Chapter 127: The Song of the Neon Clothes and Feathers

Duanmu Ci's songs are actually quite good, after all, he has a teacher who likes to sing.

In those days, the Master sang with someone else, and if that person sang well, the Master had to ask that person to sing it again and sing it with him. The so-called "the son sings with the man and is good, and the opposite will be made, and then the harmony" is so.

Even when he was seriously ill, he was singing, "Taishan is bad!" The beams and pillars are destroyed! The philosopher withered! It can be seen that Master is indeed a music enthusiast...... Although it is a bit disrespectful to the Master to describe it in this way, it is still true. Back then, the master enjoyed the music of "Shao" in the country of Qi, and he didn't know the taste of meat in March. The master studied music with Lu Guole and Xiangzi, and was conscientious, and his attitude made all sentient beings embarrassed.

In the Tang Dynasty, "good people" would not take music as a profession, only "bad people" would, until the Ming Dynasty, there was still a "lowly" household registration of "music households". Duanmu gave the pseudonym Li Guinian, and did the opposite, dedicating the art of the qin to the Son of Heaven, and the sound of Gong Yu to the Gongqing.

Duanmu Ci closed his eyes and pondered, erasing those figures who were drinking, beating, groaning, or singing from his mind, leaving only a coquettish silhouette.

He seemed to see that in the banquet in the Daming Palace, the palace maids kept coming and going, pouring wine and cloth dishes on the low table of the guests, and then the concubine Niangniang brought a team of dancing girls into the hall, dancing with the sound of the piano.

It was really a gorgeous dance, the white clothes of the dancers were like white clouds, the clouds were rolling above the golden palace, every movement was in line with the rhythm of the beat, and every line of singing was full of the elegance of the neon dress. The ministers were fascinated by it. Even His Majesty Xuanzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, shook his head and shook his head, taking a sip of wine from the Western Regions from time to time, and the glass luminous cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

And he hid behind the bead curtain and hugged the pipa. Accompaniment for the chaise.

"Ahh A coquettish cry suddenly interrupted the rhythm of the music, and the dance stopped.

Duanmu Ci couldn't help but be a little angry, who was so bad that the scenery was burning the qin and cooking the crane? He stared at it, and saw that Yuhuan, who was captivating the country and the city, was sneering at another palace beauty, "Sister Meifei, you stepped on Yuhuan's skirt." ”

Oh, it turned out that Concubine Mei accidentally stepped on the skirt of Yuhuan, who was leading the dance in front. But maybe it's not "accidental", maybe it's intentional? The concubine entered the palace, and Concubine Mei fell out of favor. Some tricks are not impossible. However, Concubine Mei has always been virtuous, and she will not make such a small trick as not in the stream.

Just as the two of them were repacking their skirts and preparing to dance again, His Majesty Xuanzong suddenly spoke. "That's it. The song and dance are broken, and its rhyme is difficult to continue, so let's leave it for next time. "It's a pity.

The ministers here are also very regretful, after all, there are not many opportunities to see the concubine dancing in person, I missed this time, and I don't know what year and month it will be if I want to wait until the next time, pity, pity!

Duanmu Ci put down the pipa noncommittally. He was the grandmaster of Liyuan, and His Majesty and Niangniang often called him to rehearse songs and dances together. So he didn't see the graceful figure of the mother.

"Mr. Duanmu, Mr. Duanmu!" A not-so-white palm shook in front of his eyes, pulling Duanmu Ci's thoughts back thousands of years ago, "What do you think, thinking so much?" I won't be silent when I call you a few times. ”

Duanmu Ci lowered his eyelids, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Eat!" Chu Xinsu said confidently, "The sky and the earth are big, and the food is the biggest." It's finally noon, how about we go out to eat? Recently, a new hot pot restaurant has opened near the school, and it looks very good, how about we try it? It's also kind of a wind and dust for you. ”

It's been almost a week since I've been back to China, and you just remembered to pick me up and wash the dust......

Duanmu Ci waved his hand unlovingly, "Forget it, I've been unwell lately and can't eat hot pot." You and Mr. Qiu are going to eat. ”

"Oh yes, you're sick." Chu Xinsu had a suddenly realized expression, "Then you really can't go out to eat with us, otherwise it won't be good to infect us." ”

What do you say......

