0041 Learn to Drum Hammer Grandma
Although Mi Baizhu's appearance is still strong, his speech and demeanor are no different from those of the Tang people.
His expression was humble and polite, and before he said anything, he took out a book scroll and presented it to Li Shouli with both hands, and bowed his head and said: "Wait for this sound, although I have learned all the music, but it is only a shallow study of loose songs, daily rehearsals, small songs and miscellaneous tunes, in the catalog, please read the king." ”
Li Tong listened to Mi Baizhu's answer on the side, and probably already had some understanding of the level of this voice.
The court music and dance of the Tang Dynasty was originally expanded on the basis of the "Nine Part Music" at the end of the Sui Dynasty to form the "Ten Part Music", such as "Goryeo Ling" and "Kang Guoling", which was divided from the origin of dance music.
The inner teaching workshop was founded in the late period of Tang Gaozu Wude, and the main function of the initial period was still according to the practice of "Qing Shang" and other elegant music. For example, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was embarrassed and angry a few years after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, "I have been ordained by Heaven for seven years, and Yuefu still sings the merits of the previous generations"!
After the creation of a dynasty, the corresponding ritual music must also be gradually established. This is a very solemn political event, not an idle talk about the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Yuan was depressed and created an inner teaching workshop just to have fun and pastime.
With the gradual entry of the society into governance and the prosperity of the country, the division of "Ten Part Music" according to the origin of dance and music is no longer rigorous and appropriate, because they are also blending and influencing each other, and they are no longer distinct. Therefore, on the basis of the "Ten Parts", the standing and sitting performances were derived, which were divided according to the form of performance rather than the origin of dance music.
In this context, the original intention of the Inner Teaching Workshop was no longer obvious, and the content of the teaching and learning spread from the original "Qing Shang" to other music. For example, in this musical instrument brought by the sound person, the drum is an obvious foreign product, and such an instrument will never appear in the Qing Shang song.
It is precisely because of this kind of inclusive and integrated contact that the Yanle Daqu in the Tang Dynasty was able to mature, and a famous piece with a variety of styles was born, such as "The Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers".
Although this great song is often associated with the Anshi Rebellion and the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, it has become a symbol of Tang Xuanzong's poverty and luxury, but the millennium time is painful and difficult to trace, from the perspective of cultural inheritance, the inheritance of "Ni Clothes and Feather Song" has also allowed future generations to get a glimpse of the peak style of the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent, and has become a cultural symbol of national self-confidence.
The content of dance and music practiced by the musicians in the inner teaching workshop was enriched, and the level of the musicians was naturally divided into three, six, nine and so on. This is most evident in the Tang Dynasty, which is difficult to study due to the scarcity of historical materials in the Later Wu Dynasty.
However, based on his own knowledge, in this self-presentation of Toumi Baizhu, Li Tong also heard some clues: this musician is not qualified to play the whole song, and only learns the loose order of a part of the song.
But even so, when Li Shouli opened the book scroll presented by Mi Baizhu, Li Tong's eyes swept to the repertoire that could be performed on it was still full, and it could be seen that the skills were still relatively rich.
However, before Li Shouli could choose the repertoire to watch the performance, there was a scolding voice from his mother-in-law Fang in the main hall, saying that no one should enjoy the song and dance when they got up in the morning, so that their brothers would eat obediently first, and also give food to these sound people, so that they could recharge their energy and maintain their condition.
The family ate under the hall for breakfast, and Li Shouli was not at ease during the meal, his eyes frequently looked at the musical instruments placed in the corner, and from time to time asked Li Tong if he still remembered the scene when they were children enjoying dance and music?
Where will Li Tong remember these things. Not to mention the timing of his coming to this world, even if he was the original teenager Li Shouyi, the family suffered when he was five or six years old, and even if he gradually grew up later, who in the family would be so big-hearted at home, there is really no memory of this.
In fact, not only Li Shouli's performance was outstanding, but other family members were rarely quiet. Even the concubine Fang, who has always been dignified and serious, smiled at the corners of her mouth during the meal, and whispered to Zhang Liangyuan from time to time, as if she was recalling some old things in the East Palace.
The arrival of this voice person disturbed the mood of everyone in the hospital. Although Fang's can still hold on, he doesn't want to sing and dance early in the morning and cause criticism, but after that, everyone is also distracted, intentionally or unintentionally revolving around that sound, including Li Tong.
Unlike a few elders who have also played and watched it, Li Tong is already a precarious emperor and grandson when he comes to this world, and he really lacks good memories in his mind.
In addition, as a later generation, he was curious about the life style of the previous generation, so he didn't rush back to the room after breakfast, and squatted with Li Shouli to play with a wide variety of musical instruments, and occasionally made some slightly melodic sounds, which was unbearable, and he didn't realize that this kind of appearance of not seeing the world was a little funny.
