Chapter 154: The Great Road is Simple

Xia Chengyin looked calm and enjoyed everyone's praise. This alone was not enough, he also raised his wine glass, and said to Instructor Zhang with a toast:

"There must be many deficiencies in the music that the students have written temporarily, and I ask the gentleman to teach ......"

Temporary book on? You're not wrong - such a complex song, can't it only be "written" on the spot! To say that you created it on an improvised basis...... Do you think I'm stupid?

But then again, as long as it's a new song, no one can say that it's not Xia Chengyin's original! The premise is that the composer himself does not pursue the ......

Instructor Zhang knew it in his heart, he twisted his beard, but he was thinking far away - he was invited by Xia Chengyin today, to put it bluntly, he was here to support Xia Chengyin's platform! But if the sycophants are too loud and the good words are too much, it is inevitable that they will be too flattering and lose the dignity of the division commander.

But Instructor Zhang can sit here at the moment because of another thing - just the day before yesterday, he received a handwritten letter from the old lady of the Ikawa Xia family. The wording was very polite, and he repeatedly asked him to take care of this only grandson...... Mrs. Xia represents Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia happens to be a "star" in today's literary world, judging from his prime age, he still has at least 10 years of glory in the political arena. The Xia family is not a family, and they are not very good at taking the road of cultivation, Xia Chengyin, as the only son of Xia Taifu, is almost certain to enter politics in the future.

Teacher Zhang is a teacher of a county public school, a "career establishment", not from Wenzong, and has no backers, if it goes on like this, he will be a teacher for the rest of his life. But Mrs. Xia's letter and the relationship between Xia Chengyin and his master and apprentice all made his originally somewhat "tranquil" mind come alive. In his heart, he was already inclined to hug the thighs of the Xia family!

This is also the reason why he invited Teacher Meng to the banquet with him, although the latter refused, he still decided to appear.

These thoughts flashed through Instructor Zhang, and now he had to do something for his son on the thigh. So he coughed lightly, and then said in a tone peculiar to a literati:

"The clouds are too empty, who will realize the big dream! I listened to Xia Sheng's song, and I already have the rhyme of 'truth'! ”

Okay! Boy! Reason, this is no longer a boast, but a way to raise this song to a kind of avenue and reason! Everyone is a scholar, and when they hear this, they can't help but "despise" Instructor Zhang in their hearts - you are really level, this sycophant has found a different way!

But then again, there is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. Literary and artistic works have a strong subjective color, and the evaluation depends on the critic's own preferences. The song itself is not bad, and it is indeed magnificent, and the teacher of the chapter put it together on the top of "Tao" and "Li", and added the prefix of "I think", no one can say whether it is or not.

"What the gentleman said is so true! This song is my ...... one day No, one night stargazing! The so-called heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, and the kind of inspiration that points directly to the avenue made me think a lot, and I had the prototype of this song...... Since Mr. just now said, 'The clouds are too empty, who will realize the big dream first', I decided that this song will be named "Sleepwalking in the Void", how about it? ”

Shameless...... You just said that you wrote it temporarily, and now you say that you have a feeling of stargazing on a certain day...... Sleepwalking is too empty, are you afraid that you want to go to heaven?

It is not that there are no people who do not understand the rhythm of music. This piece has momentum, but it is not perfect after all, in retrospect, its prelude to the climax is a little dragged, completely through the pitch climb and melody ups and downs of the section by section to create momentum, at first glance it is fine, but after listening to it a few times, you will feel that "form is more important than content". In other words, the main theme of its own is really not memorable!

To put it in layman's terms, take some sonatas in reality as an example, this kind of music is very long and very narrative, but most of the melodies will be forgotten after listening, and only a small part of the wonderful passages will be memorized. And it is precisely these wonderful little passages that determine whether this piece can be widely circulated.

This point is common in literature and art. Another example is a poem, it is impossible to have famous sentences throughout, but it will not show the essence. One or two finishing touches can make the grade of the poem rise sharply!

And Xia Chengyin's song just belongs to "no problem, but not too exciting". It's no wonder that the former court musician who caught the knife for Xia Gongzi was good at this kind of music style with few waves and overall grace and luxury (not seeking merit but seeking no fault), and he was forced to hold it out, and if the inspiration did not arrive, how could there be any wonderful passages...... It's nice to be able to write like this!

Zhou Daoan will not care about this. As an opponent, all he has to do is pick thorns! Just like Xia Chengyin said that the Pure Heart and Pure Kindness Mantra is just a small song, even if this big song is not targeted, I have to find fault with you!

"This song is not difficult to listen to, but if you want to say how good it is, I really can't feel it." Zhou Daoan spoke, "If this song can express too illusory realm, then this fantasy realm is too unremarkable."

