Later generations used the qin and the song to show that the relationship between the two can be said to be very close, especially the corresponding allusion description in this idiom, which shows that the qin and the song have already become a far-reaching way of playing:
At the age of 18, Li Qingzhao married Zhao Mingcheng, a student of Tai. Zhao Mingcheng is a handsome son, very well-read, cool and good at calligraphy and painting, especially good at gold and stone appreciation. His father was an official to the prime minister, and he was also an official eunuch and a scholarly family. The two are a good match, like-minded, often sing poems and harmonize, and study Jinshi calligraphy and painting together, with indescribable joy.
"Sell flowers and buy a branch of spring. The tears are lightly stained evenly, still with the traces of dawn and dew. I'm afraid Lang guessed that slave noodles are not as good as flower noodles. The cloud sideburns are oblique hairpins, and the disciples want to teach Lang to compare and see. This charming and coquettish gesture is the happiness after marriage, revealing the sweetness of Li Qingzhao's heart.
When he got married, Zhao Mingcheng was 21 years old, studying in Taixue, and he had no money. The couple cut down on food and clothing, often pawned quality clothes, and went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to collect gold and stone calligraphy and paintings. At that time, Daxiangguo Temple was the most prosperous and lively place in the capital, and the temple could accommodate 10,000 people to trade, and there were places to sell books, calligraphy, paintings and antiques. Once he finds a rare antiquity but is shy in his pocket, Zhao Mingcheng will not hesitate to take off his clothes as collateral. Back at home, the husband and wife sat opposite each other in front of the lamp, talking, laughing, rubbing and watching, full of romance and warmth.
In their spare time, they enjoy flowers and poems, talk heartily, and sometimes play some intellectual games. They poured fragrant tea, randomly named a certain allusion, and guessed the volume, page, and line of the book. Those who guess correctly drink tea, and those who do not win are not allowed to drink. Every time he competes, Li Qingzhao always wins. When Zhao Mingcheng drew the book to verify, Li Qingzhao was already full of confidence in raising his glass in his hand, laughing heartily, laughing so much that the tea splashed out of his arms.
Although the relationship between the qin and the seer is not directly explained, later generations mostly use the harmony of the qin and the song, and the harmony of the qin and the seer:
Xu Yan's "Ten Songs of the Green Building": "The union is united and exhausted in this life, the piano is harmonious, and the phoenix is harmonious." β
Shen Shouxian's "Three-Yuan Reunion": "Husband and wife and obedience are determined today, this marriage is long-lasting, and the piano is harmonious and happy." Also known as "Piano Se reconciled".
"Liao Zhai Zhi Yi Sun Sheng": "Sun You is reconciled with Qin Se. gave birth to a boy and two girls, and never had a corner for more than ten years. Also known as "Qin Se and Tong".
"Selected Group Sounds": "I wish my heart to win the laurel and ride the dragon, how can I hook the fish and water to meet, and the piano and the same one." β
"Poetry Xiaoya Tangtang": "The wife is so compatible, like a drum and a piano." Later, he used "piano and seer harmony" as a metaphor for the couple's harmonious relationship.
Wang Ziyi's "Mistaken into the Peach Spring" is folded in four folds: "Today is also harmonious with fish and water, swallows and warblers are in pairs, and the piano is in harmony." β
Wang Tingne's "Lion's Roar and Fu'er": "The piano is blended, Zhilan vomits again, and the three migrates are the virtuous mother." Also known as "Piano Harmony".
"Selected Group Sounds": "The piano is harmonious, and a hundred years of reunion." β
Moreover, it can be seen from the following statement that it is very likely that the qin is two complementary musical instruments that were invented one after another.

The origin of the serpent is very old, and it accounts for the largest proportion of stringed instruments found in archaeology. Its excavations are concentrated in the three provinces of Hubei, Hunan and Henan, and most of them come from the tombs of Chu in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Other provinces, such as Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Liaoning, have only a few sporadic discoveries. The literature records that "Ku Xi" is a seer.
