Chapter 121: Tap Dance

'Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. The wild trails are dark, and the river boats are bright. Xiao looks at the red wet place, and the flowers are heavy in the official city. Li Chen looked at the rain outside the window, and casually read out Du Fu's spring night rain.

But there was a drizzle outside the window, and the voices of children frolicking were heard, and they sang, 'May 5th, celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, Bliss, mystical dance.' On May 5, Paradise presented a new dance, the premiere of Datang, unique, remember to see it. ’

Hearing this voice, Li Chen smiled, the way the children's songs are promoted, after being used by Li Chen, many businesses seem to see the opportunity, and they will use some small things to let children sing nursery rhymes to help their stores publicize. As a result, now the children are invited to sing and promote, and the price has risen a lot.

Du Ziwei is talking about the spring night, now in broad daylight, it is still close to the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is not in sync at all. Li Chen was rarely lame, and was immediately complained about, "I don't know how to pretend to understand, there are many poems in response to the Dragon Boat Festival." ’

But you can't deny that it's good rain. Li Chen smiled and looked back at the visitor, "Dragon boat rain, the rain before the Dragon Boat Festival, isn't it said to be a good omen?" ’

"Then again, little red, you've grown a lot taller." Li Chen noticed something and said with a smile, but Xiaohong's face turned red, and then under Li Chen's gaze, even his neck turned red.

"People just try it on, try it on for the eldest lady first......", after speaking, his face turned red, Kaden Kaden left, Li Chen was not in a hurry to follow, he knew what would happen later, sure enough, Xiaohong didn't take a few steps before her feet were crooked, twisted to the point that she was not tight, and the center of gravity of the whole person was unstable, and she was about to fall.

Of course, Li Chen would not sit idly by and watch this happen, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xiaohong in his arms, "It's not hurt." He looked at Xiaohong with a gentle expression, but in exchange for a small punch from Xiaohong, "It's not all your fault for making these shoes." ’。

Well, his dead cat, Li Chen swallowed it. It's not wrong to blame him, who made him make something like high heels, and then Xiaohong originally condemned Li Chen, saying that he was a prodigal son of flowers, and Qinglou Bo Xingren would actually make such a thing, and said that he would never wear such embarrassing shoes.

'You swear? ''What you swear, you won't wear it if you say you don't wear it.'' ''This is something I worked hard to come up with.'' ''Hmph, pervert. As a result, Le, swore that he couldn't wear it, and he didn't wear it yet.

'Ahem.... Xiaohong's small punch was a beating, but it was more like flirting and scolding, but just as Li Chen wanted to continue, a cough interrupted them, and then the initiator covered his mouth and said, "Excuse me, when I don't show up, you continue." Can this continue? Li Chen raised his head... Xiaohong swooped away, far away from Li Chen.

'Now that you're here, get ready to get started.' It's not far from the Dragon Boat Festival, and now I don't dare to practice tightly, and there is not enough time. Li Chen said helplessly, "Wait and see." Yang Er didn't do anything bad at all.

'Zheng Zheng. This is no longer the house where Yang Er lived before, this should be regarded as a banquet hall, the venue is not small, Yang Er and Li Chen sat in the center, and immediately, the sound of the pipa sounded fiercely.

The three dancers, dressed in Hu costumes, entered the arena with colorful steps, they walked very rhythmically, and with strange sounds, when they lined up, they began to dance officially, which immediately made Yang Er's eyes light up.

In the music, in addition to the pipa, drums are added to make the whole rhythm more brisk, and the dancers step on the dance steps, accompanied by intense and high-spirited music, which makes people can't help but dance to the beat. Yang Er shook her head while responding to the beat, and then she couldn't sit still and jumped with her.

'There's something wrong with this shoe. Yang Er is worthy of being an expert, not only music is difficult for her, but she is also very good at dancing, but watching the dancer dance for a while, she quickly grabbed the beat and the way, and danced along, but she found that she couldn't dance like that, and immediately found that there was something wrong with the dancer's shoes.

'What kind of dance is this?' Yang Er jumped for a while, and found that there was something wrong with this shoe, and after not wearing the special leather boots on their feet, they couldn't dance at all, so they gave up and returned to their seats, and continued to enjoy the dance, and after a while, the dance was over, Yang Er applauded and asked Li Chen, "Kick dance." ’

'Tap dancing? It's quite appropriate, it turns out that you planned to perform this during the Dragon Boat Festival. It's definitely refreshing. However, Yang Er looked to the side, "It's incredible, they actually talked about pipa and drumming..." ’

'Hehe, didn't a certain family say it?' A month, too long. Li Chen smiled proudly, Yang Er wanted to speak and stopped, she really wanted to ask, is there any secret recipe? She sent a few people like Li Chen, and she knew that she couldn't say that it was too bad, but it wasn't a natural attitude.

Don't say a month, four or five months can be familiar with a score, and it would be good to be able to play it proficiently. As a result, now, in less than half a month, they are already proficient in playing and beating. It's simply magical.

Yang Er wanted to ask, is there any trick? But it's hard to say, this kind of trick is all secret transmission, a sect, or a secret transmission in a family, not to mention the external transmission, even the internal is not something that anyone can learn if they want to learn.

