Chapter 165: On the Song
The boat runs so smoothly that you forget that it is on the water.
"Du Xingshou is so aggrieved and flattering," Chen Ke didn't like to go around in circles, and said in one sentence to break what Du Qingshuang had planned: "I'm afraid there is only one reason." ”
"Qingshuang does regard singing as life," Du Qingshuang was a little surprised, she didn't expect him to be so straightforward, but she shook her head and said: "However, I waited for Gongzi this time, mainly to say sorry...... That time in the water pavilion, because Qingshuang had no way to discipline him, my servant made my son suffer criticism. ”
She slowly straightened up and said, "Qingshuang has always wanted to make amends to Childe, but if you come to visit, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to Childe." When I came to Wanshou to watch the performance today, I learned that Gongzi was also here, so Qingshuang took the liberty to invite him. As he spoke, he saluted solemnly to Chen Ke and said, "Please Gongzi Haihan." ”
"It's all in the past." Chen Ke shook his head and smiled: "What's more, I also have something wrong, I am really offended to tease Du Xingshou first." ”
"Qingshuang is a fireworks woman," Du Qingshuang shook his head slightly and said, "Why is the son offensive?" ”
"Whether people can be respected is not based on identity, but on behavior," Chen Ke said: "Just today, Du Xingshou can come here to perform, and he deserves respect." ”
"It's nothing...... Du Qingshuang shook his head and said, "It's just related to Qingshuang's background." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Qingshuang was originally a member of the Daimyo Mansion, although she was not a lady, but she was also held in her hand and in her mouth. If it weren't for the fact that Shanghu broke the mouth and flooded the homeland, and my grandmother unfortunately died one after another, I would never have been sold by my aunt. Du Qingshuang said gloomily: "The flood has hurt ordinary people the most, and I can't do anything else but hope to comfort them as much as possible." ”
"It touched Du Xingshou's sadness." Chen Ke said apologetically.
"No problem." Du Qingshuang shook his head and said, "I won't be sad if I say it." ”
"Not bad." Chen Ke nodded.
"The second thing is to thank Childe." Du Qingshuang poured Chen Ke another cup of tea and said: "Fortunately, thanks to your warning in advance, we were able to transfer in time, otherwise the loss of money is a trivial matter, and those clothes will be troubled if they are soaked in water." ”
"It's hard work, why worry about it." Chen Ke smiled and said, "If there is nothing else, we will go back first." ”
Du Qingshuang was affectionate, bit her lower lip and said, "Congratulations to the son." ”
"But before getting off the boat," Chen Ke said with a smile, "Let's talk about the word first." ”
Du Qingshuang was overjoyed, but her emotions couldn't turn so fast, and she couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and after a while, she glanced at Chen Ke with beautiful eyes and seemed to be happy: "Childe is playing Qingshuangli." "I can see that she is in a very good mood.
"Hehe," Chen Ke said with a smile: "Adjust the atmosphere...... Let me change my position. As he spoke, he changed his kneeling sitting to sitting cross-legged and said, "Both legs are numb." ”
"Next time, I'll prepare a pestle for my son." Du Qingshuang covered her mouth and smiled: "Wulang might as well sit cross-legged too." ”
Gorou shook his head and signaled that he was fine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Qingshuang loves to sing songs in my life, and every time I get a new word, it is my happiest situation. The wonderful words made by Childe, Qingshuang couldn't put it down when she saw it. Du Qingshuang's eyes lit up and said: "However, Qingshuang is stupid, and after thinking about it for several months, he can't sing it properly, so I'm really ashamed." He said with a deep salute: "I implore the son to give him advice and solve his doubts for Qingshuang." ”
"Sing it first, I'll listen to it." In fact, in Tianyin Water Pavilion, Chen Ke heard her sing this song, and he also thought seriously about the reason, but he usually can't, listen to the singer sing at close range.
Du Qingshuang readily agreed and ordered someone to take her pipa. Holding the pipa in their arms and telling the ugly, Du and the others twisted slowly, played the tune of "Mulan Ci", and then lightly opened their lips and sang: "If life is only as ...... first seen"
With the singing of the Du family, Chen Ke sipped tea comfortably, and after several months of hard work, he felt the beauty of life again.
After singing the song, Du Qingshuang lowered his head slightly and said, "Childe, is Qingshuang singing correctly?" ”
"You are everyone, naturally you will not make a mistake in singing," Chen Ke said lightly: "But don't you think that singing in strict accordance with the word card is a bit disobedient?" ”
"Exactly." Du Qingshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "There are a few places where the lyrics are sung, and there is no problem with Pingxuan, but it is not Ye Gongshang...... Qingshuang discussed with friends that Xu is the dialect of Gongzi, which is different from the tone of the official dialect. In fact, she said this to save face for Chen Ke, and she consulted many Fang families about this, and most of them believed that the talent of this song could not be hidden, but it was not rhymed, so it was not convenient to sing. Some people even threatened to teach this kid how to fill in the words according to the palace business.