Legend has it that there was already a Thor in the Xia Dynasty. The word "music" on the oracle bone inscription has the word "silk" on the top and the word "wood" below. If you want to use strings, then the production of silk should be after the appearance of silk. The raw material of strings is at least the technology to reel silk to make strings. The stringed instruments before and after the pre-Qin period were the qin and se.
Another speculation is that instruments such as the harp may be related to hunting bowstrings. Of course, the raw material of the bowstring can also be made from beef tendon or other animal leather bands. In the 1984 replica of the Se unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, the thickest bass strings are ox tendon strings.
Se is one of the earliest stringed instruments in our country, the pre-Qin Dynasty was extremely popular, the Han Dynasty was also very popular, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were often used to accompany the song of Xianghe, the Tang Dynasty used a lot, and the later generations gradually used less.
"The Book of Poetry" has: "...... Qin Se beats the drum, to Yu Tian Zu, to pray for Ganyu, to introduce my millet, to Gu my native girl. This is the earliest record in ancient books, indicating that Se is at least 3,000 years old. Confucius was good at drumming and used to accompany poetry, and at that time, Confucius was the first to become a family, known as "Confucius Zhise" ("The Analects of Advanced";" From the Se, Xi is the gate of the hill")
"Zhou Rite Musical Instrument Diagram" records: Ya Se 23 strings, Song Se 25 strings, decorated with precious jade, said "Bao Se", painted like brocade, said "Jin Se".
"Hanshu Suburban Ritual Record" said: "Emperor Tai's order is to drum fifty strings, sad, the emperor can't stop forbidding, so he breaks his soul for twenty-five strings." Later, the production of Se gradually refined and became more versatile. In the family temple of King Fengwen in the Zhou Dynasty, a silk string dyed vermilion is tied on it, and there is a sparse sound hole at the bottom, which can make a soothing sound when playing.

The earliest Se has fifty strings, so it is also called "fifty strings", and there are records in the Book of Songs, "My Fair Lady, Qin Se Friend", "I have guests, drums and drums". Se has disappeared for thousands of years, and now "Youlan Han Music" will once again present the legendary sound on the stage, the piano and the sound of the music such as flowing water, such as the phoenix, such as the south wind, such as the moon, leading us into the deep fragrance of nature.
Ancient stringed instruments. It has a long history. "The Book of Music" quotes the "World Book": "Sacrifice and Se". According to the record of "Etiquette", in the ancient township drinking ceremony, township shooting ceremony, and swallow ceremony, they all sang with the accompaniment of Se. From the Warring States period to the Qin and Han dynasties, the "joy of the war" prevailed. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Se was a common musical instrument that accompanied Xianghe songs. It was used for Qingle during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Later, it was only used for court music and Ding festival music.
In the Zhou and Han dynasties, there were many discoveries in archaeological excavations. The No. 1 Chu Tomb of Liuchengqiao in Changsha, Hunan Province (about the late Spring and Autumn Period or the early Warring States Period) was unearthed, which is the earliest known physical object. The Chu tombs in Xinyang, Henan, Jiangling, Hubei, the tomb of Zeng Marquis B in Suixian, Hubei, and the No. 1 Han tomb of Mawangdui in Changsha have all been unearthed, and the number of strings ranges from 23 to 25 strings, and most of them are 25 strings.
In this respect, the history of Se may be later than that of Qin, but it is more about the fact that Se also dominated the development of ancient Han music.

In addition to the qin, the ancient Chinese musical instrument guzheng is also a famous representative of plucked string instruments: that is, the guzheng.
