Chapter 395: New Song, "Walking in the Mystery Garden"
And the name of this piece he played is "Walking in the Mystery Garden".
The song is based on Yeats's poem of the same name, Down By the Salley Garden.
Originally translated as "In the Willow Garden", it is a poem written by Yeats in his early years.
His early poems are beautiful in rhyme, delicate in emotion, ornate in rhetoric, and rich in symbolism.
It was clearly influenced by English Romantic and French Symbolist poetry.
Since then, this song has also been covered into many versions, such as the adaptation of Emi Fujita from the island country.
Each version has the charm of each version, but Qin Yuan loves the Irish whistle version.
The Irish whistle flute, also known as the "tin flute" or "penny flute".
It is a very common national musical instrument with Irish characteristics.
The timbre of the Irish whistle is unique and captivating.
The sound of the whistle is not as crisp, bright and has a strong resonance as the Dragon Country Bamboo Flute.
It also doesn't have the deep, rich, and restrained sound quality of flutes.
On the contrary, the sound of the Irish whistle has a unique tactfulness and clarity.
It sounds as melodious as the song of a lark.
This tonal characteristic allows the Irish whistle to express a weeping emotion when played, which is intoxicating.
Secondly, the Irish whistle is moderately loud and neither too harsh nor too faint.
This allows it to clearly convey the melody and emotion of the piece when played solo.
It is also suitable for playing with other instruments to create a rich musical atmosphere.
In addition, the timbre of the Irish whistle has a certain variability.
With different blowing techniques and breath controls, players can express a variety of timbre effects.
Such as soft, sweet, sad, cheerful, etc.
This timbre variation gives the player a wide range of performance space.
This allows them to flexibly adjust their playing style to the style and emotional needs of the piece.
Overall, the sound of the Irish whistle is a unique and fascinating musical language.
It is able to deeply touch the hearts of the listeners and lead them into a world full of poetry and romance.
Whether it's in chamber music or at an outdoor concert.
The Irish whistle has won the love and praise of the audience for its unique timbre and expressiveness.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Yuan has a soft spot for whistles.
In his previous life, he had to learn the whistle.
But at that time, his energy was limited, so he didn't learn very well.
But now, because of the blessing of the system, learning the whistle is just a piece of cake for him.
So, not long ago, he bought a whistle on the Internet, and now it comes in handy.
The melody of "Walking in the Mystery Garden" itself carries a touch of sadness.
And under the playing of the Irish whistle, this sadness is brought into full play.
So much so that Qin Yuan himself couldn't help but sigh when he heard this melody.
This piece seems to have some kind of magic, and it can't help but remind people of grasslands and lakes.
And Qin Yuan's environment at the moment can be said to be a perfect match for this song.
This made him can't help but slowly substitute himself in the melody.
Suddenly, his mind couldn't help but think of Yeats's poem.
"In the depths of Sally's Garden, I love and I once met.
She walked through Sally's garden to snow-white little feet.
She told me to love easily, like a new leaf sprouting in the branches.
But I was young and ignorant, and I didn't disagree.
In the fields by the river, I once stopped.
She leaned on my shoulders to snow-white little hands.
She told me to live an easy life while the grass grew on the embankment.
But I was young and ignorant, and now I have tears in my eyes."
After a long time, Qin Yuan slowly stopped playing.
And the melodious flute has already spread throughout the riverside.
At the moment, a couple of new visitors came.
They all cast their eyes on each other, and their eyes were full of enjoyment.
"What kind of tune is this playing?"
"What's the name of this piece? I haven't heard of it before. ”
"Handsome guy. You.. You are Qin Yuan! ”
"Ahh It's Qin Yuan! It's Qin Yuan! ”
"Everyone Qin! I didn't expect to see you here today, I didn't dream of it! ”
"I'm a fan of yours, so we're so lucky to be able to meet you here!"
"Can we take a picture with you?"
What Qin Yuan didn't expect was that these new tourists actually knew him.
After seeing his appearance, he immediately let out a scream.
Then they all couldn't help but come around.
