[556] Shocking oriental art

"Those judges are also very embarrassed, after all, it is our own show, and you don't want to be criticized!"

"Blue and white porcelain, the moon represents my heart, and Xiao Ban These songs are too classic, if the judges really dare to vote with their conscience, they will definitely be scolded to death by poking their backbones. The housekeeper tried his best to know and reason, hoping to appease Zhao Hui's irritable emotions.

"Fuck you. ”

Zhao Hui slammed the high-grade inkstone on the table to the ground and roared,

"A classic of bullshit, if Lao Tzu asks him to lose, he will lose! What's wrong with the shady scene? Those stupid people let them say, Young Master Ben cares about them, count me as losing!"

The housekeeper was distressed for a while, that inkstone was a tribute in the Qing Daoguang period! But he knew Zhao Hui's temper very well, and knew that once he started a fire, he would do things without considering any consequences, such a person, if he didn't have a good father, it would be difficult for him to become a big deal, and he scolded secretly in his heart: Loser, when your Lao Tzu dies, this company will let you lose sooner or later.

However, he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and still said with a respectful face:

"Young master, listen to me, this is just the beginning, he just won the team PK, and he is still far from winning the championship. With your power, there is no need to worry about him, let alone fear him. The housekeeper said mysteriously to Zhao Hui.

"Heh, what is he, I'm going to be scared?" Zhao Hui said with a proud face, and then looked at the housekeeper threateningly, his words revealing a thick threat and warning,

"Don't talk to me about what you have or don't, if you can't think of any other way, I'll take you to light the sky lantern. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly nodded and drank Zhao Hui with a sneer, "Young master, don't worry, you can listen to my careful analysis, and you will understand." ”

"This time, Yang Sixuan's team was able to win, but because there were a few too classic music, but these music are unattainable, in order to win, he directly used his killer weapon, and when the final stage, what do you see him singing?"

"I don't believe it, he can always write such classic songs?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hui was thoughtful.

......

......

At this moment, on the other side of the ocean, the British Empire is undoubtedly the most powerful empire on the European continent.

The towering castle is the famous British Castle, a symbol of the glory, power and splendid civilization of the former empire.

As the titular monarch of the current British Empire and the leader of the Continental Union Empire, Empress Victoria, who is herself in her seventies, has never abused her power excessively, despite her supreme power.

She was a benevolent and respectable empress, so she also won the support of the royal families of the European continent and the admiration of hundreds of millions of people.

At this moment, in this British castle, an incomparable musical feast is being staged.

Every November is the music festival of the British Empire, on this day, music masters from all over the world gather at the British Castle, you can hear the romantic and amorous France, but also appreciate the mysterious and passionate Ideli, but also see the glorious culture created by the Germans and Germans.

What's more, this day will be the day for the selection of musical guests for the Queen's Birthday Banquet in January.

Each year, the best music of the year is selected and the author is invited to Victoria Palace, Castle Britain, on January 5 as part of the Queen's birthday party.

This is the supreme honor and the greatest affirmation for a musician.

This is a top-level exchange and gathering of world-class music masters.

At the same time, next January will also mark the 40th wedding anniversary of Queen Victoria and Prince Andrew, when there will be a huge concert with all the invited musicians from the world's top musicians.

At this moment, in the royal concert hall of the British Castle, it was already full, and even the always self-cultivated Queen Victoria also attended the scene, the queen today wore a dark blue suit dress, did not wear a crown, but wore a bright black top hat, and simply held a ceremonial flower on her chest, showing simplicity and generosity, dignified and elegant.

At the concert scene, she listened with a smile from beginning to end, and when she heard the wonderful places, she would grin slightly and applaud, just putting aside her noble and prominent status, she was more like a kind grandmother.

And at this moment,

The Royal Orchestra of Victoria was playing on stage, and it was Mr. William, the head of the Royal Orchestra, who was playing piano music quickly.

Some time ago, Mr. William went to China!

When I came back, I brought back a classic piano piece from China!

"Liang Zhu"!

That's right, it's Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai!

When the empress saw this name, she was stunned for a moment, this name full of oriental flavor made him incomprehensible!

However, fortunately, the program list has an introduction to the background of this music.

When art reaches a certain level, it is culture and heritage that is fighting.

Only by understanding the cultural stories behind music can we better understand the meaning expressed in music.

I saw that next to the song list was written in English:

"Liang Zhu, this is the story of Romeo and Juliet of the East. ”

followed by the simplified story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the English version,

"In the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yingtai, the daughter of Zhu Yuanwai, disguised herself as a man and entered Hangzhou to study.

On the way, I met Liang Shanbo, who was studying, and at first sight, he married Jin Lan in Caoqiao Pavilion.

The two went to Hangzhou to apprentice and studied together for three years, and their love was as deep as the sea.

Yingtai loves Shanbo deeply, but Shanbo doesn't know that she is a woman.

I wish my father and daughter, Yingtai had to return to his hometown, and confessed his identity and emotions to Shanbo before leaving.

Shanbo's family is poor, and when he went to Zhu's house to propose, Zhu's father had promised Yingtai to Ma Wencai, the son of Taishou.

The two parted sadly and made a vow: life is different, death must be the same cave!

Hou Shanbo was recruited by the imperial court as a county magistrate, but he became depressed and fell ill and died soon after.

When Yingtai was forced to get married, he went around to the tomb of Shanbo, took out the dagger in his arms, and planned to be martyred in front of Shanbo's tomb.

Ye Xuan sighed at the unswerving love story between the two, so he allowed the two to turn into butterflies and fly away.

This is the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, which is widely circulated among the ancient people of the East, and it is also the Oriental version of Romeo and Juliet. ”

When she saw this story, Queen Victoria was stunned, and memories spread in her mind like a tide.

