This book "Youyang Miscellaneous" reminds me of a lot of things, my uncle saw that I was distracted, so he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Liangzi, listen, what kind of sound is this?" ”

I listened carefully, discerned, and felt that this sound was very familiar, but it should be the sound of the guzheng, and this music suddenly reminded me of that famous song, yes, isn't this "Yunshui Zen Heart"? When I was practicing, Master had given us a lot of music that might be calm, which he rarely played, he said, although this song is gentle, but there is a warm feeling in it, which is not conducive to our practice, who knows, a few years later, the senior sister is because of the feelings of the person who said goodbye, this is how many years.

I said "Going to the Water Zen Heart"? The uncle nodded and said that this man played very well. Not to mention, it is also a pleasure to be able to hear such a bright song in such an early morning.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was an ancient song called "Yunshui Zen Heart". Yiyun is in the Shijing Mountains, there is a girl, named Zen heart. The perception is quite high, and the wisdom is natural. Soon, a Taoist priest who traveled far away came, and the Taoist name was "Yunshui Zhenren". said that he was staying at Zen Heart's house, but he lived for more than a year, but he had no intention of returning it. During the day, they learn from Zen and watch the stars at night. Over time, some people gossiped. Forced to be helpless, Yunshui Zhenren and Zen heart resigned. The Zen heart is sixteen miles away, and it must be said goodbye in the end. The Zen heart folds the willows and gives each other, and the clouds and water play a song to say goodbye. In addition to the empty and unconcerned Buddhist thoughts in the song, there is also a trace of affection between the two and can't bear to part. The name of this song is: Yunshui Zen Heart. Legend has it that Zen died depressed and died young. When he was critically ill, on the lyre, the first note of the piece was plucked. Although this is a poignant story, some of the Taoist thoughts and down-to-earth feelings in it seem to inspire the world.

In fact, "Yunshui Zen Heart" is the song in the Buddhist song Guzheng praise series music "Dig Water" - Yunshui. The song is ethereal, ethereal, and clear, like flowing water, moistening the heart, melting into the invisible, and the words of the lyrics are compassionate and timeless, and the Zen is written all over the natural landscape and soaked in the transparent Zen heart. The tracks of the same album also include: Step by Step Breeze, Willow Color New, Snow Mountain Temple Scenery and so on.

In the song, the guzheng is tactful and tactful, like flowing water. The bamboo forest is sparse, the spring and stone reflect each other, and the wonderful sound of the natural sound spreads and spreads, creating an ethereal and far-reaching artistic conception, as if all things in heaven and earth are dissolved in this artistic conception that is also real and illusory.

Yun Shui Zen occasionally heard a few short pipa sounds in his heart, like flowers as dense as brocade, floating among the green branches. The soft and beautiful electronic music, like a few white clouds in the vast sky, floats leisurely, making the rhyme of the song more soft and elegant. Unveil the sacred veil of music Zen, and feel as quiet as silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River. Empty mountain birds talking, people and white clouds perch. The gurgling spring wets my heart, and the fish play in the deep pool.

Yunshui Zen heart belongs to Buddhist music, and this leisurely state of mind can transcend the dust and the chaotic complex of the world. The changes and extensions of things in heaven and earth can be displayed in this movement and stillness, and sublimation becomes peaceful.

While we were intoxicated by this, my uncle suddenly asked me, "Liangzi, didn't your master tell you that there was also an ancient music master in the Laoshan faction?" ”

I was also stunned, and said in my heart, we are practicing ghosts, and this music really doesn't depend on it, I thought that the master he was talking about was an ancient, but my uncle said mysteriously, you still know this person. But he didn't go any further, but told me a little about the ancient songs.

Ancient songs mostly refer to the music that has been handed down in ancient China and has a high reputation. Most of these ancient songs are instrumental music, and most of them were composed by poets. Sociologists and folklorists believe that in order to popularize, develop, and protect the elegant art of classical poetry and songs, it is necessary to take the road of common appreciation of elegance and vulgarity, and to bring forth the new. The elegant should be retained, and the vulgar need to be developed urgently. Let the singing of ancient poems not only become the art of literary and ink writers, but also let them enter the ordinary people. The traditional classical music is created in two steps, so that the ancient poems and songs present a diversified artistic style, and the ancient music will surely usher in the spring of art. "Vulgar heat" must be followed by "Ya heat", which is the inevitable law of the development of things. This is why more and more people like ancient music later, because they have an understanding, so they have an interest.

We must know that ancient music is the essence of China's national culture, and the inheritance of ancient music is conducive to revitalizing the essence of national music and condensing the national spirit. If a master of ancient music can accurately grasp the correspondence between ancient songs and ancient poems, it is also the highest realm of his pursuit of national music, reflecting his deep understanding of ancient poems and demonstrating his perfect integration and grasp of the meaning of tunes and words. Because our country is a country of poetry and a world of songs. Classical poetry has a natural and inseparable kinship with music because of its rhythmic nature. "Poetry, poetry", as the name suggests, "poetry" and "song" cannot be separated, and poetry cannot be achieved without songs. Generations of literati and writers in China have all regarded "singing and singing" as an important criterion for judging the success and excellence of poetry works, and whether they can be circulated.

Ancient music in the traditional sense refers to the music that has been handed down in ancient China and has a high reputation. The representative repertoire includes: "Youlan", "Qin Wang's Broken Array Music", "Yangchun", "White Snow", "Changsha Female Introduction", "Qinglian Yuefu", "Qinglian Yuefu", "Plugged Song", "General's Order", "Wine Mania", "Yangguan Three Stacks", "Ni Clothes and Feather Clothes Song", "Haiqing Nahe", "Lisao", "Remembering the Old Man", "Drunken Fishing Singing Night", "Boya Mourning Period", "Scratching the Head and Asking the Sky", "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", "Fishing Song" and so on, most of these ancient songs belong to instrumental music, and most of them are composed by the poet's hand. Of course, in some ancient songs, there are not only songs but also words.

