"Ahh

"Do these two poems have anything to do with the answer to the question?"

"It's a little dizzy, I can't understand ......"

“......”

After listening to Su Bai recite a few lines of poetry, the audience who didn't know why it instantly blew up the barrage.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Lao seemed to have a touch and a hint of enlightenment, looked at Su Bai and asked, "...... Why? ”

Su Bai didn't answer directly, but asked first: "In Mr.'s opinion, what dynasty was the music culture of the flower planter the most brilliant?" ”

"It is generally accepted that during the more than 300 years of the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the development of flower-planting music culture reached the pinnacle in history."

"Yes, the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty."

Su Bai sighed: "Two Tang poems, one is Liu Changqing's "Listening to the Qin", and the other is Wang Changling's "From the Army", the former is the 'Five Words Great Wall', and the latter is known as the 'Seven Absolute Holy Hands', both of them belong to the same era. ”

"It was an era of great musical changes, the Han and Wei dynasties in the south of the Qing music still used the qin, and after the Tang Dynasty, 'Yan music' became a new generation of sound, and the musical instruments were mainly imported from the Western Regions, that is, today's West Asia and Yi, foreign musical instruments brought new trends, and the public's appreciation of interest has also undergone earth-shaking changes."

"In this context, let's take a look at the two poets' views on the new wave music of the time."

"One said, our guqin is so good, the music is so elegant, it's a pity that the world is declining, the general public doesn't know how to appreciate it at all, and the lyre with the style of a gentleman will become an antique if no one plays it, ahh

Su Bai joked: "Tsk, doesn't it sound like you're complaining and whining, and at the same time you're out of the so-called worldly to appear to be very high?" ”

"Poof!"

"Hahaha!"

"Brother is so cute!"

"Well, to hear you say that, this poem is really like this."

"Poof, because Liu Changqing's poetry has always given people the feeling that they love to complain, no matter what they see, they can complain, such as not meeting talents, ambitions are difficult to pay, and so on."

"It's really yes, if you compare him with Wang Changling, it also expresses the meaning of Huai Cai, Liu Changqing wrote 'Qingpao has been mistaken for Confucianism', Wang Changling said, 'A piece of ice heart is in the jade pot', even the expression of poetry is the same, imagine someone asking, and then say your thoughts, haha, it is true that the former is more complaining, and the latter is more open-minded."

"Wait, what? Our traditional musical instrument, the pipa, is actually foreign? ”

"Yes, it came from Persia, which is now the Liangyi side, and the Tang people call it the Qiuzi Pipa."

"Wow! I suddenly understand what my brother means! ”

“......”

The audience was amused by Du Subai's interpretation, and the barrage was boiling, and at the same time, after understanding the background of the times, they faintly began to understand what Su Bai wanted to express.

"Of course, I didn't mean to belittle Liu Changqing, don't get me wrong, and I think it's good for him to be straightforward and explicit like this."

Su Bai smiled and continued: "His point of view is very clear, anyway, I will be traditional, I will be conservative, I will be old-fashioned, I will be high, I will be out of step with the times, but at the same time, I will not give up my ancient tune because people don't play today, it's no problem at all, it's really good." ”

And also facing the newborn Yan Le, let's see what Wang Changling said, and even play the Qiang flute Guan Shanyue, without the sorrow of the golden boudoir. The pipa dances and changes the sound, always closing the old feelings. ”

"The Qiang flute played a song "Guan Shanyue", the army danced, and the accompanying pipa turned out a new sound, but no matter how it was renovated, every time I heard the tune of "Guan Shanyue", it would always arouse the nostalgia of the border soldiers."

"I think that if these two people with very different personalities and opinions were put together at that time, they would probably be inseparable and inseparable, right? But in our view today, it is clear who wins and who loses. ”

After reading and comparing the poems of the two a little, and after making a little joke, Su Bai stopped directly and did not speak again.

In fact, there is no need to say anything more, when it comes to this, you will naturally understand it.