Finally, at noon, seeing that the winter was sunny, everyone was also here, and Fang's did not want to go against the will of the people too much, so he ordered to set up a curtain music platform in front of the courtyard of the corridor, so that the palace people in the courtyard had the opportunity to enjoy the dance and music.
It's just that when choosing the repertoire, Fang's casually ordered a few, and the head of the Mi Baizhu was embarrassed and said no, which made Fang's face a little gloomy, and waved his hand and said Let them pick up the repertoire first.
The musicians each took their instruments and spread them out in front of the courtroom.
Li Tong couldn't help but smile when he saw Mi Baizhu pick up the drumstick wrapped in red silk and walk to the drum. The drum is a very important musical instrument in Yan music, and Li Longji, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, is good at this instrument, and is called the chief leader of the eight sounds.
Li Guinian, a musician in the Tang Dynasty, was also good at this skill, and said that he had discounted fifty drumsticks to practice his skills, while Tang Xuanzong laughed and said that his discounted drumsticks could already fill several cabinets.
At present, Li Xiaosan is only a little doll of three or four years old, far from the scenery of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Ming after him. However, Li Tong believes that he is also the emperor and grandson of the fallen emperor, and he also deeply feels the boredom of life in the forbidden period, and it is also a good pastime to be able to learn a musical skill to cultivate sentiment and enjoy himself.
When Li Tong was in reverie, a melodious and loud drum sound had already penetrated his ears, which made people's spirits lifted. Li Shouli, who was sitting beside him, clapped his high-fives and cheered loudly, and his emotions were already excited.
The appearance of never seeing the world really made Li Tong ashamed to be with him. But soon, he was also attracted by the drumming that gradually became faster, and he had no time to complain about Li Shouli again.
Later generations of drum music have long been lost, and can only be traced from the pile of old papers. Now Li Tong heard it with his own ears, and he had to sigh that there was indeed a fact under the fame, although it was just a simple percussion instrument, but the timbre of the drum was transparent and pure, and under the changing rhythm of the musician, the drum sound was rapid and changeable, and it quickly mobilized people's emotions.
In order to facilitate the performance, the musician Mi Baizhu has taken off the slightly heavy robe, at this time the two hands of the mallet, the movement is steady and powerful, when the rapid recognition and even the arm shakes so that it is difficult to catch its trajectory with the naked eye, under such a rapid tapping, the face soon became flushed, the chest began to rise and fall violently, the eyes widened and the expression was a little hideous.
Seeing this scene, even if Li Tong hadn't heard other people's performances, he probably could understand that the drum skills of this rice white bead should not be high.
Song Jing, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, is also good at drumming, and commented that "the head is like a green mountain peak, and the hand is like a white raindrop", which can be regarded as a drumming expert, the body and head remain motionless, such as the stability of the green mountain, and the two arms hold a mallet to fly, such as a shower of rain and wind, and at the same time, the rhythm must be clear, and the drum sound can not be blurred because of the urgency, so that people cannot distinguish the interval between the front and back.
To do this, skill is also important in addition to strength. And the head of the rice white bead in front of him can barely be regarded as having a rapid and changeable rhythm, but the demeanor is greatly lost, which shows that it is still based on brute force, lack of skills, and is not elegant.
But in addition to the sound of drums, Li Tong thought of more. After coming to this world, he was plagued by physical weakness, and he was afraid that there would be no catastrophe, and he was taken away by illness like his predecessor.
Even if he doesn't consider his own physique, his grandfather Li Shimin and grandfather Li Zhi were both tortured by wind diseases when they were alive, and they should have certain genetic hidden dangers and cannot live long.
Li Tong definitely didn't want to survive the political struggle, but he fell under the ravages of illness, so exercising was also placed in a very important position by him.
Before playing a game with Li Shouli, this kid didn't start lightly or heavily, and Li Tong, who was often beaten, was in unbearable pain, so he had to send more homework to retaliate, so that Li Shouli didn't dare to practice with him anymore.
His current body is still not suitable for too intense exercises, and military dramas such as angle fighting are too sensitive. Now it seems that learning to do the drums is a good way to exercise.
As soon as this idea popped up, Li Tong couldn't help but think, Li Xiaosan of his fourth uncle's family is keen on learning drums, does he also have such thoughts? Exercise well to survive his grandmother?
Moreover, the drum is a musical instrument that requires arm strength. In addition to cultivating sentiment, with enough arm strength, learning the bow and knife will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
At the same time, he is not sensitive to this matter, even if someone wants to sue him for blackness, he can't say that he wants to hammer his grandmother to death with a drumstick?
Of course, if there are conditions, it is not impossible, and Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty can take down his cousin Yuwen Hu with a wat board. So at the critical moment, you still have to be open-minded, as long as the opportunity is ripe, why not?
Learn, you must learn!
Li Tong had just made up his mind here, and the music in the field changed again, the sound of the drums stopped abruptly when the rhythm was the most urgent, and the emotions that everyone had been mobilized and piled up were about to collapse, and suddenly a string sounded, and the sound of pipa music followed.
