"Dragon Boat Festival, aren't you going out?" Wu Laosan was very disappointed.

Others are even more so.

"Really don't go out." Zheng Lang said.

The brothers had to leave disappointed.

Zheng Lang really doesn't have time to go out, there is a diligent path in Shushan, and there is no end to learning from the sea. In addition, he had to be busy studying the engraving and painting on the bamboo tube, as well as practicing piano skills, painting, and secretly practicing several new calligraphy. Where to find time to hang out?

After sending away a few good brothers, Zheng Lang said to Chen Siniang: "Let's take piano lessons." ”

Chen Siniang walked out with the piano in her arms.

Every time she took the piano used by Zheng's father, Chen Siniang was very nostalgic.

The skill of the guqin player is a part, and the qin itself is also a part. For example, the board is mainly sycamore, catalpa, and fir, but if you use paulownia, because of the wood problem, the timbre life will be very short, so it is best to use white paulownia. It is better to have old fir trees, preferably Emei old cedars, and it is possible that the special topography of Mount Emei has different effects on the wood. The famous Lei's Qin in the Tang Dynasty was deliberately selected in the old forest of Mount Emei.

The ash tire must be mainly staghorn deer or eight treasure ash, but there are folk craftsmen in order to consider the cost, add a large amount of tile ash, the timbre is also easy to loosen, but the life is very short. The paint surface is also important, a good paint surface will be resistant to corrosion, heat, water, oil, etc. These are the three most important basic elements, and the skill of the luthier is an important one. A guqin is made, whether it is good or bad, at least it is necessary to ensure that it does not resist the fingers, does not sand sound, does not play the board, and the timbre and volume of the scattered sound, press the tone and overtones should be unified, and the sound should have a sense of sinking, and it is better to not scatter and be long.

On this basis, you can carefully select, the position of the strings, too high will resist the fingers, playing the piano will tire the fingers, too low is easy to produce sand sound. The surface of the piano should not be too flat, too flat, and it will be difficult to press one, two, three, and four strings on or above the seven emblems. The string spacing should not be too wide or too narrow, too wide is not easy to control, and too narrow fingers will be tightened. The length of the strings should be appropriate, and later the length of the strings was standardized, but there was no unified standard for the length of the strings in the Song Dynasty, and the players often bought and chose according to their own needs. But in fact, it is too long, the volume is there, and when playing certain tones, it is very difficult, and the strings are often broken.

This is a common problem of the ancients, if you want to have a brighter timbre, often the string length exceeds the standard, and the skill makes up for the disadvantages of the string length, and the result is that the "Zheng" string is broken. Too short is even worse, the tension is insufficient, the vibration is not enough, and the sound quality and volume cannot be produced. The surface of the instrument should be smooth, otherwise it will produce a rustle when it vibrates. Whether the overtones of the emblem are good, the size of the emblem is moderate, and even small rather than large. Yueshan is too thick to affect the sound quality, too thin and unstable. The lack of curvature of the gum is easy to hurt the strings. The goose feet should not be too high or too low. The piano should not be too thick or too thin.

There are all sorts of other sophistications.

The violin holder himself should also pay attention to the fact that because of the non-standard violin-making, it is generally difficult to play a good tune with a new piano, and the more familiar the piano, the more he can play the piano with his own skills. Regional problems, Chuanqin or Nanqin to the north must be moderately tidal, otherwise it is easy to crack. There will be a period of adaptation to the south of the northern qin, and the timbre will be very stuffy during this time.

Therefore, there are many pianos, but there are very few good ones.

Looking at Chen Siniang's expression, Zheng Lang was speechless.

This is the relic of the father, its origin is also very large, it is the Tang Dynasty Lei Jia Lei Wen personally cut out the Yuquan Qin, excellent workmanship, beautiful appearance, pure sound quality, loud timbre. Father spent 1,800 gold to buy it! That is, my own shop, five or six years of profit to buy this piano. Besides, it is a relic of his father, no matter how much Chen Siniang likes it, it is not easy to give it away.

Or buy a piano from the market, the price of an ordinary guqin is not expensive, you can buy one for only a few gold, it is not as good as the piano in Chen Siniang's hand. Or some well-made guqins are also available on the market, such as the famous pianos made by Cai Rui and other qin masters in the Song Dynasty, which are also worth hundreds of gold, and some even thousands of gold.

