Chapter 153 About the Guqin
Xu Yang secretly screamed and fainted, it seemed that he had been blank for three more days. Suddenly, Xu Yang thought that the last time he fainted, it seemed that it was his ability to upgrade, so this time it should also be his ability upgrade.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang immediately began to test the benefits of his ability upgrade, and at the beginning, Xu Yang didn't find anything special. Perspective, analysis, virtual imaging? So what are the benefits of this upgrade? Could it be that I really fainted this time, and the ability is not what I imagined?
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being, this is Xu Yang's consistent practice, he won't drill the horns because of certain things. Now that he has woken up, he should go out to meet Tang Lao and the others, so that he can know what happened to him that day.
After getting dressed, Xu Yang came downstairs and saw the third elder eating breakfast. Seeing that there was white porridge, Xu Yang's stomach gurgled and couldn't stop thinking. If you don't eat for three days, of course you'll eat.
"Look, I'll just say, this little guy is fine. It's hard to sleep for three days and you're hungry! Come and eat, there's something to talk about after eating. Gao Boli said with a smile.
At this time, Xu Yang was not polite, and served a meal full of wind and clouds, a small pot of white porridge, and Xu Yang ate all the small pickles. After seeing that the three of them only ate a little bit, they scratched their heads a little embarrassedly: "It's a bit too much, if it's not enough, I'll do some!"
"Hahaha, the three of us old guys have a very small amount of food, as long as we eat a little. If you're not full, you can go and do something. Donald laughed.
"I'm full, I'm full! I've never thought of white porridge so delicious. The food is a little bit supportive. Xu Yang 'touched' and 'touched' his stomach and said.
After the meal, Xu Yang cleaned up the table, and everyone came to the living room again, there was still the guqin on the table, this Xu Yang looked at the guqin, and did not feel like he was hypnotized yesterday, but there was a sense of blood connection.
This time, Xu Yang learned to be obedient, sat there honestly, didn't touch the piano, the four of them sat there, and no one spoke. It was Yang Lao who spoke first.
"Xu Yang, do you remember the old man?"
Xu Yang actually noticed this old man when he was eating, and with Xu Yang's current memory, he just remembered who this old man was at a glance, and immediately said: "Hello Yang Lao, I remember you, I saw you on Liu Lao's birthday!"
"It's good to remember 'sex', this is the second time we've met! Don't be too restrained, this piano is yours, right?" asked Yang Lao as pointing to the Jiuxiao Huanpeiqin on the table.
"Yes, I found it yesterday, I haven't thanked Gao Lao and Yang Lao yet, and I still have this piano for its original appearance!" Xu Yang said very sincerely to Gao Boli and Yang Lao.
Gao Boli and Yang Lao heard Xu Yang's thanks, their faces were slightly embarrassed, they didn't make any effort, as for Xu Yang, although the piano on the table has changed a lot, but at a glance they can recognize this piano as the guqin they brought back yesterday.
"Don't thank these two old men, they didn't restore this piano for you, you kid 'made' it yourself!" Donald hit the two unceremoniously.
"I?can't be, I don't remember anything?" Xu Yang pointed to himself, and then tried to recall what happened that day, the only thing he could remember was to 'touch' the guqin, and then he didn't remember, until he remembered the dream he seemed to have.
"You don't remember it at all?" asked Yang Lao immediately anxiously.
"Well, I can't remember anything, I just remember that at that time, my body involuntarily 'touched' the piano, and then I couldn't remember, it's strange to say, I thought my self-control was 'very' strong, but at that time, I just didn't know why my body would be disobedient to touch this piano. ”
Xu Yang said what he felt at the time, three old man, look at me, I'll look at you! They have never encountered this kind of thing in most of their lives, and they really don't know what is going on when they say it, but the words of Yang Lao are now very credible.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, you can only play this piano in the future, and you must tell me when you find that there is a second person who can play this piano. Yang Lao said seriously.
Xu Yang nodded with some puzzlement. Then Yang Lao said: "You don't need me why, in fact, we don't necessarily understand, and we have to investigate it to have a conclusion when we go back, I heard Lao Tang say that you don't know much about the guqin, so I'll explain it to you about this guqin." ”
Xu Yang, who didn't have some doubts, immediately put the question behind him, and now what Yang Lao said is what Xu Yang wants to hear the most. immediately nodded seriously and said to Yang Lao: "Thank you, Yang Lao!"