But fortunately, there are not many people, only 5 people in total.
And they were all young people, and they looked like college students.
In this way, Qin Yuan was not worried.
After all, it's only five people, and even if you come around, it won't be congested.
So he immediately greeted with a smile.
"Hello, of course there's no problem with taking a group photo, are you all together?"
"That's right, we are all students at Inner Mongolia University, classmates."
"I see, Inner Mongolia University is a 211 double first-class university, and they are all high-achieving students!"
"Idol, don't say that, we're just ordinary college students!"
"Yes, idols, we're not top students!"
"Besides, even if you are a high-achieving student, you are just a little shrimp in front of your idol!"
"Hahaha, you don't have an idol on the left and an idol on the right, I'm embarrassed, I'm not much older than you, you can just call me by my name!"
"It's not okay to call your name, otherwise we'll call you Brother Qin!"
"Well, I think I can have that title." Qin Yuan smiled and nodded.
"Brother Qin, are you shooting a video?"
"Well, yes, I was touched by this beautiful scenery just now, so I blew a new tune on a whim!"
"It's a new song! I'll just say I haven't heard of it before. ”
"Brother Qin, what's the name of your new song? It's so good, and what kind of flute are you? ”
"This is the Irish whistle, I just bought it not long ago, and the name of the new song is "Wonderland""
Qin Yuan originally wanted to say that it was "Walking in the Mystery Garden".
But when I think about it, the name doesn't match the scene at hand.
So he temporarily changed his name, and it was simply called "Walking in Wonderland".
After all, the unfrozen river in front of him is hot, and it looks like a heavenly palace fairyland.
And those cows that eat water and grass in the river are like divine beasts in captivity in the Heavenly Palace.
So changing the name of this piece to "Walking in Wonderland" seems to be no problem.
"A Walk in Wonderland? What a fairy name! ”
"Not to mention, the scenery here is really like a fairyland, it's really beautiful."
"That's right, the river is foggy, and it looks like a fairyland."
Hearing the name Qin Yuan said, several young people felt that this name matched the current scene very well, and they couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.
As for the praise of fans, Qin Yuan has long been accustomed to it.
After taking a photo with them, he made an excuse and left quickly.
Although there are only a few people in front of him, if he is followed all the time, he will still feel very cramped and unnatural!
This will definitely have a big impact on his next shoots, so staying away from the crowd is a must.
After leaving the Unfrozen River, Qin Yuan continued to get on the bus and went to the next scenic spot - Hump Ridge Tianchi.
is the same as going to the unfrozen river, Qin Yuan is still filming and commenting at the same time.
"Hello everyone, now the place I came to is the core attraction of Arshan National Forest Park, that is, the Camel Ridge Tianchi, in fact, Arshan has two Tianchi.
One is called Arshan Tianchi, which is relatively close to the visitor center, so general tourists will go to Arshan Tianchi, and then the other is Hump Ridge Tianchi, which is 40 kilometers away from the visitor center, and the foot of the mountain is about 400 meters away from the top of the mountain.
Because of the distance, the general tourists go less, but the scenery is very beautiful, far above the Arshan Tianchi, I did not go to the Arshan Tianchi, directly to the Hump Ridge Tianchi, so I can't compare the two Tianchi.
When I arrived, there was the Hump Ridge Pond in front of me, but this Hump Ridge Pond was different from the non-freezing river in front of me, and the non-freezing river would not freeze even in the weather of minus 40 degrees.
Although the current temperature is only minus 18 degrees, the entire Hump Ridge Tianchi has been frozen, and now you can't see the lake, only the white ice.
However, although I can't see the rippling blue lake, this frozen Tianchi also has its own beauty, and I will fly a drone to shoot it from the sky, and the picture will definitely be even better.
Now I would like to introduce to you this Hump Ridge Tianchi, which is 700 meters away from the boundary of the Xing'an League and adjacent to Arshan City.
With an altitude of 1,228 meters above sea level, it was formed about 300,000 years ago, the surface of the lake resembles a human foot, about 450m wide from east to west, about 800m long from north to south, with an area of 26 hectares, and the surrounding peaks resemble humps.