"As for saying that this song has the charm of 'Tao' and 'Reason', it is even more far-fetched. The truth is never invisible, and there are thousands of forms to use tangible things to compare intangible things. I have to raise it so high, but I am suspected of killing. Therefore, good words love to hear, loyal words are contrary to ears, Xia classmates must not take the praise seriously! ”

Xia Chengyin was about to laugh angrily at Zhou Daoan's big troll, "Kill? Hehe, why is Zhou's words so sour? Why, are you only allowed to say that you are a poet, and not that others are allowed to say that I am a musician? The Zhou family is really domineering! ”

He is not a vegetarian either, so he gave Zhou Daoan a big hat first, "Classmate Zhou just made a song, it looks like it is from an unknown ancient book, and it is not a song made by you - I even doubt that you really understand the rhythm of music!" My piece is in line with the rhythm and the right way, supplemented by other silk and bamboo orchestras, and it can be even grander! It's ridiculous that Zhou doesn't know what Daqu and Zhengyin are at all, and can only comment indiscriminately! Let me ask you, is there anything that can be changed in the tone of this piece? If you can make this song better, I'll take what you say! Otherwise, you're just a villain who talks nonsense and makes strong arguments! ”

Xia Chengyin's routine is very habitual! And he had already quietly asked Bi Xiao before playing music, knowing that Zhou Daoan only took out the score last time, and did not show any musical talent, so he seriously doubted whether this kid understood music or not.

But, this is just speculation, Xia Chengyin has also learned to be obedient! What if Zhou Daoan really understands music? That's why he threw out the second layer of insurance - this big piece is complicated in music, and each note needs to be scrutinized repeatedly. The servants around him could tell him that the former court musician had spent a lot of energy on the composition at that time, and had said that this piece could no longer be changed, and as long as it was changed, it would be discordant.

Therefore, he threw out this difficult problem of changing the song, but he actually dug a pit for Zhou Daoan! If you think you have some talent and dare to change this tune, you will know in a moment what is going on.

"I'm sorry, but this song is finalized, and I can't interfere. It's like a mediocre-looking person, how many points of makeup can be relied on to improve their appearance? That's going to have to be a facelift...... No, it's just a matter of disguise! ”

The words of the big troll Zhou Daoan are really damaging and poisonous! Although none of you here have heard of appearance, plastic surgery, etc., it does not prevent everyone from understanding the meaning.

Xia Chengyin also understood, so he became even more popular. was about to open his mouth to refute, when suddenly Bi Xiao next to him spoke-

"Zhou Gongzi has always been a layman who looks at the excitement, and an insider who looks at the doorway. You commented here for a long time, only saying that Xia Gongzi's music is not good, but if you don't change the song, and second, you can't come up with a work that surpasses this song, isn't it too unconvincing? Bi Xiao doesn't understand any reason, if there is a lie, please ask the son to forgive the sin. ”

This Nizi couldn't help it. said forgiveness on his lips, but there was no apology on his face for offending.

However, her words were unanimously approved by Xia Chengyin's side. Teacher Lian Zhang twisted his beard, nodded again and again, and said:

"Miss Bi Xiao is very kind! Zhou Sheng, you can either change the song or come up with a better work. It is not convincing to talk about it here. As far as the song you just came up with is concerned, although it is good, it is still a lot worse than this kind of upright music. It's far-fetched to say that this song is reasonable, but can you explain it yourself? Or do you make a melody that makes sense? ”

Instructor Zhang didn't plan to be polite to Zhou Daoan anymore - the other party sprayed himself first and touted Xia Chengyin indiscriminately! He was secretly angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he still put on a fair appearance, and put forward a request that seemed reasonable, but was actually difficult for a strong man.

A song that makes sense? That's a big question! If you can't make such a piece, you're not qualified to comment on other people's work. This is exactly the same as the theory of "you can do it, don't talk about it" in reality!

This is purely a scoundrel! Does it be true that a customer who goes to a restaurant must be a Michelin chef to comment on the taste of the dish? Could it be that the old men who read novels must be literary scholars to be able to spray writers?

But Instructor Zhang's words came out first, and if Zhou Daoan wanted to debate, he would undoubtedly take the question in another direction. Moreover, even if he argues reasonably, he can't convince the public, and he can't suppress Xia Chengyin. The most effective way to fight your opponent is to come up with the real thing!

All right! Zhou Daoan really doesn't know how to compose. Speaking of music, if you count the KTV and Children's Palace career in his previous life, he is still a layman. But this does not prevent him from being a music lover, a KTV Maiba, and an apprentice of the Children's Palace in his previous life...... He won't change the tune, but if he wants to "bring it" to the opponent, can't he do it?

Originally, Zhou Daoan planned to continue to use poetry to suppress his opponent, after all, he had a lot of good words and sentences in his previous life in his stomach. However, since Xia Chengyin is so shameless that he even has to add his musical talent to himself, then Zhou Daoan wants him to see what a "good Chinese song" is!

"Instructor Zhang, have you ever heard of 'the road to simplicity'?"
