Chapter 31 There is a female Yanxia
Seeing Ye Wuxian reaching into his arms, Sun Zice was also very worried, but at this time, he saw Ye Wuxian touching his arms for a while, so he took out a small guitar from the backpack behind his back.
"What is this?" Sun Zice looked at it, he really didn't know this thing, and even Zhang Yanyan and Zhang Yingying didn't recognize what it was.
In fact, if it comes from the earth, anyone who knows how to play a musical instrument will know that this is the ukulele.
But now that Ye Wuxian has taken it out in this world, of course no one recognizes it.
Ye Wuxian smiled indifferently, this was made for him by the carpenter and blacksmith master before he left the academy, and put it in his backpack, which also avoided the problem of inconvenience in carrying the big guitar.
After Ye Wuxian took out this ukulele, he looked at the person in front of him and had doubts in his heart.
Ye Wuxian groaned: "I'm a student of the academy, so I'll be ugly first, but I feel that you are also students of the academy, could it be that you are from the inner courtyard." ”
At that moment, Sun Zice was taken aback, and looked at Ye Wuxian, the inner courtyard is where the monks gather, Qiankun Academy selects talents, as long as those who can cultivate are sent to the inner courtyard, and those who can't cultivate are sent to various places to become officials, so this is the student of the outer courtyard in front of him?
Seeing this, he thought for a while and said, "I see, you are a student of the outer courtyard, it seems that we are all classmates." ”
Ye Wuxian smiled and said, "It's ugly, you can all cultivate, I can only play music, so I picked up my ukulele and smiled slightly.
Speaking of the ukulele, this instrument from Hawaii, some believe that it comes from the Hawaiian word for "come here" as a gift, or gift or reward. Another theory holds that this instrument was originally called the shamisen. However, from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries onwards, there was an increase in European immigration. Due to the different accents, it was mispronounced "ukulele" over the years.
There is also a theory that there was a British general named Edward Pwess who took his guards to meet King David of Hawaii. Because he was so good at playing a musical instrument, and that instrument seemed small and energetic, most Hawaiians simply called him ukulele, which means jumping flea.
However, the most suitable material for this ukulele is considered to be the rare hardwood species from Hawaii, the Koa Acacia tree, which is light brown and has a beautiful wood grain, and a high-end flame pattern.
There is also a gentle sound like mahogany, but its high frequencies are a little more prominent than mahogany. This tree has a high density, so the timbre is brighter and the low frequencies are weaker. Due to the oily nature of the wood, the high frequencies are also slightly weakened. All in all, the timbre of this tree is more focused on the midrange, with smooth highs and clear but weak lows. Compared to other woods, the base notes in the timbre of wood are stronger. When played vigorously, the sound quality is sweet.
This wood has to be played for several years before the sound is revealed.
The color is a little too bright, like walnut contains too much oil, and it is used as a guitar, and the color is dark brown, and it is not lacquered to keep it special. But the appearance after painting is also quite beautiful.
Now where in the world is there Hawaiian trees, so Ye Wuxian found acacia wood, the timbre of the piano is really dominated by craftsmanship, but craftsmanship is the key to the key, fortunately, the craftsmanship of craftsmen is still good.
The ukulele is not the same as the guitar, the guitar has 6 strings, 8 strings, 10 strings, and 12 strings, but the ukulele has 4 strings.
The ukulele has the advantage of being small and light, and the sound that pops up is just as good as a guitar. The ukulele is made up of headstock, tail, strings, and frets.
The playful name and appearance add a romantic touch to the ukulele, and it can be used to play folk, pop, blues, jazz, and have a free taste of whatever you want.
The ukulele only has the range of the four thinnest strings in the fifth position of the guitar, but its timbre can express a rich feeling of childishness, loveliness, innocence, calmness, nostalgia and retro, all of which have nothing to do with playing skills and fingering rules, everything is the casual nature of the player.
The ukulele is a relatively easy instrument to learn, and it is easy to learn a few small pieces without giving up halfway. But when I really got my hands on it, I found that I had opened a completely different door from other instruments.
The ukulele is easy to learn, but it is difficult to learn, which means that the player can enjoy the thrill of exploring the unknown and discover the beauty of simplicity.
So Ye Wuxian played, it can be said that Kerry is the "Venus" of musical instruments, and the charm of the ukulele lies in a sense of incompleteness. This instrument has no bass at all, which is the biggest feature that distinguishes it from other strings.
This means that the ukulele's performance of the piece completely abandons the bass accent and focuses only on the clear treble chords and the main note.
Interestingly, the ukulele is played in a way that is less difficult on the left hand chords, but more demanding on the right hand and at a higher tempo.
This attracted many people to watch Ye Wuxian's performance, and everyone was amazed by the performance of this instrument, even Sun Zice was amazed.
At this time, a masked woman appeared behind Sun Zice, walked out at this time, and asked Ye Wuxian, "What kind of musical instrument is this?"
Ye Wuxian glanced up, only to see a woman in white with a veil, although she couldn't see her face, but she looked extremely beautiful, then he remembered what Wang Xun said, this cultivator has aura all around the world, and most of the people who can sense aura and absorb it into the body can cultivate.
The woman looked at Ye Wuxian, took out something from her hand and took a picture of him, sighed and said, "Alas! It's a pity that he can't cultivate. ”
Ye Wuxian was strange, "Can you cultivate, it's not just a matter of talking, isn't it?" ”
He saw that the woman was holding something in her hand, it was the stone of the spiritual root test, referred to as the spiritual root stone, and then look, the word "Yanxia" was embroidered on the person's clothes.
He remembered what Wang Xun said, "Legend has it that there are four people in the world, and the four of them are natural monks who have the ability to conquer mountains and seas, and the descendants of these four people also have divine powers. ”
"There are two kinds of people in the world, one is able to continue cultivating, and the other is ordinary people who can't cultivate, and ordinary people ask God, why can my younger brother cultivate, but I can't?"
If your parents are strong enough, then you can practice, and if your parents are too weak, you can't practice, so what is the origin of these two people in front of you?
