Chapter 056: Art Garden Workshop (11)

The instrumental ensemble, which has never been seen before or since, vividly expresses the ten-sided ambush formation set up by the Han army and the complete defeat of the Chu army and the battle process of forcing Xiang Yu to kill the Wujiang River; Soul-wrenching.

The decisive battle of Qixia was a famous battle in Chinese history, in which Liu Bang's Han army and Xiang Yu's Chu army launched a bloody hunt for the world; During the decisive battle, Liu Bang surrounded Xiang Yu's 100,000 people with an absolute advantage of 300,000 troops.

Late at night, Zhang Liang gave a, and the soldiers sang Chu songs; The Chu army felt cornered, forcing Xiang Yu to lead 800 cavalry to break through and flee overnight.

The Han army pursued with 5,000 cavalry, and finally launched a duel on the bank of the Wujiang River; Xiang Yu was outnumbered and drew his sword to kill himself, and the Han army won the final victory in the war.

The instrumental ensemble shows the fierce battle situation of "Ambush on All Sides", making people feel as if they are there.

The sound of the duel between the two armies created in the movement is earth-shattering, like a roof tile falling, slowly observing, there are golden sounds, drums, swords and crossbows, the sound of people and horses, and for a long time, there are the voices of Chu songs of those who are resentful and difficult to understand.

The sad and strong are the generous voice of King Xiang's sad song, farewell concubine; There is the sound of chasing horses in Daze, and there is the sound of King Xiang killing himself in Wujiang; Yu rode and trampled on the sound of the king of the contention, so that the listener began to struggle, both sad, and finally wept without way, and its touching charm touched the nerves.

Liu Min listened to the high-pitched instrumental music, leaving Cai Wenji and Wen'er far behind; Climb the Qin Peak first.

I saw that on the summit of Kuodada was a huge orchestra of hundreds of people; Liu Min stood there stunned.

Cai Wenji and Miss Wen'er saw that Liu was agile and rushed to catch up; Ascending the Qin Peak, I saw Liu Min standing in front of an instrumental orchestra of hundreds of people like a wooden stake; It's also jaw-dropping.

Cai Wenji reacted quickly and stepped forward to explain to the orchestra: "Seniors, the little girl is a real phoenix Niangniang; The slave Cai Yan was ordered by the master of Xuanji Cave to come to Wuzhi Mountain to listen to the instrumental music! ”

Cai Wenji said that standing in front of the orchestra said a few thousand blessings deeply, and said to Liu Min: "Zhenfeng Niangniang, this is the Wuzhi Mountain Qinfeng Instrumental Orchestra; Bringing together the top masters of China, it is to give you a fun performance! ”

Liu Min hurriedly and humbly said a thousand blessings, and then clasped his hands into fists and said, "Little girl Liu Min, bother your seniors; The little girl He De how could she have shocked so many predecessors and sages, it was really a bit unexpected! ”

An elder came out of the instrumental orchestra, holding a guzheng and said deeply to Liu Min: "Zhenfeng Niangniang has arrived, and she is missing in Xia Kongqiu!" ”

"Kongqiu!" Liu Min screamed in his heart, looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that the forehead of the person who called himself Kong Qiu was raised high, like a hill.

Liu Min was stunned, and was silent in his heart: "Sure enough, it's Kong Qiukong's second son, Kong Sage!" How is he also in the instrumental ensemble? It seems that it is still the head! Yes! Kong Lao Er is not only a politician and educator, but also a musician and pianist! ”

Liu Min said sharply in his heart, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Confucius with a "poof" and said: "The saint is on the top, please accept the people's daughter Liu Min to worship!" ”

Kong Qiu laughed, helped Liu Min up from the ground and pointed to the instrumental orchestra of hundreds of people: "The old man is entrusted by the master of Xuanji Cave to invite all the famous instrumental musicians in Chinese history!" ”

As he spoke, Confucius introduced several elderly pianists to Liu Min.

Liu Min was surprised to find that among these piano players, there were a large number of sages and musicians such as Shi Yan.

Liu Min knew in later generations that Shi Yan was a musician when he was the king of Shang; Once for the king of Zhou, the king of Zhou Wu when the master Yandong fled to the water and died.

But Shi Yan can appear on the Qin Peak of Wuzhi Mountain, it must be that the Emperor of Heaven takes pity on his musical talent; Let him follow Confucius, this is really a strange phenomenon.

