On Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of lights are lit up, firecrackers and fireworks are heard from time to time, every house, every household, at this moment, is very lively, laughter and laughter, children run around among adults, from time to time to run to their parents to ask for snacks on the table.
On TV, preparations for the final moments of the royal show were being played, some people were excited, some people were nervous, some people were running around, and when eight o'clock in the evening arrived, the royal show officially began.
The first thing that started was a quiet performance of ancient musical instruments, and the nine girls on the stage, dressed in ancient Chinese costumes, played their instruments quietly.
There are cave flutes, bamboo flutes, pipa, guzheng, erhu, pan flute, and small xun and other ancient musical instruments, the bleakness of the dong flute, the joy of the bamboo flute, the crispness of the pipa, the emptiness of the guzheng, the grievance of the erhu, and the desolation of the xun -
Even in the lounge backstage, watching the elegant performance on the TV, listening to the musical instrument that seemed to tell the history of the ages, Huang Tian was completely immersed in it, and unconsciously quietly burst into tears.
This kind of performance, in Huang Tian's previous life can not be seen at all, these ancestors have been handed down from generation to generation, long ago passed in the war, this life, the rise of China, the strength and self-confidence of Huaxia have made these ancient skills are well inherited, and with the support of the country and the royal family, continuous innovation, continuous progress. The performance of Chinese national musical instruments is unique in the whole world and is well-known all over the world.
These girls playing, the oldest is thirty, the youngest is only eighteen years old, they all like ancient instruments since childhood, like to play, the youngest has also practiced instruments for more than ten years, they are really understand these instruments, like these instruments players.
It's not just Huang Tian who is fascinated by the performance of these musical instruments, whether it is the live audience of the royal family show or the Chinese audience in front of the TV, everyone has long known that the first program of every performance is the performance of ancient musical instruments, but every combination and music are different, sometimes it makes people enthusiastic, sometimes it makes people feel emotional, sometimes it makes people happy and inexplicable, and every performance makes everyone reminisce for a long time and cannot forget.
Of course, some people are a little dissatisfied with playing some not very joyful music for the New Year, but in this regard, the person in charge of the royal parade just solved the problem with a blank face: "This is the rule!" ”
Yes, the opening of the Royal Parade is the performance of ancient musical instruments, and the theme is not limited to joy was set by His Majesty the Emperor when the first Royal Parade was held.
At the beginning of this performance, in addition to the meaning of having fun with the people, the emperor also encouraged the development of national culture and took the essence of the world's skills to present gifts to the people of the world.
At that time, because everyone could not create music that satisfied the royal family every year, many of the music after that were created by the arrangers on the ancient songs and remnants of the predecessors, and then slowly everyone began to create them with the long history of China, as well as when recalling the ancients and various famous deeds in history, so these music can also be regarded as a remembrance and tribute to the ancients.
At that time, everyone paid more attention to the quality of the music, is the connotation of the music, so no one cares whether it is joyful or not, this is like the Chinese New Year will have the behavior of worshiping ancestors, this is a kind of respect and remembrance for the ancestors, and the performance began with the oldest musical instrument in China to play the cultural history of China, which is also a kind of respect and remembrance of thousands of years of Chinese culture, just like the "filial piety" that China has always worshipped.
For the performance of this instrument in the royal show, except for a few people who feel that it is a little "out of place", more people agree with it, it is liked, even if it is sad to listen to, tears to hear, but everyone listens to the peace of mind, listen to the respect, because this is the sound that our ancestors in the past generations of Chinese have heard, we all listen to the performance, as if we are worshipping the ancestors with these music, this is serious, this is sincere.
Since coming to the world, Huang Tian has found that in addition to liking rock and roll, his favorite is these famous musical instruments, each of them has countless stories in it, and each of them can perform countless stories.
Huang Tian's home, Avril watched Huang Tian's parents gently close their eyes and quietly listen to the music on the TV, Avril seemed to see tears from the corners of the eyes of the two elders, but she didn't get up to do anything, and she didn't make any sound.
Although she has never seen many of the instruments played by the girls on TV, Avril thinks these sounds are so good, although the whole is a song with a desolate sadness, but it does not give people the feeling of pain and pain between love, but an indescribable, historical vicissitudes of life.