The southwest low-lying place of Tianchi is its water outlet, but there is no water inlet, the lake water in it is mainly based on atmospheric precipitation and spring water supply, and then near the Hump Ridge Tianchi I heard that there is a colorful pumice stone.
As the name suggests, a pumice stone is a rock that can float in the water.
Speaking of the pumice stones of Hump Ridge, there is also a touching legend.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a family living at the foot of Tianchi, and the old Eji and his daughter Sangril depended on each other.
In order to find his daughter's sweetheart, Lao Eji brought a camel, tied his beloved bronze mirror between the hump, and told the camel that the first person who could shine on the bronze mirror was his daughter's sweetheart.
The camel embarked on a journey and eventually turned into a mountain, and the bronze mirror rolled down the mountain, turning into a pool of water.
A few years later, the number of people by the pond gradually increased, and Baoli Court became the most prosperous hunter in this place.
However, one day, the bandit Van Bala appeared and wounded Baoli Pavilion, throwing him into the pool.
The Treasure Court miraculously survived, and the bandits departed.
The water of the pond flows down the mountain for a long time.
Eventually, when Baoli Pavilion woke up, he found himself back at the pool, where Old Eji was also waiting.
It turned out that Baoli Pavilion had been floating in the pool for fifty years.
This unfinished marriage was finally consummated.
Later, people took a honeycomb-shaped volcanic stone by the lake of Hump Ridge Tianchi as a pumice.
It is said that it is a pumice stone that can predict whether the love of young men and women is sincere and whether they can grow old.
If the lovers throw this volcanic stone into the lake and float, it proves that the lovers are sincerely in love with each other and can grow old in vain.
If it doesn't float, it means that the love between the two is not strong enough.
But to be honest, this is just a matter of probability, and it has nothing to do with whether love is loyal or not.
This is because pumice is a volcanic stone with closed pores running through its entire body.
If the stomata exceeds 70 percent of the stone itself, it will not sink if thrown into the water.
So the so-called test of love is just a matter of luck.
If you find a volcanic rock with more than 70% of the stomata itself, it can only be a sign that you are in luck.
If you don't find it, you're out of luck.
So if someone really takes a pumice stone to test the love between you.
Then don't hesitate to break up.
Because that means there's something wrong with your subject's brain.
If you don't break up, will you still keep it for the New Year? ”
Standing on the edge of the Heavenly Pond of Hump Ridge, Qin Yuan used an action camera to shoot while explaining very seriously.
Because of his super memory, Qin Yuan was able to easily memorize the relevant information about the Hump Ridge Tianchi on the Internet, and he was also able to tell it vividly.
He has such an ability, even a professional tour guide can't do it so easily.
Although the surface of the lake is frozen, the scenery is still quite beautiful.
If it is said that the Hump Ridge Tianchi in summer is a sapphire set between the mountains and forests.
Then the frozen Hump Ridge Tianchi is the white jade worn in the hands of Miss Shanlin.
White jade and sapphire are both rare items, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Some are just different kinds of beauty and people who appreciate different kinds of beauty.
Some people like the brilliance of sapphires, and naturally some people like the restrained and subtle white jade.
And it just so happened that what Qin Yuan liked was the restrained and subtle nature of white jade.
"The area of this Tianchi is quite large, just standing on the edge of the Tianchi can't take in the whole Tianchi, I'd better fly a drone! This Tianchi aerial photography will be very beautiful. ”
Qin Yuan said as he took out the drone from his backpack, and after casually controlling it, he flew the drone directly.
Suddenly, the camera became farther and farther away, and soon the whole picture of the Hump Ridge Tianchi was filmed.
And as he just described, from the perspective of the drone, the Hump Ridge Tianchi in front of him really looks like a piece of white jade.
"It's beautiful! It would be nice to be able to go up to the ice to fish. ”
Looking at the white ice, Qin Yuan couldn't help but have a picture of fishing in his mind.
Because he's grown so big, he's never fished on the ice.
In this way, he was naturally very curious about this activity.