'Want to learn?' Seeing Yang Er sitting still, as if he was sitting on the stove, Li Chen asked with a smile, usually Yang Er is always light and cold, and when facing people who are closer, he will be a little more active, but it is really rare to want to speak like this.

'Really, can Li Jun teach me?' ''Well, that's just a trick.'' ''The teacher is above, please accept the disciple's worship.'' Yang Er immediately got up and left his seat, went down to the front of Li Chen, and made a bow on the spot.

Li Chen was startled, and hurriedly helped her up, not letting her bow down, 'Don't be like this, don't be like this, get up, get up.' Here's a point, you don't know if you have forgotten it. It was very common for the Tang Dynasty to bow down. Because it is a habit to sit on tatami mats, even if you see ordinary relatives and friends, you have to kneel and worship. It's just that the two sides worship each other.

In fact, kneeling in that way of sitting cross-legged is nothing more than bending down and bowing. And Yang Erxing's bow looks similar to kneeling, but the key is that the speed must be slow, and if it is too fast, it will be insincere. Li Chen had time to stop it.

'It should be so, the teacher is willing to teach Yang Er such a precious trick, and Yang Er should treat him with courtesy. ''If you're willing to give it to you, let's think we have to discuss it with each other, and if you really want to give me something back, give it to more people.'' ’

Is that okay? Such a precious secret. Yang Er was surprised, "Yes, when Cao created a subtractive character spectrum, didn't he have a broom to cherish himself?" ’

At that moment, Li Chen taught the stave to Yang Er, the teaching material was ready-made, in order to teach those vocal people, he had already prepared a lot of ready-made white paper printed with staves.

This way is so wonderful, in the future, musicians don't have to be literate, even if they don't understand words, they can learn to play the piano and play music just by looking at the symbols, and this score is also simplified a lot, it is more convenient to record, Li Jun is really a genius in the world. From now on, Li Jun will be the first to contribute to the spread of music. After a class, Yang Er was amazed, and he actually used such praise to make Li Chen embarrassed.

However, Li Chen also feels that he has contributed a lot, music, how can Chinese think of using rigid words to record the way of talking, for thousands of years, pragmatic Chinese have not thought of a relatively simple way, so that music can be spread in a faster and concise way. Now with this stave, it is much easier to record and copy, and maybe it can help more ancient Chinese music to be passed on.

It's just cranky, and I'm embarrassed when you say that, and alas, why did you kneel down again. Unexpectedly, after Yang Er admired it, he knelt down for Li Chen again, and bowed respectfully three times, Li Chen hurriedly jumped down and helped her up.

This is Yang Er's substitution for the world's voice, thank you Li Jun for his selflessness and contribution, and the music will be prosperous in the future, and the first credit should be Li Jun. This really embarrassed Li Chen, well, should I say that this stave was transmitted from the West? In other words, when did the Westerners invent the staves?

But come to think of it, maybe it wasn't the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty still had close exchanges between the east and the west, and if the Westerners had invented the stave, they should have preached Middle-earth a long time ago.

Thinking of the origin of the stave, Li Chen couldn't help but be fascinated. There is no stave in Middle-earth, and Chinese musicians have always used words to record musical notation. The stave had to be introduced, and it would not be until the Qing Dynasty or even the Republic of China.

Thinking of this, Li Chen put his mind at ease and said that the stave was invented by himself. Because he thought that although he was not familiar with when the stave appeared, by pushing the ideal, at least until the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the cultural exchanges between the East and the West had not been broken, and a large number of Hu merchants came across the sea in the Song Dynasty. And in the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo got something, everyone knows it. China cut off communication with the West, and it was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty that the Mongol Empire collapsed, which led to the severance of communication between the East and the West.

In other words, before this, there was probably no five-line spectrum, so that the five-line spectrum did not flow into China until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, Li Chen really guessed correctly. The line of the staff can be traced back to the ninth century, and he used lines to represent the height of the scale, but at that time there were no tadpole symbols, or words.

The stave used in modern times took hundreds of years of intermittent development before it really took shape, with more and more lines and simpler records. The real maturity of the stave appeared, and it was not until after the death of the Yuan.

'It's dancing boots. After introducing the staves, Li Chen began to introduce tap dance again. Tap dancing must be paired with special dancing shoes, just like ballet. There are iron pieces underneath, but one is set on the outside and one is set on the inside, and the high heels for Xiaohong are just a finished product. Li Chen wants this special kind of iron-inlaid boots.

Dance steps, you also know, the difference is that more people are needed now, and the more people there are, the more difficult it is to be neat, but this is how to show the charm of this dance. I'll leave it to you after that. Speaking of tap dance, the most famous is the Dahe Troupe, Li Chen only knew about tap dance before, and it was through the Dahe Troupe that he learned the charm of this dance.

For the Riverdance, the deepest impression is that the movements are neatly arranged, with dozens of dancers in a row, as if they are the same person, with rhythmic agitation music, it is easy for people to fall into it, and it should be in line with the taste of the Tang people.