Liu Min visited Shi Yan and met Shi Juan, Shi Juan was the court musician of Wei Linggong in the Spring and Autumn Period; Staying on the Pushui on the way to Jin with Wei Linggong, Linggong heard the new sound of drums in the middle of the night and thought it was a ghost; He ordered Shi Juan to record it, and after the Jin Kingdom, Shi Juan played this piece for the Jin Ping Gongyuan Piano and did not end; was interrupted by Shi Kuang, a musician of the Jin Kingdom, saying that it was the beautiful voice of the king of Shang; and said that whoever hears it must be sharpened, and therefore he shall not play.

Shi Juan can be summoned by Confucius, and may have long abandoned the sound of glamour.

Liu Min's third bow was Shi Xiang, who was a Lu national music official in the Spring and Autumn Period; He had a deep relationship with Confucius.

Liu Min's fourth knock was the state dove, and the state dove was the music official of Zhou Jingwang; The fifth visit was Chang Hong, to whom Confucius once asked for fun.

Liu Min's sixth knock was Shi Kuang, who was a famous court musician in the Jin Kingdom; Blind, but proficient in tuning and extremely sensitive to the sense of tone; "Yang Chun", "White Snow" and other qin songs are his works.

In the end, Liu Minyou met with the two masters, Li Yannian and Li Guinian.

Li Yannian was a highly accomplished musician in the Han Wu Dynasty, born as an advocate; Both parents, brothers and sisters are musicians, and they are artists who take music and dance as their profession; Representative works include "Beauty Song".

Li Yannian is a bosom friend and is good at singing and dancing; When he was young, he was sentenced to prison punishment for breaking the law, and then went to work in the dog prison.

In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Li Yannian was summoned because of his good sound, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appreciated it very much, and handed it over to the minister for discussion, saying: "There is still encouraging music for folk sacrifices, but now there is no movement for suburban worship, is this appropriate?"

The ministers said: "In ancient times, there was music in the heavens and the earth, so that the gods could be sacrificed with rituals."

Another person said: "The Thai Emperor made the plain girl play the fifty-string serpent, and the tone was sad, and the Thai emperor couldn't help but cry, so he broke her seer into twenty-five strings."

Therefore, in order to win the victory against South Vietnam, a race was held, prayers were prayed and sacrificed to Taiyi and Houtu, music and dance were started, and singing children were recruited, and the production of 25-string Se and Gong Hou Se began from this.

The imperial court took this opportunity to build a temple to worship heaven and earth and set up music, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Sima Xiangru and others to compose poems and praise.

Li Yannian always adhered to the will of Emperor Wu, composed music and sang these poems, which became new variations.

Li Guinian was a famous musician in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and often sang in aristocratic and wealthy families.

During the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Guinian, Li Pengnian, and Li Henian all had literary and artistic talents, Li Pengnian was good at dancing, Li Guinian and Li Henian were good at singing, and Li Guinian was also good at blowing the basket, playing the drum, and was also good at composing.

Their "Weichuan Song" was particularly appreciated by Tang Xuanzong, and because of their superb performances, the princes and nobles often invited them to sing, and each time they received thousands of rewards.

The three brothers of Li Guinian built a mansion in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and the scale even exceeded that of the prince's mansion.

After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Guinian went to the south of the Yangtze River, and sang a few songs every time he encountered a beautiful day; It often makes the listener cry.

Du Fu also went to Jiangnan and heard Li Guinian's singing at a banquet; wrote a poem "Jiangnan in the Year of the Turtle": It is common to see it in King Qi's house, and Cui Jiutang has heard it a few times before. It is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a good time to fall in the flowers.

Li Guinian later went to Xiangtan, Hunan, and sang Wang Wei's five-character poem "Acacia" at the banquet held by the Xiangzhong interview envoy: Red beans are born in the south, how many branches will be sent in spring? May you pick more, this thing is lovesick.

sang a song of Wang Wei's "Yichuan Song" again: The breeze and the moon are bitterly lovesick, and the prodigal son has been in Rong for more than ten years. Recruit people to go to the day of the courteous instructions, return to the Yan to the number of hours attached. expressed the wish of Tang Xuanzong Nanxing.

But at this time, Tang Xuanzong was already in his last years, Li Guinian had been favored by Tang Xuanzong for many years as a disciple of Liyuan, and his relationship with Tang Xuanzong was very accessible, he suddenly fainted after singing, only his ears were still a little hot, and his wife couldn't bear to bury him; Four days later, Li Guinian woke up again, and finally died of depression.

Liu Min met with many sages in the music world, and Confucius conducted the 100-member orchestra to perform "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix"; Before the song ended, I saw that the birds that were flying, running, and chirping all held their breath and looked at Liu Min's side solemnly.

Liu Min realized: Didn't she eat a noodle phoenix, then she is a phoenix - the king of birds......
