opened up such a broad road for future generations to bloom.