Guzheng, also known as Han Zheng, Qin Zheng, Yao Zheng, Luan Zheng, is a Zheng instrument in the traditional musical instruments of the Han nationality, which belongs to plucked instruments. It is one of the unique and important national musical instruments in China. It has a beautiful timbre, a wide range, rich playing skills, and quite strong expressiveness, so it is deeply loved by the masses. Now there are also small zithers, portable zithers, mini zithers, half zithers, new zithers, and 12 equal law transfer ziters. The guzheng is an ancient national musical instrument that accompanies China's long-standing culture and is native to this fertile loess soil. It is a plucked musical instrument, and its structure is composed of a panel, a goose pillar (also called a zither yard in some sections), a string, a front mountain, a string nail, a tuning box, a foot, a back mountain, a side plate, a sound outlet, a bottom plate, and a string hole.
The shape of the Zheng is a rectangular wooden speaker, the string frame "Zheng Pillar" (i.e. the Yan Pillar) can move freely, one string and one tone, arranged according to the pentatonic scale, the earliest 25-string Zheng is the most (divided into Zheng), there are thirteen strings in the Tang and Song dynasties, and then increased to sixteen, eighteen strings, Twenty-one strings, etc., the most commonly used specifications are twenty-one strings; usually the model of the guzheng is preceded by S163-21, S stands for S-shaped Yueshan, which is jointly invented by Wang Xunzhi and Miao Jinlin, 163 represents the length of the zither is about 163 cm, and 21 represents the number of zither strings 21.
As early as the Warring States Period from the 5th century BC to the 3rd century BC, it was widely spread in the area of the Qin State (now Shaanxi) at that time, also known as Qin Zheng. Counting up, it is more than 2,500 years old.
The guzheng is an ancient Han ethnic musical instrument, with a total of 10 levels. During the Warring States Period, it was prevalent in the "Qin" region, and the information cited in the "Book of Li Silie's Biography and Expulsion of Guests" recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" is quite worthy of our attention. Li Si's "Book of Exhortations to the Guest" mentions a passage about the music and dance of the Qin State: "The husband hits the urn, knocks, plays the kite, and fights, and the song is whining and whining." The voice of the true Qin also. Zheng Weisang, Shaoyu, martial elephants, exotic pleasures. It is also said that the zither was a weapon during the Warring States period, which was used to wave vertically and hit people. There is also an old saying that "the zither is a pleasure, and it becomes a soldier on the ground". Later, strings were added to it, and when plucked, it was found to be pleasant to the ear, so it developed into a musical instrument. With the passage of time, weapons became lighter and lighter, and the zither, which was large in size and not light in weight, was abandoned. Therefore, the zithers that people see today are in the form of musical instruments, with beautiful forms and decorations.
In the Han Dynasty, Ying Shao's "Customs and Customs" contained: Zheng, "I would like to press the "Book of Rites and Music", five strings, and build a body. Today, Liang Erzhou Zheng is like a seer, I don't know who changed it. Or it is said that it was created by Meng Tian. From Ying Shao's "Customs and Customs", it can be seen that the system of Zheng before the Han Dynasty should be "five strings, build the body", but at that time, "and (Shan) Liang (Gansu) Erzhou Zheng is like a seer", Ying Shao does not know who made the reform, and also recorded the rumor of "made by Meng Tian", which shows that the Han Dynasty has spread the Zheng in the northwest region.
Du You of the Tang Dynasty said in "Tongdian Music IV": "Zheng, Qin Sheng; Fu Xuan's "Zheng Fu Preface" said: "I thought it was made by Meng Tian." Looking at its instrument today, the upper is like the sky, the lower is flat like the ground, the hollow quasi-**, the string pillar is intended to be December, the four images are set in, the drum is five tones, and the instrument of benevolence and wisdom is not Mengtian's minister Guan Sizai. And there is a note that says: "Jinqing Lezheng has ten two strings, and he Leken has ten three strings." Roll the zither and roll it with bamboo slices to run its end. The kite is played with bone claws, more than an inch long, to refer to it. β
Ying Shao's "Customs and Customs" said that the zither is "five strings and building the body". However, what kind of style "building" is, the literature of the past dynasties is unknown. In 1973, the No. 3 Han Tomb of Mawangdui in Changsha unearthed a Han Ming vessel. The reason why this building is said to be a Ming vessel is because although the vessel is painted with black lacquer, it is carved from a single wood. Solid, not conducive to resonance, if used to play, can not get enough volume. In addition, the instrument is about 34 centimeters long, which is obviously too short for playing, and the "Tongdian" records that the length of the Tang Dynasty is four feet three inches, and although there are differences between the evolution of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the difference is not so great. These reasons are enough to prove that it is a Ming vessel, which is like a small seer with a handle, and the first nail of the surface is nailed with a horizontal row of bamboo nails, a row of five, which is consistent with the record of "Customs and Customs". The style of this Ming vessel is the same as that of Se, which seems to indicate that the styles of Se, Zhu, and Zheng are extremely similar.
