At the end of the song, I was still immersed in the aftermath.

"Sister, is the song just now real? It's so good, I don't think it's real. ”

My sister gave me a blank look, but her eyes were full of smiles.

"If you are poor, I won't teach you!"

"Oh, sister, can't I tell the truth?"

"Okay, okay, just your little mouth, I can't say you can't do it yet! But then I'm going to start teaching you the guqin formally, you have to learn it seriously, you can't be hippie smiling anymore, you know? ”

"Well, the mission is guaranteed!"

My sister nodded with satisfaction, and then began to teach me about the guqin seriously, but her pleasant voice made people feel bored at all.

"To learn the guqin, you need to understand the guqin first. Guqin, also known as Yaoqin, Yuqin, and Lyre. Guqin has a history of more than 3,000 years, ancient books record Fuxi as a qin, and there are Shennong as a qin, the Yellow Emperor made a qin, Tang Yao made a qin and other legends, so the guqin is divided into Fuxi style, Zhongni style, Liezi style and so on. Shun Dingqin is five strings, King Wen adds one string, and King Wu adds another string to seven strings. The guqin has a wide range, a deep timbre, and a long aftersound. ”

I winked and said:

"Sister, if every teacher is as gentle and beautiful as you, then the students will definitely study very seriously."

My sister pretended to be angry and said:

"You know the poor mouth. Come, look at this winding beam, and I'll tell you about its construction. ”

My sister pointed to the winding beam and began to teach me:

"The guqin is generally about 3 feet 6 inches 5 inches long, symbolizing 365 days in a year; The face is round and the bottom is flat, symbolizing heaven and earth; The body of the piano and the body of the phoenix correspond to the head, neck, shoulders, waist, tail, and feet. ”

My sister looked up at me as she spoke, and said:

"You see, this is the piano surface, this is the strings, and these thirteen points are called the piano emblem. Then these are the headstock, tail, and bottom, which is the head, and this is the fly's head, and the silk twist that connects them is called the velvet buckle. There is also this called the pond, and this one is called the protection of the pool. Look at the two holes at the bottom, they are called Longchi and Fengnuma respectively, and the one corresponding to them is called Nayin, which controls the sound. If you look at this foot, it's called the goose's foot, and it symbolizes the seven stars. ”

My sister pointed to the corresponding place as she spoke, she was very serious and attentive, for fear that I would not know something. After my sister finished speaking, she said to me:

"Take a closer look, what else is there on this winding beam besides the cracks that have been repaired?"

I looked closely, only to find that in addition to the cracks on the beam, there were ...... I said to my sister:

"There are also some very strangely shaped textures."

She nodded.

"Yes, this pattern is called broken pattern, which is formed by the perennial weathering of the guqin and the vibration when playing. The guqin can only form broken lines for at least a hundred years, so it is still an important basis for identifying the guqin. ”

My sister plucked the strings as she spoke.

"Feel the sound of it, say how you feel."

I closed my eyes and said:

"Quiet."

My sister nodded her head again and again, satisfied with my answer.

"You are really suitable for the guqin, you can understand everything at all."

I stuck out my tongue.

"Sister, I'm embarrassed about what you said."

My sister smiled and stroked my head and continued:

"There are three kinds of guqin sounds, namely scattered sounds, overtones, and press tones, and there are seven scattered sounds, ninety-one overtones, and one hundred and forty-seven pressing tones, all of which are very quiet sounds."

My sister said and plucked the strings.

"It's a loose sound, it's an overtone, it's a press tone. Come, pluck the strings yourself and feel it. ”

I followed my sister's example and carefully plucked the strings and scattered the sounds. Plucked again, overtones. Pluck again and press the tone.

After I stopped, my sister asked:

"What's the difference?"

I replied seriously:

"The loose sound is loose and distant, which makes people think of ancient times."

At this point I paused, feeling as if something was flashing through my mind, but it was a flash and I didn't have time to grasp it. I looked at my sister, but she didn't speak, and I continued:

"The overtones are like heavenly sounds, and there is a sense of coldness and immortality. The sound is very complex, as if human language can speak, and it seems that people's mood is ethereal and changeable. ”

My sister was amazed and delighted when she heard my words, and said:

"My sister is really a guqin wizard, I doubt that you have learned the guqin."

I was embarrassed to say:

"Sister!"

My sister looked at me with a smile:

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Now I'm going to teach you the most basic playing technique, string fixing. The pitch of the empty strings of the guqin is not fixed, depending on the piece being played, and the tone of the guqin is complex, and there are as many as 35 kinds of keys. The strings are set according to the pentatonic scale, and the vocal range has four octaves and one major second. ”

My sister said and pulled me to sit down with her.

"Come, sit down. In this way, as I did, put my right hand on the strings and my left hand on the emblem. ”

My sister taught me by hand, and my fingers followed my sister's fingers to beat on the piano.

"Play with your right hand, press the strings with your left hand, yes, that's it."

My sister explained while playing:

"The sound of the guqin is not limited to the thirteen emblems, and many of the tones are between the emblems."

I learned well, and my sister said with satisfaction:

"Good, good, well,......"

The more I played, the more excited I became, and said excitedly:

"Sister, I feel like my fingers are dancing!"

My sister laughed when she heard this, and the laughter was a little more pleasant than the sound of the piano.

In the end, my sister said earnestly:

"Learning the piano doesn't happen overnight, even if you are quite talented, you need to practice diligently."

I stood up and promised:

"My sister remembers her sister's teachings and will never live up to her expectations."

As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach "gurgled" and I buried my head in embarrassment.

The sister stood up and said:

"When you're hungry, your sister makes you something to eat, tell your sister what you want to eat."

I drooled at the thought of eating, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said:

"Sister~~~, I want to eat meat."

"Okay, sister, I'll make you meat!"

I led my sister to the kitchen, and when she saw that my kitchen was clean and didn't even want to be a mouse, she looked at me with the eyes of a child who didn't care about her mother, and said in a tone full of distress:

"My poor sister, in the future, my sister will give you more good food, and she will never let you go hungry."

I nodded pitifully and said:

"Sister, you're so good, sister, I love you!"

My sister touched my head.

"Let's go, my sister will take you to buy groceries."

I hurriedly grabbed my sister.

"Sister, can't you bask in the sun? Now that the sun is shining, we still don't want to go out. Hmm~, we can ask the restaurant to deliver it to me, sister, what do you like to eat? ”

My sister comforted me and said:

"Believe my sister, the restaurant is definitely not as delicious as what I make. You don't have to worry about me, find a cloak for me to cover, we'll go back, it's fine. ”

I strongly disagree.

"No, or sister, you tell me what materials I need, and I'll buy them."

"You go and buy it, can you tell the difference between cabbage and greens?"

When my sister asked me about my dumbness, she touched my head and said:

"Don't worry, my sister is fine, my sister wants to cook a meal for her sister."

"Okay, sister."

I found a cloak and put it on my sister, and we set off together for the market.