Avril does not know much about Chinese history, although she began to learn Chinese by herself because of Huang Tian, and also began to understand China, but for the history of China, when she heard about 5,000 years, she was stupid, so she consciously let go of history, as long as she learned simple Chinese. She didn't plan to be a professor of history anyway.
At this time, although Avril didn't understand why Huang Tian's parents were so emotional, but watching the women on TV wearing all kinds of beautiful but rare clothes, and then playing such beautiful music, Avril's heart was also infected by the music to a feeling that she couldn't speak, this feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable, but it made her reluctant to plug her ears.
Until the end of the music and another cheerful piece of music began on the stage, the scene of the royal parade was still immersed, and no one was surprised, this is not the first time such a situation has occurred, so what should everyone do.
In front of the TV, in every household, some old men began to tell their families, especially their grandchildren, the history of China, and the stories he just thought of from music.
Everyone who has feelings thinks of different stories, but they are all the stories they are most familiar with, so they are very smooth and skillful to tell.
And at Huang Tian's house, Huang Tian's father Huang Jie also took a sip of tea to ease his emotions and started the story he thought of, which was naturally told to Avril who was curious.
This is a story of Su Wu shepherding sheep, when Avril heard that in the history of China, there was an official like a diplomatic ambassador who herded sheep in a foreign country for 19 years for his mission, and he was unswerving, and the surprised slightly open mouth made Huang Jie speak more energetically.
When the time came to ten o'clock, the first Sinking-Sinking Band to take the stage as the modern song and dance unit stood on the lifting platform of the stage, and then began to rise rapidly as soon as the previous show ended.
In a few seconds, as soon as Huang Tian stood firm, the music immediately sounded, Huang Tian raised his head and glanced at it, then skillfully played the guitar and sang slowly into the microphone in front of him.
"Look, it's Xiaotian!" Liu Li patted Huang Jie's hand beside her and said with some excitement.
"I saw it, it's not the first time you've seen your son on TV, why are you so excited, there's still Xiaowei at home." Huang Jie stared at his son on the TV and said insincerely.
"Hehe, yes, yes, I'm excited." Liu Li doesn't know Huang Jie's character, and she doesn't care, as for Xiaowei, she is almost a family, why care so much.
Avril's name, Huang Jie and his wife felt strange when they called it, so they directly replaced it with Xiaowei, and Avril was also very satisfied with her easy-to-get Chinese name, and thought it sounded very good.
Although it is not the first time for the three of them to watch Huang Tian on TV, every time, they are still staring intently at the person on the TV, every time they watch it, Avril feels that Huang Tian is more handsome, and Huang Jie and his wife are sincerely happy and proud.
The song "No More Hesitation" is too familiar to Huang Tian and them, and the same is true for fans in Huaxia, many fans hum softly along with Huang Tian on TV directly at home, full of joy.
At the performance site, the queen looked at her daughter who was humming softly and said in a low voice, "Don't hum, be careful of being caught by the camera, you are a royal princess, pay attention to your image." ”
"Oh-" Yang Ling'er reluctantly agreed, and then sat quietly to watch the performance.
Speaking of which, the Shen-Yuan Band was unexpectedly selected by the royal family in the first round, or with the help of Her Royal Highness Yang Ling'er, the princess, the original royal family's selection of the shortlist, will not choose modern singing and dancing, these categories are generally left to everyone to decide, and because of Yang Ling'er's "plea", the queen made an exception to choose them, otherwise the Shen-Yuan Band still has to go through the people's choice to vote before they can decide whether to enter the royal show.
For such a small matter, naturally no one exhaustively investigates them to the end, and the queen mother chooses them, in addition to Yang Ling'er's naughty request, His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince like them, which is also an important reason.
So in this performance, His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always disliked coming, also attended, which made the queen very happy.
Soon Huang Tian, who had successfully finished the performance, returned to the lounge, and then they began to call home, and now they can't leave yet, and they can't go home until the end of the performance, and everyone goes on stage together to thank them.
In addition to the urban area, children in other towns and rural areas encounter programs that they don't like to watch, they run out to light firecrackers, play with fire, you chase me, even if the weather is cold, it can't stop the children's playful laughter, and the pursuit of happiness.
The new year is quietly coming!