The relationship between Zheng, Zhu and Se is neither divided into Zheng, nor evolved from Zheng to Zheng, but is likely to be the same source of Zheng and Zheng Coexistence. The five-string bamboo zither evolved into a twelve-string wooden zither, and the cylindrical resonance structure evolved into the long box-shaped resonance structure of the Se body, which may have been reformed with reference to the structure of the Se. The strings, the pins are arranged on the left side of the panel parallel to the yard, the strings are made of metal (steel or copper), and the tortoiseshell nails (i.e., fingernails) are generally worn on the right hand when playing. The tuning is a three-octave range of pentatonic scale (i.e., the first key), mostly in the key of G or D, and less often in the key of F or C or A.
Zhu is an ancient Chinese percussion instrument, shaped like a zheng, with thirteen strings and a column under the strings. When playing, press one end of the string with your left hand and hold a bamboo ruler with your right hand to strike the strings. Tsukuki was a popular musical instrument during the Warring States period.
"Attacking" originated from "Warring States Policy Yan Ce". The building is related to Jing Ke.
At the end of the Warring States period, Han and Zhao were destroyed by the Qin State successively, and the crown prince Dan of the Yan State was also imprisoned in the Qin State as a hostage. He fled back from the state of Qin and vowed revenge. Later, the Qin State attacked the Yan State, and the Yan State was about to perish. In order to save the situation from peril, Prince Dan of Yan decided to let Jing Ke assassinate the King of Qin. However, Jing Ke had no intention of moving after coming to Yan Kingdom, seeing that the Qin soldiers were about to enter Yan Kingdom, Prince Dan was very anxious and urged Jing Ke to set off as soon as possible. Jing Ke personally went to see Fan Yuzhi, and after hearing this, Fan Yuzhi drew his sword and killed himself. So, Jing Ke took Fan Yuzhi's head, hid the dagger in the map, and took the chivalrous Qin Wuyang to complete the mission. On the day of Jing Ke's departure, Prince Dan and his guests were dressed in white, and came to see off Jing Ke and them, all the way to the north bank of Yishui in the south of Yan Kingdom, and then set up a wine banquet to say goodbye to each other. Jing Ke's friend Gao Yanli personally built it, and Jing Ke sang "Yishui Song" with the beat. In the tragic singing, Jing Ke whipped west. However, the assassination attempt failed, and Jing Ke was finally killed by the King of Qin.
Building is a kind of percussion instrument in ancient China, similar to the zheng, there are thirteen strings, there is a pillar under the string, hit it with a bamboo ruler, the sound is tragic. When playing, press one end of the string with your left hand and strike the string with your right hand. In modern times, this instrument has died out, and Chikuno was a popular instrument during the Warring States period.