"Don't be so polite. Speaking of age, you are our grandchildren, we old guys still have a few years to live, and we are about to go into the coffin, so we won't bring some things in, we are happier to be able to bring our younger generations, and you are the most talented kid I have ever seen, so you have to work harder in the future. ”
Xu Yang immediately said that he had been taught, and Yang Lao did not continue on this topic, but pointed to the guqin on the table and said: "This qin is called "Jiuxiao Huan Peiqin", and it is a Tang qin! There is also a similar qin in our Forbidden City, your piano is carved from sycamore wood, and the one in our Forbidden City is indeed carved from cedar wood.
The guqin style is divided into 14 types: Zhongni style, Fuxi style, Liezi style, Lianzhu style, Lingji style, Luoxia style, Lingguan style, banana leaf style, Shennong style, Xiangquan style, Fengshi style, Shikuang style, Ya E, and Heming Qiuyue style. One of the most famous is the Fuxi style!
There is a lot of attention to detail in making a guqin. Let me tell you a simple point, the guqin is generally about 3 feet 6 inches and 5 inches (about 120-125 cm), symbolizing 365 days a year (one says 365 degrees on the week). It is generally about six inches (about 20 cm) wide. It is generally about two inches (about 6 cm) thick. The lower part of the body is flat, and the upper part is arc-shaped and convex, symbolizing heaven and earth respectively, corresponding to the ancient saying that the sky is round and the place is in harmony. The overall shape is made according to the shape of the phoenix body, and its whole body corresponds to the phoenix body (it can also be said to correspond to the human body), with a head, neck, shoulders, waist, tail, and feet.
Originally, the guqin had only five strings, which combined the five elements inside, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the outer five tones, gong, shang, horn, sign, and feather. Later, King Wen was imprisoned in Jinli, missing his son Boyi Kao, and added a string for Wen Xian; Collectively known as the civil and military lyre!
The upper part of the "headstock" is called the forehead. The lower end of the forehead is inlaid with hardwood with strings, called "Yueshan", also known as "Linyue", and is the highest part of the qin. There are two sound grooves at the bottom of the piano, the larger one in the middle is called "Dragon Pond", and the smaller one in the tail is called "Fengnuma". This is called going up the mountain and going down, and there are dragons and phoenixes, symbolizing all the things in heaven and earth. There is a strip of hardwood on the forehead side of the mountain, which is called "bearing 'dew'". There are seven "string eyes" on it, which are used to tie the strings. There are seven "pianos" for tuning. At the side end of the headstock, there are "phoenix eyes" and "guards". From the waist down, it is called the "tail". The tail is inlaid with a shallow grooved hardwood "gum" to set the strings. The trim on both sides of the dragon's gum is called "crown horn", also known as "scorched tail"!
The seven strings carry the "dew" part, pass through the mountain and the dragon's gum, and turn to a pair of "goose feet" at the bottom of the piano, symbolizing the seven stars!
In the abdomen of the piano, there are two dark grooves on the head, one is a "tongue 'acupoint'", one is a "sound pool", and one is a "Nayin" There is also a dark groove at the end, which is called "Yunnuma". Corresponding to the dragon pond and the phoenix swamp, there is often a "Nayin" for each. There is a "heavenly pillar" on the head side of Longchi Nayin, and an "earth pillar" on the tail side. When the voice is spoken, "the sound 'desire' comes out and is narrow, lingering, but there is an aftertaste." Because the piano does not have a "pin" (column) or "yard", it is very convenient to play flexibly, and it has the characteristics of particularly long effective strings, large amplitude of strings, and long aftersounds, so it has its unique hand sound!
In terms of structure, the structure of each part of the piano is very reasonable. Its size is not too large, it is not small, it is easy to carry, and it is square and elegant. There is a heart to taste the piano, and its shape is enough to make people happy. From the naming of the various parts of the qin, it can also be seen that the qin system is influenced by Confucianism......"
Yang Lao said very carefully, Xu Yang listened to the 'fascination', Yang Lao himself said, about the understanding of the gule qin, he thinks that he is definitely in the top five in the country, in fact, this is a modest statement, the top three or the first person in the country is not an exaggeration!
In the next chapter, we will continue to explain this guqin about Xu Yang............
