Chapter 313: Shameless Liu Ying
At the moment when the white cloth was lifted, everyone saw something like a wooden table. There is also a row of black and white strips lined up in front of it.
No one had ever seen such a musical instrument, and in addition to the wooden table-like instrument, there was also a musical instrument that looked like a lute.
It's just that the middle of this instrument is like a gourd, and there is a large hole in it. Six thin wires are tied to it.
Everyone was confused when they saw this strange instrument, only Jiang Chao's face was full of astonishment, and his eyes showed a sense of shock and disbelief.
Piano and guitar! He didn't expect that he would be able to see such a modern musical instrument in the ancient times of this parallel world.
He remembered that the two guitars were the oldest, but he dated back more than 1,400 BC.
The piano is relatively late, and it should have been developed around the seventeenth century.
The predecessor of the piano was the plucked clavichord, also known as the feather keys.
It is much the same as the internal principle of the piano, which is equipped with a soundboard and many taut strings inside the body.
The difference is that the piano's hammer strikes the strings, and the plucked clavichord uses a plucked plectrum to pluck the strings.
He didn't expect to be able to see these two instruments here, and they were already mature products. There is almost no difference from the modern version of the two instruments.
It seems that in the parallel world, the development of many places is very different. At least, in terms of musical instruments, it is already very advanced.
Seeing Jiang Chao's shocked expression, Liu Ying's face suddenly showed a sense of pride.
"Jiang Caizi, I haven't seen this instrument, speaking of which, I only got it not long ago, it was given to the emperor by an overseas businessman, and the emperor gave it to me."
"I learned a lot from the foreign businessman. I don't take advantage of you, since you haven't seen these two things, you can't play them if you want to, as long as you can tell where this thing is right and what its origin is, even if you win, what do you think! ”
By the end, his voice was full of mockery.
When the people around heard this, they immediately scolded Liu Ying for being shameless, if Jiang Chao was allowed to play, Jiang Chao might still have a chance to win.
After all, only if you know the art of music and rhythm well, and only if you are a little familiar with it, you can definitely play it.
Liu Ying seemed to be generous to let Jiang Chao, but in fact, he was digging a pit for Jiang Chao again, or digging a bottomless pit.
Instead, he will have a reputation for being generous. At that time, Jiang Chao will not be able to answer, and he will be said to be incompetent and useless. People let you, you can't win.
After all, it shouldn't be difficult to say the calendar, as long as you read more books, there will definitely be relevant knowledge in the book.
It's just that I can't find a musical instrument like this kind of out-of-the-way in the book. But how many people who are knowledgeable when they watch the excitement?!
However, those who have a heart can see Liu Ying's sinister intentions. This is not to give Jiang Chao any chance to turn over.
Looking at Jiang Chao, who was frowning, Liu Ying's face showed a sense of pride. Su Yanran, who was sitting at the end, couldn't help but be a little worried about Jiang Chao.
Her eyes when she looked at Liu Ying were full of shamelessness, it was the first time she had seen such a shameless person.
And behind Jiang Chao, Song Xiaoya, who was originally full of determination, and a group of Yelang clan warriors suddenly looked nervous, and their eyes were full of worry.
If it was a competition with other eastern weapons, they would have absolute confidence in Jiang Chao. But this guy in front of him is so shameless that he is cheating. I'm afraid Jiang Chao will lose this time.
Just when they were worried and the people around them were disdainful, Jiang Chao got up and walked over. His face was flat, and he couldn't see any change in mood.
When everyone saw him like this, they thought that Jiang Chao was preparing to admit defeat, and wanted to kowtow over and admit defeat. The smugness in Liu Ying's eyes was even stronger.
It's just that just when he was proud, Jiang Chao came to the piano and guitar. He stretched out his hand to touch these two things, turned his head to look at Liu Yingdao:
"These two things, one is a piano and the other is a guitar!" He pointed to the piano and guitar.
Speaking of this, he didn't wait for Liu Ying to say anything, and talked about it himself!
"The piano was first developed in Europe, and the inventor of the piano was Bartoloo. Cristofori, who was an instrument maker of the Medici family in Florence, Italy......"
Jiang Chao's mouth was full of truth, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The people around were stunned when they heard this. For a while, I didn't know if what Jiang Chao said was true or false.
"As for the guitar...... The first to appear in ancient Egypt more than 2,000 years ago in the Nafar, ancient Babylonian and ancient Persian plucked musical instruments ......"
Jiang Chao talked about the development history of the guitar again, these development histories are some knowledge he knew in his previous life, of course, there must be discrepancies with the development history of this life.
However, Jiang Chao knew that Liu Ying himself was afraid that he did not know the origin of these two musical instruments. At most, they can just play. As for the names of the two instruments, there should not be much difference.
The people around were stunned by Jiang Chao's eloquent expression, but everyone felt that what Jiang Chao said was true.
After all, the name they don't understand is not the name of those Fanbang people!
Da Zhao has actually had Fanbang people for a long time. In fact, in the dynasty before Da Zhao, Fanbang people came to China at its peak.
It is said that in Kyoto at that time, you could see the people of Banbang everywhere. All nations come to court......
The names recorded in some ancient texts are somewhat similar to the names Jiang Chao said. Even some place names are similar to what Jiang Chao said.
Others may not have heard Jiang Chao's words, but Su Yanran's eyes lit up when she heard it, and there was a burst of brilliance in her eyes.
She has read a lot of books, and she still remembers many of the place names that Jiang Chao said. Therefore, she knew that Jiang Chao was definitely not lying.
It's just that she couldn't imagine how Jiang Chao knew the origin of these two musical instruments. He spoke as if he had made the two instruments.
But she had some doubts in her heart, maybe Jiang Chao really didn't know, just to be able to win, and casually said something that people couldn't understand to fool people.
And everyone who reacted also showed suspicion in their eyes, especially Liu Ying, who hurriedly spoke up; "Who believes what you say. I've never heard of musical instruments coming from like this, you're wrong! ”
Liu Ying didn't want to admit defeat, of course it was impossible to admit that what Jiang Chao said was right. He denied it on the spot.
It's just that as soon as he said this, Jiang Chao said lightly: "Then it's better for you to tell me about the origin of this musical instrument!" If you can say it clearly, I can throw in the towel! ”
Jiang Chao's words blocked Liu Ying in an instant, where would he know where this thing came from, and the development history of these things was unknown.
