Chapter 203: Secret Feelings
Han Chenxing opened a pair of big clear eyes and asked in confusion, "What exactly is the pear orchard for?" β
Pore Frame said gently: "Liyuan is the institution where we trained musicians in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a place that specializes in training actors and teaching entertainers here. Tang Xuanzong personally selected and taught musical talents in Liyuan, and his main responsibility was to train musical instrument performers, and the Taichang Temple, which specializes in ceremonial music, and the inner and outer teaching workshops that served as strings of singing, dancing and scattered music, and the opera actors were called Liyuan disciples. That is, to engage in some musical entertainment activities that are not conducive to orthodox ritual music that interests you. Tang Xuanzong has a great talent for music, and his sense of musicality is also very sensitive, he not only knows the rhythm of music, but also loves French music, and chooses three hundred children to sit in the department and teach them in the pear garden. If there is a mistake, the emperor will feel it and correct it, and the disciple of the emperor's pear garden can be known to be set up by the court of Xuanzong. Hundreds of palace maids are also disciples of Liyuan, living in the north courtyard of Yichun. Si is the beginning of the pear orchard. β
Han Chenxing said with a smile: "Since ancient times, emperors have been versatile people and have musical talents. β
Pore Frame Le said: "Of course. We have two pear orchards in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, one is north of Guanghua Gate and the other is next to Penglai Palace. In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an Pear Garden had the 'Forbidden Garden Pear Garden', in the forbidden garden in the northeast outside the Fanglin Gate in the north of Chang'an City, it was the real pear orchard in the Tang Dynasty, and we couldn't enter. The music of the Tang Dynasty, especially the royal music, was more of a ritual means to express the dignity and inferiority and the harmony of distance and proximity, and etiquette and music were always linked, so that under the tradition, the entertainment function of music was secondary. Although the pear garden is not the traditional sense of the temple court music, but only for the emperor to enjoy, the courtiers may still be able to enjoy some of the grace of heaven, the ordinary people may never have the opportunity to appreciate the royal private music of the pear garden, at that time, folk music lovers like Li Xian, really curious, even risked the risk of killing the head to hide outside the palace wall to secretly remember the music. After An Lushan occupied Chang'an, he also specially searched for Liyuan disciples to play for him, in order to show that he also had the respect of the Son of Heaven. β
Han Chenxing saw him staring at the stage and intercepted the conversation, and hurriedly continued: "Listen to what you say, Liyuan can't be regarded as a complete entertainment venue, it is still politically branded, and it is a royal exclusive and honorable institution. β
Pore Frame looked at her and said softly, "Yes! Now Liyuan is associated with the art of opera, and has become synonymous with art organizations and artists, and is widely used in the people, which can be regarded as truly classified as entertainment. Later, after the vigorous advocacy of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the nature of the pear orchard changed, from a simple fruit orchard to gradually become a pear orchard for the children of our Tang Dynasty, a pear orchard for practicing singing, dancing and opera, and becoming the first comprehensive art academy in history that integrates music, dance and opera. β
Han Chenxing said with emotion: "I once learned from the book that Tang Xuanzong, Lei Haiqing, Gongsun Auntie and others have all served as Le Yingjun. They are not only famous artists with high talents, but also tireless mentors. I've been in Chang'an for so long, and Donglang knows that I like music and dance, but he has never talked about this place, let alone take me to see it. You have the honor to bring me here to see me today, which has opened my eyes and benefited me a lot! β
Pore Frame frowned and said: "Because you look like a big beauty, my father-in-law may be afraid that you will be caught by a certain Linglang, or accidentally bump into the emperor, and be summoned into the palace, and never see your shadow, so I dare not take you to this place to show your face!" β
Han Chenxing said innocently: "Han Donglang is not such a man, not to mention that I am not a beautiful woman, I am only a shallow learner, he doesn't need to do this." β
Pore Frame said noncommittally: "Maybe he doesn't have time!" In his poem "Watching the Disciples of Gongsun Lady Dance Sword Weapon Walk", the poet Du Fu praised the heroic and unrestrained dance posture of Gongsun Auntie, 'Shine like Yi shoots nine sunsets, and is like a group of emperors and dragons; Come like thunder to collect anger, like the river and the sea condensing the blue light'. And in the preface of this poem, I said that there is a calligrapher named Zhang Xu, since watching Gongsun Auntie's sword dance, his cursive has made great progress. Tang Xuanzong relied on these outstanding creative staff and directors to create a large number of performing artists. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, economic and cultural development reached an unprecedented height. It has not only created a group of well-known writers and poets at home and abroad, but also made outstanding achievements in the fields of dance and music. The pear orchard, which occupies an important position in the history of opera, was born in the fertile soil of our Tang Dynasty, I don't know if you have heard of it? β
Han Chenxing praised him: "It turns out that Tang Xuanzong has created an elegant and refined music venue, I am a lonely and unheard person, Donglang is afraid that I will return to Yihong Mansion, and I have never mentioned music." It turns out that you also like music, which can be said to be a familiar acquaintance in a foreign country. When are you coming to play and I'm going to sing, can you do it today? It's been a long time since I've been singing or dancing, and my throat and hands and feet are tickling. β
"I'll take you in first, if you can, I'll let you sing it, and I can also play it for you to your heart's content, I don't know if you can sing "Breaking the Array Music", can you sing it?"
"Of course? Actually, as long as you can play, I can sing the song with the lyrics, don't believe it, try it! β
"It turns out that you have this talent, I really have no eyes. There was no one standing guard at the door, and the emperor was definitely gone. I'll go in first and see, are there many people? Don't walk away at the door. β
"Well, got it, don't keep me waiting too long."