If he said this to Akishinomiya-san, someone's head would probably have moved...... Duanmu Ci felt that he would probably know how this kid died in the future.

Chu Xinsu swaggered out of the office, and his very arrogant back was really attractive, at least very attractive to Duanmu Ci, because he found that he was very good at going up and beating a stuffy stick......

Forget it, out of sight and out of mind, after a certain arrogant back disappeared at the door, Duanmu Ci came back to his senses and began to think about "Ni Dress and Feather Dance".

The Chinese are very romantic, at least the thinking is very romantic, the ancient king of Chu just had a very shy dream, and actually deduced a beautiful story of Wushan Yunyu. Every great hero who can stand up to the sky and dominate in the future, when they are young, will meet a gray-haired old man who foresees the future very wisely. And the old men all looked similar, Duanmu Ci was very suspicious that those old men were actually all alone......

As the pinnacle of Chinese romance in the Tang Dynasty, "The Song of the Feather Clothes" is naturally no exception, and there is also a romantic ...... Unreliable legends.

Legend has it that His Majesty Xuanzong dreamed that he followed a Yuehua Avenue step by step to the sky and traveled to the Moon Palace at night. Hearing the fairy music in the sky, the fairy in the neon dress and feather coat danced, the laurel tree stood upright, and the white rabbit ran out. The fairy's singing voice is mysterious and beautiful, the dancing fairy dances beautifully, and the Guanghan fairy personally congratulates the Holy Son of Heaven on his long life.

After His Majesty Xuanzong woke up, he remembered the scene in the dream, and summoned the astrological officials of the Taishi Bureau to interpret the dream, and the answer he got was Xianqi. His Majesty Xuanzong was overjoyed and began to recall the song and dance in his dreams, hoping to recreate the scene of the Moon Palace in his empire. So he kept thinking about it, even when he went to court during the day, he still carried a jade flute in his arms, while listening to the minister read the book, while secretly pressing the hole of the jade flute below, composing the tune, and finally with the help of the concubine, he reproduced this "This song should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world".

However, "Li Guinian" knows that this statement is pure nonsense, and it is nothing more than a few boring literati who have nothing to do.

In fact, this dance music is the translation of His Majesty Xuanzong in Luoyang Sanxiang looking at the distant daughter mountain, but when he saw the mountains undulating and the smoke and clouds were swirling, he was full of reverie and fantasies, so he got inspiration and finally composed "Neon Clothes and Feather Song".

However, this dance music is indeed very immortal, but it is true, because this is a song composed by His Majesty Xuanzong for Taoism, which is used to play and watch when Lao Tzu is sacrificed in Taiqing Palace, of course, the fairy atmosphere is lingering.

However, this song was lost after the Anshi Rebellion, and Duanmu couldn't bear it, so he rededicated it to the imperial court, and it was lost again. Later, the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Houzhu reproduced this song and dance with his outstanding musical talent and Xiao Zhouhou, and then it was lost. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Kui discovered the eighteen sections of the score of the Shang tune Nishang song, and kept these in his "Baishi Daoren Song".

Today's "Ni Shang Feather Clothes Song" is based on the fragments of Dunhuang music scores of the Tang Dynasty preserved in the Dunhuang Zangjing Cave, as well as the Zheng music interpreted by the Japanese Zheng music collection "Renzhi Yaolu" which includes the Zheng songs of the Tang Dynasty, and the first piece of music in the "middle preface" part of the famous Tang Dynasty French song "Ni Shang Feather Coat Song" discovered by Jiang Kui, a lyricist of the Song Dynasty.

Tear down the east and make up for the west, beyond recognition. The reason why Duanmu Ci did not reproduce this song was because he felt that except for the Tang Dynasty, the rest of the dynasties were not worthy of performing this song and dance.

But it should be fine now...... After all, the feudal era has passed.

But who will lead the dance? The lead dancer was the concubine back then, and now ......

Maybe Su Wuyan is good? Duanmu Ci suddenly thought. (To be continued......)