And what are the ancient songs that we refer to when we talk about popularizing and inheriting ancient songs in modern times? The ancient songs we advocate and popularize mainly refer to ancient poems and songs, referred to as ancient songs. Classical poetry is broad and profound, shocking people's hearts, and the singing of classical poetry is a treasure of Chinese national music. Nowadays, nearly 50 classical poems and songs have been excavated and preserved, and the ancient poems and songs that have been excavated and preserved mainly include Da Shun's "Song of the South Wind", Li Qingzhao's "Phoenix Stage, Remembering the", Ouyang Jiong's "Good Spring", Feng Yansi's "Sauvignon Blanc", Yu Hu's "Ba Nu Ballad", Qu Yuan's "Xiangjun", Gao Shi's "Farewell Dong Da", Li Bai's "Qiupu Song", Jiang Kui's "Apricot Blossom Sky Shadow", Liu Zongyuan's "Yang Baihua" and so on. Classical poetry belongs to the essence of traditional culture, and the music that embodies the connotation of ancient poetry and is compatible with it is naturally an indispensable content in traditional culture. China's culture itself is the result of a long-term integration of diverse cultures. Not all things in China's traditional culture are the essence, some are scientific and some are ignorant; There are those who are progressing and those who are lagging behind; There are ideological theories that are of enlightening and guiding significance for modernization, and there are also those that have a restraining and hindering effect on social development and human progress. In the process of learning, we should hold the principle of "learning from others, criticizing and absorbing; The past is for the present, and it is for me; Take the essence and discard the dross", we must correctly judge and look at the protection and inheritance of traditional culture.

A good ancient song, only on the basis of clarifying the meaning of the poem and the meaning of the song, on the premise of giving full play to the artistic conception and charm of the ancients, can it be able to play an ancient song in the real sense. This is a difficult artistic path for a good musician to take. On this road, it is necessary to pay more than ordinary people's mental strength and endurance.

We must know that ancient music is the essence of China's national music, reflecting the characteristics of court music. Ancient music is the pinnacle of folk music singing, reflecting a person's supreme cultivation and knowledge. It can be seen that ancient songs, although they have the characteristics of high and low, have high artistic accomplishment and artistic appeal. In fact, like other ancient music, guqin and other ancient music have the characteristics of subtlety, elegance and far-reaching artistic conception, which contains the spiritual pursuit, personality pursuit and aesthetic taste of literati and ink writers, which is consistent with its inner spiritual characteristics. Or it reflects the solemnity and simplicity of Confucian music, which is determined by its benevolent and ancient thoughts.

In fact, the performance of ancient operas should not only find its taste in repeated listening, but also feel in guqin music, and should also absorb nutrients from the art of opera. Playing an ancient song well is not so simple as tuning the exact notes, or even the emotions in place, but if you can dig deep into the music, it can be truly called complete. The separation between friends, such as "Yangguan Three Stacks", is not something that can be understood now. In ancient times, this parting, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be the first in this life, especially the sentence "infinite sadness", no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to achieve the sadness of the real ancients, all kinds of reluctance, and all kinds of helplessness...... The melodious sound of the guqin echoes in our ears, which can bring us endless inspiration.

Uncle said that there are ten ancient songs in the current society, namely Gaoshan Liushui (Guqin Song), Guanglingsan (Guqin Song), Pingsha Luoyan (Guqin Song), Meihua Three Alleys (Guqin Song), Ambush on Ten Sides (Pipa Song), Sunset Xiaogu (Pipa Song), Yuqiao Q&A (Qin Xiao Song), Hu Ji Eighteen Beats (Guqin Song), Han Palace Qiuyue (Erhu Song), Yangchun Baixue (Pipa Song). These songs are a collection of the wisdom and sweat of the sages, and the artistic conception in them should be savored in the process of reading a wide range of books.

And there are more famous ones such as "Ni Clothes and Feather Clothes Song", which is a fine French song of the Tang Dynasty, composed by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and lost after the Anshi Rebellion. It is said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Kui discovered the eighteen sections of the score of the Shang tune. This piece is a masterpiece of French music in the Tang Dynasty, a masterpiece of Tang song and dance, and until now, it is still worthy of a bright pearl in the history of music and dance. There are many kinds of origins about this song, some say that Xuanzong climbed the Sanxiang Station, looked at the daughter mountain (the legendary fairy mountain), and triggered inspiration; Some theories are based on the record of "Tang Hui Yao": In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Tang Xuanzong changed some music imported from the Western Regions in the way of carving stones too often, and this song was adapted from "Brahmin Song"; Others compromise the first two theories, believing that the first part of this song (loose order) is Xuanzong who looked at his daughter after seeing the mountain and was leisurely fascinated, and after returning to the palace, he made it according to his fantasy; The latter part (Song and Po) was composed by absorbing the tone of the Indian "Brahman" presented by Yang Jingshu, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu.

Why does the uncle want to talk about this song alone, it turns out that this "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" describes the scene of fairy music fluttering and dancing, and the whole song has 36 paragraphs, showing the fairy story of Chinese Taoism. The musical instruments in it are complicated, which not only reflects the high level of music in our country, but also has a high evaluation in the Taoist world, and this kind of romantic imagination is not a kind of yearning for the future life of ordinary people?
