Chapter 66: The Nature of Music
What is the essence of music?
Chen Qingfeng has thought about this question before, and he has also seen other people's answers.
Although he is a luthier, he is not much different from everyone else in this matter.
He, like many people, understands that the essence of music is the voice of the heart.
That is, the voice of the heart.
At the time, he thought the answer was very correct. But when I thought about it later, I found that this answer was somewhat unreliable.
Why?
Because it's not just people who can make music, but everything in heaven and earth can make music.
If the essence of music is the voice of the human heart, what does the music of heaven and earth have to do with the voice of the human heart?
So he later thought that the essence of music is melody.
Whether it is music produced by people or music produced by all things in heaven and earth, melody is inevitable.
It can be said that where there is melody, there is also music.
However, this answer, in a book, because of a story, was overturned for him.
The story is about a deaf man and a mute man.
The deaf and the mute are neighbors, and the dumb often sings to the deaf, and the deaf can listen attentively every time, and later compliments the dumb man for singing good songs.
Later, when the news came out, people with good things came to check the truth of the matter.
He first confirmed that the mute could not sing at all, but then confirmed that the deaf really could not hear any sound, and then asked the mute to sing to the deaf man.
I want to see what is going on between the dumb and the deaf.
In the end, he found that the mute man was not singing at allβwhen he was with the deaf man, his mouth did not open, his throat did not move, and he did not make a sound at all.
However, the good man did not interrupt the two of them on the spot, but after the dumb man finished singing, he separated the two and asked each about singing.
The mute told the good deeds in a dumb language, saying that it was a pleasure to have friends from afar, and that he was welcoming the good deeds to their homes with a singing voice.
And the good deeds asked what tune the song was sung, and what the sound of the song was.
The mutes told them all in mute.
Then the good man asked the deaf man the same question, and the deaf man's answer surprised him, because his answer turned out to be the same as that of a dumb man.
Whether it is the content of the song, or the tone and melody of the song, etc., there is no difference between what the two say.
The people of good deeds are very emotional, so they conclude: the dumb can sing because they lose their voices, and the deaf people are deaf and can hear.
What does it mean, that is, the music of heaven and earth does not have sound, and there is also music that exists beyond sound, just like a song sung by a mute without opening his mouth, and a song that the deaf cannot hear but hear, this is music without sound.
This is a book of pre-Qin princes, the story told, the truth of the story cannot be verified, but the truth told makes Chen Qingfeng remember it deeply.
In addition to sound, music is also silent. Sound music is made by melody, but how does silence come out?
This question had bothered Chen Qingfeng for a while, but then he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore.
Now it was suddenly mentioned by the Tian Lai system that if you are promoted to the music realm, you must understand the essence of music, and Chen Qingfeng's thoughts about the essence of music will come to mind in a short time.
He is still broadcasting, but as soon as he thought about it, he was completely lost in his soul and sat there without moving.
His brow furrowed slightly.
Although the fans in the live broadcast room were very strange and sent various barrages to ask the reason, Chen Qingfeng had already fallen into thinking, where else could he know this.
Chen Qingfeng sat quietly, thinking repeatedly about what the essence of music is, this question.
"Music has silent music, where does this silent music come from, and how does it spread?"
"The Tian Lai system says that sound is a kind of heaven and earth vitality, and sound is the basic element of music, and silent music is not related to heaven and earth vitality, and it is also another form of heaven and earth vitality?"
"If it is the vitality of heaven and earth, how can silent music be transmitted?"
"If you don't make a sound, you can directly let people who can't hear it clearly, and the method of silent music transmission should go beyond the medium. β
"Beyond the transmission of media, in this world, as far as I know, in addition to the abilities of the gods, it is the induction of life and death between close relatives, and the quantum entanglement in physics. β
"I can't know the truth of the gods, the life and death of my loved ones, when my parents were in a car accident, I felt it. But although I have really felt this kind of induction, I can't know exactly why it happens, just like the power of the gods. β
"The rest is quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement is the mutual supertemporal influence of particles, where one particle moves and the other particle moves at the same time. It's like silent music!"
One by one, one ring at a time, Chen Qingfeng's heart suddenly lit up when he was considering quantum entanglement.
"Could it be that the essence of music is quantum entanglement?" he was a little surprised, and his heart quickly argued, "Quantum entanglement is not subject to the medium, whether it is in a vacuum or in a solid liquid gaseous state, quantum entanglement will occur directly, which is very similar to the situation of dumb and deaf silent music." β
He thought he had found the key to the essence of music, but a question that had to be thought about then appeared in his mind - "If the essence of music is quantum entanglement, then what about the nature of quantum entanglement? Every phenomenon does not appear out of thin air, everything must have a cause and effect." If quantum entanglement has no antecedents, it is the essence, then now that I think of this, my happiness should be promoted. β
"When I was promoted to the Paradise, the Ethereal system would definitely take the initiative to appear and send congratulations, but it did not take the initiative to appear, which shows that quantum entanglement is not the essence, it only explains the existence of silent music. β
"What is the ultimate essence?"
Chen Qingfeng's brows, which had just stretched, furrowed again.
He thought about it for a while, but just shook his head, couldn't think of anything else, and gave up.
There are some things that can be rushed out without being in a hurry, and he still understands the truth that comes naturally.
Letting go of the problem in his heart, Chen Qingfeng's attention returned to the live broadcast room.
"I just thought of something and fell into my mind all of a sudden, I'm really embarrassed and wasted everyone's time. After coming back to his senses, Chen Qingfeng looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room, and immediately realized that he had lost his mind, so he hurriedly explained and apologized.
[It's okay Brother Feng, I often get distracted, especially when I'm in class, I can go from class to class, Brother Feng just wandered for a while, it's not a matter at all, (βͺΟβͺ)]
[It's just a god who has been gone for a while, and it's not a person who is gone, we don't listen to the piano, so we are very happy (#^.^#) to watch Brother Feng's prosperous beauty so quietly]
[Distracted at night, is Brother Feng ...... No, no, no, Brother Feng, I have someone I like, you can't embarrass me, o(β₯_β₯)o]
[I just sneezed thirty times in a row, Brother Feng must be thinking about me!
[Stinky beauty will meet ghosts at night, Brother Feng wants to think about us Xue'er, you sisters and creatures whose attributes are unknown, let's hurry up and wash and sleep, haha]
[Brother Feng, if you really want to apologize, then come to my room to apologize, I promise, only move your mouth, not your hands]
β¦β¦
Fans don't mind Chen Qingfeng's distraction at all.
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng didn't talk about distraction, smiled, and began to talk about playing the piano and listening to the piano again.
"The next song is "The Side of the Shock", sad spring wave green under the bridge, it was a shocking shadow, it's good to listen to the name, you wait a minute, I'll listen to the song and play the score, and then send you a satisfactory song. β
After that, search for the song and type the score while listening.
At the same time, put your hands on the piano and be ready to try on the piano at any time.
β¦β¦
"Zheng!"
In no time, Chen Qingfeng stroked the strings.
After stroking, he nodded, and felt that the sound was appropriate, so he went to write the score.
Just as he was about to raise his eyes, he suddenly saw the string that was plucked and still vibrating on the stone breaker.
There was a sudden frustration in my heart, and then the whole person was stunned.
He thought about the essence of music, what the hell was it.
