Chapter 90: Musical Innovation Lingering
Zu Xiaosun didn't care about the expressions of the two, invited the two to sit down, and began to talk about it, Li Chengqian and Wujie both listened attentively and carefully, in fact, Li Chengqian mainly wanted to know what kind of skills this person had.
After listening to Zu Xiaosun's introduction, the two also admired from the bottom of their hearts, so much knowledge, even by rote memorization, it is not simple, not to mention, talk eloquently, and comment at will. At this time, Wujie and the prince also began to devote themselves wholeheartedly, constantly searching from their own memories, and the three of them started to explore the mode.
For songs, the three of them started from ancient ritual music, to Yuefu poems, word cards, music cards, all the way to Peking opera, and finally discussed later popular songs and bel canto songs. For the rhythms, from yin and yang, five tones and twelve rhythms, all the way to the seven-note scale, simple notation, staves, chords, and finally symphonies, rock and roll, etc. For dance, starting from the sacrificial dance of the Han people in ancient times, it has been the customs and dances of various ethnic groups and regions, and even when it comes to square dance, ballroom dance and other dance forms and styles in later generations. For musical instruments, from the qin, pipa, bells, drums, cymbals, flutes, suona, erhu shengguan, guzheng dulcimer, all the way to the western trumpet, violin, until the piano and band of later generations.
In fact, to put it bluntly, these two people have seen and heard a lot of music knowledge and musical instruments, as for the specific structure and principle, they don't know anything, but where does Zu Xiaosun know this, Zu Xiaosun looked at these two, dumbfounded, shocked, although most of these two also heard, but this also made him admire, he was listening and recording at the same time, and kept urging Li Chengqian to sing two sentences of Peking Opera, so that Li Wujie sang a pop song.
Look at the sky is past noon, the time is not early, the key is to enter the palace to reunite with his parents and brothers, Li Chengqian and Wujie returned happily. At this point, the practical role of music, opera, singing and dancing gradually took root in my mind, and a development plan for the arts gradually took shape in my mind.
In terms of education, he has been jumping up and down, forming gangs to carry out promotion, and engaging in direct sales in tandem everywhere, and he has forgotten the role of music, song and dance, and if he promotes opera and music and dance throughout the country, then the propaganda and education problems that used to worry people will no longer be a matter of stuck.
The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and plum blossoms celebrate the New Year. The new year is coming in the laughter of the children and the sound of firecrackers, of course, this is also one of the benefits of the royal children, the firecrackers made of gunpowder are not for sale, specially supplied by Li Chengqian, and they are basically not seen outside.
For Li Shimin, every year is the same appearance, but the difference is that he has more children, and the mental outlook of officials is better than in previous years, which shows that the situation of the country is improving, and the living standards of the common people are gradually improving.
Looking at the big boy standing there full of sunshine leading a group of frolicking children, Li Shimin was very pleased. The biggest change in the past two years has come from his eldest son. What this kid did was too surprising, and he had cleared the obstacles for his career before, but in fact, he mainly wanted to see how far Li Chengqian could develop.
At first, it was just because of doting, indulging him to do it, and trying to give him the green light in the government, and help him more in terms of personnel, but then he was out of control, and he couldn't see the way out, to be honest, this child's current development has made him unable to touch the depths, especially the iron guys called mortars that were given to him before the end of the year, which really surprised him.
I have seen the power of this thing, if the number of mortars is sufficient, with grenades and crossbows, then on the battlefield, how many iron cavalry is not enough to kill it, as for the siege, it is even more handy. And those who use these only need a few well-trained crossbowmen and artillerymen. He has seen big scenes, and when it comes to real military talent, Li Jing is no more than himself, so Li Chengqian's weapons make him even more jealous.
Looking at the half-grown boy in front of him, who was still able to sing and dance at the court meeting just now, and was in the limelight, but at this time he was able to play quietly with his younger brothers and sisters, Li Shimin was in a trance for a while, and he didn't know what to say in order to express his love for this child. Li Chengqian looked at the emperor in the distance staring at him, with a salivating face, but his heart was crooked, this emperor was old man, eighty percent of him was beating his own idea again, he had to be careful and couldn't be fooled.
If Li Chengqian could think that Li Shimin was in a daze because he liked himself, he would definitely run over and take the opportunity to blackmail, just like singing and dancing on the main hall on the first day of the new year, Li Chengqian's performance, everyone was stunned, and the whole audience was shocked. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just to plagiarize other people's poets and immortals into wine, and then sing it in Peking Opera:
You don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns.
You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk.
Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone.
Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop.
Sing a song with you, please listen to it for me.
The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time. The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name.
In the past, King Chen feasted peacefully, and fought wine for ten thousand years. What is the owner's words, he has to sell the right gentleman.
Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you.
These poems were integrated into the New Year's dance by him with Peking Opera, and then, a righteous and round men's line appeared on the stage:
In the yellow land, many heroes, with one enemy and hundreds of people are not afraid.
People are not cowardly, the enemy will be bloody, look at the blood of my Chinese man.
The blood of a boy is self-heroic, and his pride runs through his chest and heart like iron.
Carrying a golden knife in his hand, wearing a white jade jue, he is hungry for a beautiful chieftain and thirsty for Rakshasa blood.
Children's love, and throw it away, Hanhai Zhi, only this decision. ……
Compared with these, what King Qin broke the formation, it was simply terrible. Even Li Shimin was infected on the spot, and he echoed the beating, and for a while, the atmosphere in the court reached the highest point. The heroic poems and melodious singing tones are like the sound of heaven in this era, and they have truly reached the lingering sound for three days.
What Li Chengqian didn't expect was that his singing voice was perfectly copied by the musicians and musicians of the music workshop, Zu Xiaosun and others, and became the most popular tune in the capital for a while.
As for the matter of the theater, he didn't tell Li Shimin, but just asked Wujie to handle related matters, use his name, and use Tiantang Weekly to recruit and publicize.
