Chapter 37: Reflections

It turned out that after Yang Zijiang and Zeng Fan arrived in the auditorium, they turned on all the lights. Then I went down to the orchestra pit and put the pieces of the drum together.

They looked carefully up and down, left and right, and found that this drum was different from other drums, because other drums were ordinary red, but this drum had an extra gold character on it.

"Xiao Zeng, what kind of word is this? How does it look like a cow? Because it was a hieroglyph, Yang Zijiang didn't know it.

Zeng Fan carefully looked at the words put together, and made a discovery, "If my guess is right, this should be a kui character,"

"Huh? Why write this word? Any explanation? ”

"Yes, in ancient books, it is said that Kui lives with heaven and earth, and is a kind of snake-shaped monster. The original text said, "Kui, the charm is also, like a dragon's foot." In other words, it resembles a reptile, but only on one leg. ”

"Hey, interesting, one foot, is that still a foot? It's a tail, right? Yang Zijiang smiled abusively,

"No, it's just a foot. But don't look at it only has one leg, but it runs fast, Zhuangzi said, Kui pity worm, worm is a multi-legged worm, but the speed is not as fast as a one-legged worm,"

"Haha, interesting, but why is there a word written on this big drum?"

"The huge drum is also called Kui, because this word is not recognized by ordinary people, so it will not attract attention,"

"And that said?" Yang Zijiang was very surprised, "What you said about this, why don't I know that I am engaged in musical instruments?" ”

"What can I give you? Think you know everything? Xiao Zeng smiled, "If I talk about the origin of the pipa, you will definitely answer the question fluently, what Western Regions pipa, what three-axis and five-axis, you can tell me the bottom of it,"

"Of course, the guy I eat, of course I know," Yang Zijiang was very proud,

"Yes, naturally no one knows that thing better than you, but I bet you don't know the origin of what I talked about today," Xiao Zeng was even more proud,

"Hehe, Niu X! Touched your strengths, didn't you? ”

"Of course, what I'm going to talk about today is the origin of the drum, do you want to hear it?"

"Of course I want to hear it, I'm the leader of the band, you have to know that?"

"Then you listen, this is a story that has been passed down through the ages, and it happened in ancient times," Xiao Zeng took out a storytelling posture and made Yang Zijiang laugh,

"Hahaha, don't be poor, hurry up!"

"Hehe, in ancient times, in the great war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, because Chiyou was very brave and could 'eat stones with copper heads', that is to say, he could eat stones as food, and he could also 'fly in the air', so in the war, they repeatedly held each other, which made the Yellow Emperor very jealous, but he suffered from no countermeasures."

"What then? The Yellow Emperor is our originator? ”

"Yes, at this time, there is a person who has come to help him, and this person is the famous Nine Heavens Xuannu!"

"Nine Heavens Xuannu, I know, isn't she an ancient goddess with a human head and a bird's body?"

"Hehe, it's her, Xuannu came to help and gave the Yellow Emperor an idea, saying that although that Chi You is brave, he also has a weakness, and he will hit it with one blow!"

"Yo, what's Chiyou's weakness? Is there anything else he is afraid of? ”

"Hey, really, Chiyou is afraid of a sudden and violent explosion,"

"What then? Get a cannon? ”

"Go, what cannon? How could there be a cannon at that time? Zeng Fan pouted, "Xuannu said, we can go and catch an animal called Kui, use its skin to make war drums, when fighting, when Chiyou approaches, the soldiers will suddenly stir, that Chiyou must be afraid, while he can't move, we can surprise him and defeat him in one fell swoop." ”

"What kind of animal is this?"

"It looks like a cow, but it's actually a dragon, don't you listen? How to clean the gap? Xiao Zengbai glanced at him,

"Listen, I'll listen, you hurry up!"

The Yellow Emperor followed the advice of the Xuannu and went to the mountains to hunt in person, and with his bravery, he captured a huge Kui Niu. The Nine Heavens Xuannu used its skin to make a big drum. The drum has 80 faces, and it takes more than 100 people to beat it, and the bones of the drum are used as drumsticks. ”

"Oh, that Xuannu is the ancestor who made the big drum? What happened? ”

Later, Chiyou came to challenge again. At the critical moment when the two armies faced off, the Yellow Emperor ordered the sergeants to suddenly beat the drum, and the drum was earth-shattering for a while, and the sound shook for more than 3,800 miles. Chi You was stunned, thinking that it was the Heavenly Thunder Gong who came down to help, and his heart was panicked and annoyed by the big drum, and he froze there for a while, unable to move,"

"Hey, this drum is good, huh?"

"That is, the drum made by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, of course, is extraordinary, just in the earth-shattering sound of the snare drum, that Chi You 'Nine Blows Stop, You Can't Go, So You Kill." I saw that the entire battlefield shook the mountains, the sky swirled, and the shouts of killing rushed straight to Xiao Han. The morale of the Yellow Emperor's army was greatly boosted, but Chiyou's soldiers were shocked by the sound of drums, and they rushed to kill without a way, and finally the army was defeated like a mountain. ”

"This battle made the Chiyou army defeated, and after this bloody battle, the world was decided. Kui Gu also made a great contribution, and since then it has been recorded in the annals of history and introduced to the people," Xiao Zeng shook his head and said very proudly.

"Hehe, you really have some talent, why don't I tell your section chief, go to our art troupe to tell stories,"

"Go and go, what are you talking about? I'm not going to do that, I'm going to study and get the opportunity to set up a handicraft processing factory specializing in making Kuilong."

"Blow it, you think the process is simple? It's a craft, it's an intangible heritage! ”

I'm really not blowing, I've already studied, you see in the decoration of ancient bronzes, the dragon pattern is one of the main ornaments, the image is mostly open mouth, curly tail of the long strip, the shape and the bronze veneer structure line is suitable, with straight lines, arcs as a supplement, with an ancient beauty. The dragon pattern on the bronze is called the kui pattern and the kui dragon pattern, and in the records since the Song Dynasty, all the expressions of one foot on the bronze are quoted from the record of "kui one foot" in ancient books.

"Ho, okay with you?" Xiao Zeng's knowledge impressed Yang Zijiang, "You are really not simple, how can you understand so much?" ”

"Hey, what's not in the movie? I also found out after watching the Bronze expansion! ”

"Oh, admire, it seems that you are a person with a heart, you can learn so much knowledge by watching a movie," Yang Zijiang was very impressed, "Continue to carry it forward?" Next time, we'll talk again, by the way, do you bring a camera? ”

"What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and take a picture of this, this is the evidence, and it is also the information, don't let the cleaner get it for a while, after taking the photo, let's hurry up and find Director Fang, I guess he is useful!" Yang Zijiang reminded Xiao Zeng, "Don't forget, this person hasn't been revealed yet?" ”

"Did you think he would come?"

"What is he doing here? Stuff is gone,"

"How does he know it's gone? What if you don't know? ”

"I see, you want to put him in a maze?"

"The hero sees the same thing, hahaha," both laughed......