As Su Bai said, how to look at the current situation of the decline of traditional musical instruments and folk art, and even how to inherit the excellent traditional culture under the tide of the times and develop better, in fact, history has already given us the answer.

To this day, the guqin is still the guqin, and the foreign trendy musical instrument pipa has led the coquettish for more than a thousand years, and finally became our traditional musical instrument.

As for why?

It's always a farewell to the old people!

The reason why the Tang Dynasty is recognized as the most glorious period of flower planting music is because of the prosperity of the era, because of the absorption of foreign excellent musical instruments, foreign excellent culture innovation and development, of course, there are many other favorable factors, if you want you can even find out 10,000 favorable reasons, but the most important thing is: do not forget its roots and soul, do not lose its heart!

A song "Guan Shanyue", whether you play it with the guqin or change it to a pipa, look back after a thousand years, the bright moon is still taking care of Guan Mountain!

Talking about the past and the present, the pipa has been a guqin back then, and the most popular thing now is the piano, so the "Guan Shanyue" played on the piano is not "Guan Shanyue"?

It can't be not, because in the final analysis, the essence of art is the same, they all express a certain common consciousness of human beings, the connotation is the same, and the difference is only those external things in form and technique.

Furthermore, music belongs to art, art belongs to culture, but it does not refer to culture, music and art are only a carrier of national culture, and what it carries is the development of national spirit and humanistic thought.

From Juntian Guangle to Jiangnan silk and bamboo, from the guqin to the pipa to the melodious bamboo flute, which stretches for thousands of years, is the musical presentation of national culture, and no matter what kind of musical instrument or art form is used to interpret it, it outlines a long-standing charm and elegance, highlighting the inclusive and inclusive cultural backbone.

We can change the carrier, but we can't lose the spiritual core, and we can't lose the soul and bones, this is the enlightenment that history has brought us.

This Taoist ideal must be understood by everyone, but the uncomfortable part is that in this world with broken strings, there are too many things lost.

Taking Nanyin alone, in Su Bai's last time and space, Nanyin, as an independent mainstream rap genre in the Cantonese dialect area, probably came to an abrupt end in the thirties and forties of the last century.

But Su Bai never felt that the inheritance of Nanyin rap was completely severed, because in the subsequent Cantonese opera industry, the "star cavity" of the little star has an obvious charm of the blind master Zhong De, and the charm of the famous Cantonese opera singer Bai Jurong largely stems from his inheritance of the Nanyin of the Nanyin, and the essence of Chen Jian's "Pingcao Nanyin" is also reincarnated in the Cantonese opera sung by his daughter.

The end of the era of the blind teacher, the advent of the era of female singers, this is a very natural historical alternation of rise and fall, even if it is pushed back, in the earliest Cantonese pop music scene, which singer is not more or less Cantonese singing?

To a certain extent, this is inheritance and innovative development.

It's good here, it's a bit of a "snap" and the meaning of directly breaking the gear, it's really like breaking the string, which makes Su Bai think about it every time, and he is also confused and confused.

Always inherit first, in order to talk about development, to talk about innovation, the roots are gone, everything is impossible to talk about, unless you are willing to cut yourself with a knife, up and down 5000 centimeters, you cut?

At this moment, Xu Lao's sorrow and entanglement are nothing more than that he has finally found a little bit of what he lost, but due to the long-term interruption and indifference, it has made it difficult to "return to the soul" and melt back into the blood of today's people.

He suddenly found that there seemed to be no difference between "gaining" and "losing", which was the real crux of his confusion and gain.

And Su Bai talked about this example, of course, not to explain the great truth of the inheritance and development of traditional art, because in this regard, Xu Lao may see it more clearly than himself.

Talking about this is more just to persuade him to look away and not to get into the dead end of forcibly "revitalizing" Nanyin, which is not feasible.

In fact, Su Bai's point of view has been clearly given: the rise and fall of any kind of art has its own potential, and it cannot be reversed by one person at a time, one place, and one person.

No matter how beautiful the guqin is, no matter how much Liu Changqing complains, it can't change the general trend of Yanle, and the elimination of the guqin by the pipa is a natural choice of history and is inevitable.

