Chapter 364: About Qin

That's a legend, who knows if it's true or not, but the steps of the legend are correct. As for soaking in flowing water for 72 days, my master thinks that in ancient times, it was inconvenient to transport, and good wood was generally found in the deep mountains and dense forests, and if you want to transport it, I am afraid that it is not that easy. So the wise one went down the river with the cut wood, and made up a legend to justify it. Qingqing said as she noted the size of the caliper.

"So soaking in water is of little use for wood?" The queen looked at Qingqing.

"The wood that has just been cut is originally watery, and it has been soaked in running water for two or three months, but it is actually waiting to be kept fresh. Then find a place to dry in the shade, which actually has no substantial effect on the wood. Qingqing shrugged her shoulders and handed the drawings to the palace eunuch. She didn't say it, some people are very strange, obviously it is already a wood that is dried in the shade, and then soaked in water, and then dried in the shade? This actually destroys the wooden. However, some luthiers deliberately made some that they didn't, and she felt that it really didn't have any effect except for pretending.

"Yes, the minion will let you do it as soon as possible, and you won't miss your work." The palace eunuch smiled like a flower and took it with both hands.

"Well, in seven days." Qingqing smiled, clapped her hands, and looked back at the young emperor and his wife, "Let's go!" ”

"Qingqing, will you do it for me first?" The young emperor didn't look at those people at all, he only cared about this.

"Your Majesty, if I were you, I would want a second one, and I would be familiar with the craftsmanship." The queen shook her head hurriedly, and now she felt as if she was meeting the young emperor for the first time, could this not be so childish. Still, he said kindly.

"No, I have to be the first." The young emperor said firmly, like a child.

"In fact, there is no question of who comes first and who comes last, because the two will do it together, so the two pianos should be almost at the same time, if you must be the first, then, I will definitely give you the first to finish." Qingqing smiled, the two pianos, can cause different timbre, only her different techniques in the abdominal cavity.

"Yes, I want the first one." The young emperor shook his head firmly, the first one must be his.

"Yes!" Qingqing noticed that there were not many times when the young emperor called himself 'I' when he talked to him. When he's happy, or when he's particularly unhappy, he won't say 'I'! Is it because he is his daughter, so he is deliberately closing the distance between them?

"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of doing this and not investigating your case?" The three of them didn't want to sit down, so they slowly walked side by side towards the queen's palace. While walking and chatting, Qingqing was used to holding one in one hand, and she was between the two. The young emperor liked this, and looked down at Qingqing with a smile. He actually wanted to ask for a long time, when Qingqing was just preparing, she was actually as focused as she was when she was handling the case. However, what made her put down her case and focus on something else.

"Aren't you waiting for you to get the autopsy done?" Qingqing smiled, she felt a little unhappy when she thought of the case, she seemed to smell blood again.

"The matter of the case can be put aside, she has been injured these days, and she has eaten vegetarian for so long, I am afraid that it will be too hard. Do some hard work, change your mind, and take a break. The queen looked at her daughter and said hurriedly. She has been getting along with Qingqing in the temple these days, and she finally got to know her better.

Qingqing smiled at him, just when he arrived at the place, the wood had already been transported back first, Qingqing turned to the young emperor, "What style do you like?" ”

"Shouldn't the guqin be used as a knife?" The young emperor thought about it, he actually didn't know how to understand the guqin.

Qingqing pointed to the wooden board, she felt that she really had four boards, two thick and two thin, they all looked similar, and she really didn't have a sense of height at all. Qingqing was not idle, sat down by himself, asked someone to bring a pen and paper, drew a few guqins by himself, and pointed them out to the young emperor. The meaning is very clear, what is the aptitude of the knife is to tell a story, not so pretentious.

"Where did you come from?" The young emperor picked it up and looked at it, staring at Qingqing.

"What I think about myself, the original appearance is not important, the important thing is the material of the guqin and the chorus of the abdominal cavity, you choose a good appearance, I will start to clean up the appearance and do some rough work." Qingqing's mind is a complete work process, which is particularly meaningless.

"Would you like to come back with a few more pianos and study them first?" The queen is now satisfied with her daughter, and she can't watch her fail.

"You, you don't even see it. How smart is our daughter, and what do we need to look at? The young emperor waved his hand and said hurriedly, with a smug face. Looking at it now, he really thinks that his daughter is very good, except that it is not as magical as written in the book, but this is his daughter, so naturally everything is good.

"I want to see, or I'll pick the best one for you?" Qingqing didn't mind going to see the collection in the palace, although she didn't know which era it was, but the legend of the guqin was the same.

It can also be seen from the legend of Fuxi making the piano just mentioned that the history of Chinese music research is almost synchronized with the historical records of mankind. In addition to being a qin maker, the old man himself also collects the guqin, and he shows off with her when he has nothing to do, and sometimes asks her to help, borrowing the X-ray machine in the bureau to give the old qin a perspective and see the secrets of the guqin. It is often said that Qingqing is a case of people, and he is a case of Guqin.

Therefore, she also really likes the guqin, these years, she didn't want to go to the guqin shop to see, but she also knows how much the Qiao family loves her, if she goes to see it, the Qiao family will definitely buy it for her, she is too expensive! Now that she has the opportunity to meet the best, she doesn't want to let go of the opportunity.

"Go, bring the best ones to the princess." The queen hurriedly instructed, thought about it, and said to the old lady, "Go and show the princess who sent it last time." ”

The old lady hurriedly smiled and retreated, and quickly took a piano wrapped in a piano bag and put it in front of Qingqing.

Qingqing opened it to see that the body of the piano was made of sycamore wood, painted with black lacquer, typical of the Han Dynasty. It should be a long time before the paint surface breaks, which is called broken lines. At the beginning, the old man had studied the shape of the broken lines, and the original broken lines were varied, some of them were like the patterns on the belly of a snake, called the snake belly pattern; Some are like flowing water, and some are like cow hair, plum blossoms, and ice patterns...... In fact, the cause of broken lines is caused by the production of lacquered wood, ash, and tires. In fact, from experienced people, the age of the guqin can be judged from the fracture of the lacquer pattern.

"Judging from the ice pattern, it should be the work of the two Han Dynasty, and the two Han Dynasty period is also the era of the rapid development of guqin skills in China, there are already guqin monographs in the Western Han Dynasty, and Cai Wenji's father Cai Yong is a famous luthier master in the Eastern Han Dynasty." Qingqing thought about it, plucked the strings lightly, and the melodious timbre came out, "This is a work of the Western Han Dynasty, and the industry has not yet decided whether the Han Dynasty will mark the sound emblem on the piano, and now I look at it, it should not be in the Western Han Dynasty." ”