In ancient times, there was a stringed instrument in our country - Zhu, and its shape was described in the "Hanshu Gao Di Ji": "The shape is like a piano and big, the head is a string, and it is struck with bamboo, so it is called Zhu." This musical instrument is an ancient musical instrument of the pre-Qin era, originating from the south of our country, and its sound is sad and agitated, and it is widely spread among the people. "Warring States Policy Yan Ce" records that Jing Kexi stabbed the King of Qin, the prince Dan Yishui said goodbye, his friend Gao gradually left the building, Jing Ke and the song said: "The wind is Xiao Xiao and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone." β
and "Historical Records of the Assassins" contains: Gao gradually left the lead and placed it in the building, and was sentenced to death at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Both of these stories are recorded in the building of the building. Regrettably and confusingly, the Zhugong instrument has been lost since the Song Dynasty. For hundreds of years, I have only seen records, not real objects.
In this regard, although Zhang Jiashi does not think that plucked stringed instruments such as qin, se, guzheng and zhu cannot be used in military bands, Zhang Jiashi will worry about whether it will evolve into a glamorous sound by simply using this instrument.
Besides, the people who can be good at playing these instruments are all people who have practiced for a long time, and such people are used as military combat personnel, and Zhang Jiashi has no intention of destroying the heavens.
After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and many soldiers may be able to use these instruments in this regard, but Zhang Jiashi finally gave up the idea of a military band composed of plucked stringed instruments.
......
In addition to plucked string instruments and percussion instruments, there were also many wind instruments in ancient China.
It's like a lot of indiscriminate refills.
Zhu, an ancient reed wind instrument, resembles a sheng but is larger, and the number of pipes is also larger. It was widely circulated from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty. The original 36 tubes were later reduced to 23 tubes, with a height of 78 cm. The bucket and mouth are made of wood, and the paint is crimson color. There are 22 pipes, which are scraped with bamboo pipes with a diameter of about 08 cm, the longest is 78 cm, and the shortest is 14 cm. It is divided into two rows and inserted into the bucket, eleven in each row, and fixed with four to five smeaks. The upper end is decorated with a crimson Luo Qi belt. A "plug" is inserted at the upper end of a long tube in the front row. The tube and its adjacent long tube have two sound holes at the lower end, and two round holes in the bucket near the inside of the tube. The same is true for the two long pipes in the back.
"Han Feizi Jie Lao": "Those who are also long, the length of the five tones, so the first Zhu is followed by the bell, and all the music is harmonious when sung." Its shape is like a sheng and larger, and there are many images of blowing pipes in the Han Dynasty figurines and stone carvings.
According to the records of Zheng Xuan's note in "Zhou Lichun Guansheng Master", Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi", and Ying Shao's "Customs and Customs", Zhu is a musical instrument. People all know the allusion of "indiscriminate filling", which shows its popularity in ancient times. The ancients Huang Tao wrote a poem "Provincial Test - Blowing the Pipe": "Qi Zhu is now going through the test, and the truth is not difficult to know. If you want to make a sound, you must make them blow one by one. There is no mistake in succession, and whether it can be immediately uneven. The second teaching is single, and the palace merchant is different. β
And in addition to the zhu, there is also a wind instrument similar to the zhu, and that is the sheng.
Sheng, an ancient wind instrument of the Han nationality in China, is the earliest musical instrument in the world to use free reeds, and has played a positive role in promoting the development of Western musical instruments. In 1978, the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng in Suixian County, Hubei Province, China, unearthed several sheng more than 2,400 years ago, which is the earliest sheng found in China.
The oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Dynasty (1401-1122 BC) already have the name "He" (Xiaosheng). During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sheng was very popular, and it coexisted with the zhu, which was not only the main instrument for vocal accompaniment at that time, but also in the form of ensemble and solo. From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, Zhu and Sheng were still used together, but Zhu was generally only used for Yale and gradually lost its role in history, while Sheng was used in the Sui and Tang dynasties in the nine parts of Yan music, Qingle in the ten parts of music, Xiliang music, Gaoli music, and Qiuzi music. At that time, the shape of the sheng mainly had 19 springs, 17 springs, and 13 springs. In the Tang Dynasty, there were seventeen springs of the righteous pipe, in addition to the seventeen springs, there were two other righteous pipes, and when needed, it was temporarily installed. The early sheng was made of bamboo, which was later changed to copper. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the sheng circulated by the folk had various different shapes of sheng, such as square, round, large and small.
