Chapter 30: The Music Begins
"Your Highness, since ancient times, you have not been ignorant of your own heart, not fulfilling your own feelings, and not exhausting your material resources, and the three can be the heart of heaven and earth, the life of the people, and the benefit of future generations." Lin Feng followed Li Yu to the study, borrowed a few miscellaneous books on "Gewu" and "Zhizhi", and nagged Li Yu again before leaving.
"Mr. Schelling's teachings today. These words are kept in mind. Li Yu gave Lin Feng a deep salute.
"Don't dare, don't dare, kill Lin." Lin Feng hurriedly returned the salute.
It was already unitary, the sky was getting darker, and the darkness was getting darker, and the subordinate Li Li knocked on the door and woke up Lin Feng, who was drunk in the book.
"Mr. Lin, His Royal Highness King Zheng is about to set off, and I specially asked the villain to invite Mr. Lin." Li Li said softly.
"I know, Xie Luxie, I'll be there soon." Lin Feng put down the book in his hand, tidied up the clothes on his body, and walked out of the house quickly.
The car shook lightly, Li Yu and Lin Feng sat in the same carriage, and outside, Liu Cheng and the coachman were still sitting side by side.
"His Royal Highness King Zheng, Lin wants to ask you about something, I don't know if it's feasible?" Lin Feng bowed his hand.
Finally waited, Li Yu almost cried bitterly, these days, he has been here with Lin Feng as a listener, learning knowledge, opening up his horizons, this is what a humiliating and uncomfortable thing for him who has been praised as a genius since he was a child, today, I finally heard Lin Feng say the word "ask for advice", for him, it is equivalent to the immortal sound in the eternal loneliness.
Li Yu's expression was solemn, he straightened up, and said solemnly: "Mr. Lin, please speak." ”
"I see that His Royal Highness has a lot of music score books in his study, but he knows very little about it, dare to ask His Highness, for music, since ancient times, what notation does my Chinese nation have?" In fact, although Lin Feng also practiced the electronic piano for a period of time in later generations, and could watch the simple score and play a few songs, he did not know much about Chinese music notation, only knew that the Dao of Gong had a ruler notation, and the notation of Chinese characters in the Dao of the Dao mainly corresponded to do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and si respectively with gong, shang, jiao, qingjiao (and), Zheng, Yu, and Changgong (change); In the ruler spectrum, it seems that it should correspond to "Shang, Ruler, Gong, He, Six, Five, and One". If there is a change in pitch, it is expressed by drawing a diagonal line below the kanji and adding radicals next to the kanji.
Who is Li Yu? An ancient music master who can write his own tunes and restore the "Neon Clothes and Feather Song" of the prosperous Tang Dynasty according to the fragments, this kind of introductory problem is a piece of cake for him.
"The Book of Rites? "Music Notes" once said: "The beginning of all sounds is born from people's hearts." The movement of the human heart, the object makes it so, and the feeling of the thing moves, so the form is in the sound. The sound corresponds, so it changes, and becomes a square, which is called the sound. It is called music by music, and it is called music, and later generations call it 'music'.
Music, which dissipates and becomes invisible, must record the pitch, length, strength, decoration and the way the instrument is played in a tangible way, which is called notation. Since ancient times, the way of notation has varied greatly from country to country, nation, and era. Once Li Yu entered his familiar realm, the long-lost flying spirit reappeared on him, and his sonorous and powerful voice echoed throughout the carriage.
"According to my reference to ancient books, there are currently ten kinds of traditional Chinese notation, namely the gong ruler notation, the qin notation, the Yanle half-character notation, the string notation, the rhythm and Lu character notation, the grid notation, the curve notation, the central shift notation, the chaba notation, and the gong and drum scriptures, among which the gong ruler notation is the most popular." Finally got the opportunity, Li Yu was out of control and began to show all the memories in his chest.
"The piano score is to record the strings and playing techniques of the guqin music in words; The half-character notation of Yan Le is mostly used to record Yan Le, and most of the symbols used resemble half a Chinese character; The string notation is a type of finger notation that is currently lost; The Lyric Character Notation uses the Twelve Rhythms to record the pitch of each sound in the tune, which was used to record Yale in ancient times; The grid score lists the twelve rhythms from low to high, and the rightmost line of the diagram is annotated with the word "Lu", each grid represents a semitone, and each grid from left to right represents a relatively equal length time value unit; Curve notation is the use of zigzag lines to memorize the progression of a tune; The central music score is a music score used in Tibetan Buddhism, drawing various curves on seven parallel lines; Chaba music is a type of music that draws curves in squares......"
Lin Feng listened to the unfamiliar names one by one, as if listening to a book from heaven. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the more notations, wouldn't it mean that each notation has not really spread, that is, it has no real vitality, otherwise it would not have been the most popular digital notation and stave in the early nineteenth century in the West.
"However, the score is just a tool, and the test of flawless music is the subtle differences in pitch, dynamics, and speed, and the personal understanding and understanding of the player, so the quality of the music depends on the skill and realm of the performer." Li Yu shook his head and concluded.
That's a good way to say. Lin Feng secretly praised and continued to ask: "Your Highness has a good memory and understanding, Lin admires." So, what are the main instruments you play today? ”
The car did not stop, and Li Yu's passionate voice did not stop.
"The pipa complains, and the strings are cold and dark; Tears are delicate fingers, and amorous flowers are all over the ground. Now the main instruments played are pipa, gonghou, zheng and so on. Among them, the pipa is the main plucked instrument. Pipa was originally called "batch handle", introduced from the Western Regions, pipa and pipa respectively refer to two playing techniques, pipa is played forward with the right hand, and pipa is played backward with the right hand. The pipa is a four-string, six-phase and twenty-four frets, with a wide range and a wide range of techniques. Before the Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi once wrote a poem "Pipa Xing", at that time there were Pei Shenfu, Duan Shanben, Kang Kunlun and other pipa playing masters, if born at that time, there will definitely be a chance to listen and appreciate. Speaking of this, Li Yu sighed slightly.
The car stopped, and under the guidance of Liu Cheng, he climbed the steps of the entrance of a luxurious and wide house, and the sound of music came faintly from the door.
Li Yu listened with his ears pricked up, and excitedly continued to introduce to Lin Feng: "Mr. Lin, listen, among them, the one with a clear voice is the pipa, and the one with a bumpy voice is the gonghou.
Konghou, because of its sound, is also called 'Kanhou' or 'Konghou', there are three shapes of lying Konghou, vertical Konghou, and phoenix-headed Konghou. In the Tang Dynasty, Du You's "General Dictionary" once recorded that "according to its shape, it is like a small one, seven strings, and it is played like a pipa with a pluck." This is the record of Wo Gong Hou. It was introduced from the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, and was later called 'Hu Konghou'. The shape of the phoenix head is similar to that of the vertical gonghou, and it is often named after the phoenix head as a decoration. These will be seen by Mr. Lin later. ”
Under the guidance of the greeter, the three of them passed through a welcoming wall and turned two corridors, and the music suddenly became louder, and the laughter was also mixed in.
