At the invitation of the pianist, Confucius followed him to the house of the pianist at the foot of the hill.

Those who listen to the harp, pack up and follow behind.

The luthier's home is a large courtyard with a deep courtyard. An old house, classic and elegant. It is surrounded by dense trees that hide the entire courtyard in it. From a distance, it seems that there is no courtyard. But! When you get inside, you will find that there is no cave. Beneath the tall trees, there is still sunlight.

I can only say: what a place to retreat.

The maid of the family stepped forward, changed the seat for Confucius, and served fragrant tea.

The master of the luthier sat at the table, and his interest was very high.

"How did the gentleman get in?" The luthier asked.

"Why does the pianist play different pieces before and after?" Confucius did not answer the pianist's question, but asked impatiently.

"It's a long story!" The luthier sighed.

Then! The listeners took the piano down the hill and placed it in its former position. One of them brought the strings and replaced the broken strings. And then! I tried to tune it up. Since he may feel that he has less grasp of the rhythm than the pianist, so! After trying it, he looked at the luthier.

"Let me do it! Go down, all of you. Seeing this, the pianist said.

"Yes! Mr! The man who repaired the harp said yes and withdrew.

The other people who listened to the piano did not follow. Judging from the appearance, these people should be acquaintances of the violinist, who often come to listen to the piano, and they don't want to disturb the conversation between the master and the new friend.

The luthier came to the piano, played the string, listened to it, and was very dissatisfied. Quickly loosen the strings. I played it again, but I was still not satisfied, so I tightened the strings again. And so on until the rhythm of the string was settled, and he did not stop.

But! He didn't stop there, plucked all the strings a little more, and listened to them as a whole until he was satisfied.

Visible! The luthier is more proficient in music than Chang Hong.

After adjusting the qin, the luthier did not return to the master's seat, but continued to sit in the violinist's seat and talk to Confucius.

"I was playing Shao music earlier! Shao music, known as Shun music in history, is a kind of traditional court music in ancient times, the music of Emperor Shun, is a comprehensive art integrating poetry, music and dance......

The pianist introduced the music of Shao music at the same time.

"Music that combines poetry, music, and dance?" Confucius asked puzzled.

"Hmm!" The luthier replied, "Unfortunately! There is no dancing here! ”

"What about me?" Confucius asked heartbeatly: "When I usually play alone, I sing the Book of Songs while playing, then?" Is it considered Shao Le? ”

"You?" The pianist stopped abruptly, stopped playing, looked at Confucius with wide eyes, and asked, "You sing the Chsalms while playing?" ”

"yes?" Confucius nodded.

"Then you come!" As he spoke, the luthier left his position and gave up his seat. Let Confucius come forward and play and sing to him.

Confucius did not give in, got up and walked over. You're welcome, first play the strings lightly and try the sound. And then! Ten fingers hooked and gently pressed against the strings. Then! While playing, he began to sing.

All in one song! Confucius pretended to put his hands on both sides of the piano, closed his eyes and enjoyed it, feeling the mood and artistic conception just now.

"Good!" The luthier applauded. "This is Shao Le! What you play has the charm of Shao music! Good! ”

"Me?" Confucius opened his eyes and said embarrassedly, "I'm just playing blindly!" Follow your feelings and do whatever you want! ”

"That's how it feels to be in Shao Le! Feel free to express your feelings! During the period of Emperor Shun, the world was peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, happy and healthy. So! The pursuit of music has also developed, and they have expressed their state of mind through the situation of music......

At different levels, there is different music! What I played earlier was Dile! It's a pity that there are no dancers to dance, and it's a big regret that ......"

According to the pianist: During the period of Emperor Shun, there were male and female dancers who danced together. It's not just female dancers, it's a mix of men and women at that time.

It has become a female dance, and until the current female dance, it has only started in modern times. Right now! Not only has it become a female dance, but it has also become a glamorous 1 dance!

Speaking of this, the luthier was very angry: really! It has ruined the cultural treasures of our country.

What's even more infuriating is that with the change of the content of the accompanying dance, the rhythm of Shao music has also changed. It can be said! Becomes unrecognizable.

Exactly because of this! The "Shao Le" of that year is gone.

The loss of Shaole is due to the changes of the times.

And the Shao music he plays is not only a continuation from the ancient score, but also an understanding of Shao music. Later! He couldn't help but feel bad when he thought of the current etiquette. So! The rhythm that is played becomes a wail.

“…… So! If you want to play Shao music, you must have the experience of living in a harmonious society and the confidence to aspire to a better life......" explains the pianist.

Without that kind of life experience, you can't play the rhythm of Shun music!

What Confucius played just now has a little rhythm of Shao music! But! Not exactly the same.

The pianist called Confucius aside, and he sat down himself. And then! He played the piano and let Confucius sing along! He played it over and over again according to the rhythm of Confucius.

Confucius was also very cooperative and began to chant.

Really! The piano is the same and the key is the same, but when it comes to the pianist's hands, the rhythm changes. The rhythm is still the same rhythm, but the rhyme has changed.

At the end of the playing, the luthier was very satisfied.

said: "The characteristics of Shaole are here! It has its fixed pattern! For example! Its sonorous sound is very calm, and the echo is far and powerful. ”

Talking! He tried it. And he explained, "Can you hear the difference?" Is its echo distant and powerful? ”

"Boom! ……”

Confucius listened carefully and nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Only people who are calm and calm and have no sorrows in life can play the rhythm of Shao music! A person who is in an impetuous mood cannot play this rhythm. People who are in an impetuous mood, their rhythm is fast! The rhythm of the rhythm is fast, which does not exactly indicate that the mood is agitated and excited. There is a difference between the two.

The rhythm played by an impetuous person has a murmur in it. It's a murmur, not an echo, an aftersound. And the rhythm played by the excited person is fast and concise......"

As he spoke, the luthier played two tunes. One is a song played by an impetuous person, and the other is a song played when he is excited. In the contrast of the two songs, anyone who doesn't understand music can hear it.

In modern language, the music played by an impetuous person is like hearing a quarrel in the distance in the middle of the night. Only sound, no content. The music played by the excited person is completely different, which can give people a feeling of excitement and heartbeat.

And the Shao music mentioned by the pianist is the voice of the people's well-being.

The joy of Emperor Shun's court in Shao Le, you can imagine, what kind of realm is that? Emperor Shun sat high on the palace, doing nothing, listening to Shao Le and enjoying himself. The ministers below are also idle, enjoying the shocking charm of Shao Le.

Guotai and the people are safe, Emperor Shun and the ministers are unemployed, and they use Shaole to pass the time, what kind of realm is that?