It's so expensive, although his family background is okay, he is not the kind of top rich man with a lot of money, a few hundred gold, even if he doesn't care, he can't promise it casually.

Said slowly: "If I have a future in the future, I will pay attention to you and bring you a good piano." ”

"Nu Na dare, I just like it."

"Let's play the piano."

"Hmm."

The piano sounded loud, and before the song was finished, suddenly a hearty laugh came from outside: "Virtuous nephew, I'm so interested." ”

"See Liu Zhizhou," he bowed, looking at an old man in his fifties dressed as a servant behind him.

"This is Uncle Liu from Master Yan's mansion."

"Uncle Liu."

"Hmm." The old man bowed, then looked at him.

"Please," he brought the two into the house and let the four children serve tea.

"Nephew, how have you been learning the piano lately?"

"Liu Zhizhou, it's so difficult." Listening to people playing the piano, I feel very elegant, to myself, only to know how difficult, seven strings and seven tones, each string has thirteen overtones, not only that, the left hand also has to cooperate, change the treble, so the music produces scattered sounds (empty string sounds), press tones, walking tones (moving the left hand to produce the sound) and overtones, good to listen to is good, but the difficulty of playing is very great.

"If you want to play the yaoqin well, it won't happen overnight."

"Yes."

"Besides, the piano is just a thing to rest and keep your surname, and your studies are the right way."

Because of the arrogance of the guqin, the Tang Dynasty once excluded it from the elegant instrument, this concept in the Song Dynasty greatly changed, can be used as a reader, Confucian scriptures, poetry and strategy, is the royal way, this is the main means of exchanging fame.

"Yes, the later students just come to learn the piano in their spare time, and they usually focus on reading and practicing calligraphy."

"What have you been studying lately?"

"Mainly four or six bodies, and occasionally hunting hundreds of schools."

"It seems inappropriate," Liu Zhizhou changed color a little. It's not that the hundred schools of thought are bad, one person's energy is limited, and it's too late for their studies, and besides, there are hundreds of schools. Now one of the little emperor's teachers, Feng Yuan, after taking the Jinshi examination, and then in the distribution of the scholars of the imperial court, he said a word that scared the examiner.

I've got all the five classics, so I'll tell you which one.

The Five Classics are the Book of Poetry, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Period. There is also a music, which is very controversial for this scholar, who believes that the Book of Poetry is music, and music is the Book of Songs, and the sentences in the Book of Poetry are the same as the Song Ci, which is itself a score. However, there are still people who believe that there is indeed a book of music, most likely some text annotations, plus a score like a guqin score, in which Sima Qian quoted some words from the Analects in the "Historical Records" as proof. Both of these statements have had a market for thousands of years.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, only one song "Music Record" remained, which was also incorporated into the "Book of Rites".

This mastery, but not seen, the Five Classics have many people have read, and even some people remember their surnames well, spend a few years, can recite it backwards, but the worst thing is that Haohan's boundless commentary, only included in the canon are "Zhou Yi Justice", Wei Wangbi, Han Kangbo Note, Kong Yingda Justice, "Shangshu Justice", Kong Anguo Biography, Kong Yingda Justice, "Rite Justice", Han Zheng Xuan Note, Kong Yingda Justice, "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan Justice", Du Pre-Note, Kong Yingda Justice, "Spring and Autumn Ram Biography Notes", He Xiu Note, Xu Yanshu, " Spring and Autumn Grain Liang Biography Notes", Fan Ning Note, Yang Shixun Shu, not to mention that there are more other commentaries, just these few books, it is enough to hurt people's brains.

If a person can understand one sutra in his whole life, it is a great thing, not to mention the five classics.

Then take the exam, it will not be like Cui Youjie to take the test Zheng Lang, and he still has the intention of exhortation and supervision in the exam, this is really difficult, who told you to have a big tone, all ask about the difficult places. In the end, the examiner walked away in shame......

It's amazing!

This is already a rare genius, but your kid is not enough for the Five Classics, and there are hundreds of schools of thought.

Although he believed that Zheng Lang was smart, Liu Zhizhou immediately stopped it in time. After all, Zheng Lang is his "backward".
