Ten-year-old Liu Jing, who worshiped Mr. Fang Yu of Yuling in Chu State as his teacher, learned to play the lyre, and became the only person in the Song State who could understand the folk ancient scores of the Zhou Dynasty.

Liu Jing revered Fang Yu very much, because Fang Yu was the first of the five piano masters he had invited in his life, and he was also the youngest and most handsome of them.

Fang Yuxi wore a white robe with wide sleeves and wide sleeves of the Chu State, Liu Jing felt that the master was chic and handsome, so he also asked the palace people to make a set of white robes for himself.

Every time he went to court, Ling Fei would ask him, "Your Highness, are you going to learn the piano again?" Don't go to martial arts with me? ”

Liu Jing always replied: "The master only has three months to teach me, I have to learn the piano first." The fallen moves, you will teach me again in a while! So he hurried away.

Liu Jing's sincerity and diligence in learning the piano gradually moved Fang Yu, so Fang Yu's guidance to Liu Jing can be said to be inexhaustible. Fang Yu also said frankly: "Your Royal Highness, although I am one of the few people in the five countries of Kyushu who can understand the ancient folk scores of the Zhou Dynasty, when it comes to the skills of the lyre, I can only be your beginner master." After I leave, you might as well go to Lin Niangniang in the palace to learn the piano, that is, the ninth princess of Chu State. Her piano skills were once also famous in the Chu State. ”

Liu Jing nodded and said, "Master, when you leave, I will go to Aunt Lin to learn the piano." But he muttered to himself in his heart: "It turns out that Aunt Lin's piano skills are so outstanding, but it's a pity that Shu'er has never learned a little bit." What she likes is to fight and compete. However, fortunately, she likes to fight and compete rather than play the piano and draw. Otherwise, how would she deal with the danger outside the palace alone? Liu Jing never believed the rumors of the palace people that the little princess had died outside the palace.

Fang Yu asked: "Your Royal Highness is now more than ten years old, and it is already late to get started in this seven-stringed piano art. I don't know what kind of realm do you want to learn, Your Highness? ”

Liu Jing sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know either." In fact, he wanted to learn the lyre, not because he loved music, but simply wanted to play the ancient scores of the Zhou Dynasty engraved on pearls, and play them to the gods in the sky, so that they could hear his sincerity, and maybe they could protect his missing sister in their spare time. Shu'er also hung a pearl engraved with the ancient score of the Zhou Dynasty around her neck, and if the gods in the sky could not find her, they could still go to find her pearl. Although it is said that there are hundreds of such pearls spread throughout Kyushu, they are always far fewer than the thousands of mortals in the world. However, he could not say such a naïve reason.

Fang Yu said: "For contemptible people, there are three layers of piano art. On the first floor, the mountains are long and the rivers are wide. The second floor, alone in the high-rise building. The third layer is to see the end of the world. ”

Liu Jing looked at Fang Yu puzzled.

Fang Yu continued: "On the first layer, the mountains and rivers are long, and it is a masterpiece that has been played all over the world, from the ancient rhyme of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Fanjing dance music, and appreciate the vastness of the seven strings and the vastness of the rhythm. ”

Liu Jing nodded and said, "Just like learning martial arts, if you want to become a master, you must practice kung fu all over the world in order to understand it." ”

Fang Yu said: "Your Royal Highness is smart, and you can see through a little. The second floor, alone in the high-rise building. I don't know Your Highness, do you know what it means? ”

Liu Jing scratched his head and said uncertainly: "I think, is it like practicing martial arts, after practicing a lot of kung fu, you will begin to have your own opinions on martial arts?" ”

Fang Yu smiled: "Almost." If Your Highness can persevere for ten years, and spare at least one hour a day to practice the piano, then after ten years, with your intelligence, you will definitely be able to reach the realm of 'going to a tall building alone'. ”

Liu Jing asked: "What does it feel like to be in the realm of 'going up to a tall building alone' in the seven-stringed piano art?" ”

Fang Yu said: "This realm, please forgive the contemptible people who have not yet reached it. In fact, I am not the best pianist in Chu State, but by chance, because of my family history, I can understand the folk ancient scores of the Zhou Dynasty. But a good friend of mine described it to me. ”

Liu Jing still remembers Mr. Fang Yu's words that day, but he never had a chance to ask him who his friend was. After Fang Yu returned to the Chu State, his traces were gone, and Liu Jing asked Lord Lingmo to send people to the Chu State to visit several times, but there was no news of him. Liu Jing would never know in his life that the enlightenment master of his lyre art was actually "Dongfang Yu" under the pseudonym "Fang Yu", the first strategist beside King Sheng of Chu Guo. And the "friend" in the mouth of "Fang Yu" is the prince of Weiguo under the pseudonym "Zhuge Escape", Zhuge calmly father-in-law.

Fang Yu said: "In the piano art, the realm of 'going to a tall building alone' is not literal, such as going up to a tall building, which is difficult to look up to. The so-called 'alone on a tall building' focuses on the word 'alone', and it doesn't matter whether it is a mountain, a tall building or a high platform. In the realm of the word 'alone', it is divided into two layers: 'unique' and 'exclusive'. Uniqueness means that after playing all the best works in the world, you begin not to stick to the original score, but have your own unique opinions, and try to play familiar tunes with novel techniques. At that time, you will find that the music you played a few years ago will be a different feeling at your fingertips a few years later. Exclusivity means that when you begin to play a well-known piece with your own understanding, you may be questioned or even abused, but you no longer pay attention to the evaluation of others, but immerse yourself in the melody in your heart alone, enjoy it alone, and truly experience the heartiness that the rhythm brings to you. ”

Liu Jing nodded as if he didn't understand.

Fang Yu continued: "The highest level of piano art, 'looking at the end of the world', I naturally did not reach it. My friend said that he had barely reached one of the levels, and the only one who really reached this level throughout the ages was Zhou Lewang, who composed the dance music of "Xuannu Steps". It's a pity that although he is a generation of pianists, he made the Great Zhou fall apart, and the great country was shattered into Kyushu overnight, and the war continued for more than 100 years, and the lives were devastated. Your Royal Highness, as the king of a country, you should not be obsessed with the piano to the realm of King Zhou Le. ”

Liu Jing said solemnly: "Master, please rest assured, the apprentice will definitely not practice to the realm of King Zhou Le." ”

Fang Yulang laughed loudly: "Learn to play the lyre, which apprentice does not worship the portrait of King Zhou Le when he enters?" Although he was not a good king, he was a musician of a generation that had never been seen before or since. Successive lyre masters, which one doesn't want to be King Zhou Le? But I didn't expect that I, a beginner teacher, would tell my apprentices not to be enterprising. ”

Liu Jing added: "Master, I mean, even if my piano skills are practiced to the realm of King Zhou Le, I will not think about the government and politics, and I will not be a generation of faint monarchs." ”

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, and said with a low laugh in his words: "However, as the introductory master of His Royal Highness's piano art, the selfishness of the contemptible is that you have also practiced as King Zhou Le." The big deal is to ruin a Song country! In history, kings abound, but it is extremely rare and rare for a qin master like King Zhou Le to compose more than 100 pieces of qin music that have been handed down to this day in just one lifetime!