And at this moment, the beautiful music suddenly sounded!

The slightest note, like flowing water, like silk bamboo, like heavenly sounds, like moonlight, filled the audience!

Every syllable, as if alive, beats in everyone's ears and shakes everyone's soul.

They can clearly feel the heaviness of this music, and they can feel the ancient stories buried under the music.

The conductor on the stage and the symphony orchestra are the most famous orchestras in Britain, and they vividly interpret this ancient oriental song.

When the music first sounded, with a faint lightness, like the childhood sweetheart's youth, innocent and simple, but it made people's hearts ripple slightly.

Listening to this, Queen Victoria couldn't help but think of her own childhood.

She and Prince Andrew, who met as a teenager, have experienced countless ups and downs together.

Later, when World War II broke out, they went through countless difficult years, but their hands were always clasped tightly, even in the most difficult times, even in the era of mobs, they never separated.

Their love is as wonderful, steadfast and unyielding as the music.

The music is still ongoing, and the second movement has been played at this moment, with a slightly faster Andante, 3/8 time, and a variation on a double theme, like a beautiful lyric poem, delicate and warm.

At this moment, the greatness and magnificence of love gradually begin to unfold, and the great river is choppy, which forms a sharp contrast with the long stream of water in the first movement.

The corners of the Queen's eyes gradually became a little foggy. Now, she thinks about a lot, and her mind is like a movie, recalling the ups and downs of her life.

When the music enters the third chapter, the music changes, the suffering and grief given by fate suppress life and it is difficult to breathe, but at the same time, the music reveals infinite hope.

This hope is like a spark that can ignite the prairie and reveal vitality, she seems to see a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, in the face of fate's ruthless perseverance, she also saw the composer's mockery of fate, ridicule, the heartiness of the battle, the laughter and scolding of the ancient and modern heroic.

She seemed to hear the author's cry, "Even though thousands of people are coming." ”

Just like her, in the face of love, in the face of suffering, in the face of the ups and downs of life, she is indomitable.

She seems to see the Second World War again, she was forced to leave Andrew, face the violence alone, lead the soldiers of LinkedIn Britain, oppose all atrocities, and uphold fairness and justice!

She seemed to see the British soldiers facing the clutches of the mobs, even though they knew that they were dead, ten deaths, and many auspicious ones, but for the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, for the justice in their hearts, for the thousands of families, for the girls they loved deeply, for the great family affection, for the great love, for all the dignity that is more precious than life.

Die brazenly, and never be afraid.

I'm not afraid of thousands of people blocking me, I'm afraid of giving up. Her eyes blurred as she remembered her words at the coronation, when she raised the British scepter in front of the icons of the queens of the British Empire, and held up the crown of light that symbolized the glory of the supreme power of the Continental Union Empire.

"Always uphold the glory of the Bill of Rights, let the song of liberty always sing freely on the land of British Britain, and always strive for the happiness of the people of Britain......"

There seems to be a fire burning in her heart, she is already too old, she has not had this feeling of blood boiling and burning for a long time, she seems to be many years younger, and a girl's heart in her body is slowly awakened.

Thinking of the most difficult years, she survived, and now, it is the best day, what is there to be afraid of?

Her country is free and strong!

Her child soared like an eagle for nine days!

Her beloved Prince Andrew is still by her side!

This music evokes so many memories of her!

reorganized her ups and downs in life.

Musicians have nationalities, but music knows no borders!

It's been a long time since I've heard music that is so powerful and emotionally resonant!

The empress gently rolled up her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes: "The wind is quite strong today, and the sand is fascinating." ”

Anne, a female assistant and bodyguard on the side, is always concerned about the Empress's every move, which is not only the Empress's personal safety, but also the future of Britain.

Their duty is to protect the safety of the empress with their lives, so even though this is a top-notch musical feast, with high-ranking dignitaries and dignitaries coming and going, and the security level around them is unprecedentedly strict, they still dare not let their guard down in the slightest, let alone listen to the music of the masters.

Anne wondered, how could such a top-notch theater be windy, and how could it be possible to charm the empress's eyes?

In fact, when the music played, Anne noticed a rare fluctuation in the Empress's expression, which had always been unfazed.

She was nervous for a while.

She saw a mist in the corners of the Queen's eyes, were they tears? It was unbelievable, she had been with the Queen of Windsor for about fourteen years.

In the past fourteen years, she has witnessed the changes in the history of this continent, when Princess Anna died, the empress who was determined in her heart never cried, it was the scandal of Prince Henry, and when the crisis of trust in the royal family reached its lowest point, the empress's face did not change.

In my impression, the empress, who has always been strong, iron-blooded, and expressionless, has never been so out of shape today.

Is it because of the music?

Is this symphony, which is said to come from the Far East, called the strongest in music by Earl William, really so good?

Anne was skeptical!!

By the time the Empress came to her senses, the music had been over for a while, and the conductor, the orchestra, was bowing to the audience, thanking them, and giving a speech.

The atmosphere at the scene was even more enthusiastic.

Countless people stood up and couldn't help but applaud and shout, completely forgetting the reserve that a nobleman should have.

The Empress took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the mist from the corners of her eyes, and summoned William over by surprise:

"Congratulations, dear Mr. William, tonight's performance was a great success! This music is so beautiful that I am afraid that the whole continent will be immersed in this beautiful music. ”

William bowed gentlemanly and smiled humbly: "Your Majesty, you have praised you, it is my honor to be able to play for you!

"Can you tell me where this music came from and where it was written?"

"Of course, it's no secret. William said with a smile: "The original author is a music master from China, Ye Xuan. This is a very young and creative master of music. ”

A look of surprise flashed across the empress's face: "China? porcelain, no! Huaguo! What an amazing oriental civilization!"