The sheng is an ancient reed wind instrument in China, with a long history, and can play harmony. It is pronounced with a reed and a pipe with vibration, and the reed can vibrate freely in the spring frame, making it the first musical instrument in the world to use a free reed.
The historical records of the Three Emperors recorded: "The surname of Nuwa's style has sacred virtues, and she is called Nu Xi on behalf of Miyi, and she is called Nu Xi, and she is sheng huang." However, Nuwa did not have a sheng at that time, but only made a sheng reed, and the sheng reed at this time was probably made of bamboo and wood chips, and could only produce different sounds. In the Tang, Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties, the development was made by inserting several bamboo springs into the dry shell of the gourd (the Miao and Wei ethnic groups in the Yunnan-Guizhou border still use this kind of sheng).
As far back as the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, China already had the prototype of Sheng. In the unearthed Yin (1401 B.C. ~ 1122 B.C.) ruins oracle bone inscription, there is a record of "and". "And" is the predecessor of Xiaosheng in later generations. "Erya Shile" records: "The big sheng is the nest, and the small one is the sum." β
In the classification of ancient musical instruments in China, the sheng is a musical instrument. The "Xiao Ya Lu Ming" of the "Book of Songs" wrote: "I have guests, drumming and blowing sheng. Blowing the sheng drum spring, the basket is the will", it can be seen that the sheng was already very popular at that time.
In the documents from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty, two similar musical instruments, the sheng and the zhu, are recorded together. "Zhou Lichun Official" has; "Shengshi,...... He is in charge of teaching the sheng, sheng, xun, xiao, chi, zhen, and guan. "Sheng" is the official name, and its position is to be in charge of the practice of musical instruments such as the flute and sheng. The difference between the sheng and the sheng is that the sheng body is small and the spring is few; In the early days, both of them were inserted into the gourd with a woven tube with embedded springs, and the gourd was used as a resonant body, so some documents believe that the zhu is a sheng of different shapes, such as the high embroidery note in the "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Midsummer Period": "Zhu, the big one of the sheng". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sheng was an important wind instrument. It was also widely popular among the court, nobility, or burghers for a time.
The Eastern Han Dynasty's "Shuowen Jie Zi" recorded that Zhu was 36 springs. A flute, 22 pipes, was unearthed from the No. 1 Han Tomb in Mawangdui, Changsha, which was used to produce bass, and the reed was made of copper sheets. From the unearthed pottery figurines of the Western Han Dynasty and the portraits of the Eastern Han Dynasty stone carvings, it can also be seen that Zhu occupies an important position in the Hundred Opera Band.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, Zhu still existed, but it was no longer used in the nine- and ten-part music, while the sheng was used in the Qingle, Xiliangle, Gaoli, and Qiuzi music in the Sui nine-part music and the Tang ten-part music. In the Tang Dynasty, many famous sheng players emerged, and their skills reached a high level. Many poets in the Tang Dynasty also wrote poems for Sheng.
In the Song Dynasty, Zhu disappeared, and in the thirteen parts of the teaching workshop, there was only sheng color and no Zhu color.
In the past, the sheng did not have a wide vocal range, and was generally only used for ensemble or accompaniment, and was rarely used for solo performance. When the music is not enough, it is often used to play the sound. Today, the reformed sheng has become a solo instrument with rich expressiveness, which can not only play strong and powerful tunes, but also play beautiful lyrical melodies, such as "Peacock Opens the Screen" and "Phoenix Spreads Its Wings".
Faced with this kind of wind instrument that is not too small, and Zhang Jiashi, who has heard a lot of Zhu Sheng ensembles, finally gave up the idea of using these two instruments directly.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
It was because of this series of reasons that Zhang Jiashi finally gave up the idea of bamboo slips for the military band......
