Section 163 Tang Dynasty Military Music

Guo Xingsan, the commander of the baggage battalion, accompanied Feng Xiaobao to inspect the baggage barracks, where people's rations, horses' grain and grass, and all kinds of materials were piled up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Run!" The commander gives a verbal order

The stout sergeants of the five fires (one fire and ten people) carried large logs and ran vigorously on the snow-swept playground, and the rest of the sergeants cheered loudly outside the field, cheering up their respective teams, and the situation was enthusiastic.

"Not bad!" Feng Xiaobao said and asked the staff officer next to him, "Have you written it down?" ”

"Write it down!"

Guo Shengsan said: "The baggage soldiers are hard and monotonous, and it is necessary to have more means to increase their interest and adjust the atmosphere!" ”

"It's still Guo who joins the army and governs the army well!" Feng Xiaobao praised.

They walked over to another group of soldiers, and they were singing, and the military songs were loud and loud, so that the soldiers could cheer up.

Guo Xingsan smiled at Feng Xiaobao and said: "Captain Feng's military song is good, we are full of strength when we sing!" ”

Yes, how can we miss the fine tradition of our army's loud and bright military songs in later generations, Feng Xiaobao concentrated his strength and spent great efforts to create the military song system of the Feng legion, which is divided into three parts:

One is ancient military songs, such as "Qin Feng and No Clothes":

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son!

The military song handed down from the Qin period is an impassioned war song, full of profound patriotic feelings and heroic spirit, inspiring generation after generation of soldiers to sacrifice their lives to defend the country and bravely kill the enemy.

There are a lot of words in ancient poetry, which are enough to be transformed into military songs, which belong to the spring and white snow.

Because the knowledge and ability of the soldiers are generally not high (Feng Xiaobao's Mandarin is not much better), it is not so easy to sing, so there are some military songs changed into folk tunes, which are the second type of military songs, which are lower riba people, sometimes vulgar, similar to "******", which cannot be put on the stage, but the soldiers love to sing!

For the second type of songs, Feng Xiaobao acquiesces, as long as he doesn't sing them in front of the officials and the people.

Therefore, it is still Feng-style vernacular military songs that are very popular and popular, that is, the third category, that is, the main melody, for example, the most majestic is the "Song of the Army Soul", the lyrics are as follows:

Forward! Forward! Forward!

Our team to the sun!

Stepping on the land of the motherland,

Burdened with the hope of the nation,

We are an invincible army.

We are the Emperor's arms,

We are the children of the people,

From fearless, never yielding, fighting bravely,

Until the enemy is destroyed,

The banner of Datang is flying high.

Listen! The wind is howling,

Listen! How loud the victory song is!

The soldiers rushed to the battlefield to kill the enemy,

Ten people will go to the frontier of the motherland in full steps,

Forward! Forward!

Our procession to the sun,

To the final victory, to the glory of the Tang Dynasty!

As soon as this song came out, it shook the hearts of the army, and its tune was magnificent, resolute and heroic, and enthusiastic and unrestrained. The lyrics and songs are integrated, and after hearing it, it can really be said that the audience is silent, and it is unanimously approved as the main military song of the military government.

Feng Xiaobao listened to the large ensemble of this song, first his eyes were moist, and finally he couldn't shed a string of tears by himself.

Listening to this song, it is as if he has seen the world's first square, where Dang's army, the people's mighty army, and the victorious army sail by like a rolling torrent under the accompaniment of this song, but he can no longer see it! Can't hear it anymore.

Although this situation has been there for a long time, this scene is difficult to repeat!

Reinterpret this song and create a new glory in another time and space.

Why did he cry, why did he feel so much, Yang Chengxian had a startling conclusion in private: "He should have seen it in another place, and when he sang this song, there was a mighty and powerful army marching......

"But in the world, our Tang army is the most powerful......," Cheng Boxi asked in confusion.

"No, there's another army!" Yang Chengxian put his right thumb up.

"Oh my God! Oh, my God! Cheng Boxi was shocked!

Soon after, there was a rumor that Feng Xiaobao was a star in the sky and descended to earth!

Whether others believe it or not, at least the brothers around him and his own army believe it.