"Not bad." Chen Ke nodded, and said with a secret smile, can the words filled in by the Qing people be the same as those of the Song Dynasty? Although they are all strictly in accordance with the word card, the word has eight voices and the rhythm is only evenly divided, so the word card of the Song Dynasty is only suitable for words filled in according to the pronunciation of the Song Dynasty.
And the author of this Mulan poem, Lao Qu, is a person 800 years later, and the pronunciation at that time is already very different from that of the Song Dynasty. Although Nalan uses Jiangnan Yayin to fill in the words, which is the same as the accent of the Song Dynasty, it cannot resist the erosion of time and space, and there are many differences.
Therefore, the words filled in by the Qing Dynasty people and the Song Dynasty music cards cannot be perfectly combined, and the deviation between the melody and the words cannot be avoided, and the sound inevitably produces a sense of disobedience. Even in this era, many non-Beijing literati would have the same problem with the words they filled out because of the dialect...... Du Qingshuang guessed exactly like this.
"There are two solutions." Chen Ke has received a complete Confucian education and is quite proficient in music, not to mention that he is still a master of phonology, plus more than a thousand years of knowledge, he naturally understands the crux of the problem, and also knows how to deal with it: "One is that if I modify the pronunciation of the characters for you, it will be sung in dialect." ”
"Hmm." Du Qingshuang nodded, listening to him say the second one, obviously not very satisfied with this plan...... Of course I'm not satisfied, but I sing in dialect, and I will be laughed at.
"Second, modify the original melody to adapt it to the words." Chen Ke said slowly.
"What does Childe mean......" Although his voice was soft, it fell on Du Qingshuang's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt, I saw her mouth open slightly, and she replied after a while: "Change the original tune?" "The impact is so great that she has been studying the tune for ten years, and she never thought that the tune in the law book could be changed."
How can a word be sung? First there must be a score, and then there must be words to match the score...... Why is there a strict limit on each word when filling in words? It's just to match the old lexicon. In the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Song Dynasty, no less than 100,000 new words were born, and the lyricists and musicians have always only thought about how to fill in the words that meet the norms, but no one has ever thought about letting those inherent tunes adapt to their own words.
In the hearts of the Song people, this is like, when you are a son, you must listen to your father, but you can't ask that a father listen to his son.
Now Chen Ke said, change the inherent tune and adapt it to my words, do you think Du Qingshuang can accept it? After a while, she said softly: "No one has ever done this." ”
"Why can't you do that?" Chen Ke shook his head and said leisurely: "In fact, the lyricists have the same confusion. Where the text is mainly interesting, when the four arrive, or there are beautiful words and handsome sounds available, how can they take care of the nine palaces and four tones one by one? If you have to follow the word mold, you will have the pain of suffocation and dragging, and I am afraid that you will not be able to form a sentence. After a pause, he said: "This is also the reason why it is difficult to come up with good words nowadays." ”
"No one has ever done this," Du Qingshuang was a little distracted, after all, it was a music theory concept established since childhood, how did you let her break it for a while, but she still asked first: "Please also ask Gongzi to teach me." ”
"People eat the ancients, rigid ancient rhythms, treat it as an independent body with a hard shell, regardless of the artistic conception and taste of the words, the singer sings it in a tone, which saves trouble, but it can not show the talent of the word itself, and it also makes the singer have no room to play freely.
"Why not break this shell and let the solidified rhythm flow. The beauty of music lies in its agility and uniformity, which is the stifling of music. The more Chen Ke spoke, the more energetic he said: "Breaking this layer of surgery, but also liberating the lyricist, from now on, the words and the rhythm are no longer two solids, and the music follows the flow of love words, which is the real artistic creation, not the same repetition." ”
"I don't know what to say, do you understand?" Chen Ke is really sweating, there is a generation gap of hundreds of years, and it is too laborious to express.
He underestimated Du Qingshuang, but whenever he sings, he will inevitably form his own unique singing voice in the years of singing, which is also what distinguishes them from ordinary kabuki. Du Qingshuang, as the best singer in this era, encountered the problem of music scores restricting her singing voice a long time ago, in fact, she was already standing at the door, as long as she pushed the door open, she could reach a new realm.
But if no one reminds her, she may never open this door for the rest of her life, and she will only be wronged in the original pattern. Now Chen Ke has shown the concept of singing in front of her hundreds of years in advance, which is equivalent to opening this window for her.
I saw Du Qingshuang's pretty face, excited for a while, hesitant for a while, and meditative for a while, sitting there for a long time.
Chen Ke didn't speak, so he and Gorou ate delicious snacks while waiting for her to come back to her senses.
After a cup of tea, I heard Du Qingshuang mutter. Realizing her loss, she pinked her cheeks and stuck out her tongue apologetically......
Chen Kexin said that everyone said that these Oirans have thousands of faces, and I am afraid that until now, it is her true feelings that will be revealed.