The pores went in and glanced around, and saw that everyone was concentrating on practicing singing and dancing, and hurriedly came out and dragged Han Chenxing's hand in.
The two of them sat together in an inconspicuous corner and enjoyed the song and dance, and the pores kept explaining the song and dance and other related knowledge to Han Chenxing, and Han Chenxing listened to it with taste.
Pore Frame said with great interest: "Gold, stone, silk, bamboo, skull, earth, leather, wood, it is called the eight sounds." The sound of gold and wood is made into music. Tang Xuanzong reigned for many years, good at music, if the banquet is held, that is, the imperial government building. Hundreds of palace maids were ordered to attack the thunder drum by themselves, for "Breaking the Array Music", "Taiping Music", and "Shangyuan Music". Those who are ordered to be conscripted and have great merit to sacrifice the remaining prisoners will be prepared to guard the east gate on the day, such as offering prisoners to the regular ceremony. Its Kaile uses cymbals to blow two, flutes, pipes, flutes, pipes, cymbals, and drums, two people per color, and 24 singers. Musicians and other horses hold musical instruments, and the second is displayed, such as the style of the halo book. Advocate the order to lead, branch before the soldiers and horses are captured. will enter the capital gate, advocate cheer up, and repeat four songs such as "Breaking the Array Music". "Breaking the Array Music" and "Responding to the Holy Period". Our Tang Dynasty sΓ©ance with the word "Yu He" with the winter solstice mound, welcome the gods with "Shunhe", send the gods with "Guihe", the emperor line with the "Taihe" round bell palace, the song to lay the jade silk with the "Su He" without shooting the Lin Zhong Yu, welcome the "Yonghe" round bell with the yellow bell of the "Yonghe", drink the blessing with "Shouhe", use the "Fuhe" round bell palace, send the text and dance out of the Yingwu dance into the "Shuhe" round bell are in the Lu Shang, the role of the martial arts dance "Kai'an" round bell is without shooting, and the emperor Zuguang Emperor's room is dedicated to the "long hair" Huang Zhong Palace. The word is the same as Zhenguan's "Long Hair", and the emperor drinks blessing with "Yanhe" Huang Zhonggong. "Showa" is used for the ceremony, "Jiuhe" is used for the first time of public opinion, "Xianhe" is used for Bailuo, "Xianhe" is used for receiving pictures, "Jinghe" is used for Yingqi, "Qinhe" is used for dedication, "Dehe" is used for martial dance, "Zhanjing" is used for singing and laying coins, and "Chenghe" is used for the crown prince. Emperor Taizu Jing's room dedicated the use of "Daji" Taituo Palace, and the words are the same as Zhenguan's "Daji". Emperor Yuan of the Dynasty dedicated the "Dacheng" Gu to wash the palace, and the word is the same as the Zhenguan "Dacheng". Emperor Gaozu Shenyao's room dedicated the "Da Ming" Ruibin Palace, and the word is the same as the Zhenguan "Da Ming". Emperor Taizong's Wenwu Sheng's room dedicated the use of "Chongde" Yize Palace, and the words are the same as Zhenguan's "Chongde". Emperor Gaozong's imperial room dedicated the "Juntian" Huangzhong Palace, and the word is the same as that of the light house Juntian. Yizong honored the emperor's room and dedicated the "Chengguang" Huangzhong Palace. I talked so much at once, maybe you can't remember much, but when I get home, I give you a book to read, and I can remember them all. β
Han Chenxing stared at him and asked, "Have you brought all the music books you just said to your father-in-law's house?" β
"No, it refers to my own hometown, my home is hundreds of miles away at the foot of the porous mountain, in front of a wooden house is a stream about five meters wide, behind the house is a verdant green mountain, green mountains and green water are all seasons, there are layers of green terraces, opposite the creek is a staggered farmhouse pastoral, planting all kinds of crops, the whole home is picturesque, the flowers and trees all over the mountains are dizzying, beautiful, full of praise. If you stay for a while, you'll fall in love with the beautiful countryside. The small mountain village is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, there is no trouble of competing for fame and fortune, every family lives the life of male farmers and women weaving, abundant food and clothing, few people are sick for many years, the neighbors and villagers help each other, have lunch together in the four seasons and eight festivals, eat and play together, give people a feeling of universal celebration, can be described as a paradise, make people linger, the heart yearns for miles. β
"Look at what you said, I seem to see that beautiful little mountain village, when you have the chance, you may wish to take me on a tour."
"Yes, this time Han Qiuchan will go home after giving birth to a full moon, if you want, you can go together."
"Well, there's still a month, let's see the situation then! They seem to be coming to an end, why did the singing and dancing suddenly stop? β
"Maybe it's almost time, can you understand the morning singing and dancing? What songs were sung? Do you hear that? β
"I've been listening to you, but I don't understand a few songs. Please don't hesitate to give us advice. β
"I'm going back to teach you well, I'm already hungry, I just drank a bowl of millet porridge in the morning, and I told you so much, and I have already digested it. Let's go! Hurry home, maybe your father-in-law is in a hurry to find you. β
The pore frame looked like a lover, hugged Han Chenxing's waist, and slowly left the pear orchard.
Han Chenxing pushed away the porous hand and said, "Let go of me, it's not good to be seen by people who hug and hug like this on the street." β
"No one knows us, everyone thinks we're husband and wife. Walk around the streets of Chang'an City and then go home, okay?"