In addition to this song of the soul of the Tang Army, Feng Xiaobao has "Loyal to the Country", which is the song "The wolf smoke rises, the river looks westward, the dragon rolls, the horse hisses, and the sword is like frost!" ......" (the original lyrics were to look north, changed to look west: referring to the Western Regions and Tubo in the southwest, and the Tang Dynasty War mainly focused on this)

This song is catchy, overflowing with great loyalty to the country, the soldiers like to sing it, and the officials also like to hear the soldiers sing this song.

With the southern conquest and northern war of Feng Xiaobao's military group, this song was sung throughout the Tang Dynasty, and in the end, all the armies of the Tang Dynasty would sing it.

There are other military songs, all of which are written by Feng Xiaobao (but he never admits it), with distinct images, smooth melodies, solid tones, and regular beats, which concentrate on the heroic and majestic military might of the Tang Empire army, with an indomitable fighting style and a powerful force that destroys the withering and decaying.

Feng Xiaobao Group officially set up a military band, with more than 50 people, of which 20 are the main drummers, responsible for the big drums, and the rest sing military songs and use musical instruments to play in front of the army to inspire morale and fight bravely to kill the enemy!

Feng Xiaobao's first political task for the military band was to be able to play "King Qin's Breaking Array Music", which is a song that praises the current emperor, Emperor Taizong, and cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness.

When playing "King Qin's Breaking Array Music", the big drum shook the sky and spread for hundreds of miles, the momentum was majestic, moving the heavens and the earth, and the momentum was outstanding.

It is a symbol of the heyday of the Chinese nation, and it is very inspiring when playing.

In addition to large-scale performances, Feng Xiaobao enabled the "Allegro" rap art, which is made of two bamboo boards, which can be sung while percussion, which is flexible and colorful, and it is very fast and easy to arouse the emotions of soldiers and improve morale.

Some of its artistic expressions sound like ups and downs, and there are changes; Some are slow and fast, passionate and generous, and the more they sing, the more energetic they become, which arouses strong resonance from the audience

This is Feng Xiaobao after returning to Luoyang, in the palace of Princess Qianjin, that is, cut two bamboo boards to knock, Princess Qianjin personally wrote more than ten minor tunes, played by the Fu Music, and then, the best Fu Music Manager Li Qinghuan gave Feng Xiaobao to serve in front of the army.

Feng Xiaobao just proposed, Datang's vocal music is extremely developed, and even the blue is better than the blue, and the Allegro score is rich all of a sudden.

At this point, there is one more thing in the Datang musical instrument score: Allegro!

For example, let's take a piece of Allegro:

Look at the Tibetans; (Papapapa)

Riding into my country; (Papapapa)

Kill my people; (Papapapa)

robbing the people of their wealth; (Papapapa)

Ask me about my knife; (Papapapa)

Say yes or no! (Bang Bang Bang) (The sergeants below must have answered: "No yes!") ”)

The bamboo board is knocked up, and the song is sung while knocking, sonorous and powerful, refreshing and encouraging, and the encouragement of a denunciation and counterattack against the Tibetan people is completed, how simple it is!

And again: the army advances, production grows an inch, discipline increases, and the battle is invincible!

Just two bamboo planks knocked out!

The army prefers to use it, because it is too convenient, easy to carry and effective, and the creative requirements are not high, as long as it is easy to slip away, the sergeants make a large number of allegro works in their leisure time (there are also some relatively low allegro works that make the commanders frown, but often pretend not to know), which plays a great role in boosting morale.

In addition to Allegro, there is also a trumpet military music is gradually taking shape, and the army often beats the drum to march and sing the gold (gong) to collect the troops, but both things are a bit cumbersome, because Feng Xiaobao said the principle of "trumpet", and someone helped to realize it.

The military horn has its practicality: the structure is simple, easy to carry, the pronunciation is loud, and it can be transmitted far.

Similar to military horns, there are also wind instruments, such as flutes, flutes, etc.

The military band gradually took shape and occupied an important place in the army, it was a kind of mental high-spirit, so that the morale of the soldiers under Feng Xiaobao's command was often as much as three percent higher than that of the ordinary army, and they were full of enthusiasm when killing the enemy, and they forgot their fatigue and were full of enthusiasm when they did their work.

Anyway, Feng Xiaobao's army was very lively when they were advancing, attacking, and camping, and the music atmosphere was strong, which stimulated morale, surprised friendly troops, and terrified enemy troops, creating a solid foundation for their victory! (To be continued.) )