In the same way, Dishui Nanyin is the same, it is a very beautiful local folk art, yes, but it also has many flaws, not to mention anything else, just the slow rhythm of singing, it can already torture many people to death.

Today's pace of life is so fast, if you give me a seven-character sentence and sing eight beats, then who will you eliminate if you don't eliminate it?

Nanyin is like this, and Cantonese is even more so, "Peach blossom fan, write the first heart-breaking word, write to the depths of love, and the fan will be miserable", so beautiful that you don't want it, right?

But if you follow the rhythm of the original Cantonese chant, you will have to sing four beats of the word "peach", and you will sing more than 30 beats in one sentence......

can't adapt to this era, even if you renew the resurrection 10,000 times, the ones who should be eliminated will still be eliminated.

No matter how you lament, no fish eggs is no fish balls, no rough noodles are no rough noodles, this is a reality we must face, we can't deceive ourselves, right?

"The saint is not stagnant in things, but can move with the world, listen to the words of the king, like a spring breeze, and be taught."

Xu Lao bowed his hand and asked with a wry smile: "Then do you think that the current situation is like this, where should Nanyin go?" What should be the future of those excellent folk traditional arts? I understand the truth, but I'm getting more and more confused, knowing that it will die, but it's ......."

"Don't don't, don't dare to be, let's just chat and discuss, in my opinion, if you can't change the reality, change your mentality, and I think it's far from that point, you don't need to have any confusion at all, let alone any relatives."

Su Bai asked with a light smile: "What does Mr. think, how about comparing our era with the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

“...... I think that we are far from reaching the height of Datang, alas, it is true that our living standards are higher and better, but many people are still kneeling, we have lost too many things, the inferiority complex in our bones has not been extinguished, and our ancestors have been crushed in temperament. ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Lao said with a sigh.

"Yes, we have a lot more to benchmark the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but we are still short of something, but we are not far away, aren't we?"

"We are in an era of great change, we are rising, we are catching up, we are moving towards prosperity, and we are also trying to pick up some good things that we had to throw away for the time being, and pick them up little by little."

"It's easy to lose things, but it's hard to find things, and we may never be able to finish this thing in our lifetime, but we're doing it right now, right? And since we're always on the right path, why should you be confused? ”

"A hundred years of life, putting our era into the 5,000-year history of flower-planting civilization, is only a few minutes."

"In today's world, the inheritance of traditional folk art and culture that we are discussing, and even the revival of the entire flower-planting nation, it is a very grand historical narrative, and to promote the progress of the wheel of history, it requires a huge space and time scale."

"It makes you feel lost because of our human characteristics, that is, we tend to only dwell on the feelings of a certain moment, and ignore that the more complex the historical process, the more time and space it takes, and then it is easy to lose yourself in the rolling torrent of history, and the result is naturally the same mistake in a continuous cycle."

"That's why history is often the point that the only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that it has not learned any lessons from history."

"But I don't think it's okay if we don't learn any lessons, I think it's probably more like a canon, although it keeps going back and forth, but it's also spiraling."

"When we look beyond the ephemeral moment in front of us and look at the problem from a grander angle, from a larger scale of time and space, won't we suddenly become clear?"

"The good things that our predecessors lost for various reasons, as their descendants, we are picking them up little by little today, and now, although these things seem to be out of place, how about we just put them in the museum as a specimen?"

"We have done what we should do, this is our historical mission, and in the future, if our children and grandchildren need it, they can come to claim it at any time, if the future generations choose to discard it, then even if we complain, we should not say that it is better not to know each other, so that we can not be lovesick, but should say,"

"If you see me, or if you don't see me, I'll be there, not sad or happy."

"You read it, or you don't miss me, the love is there, it doesn't come or go."

"You love, or you don't love me, love is there, not increasing or decreasing."

"You follow, or don't follow me, my hand is in your hand, and I will not give up."

"See it or not, the bright moon still shines on the mountain!"
