The next game is the invisible literary fight between Shen Xie and Shui, this one, the winner of the last game will decide the content of the competition. And Shen Xie's topic is Douqin.

The sunset flower building compares words, Shen Xie lost to the water invisible. Today, it seems that for the sake of safety, Shen Xie chose to test his piano skills. I can't help but wonder, can water play the piano invisibly?

Most of the ancient Chinese pianists were literati, and the most important form of expression of the "music" of the six arts of the gentleman was the qin art. However, in ancient times, the literati specialized in the subset of classics and history, and in the way of qin art, the literati mainly sought the Tao and cultivated their self-cultivation through the qin, but did not pursue much of the melody structure, chapter, and beat of the music. Tao Yuanming stroked the "stringless piano" and said, "But knowing the piano is interesting, and He Lao is on the strings." "It gave great spiritual comfort to the literati of later generations, and is the ultimate example of the way of the qin.

Of course, this is not to say that scholars stroke the qin, they don't know the rhythm of music, and they play indiscriminately. They may not have attainments in fingering, but their pursuit of the artistic conception of the sound is no less than that of professional pianists. And Shen Xie and Shui Wutang, who are obsessed with poetry, are both emotionally sensitive people, and the "piano fighting" competition between the two people must be a wonderful performance.

On the ring, between the left and right twenty paces, two stringed harps have been placed at this moment. The two walked up to the stage one on the left and the other on the right, and then bowed hands to each other and sat down on the side of the piano platform.

Piano fighting, different from the piano art display, is actually an extreme piano art competition. The two sides of the competition choose their own songs, and then play the piano one after another, comparing not only the attainments of the piano, but also the grasp of their own emotions and the control of their mood. If one side is disturbed by the sound of the other party first, it is defeated.

Shen Xie condensed his mind, closed his eyes for a moment, then stroked the surface of the piano with his hand, plucked the strings, and then the sound of the piano paused.

The song he played was called "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji".

"Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji" is rumored to be made by Cai Wenji. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a great chaos, and the beacon fire continued for many years, Cai Wenji was taken captive by the Xiongnu in the escape, and was exiled outside the Saiwai, and later married the Xiongnu Zuoxian King and gave birth to two daughters. Cai Wenji, who has spent twelve spring and autumn seasons outside the Saiwai, misses her hometown all the time. Later, Cao Cao pacified the Central Plains, reconciled with the Xiongnu, and sent a large amount of money to redeem Wen Ji, so she wrote the famous long poem "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats", describing the unfortunate experience of her life.

Now Shen Xie's "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" is the lyrics of the ancient music Fu qin song, one chapter is one beat, a total of eighteen chapters, so it has this name, reflecting the theme of "Wen Ji returns to Han." It describes the extremely contradictory and painful feelings of Cai Wenji who misses her hometown and can't bear to be separated. The music is euphemistic and sad, tearing the liver and intestines.

The whole section of this piece is inseparable from the word "poignant", Shen Xie Qin's sound started, and a poignant and mournful voice began to spread throughout the martial arts arena, the high is gloomy and sad, and the low is deep and sad.

I don't know what kind of mentality Shen Xie is now, choosing to play such a bleak tune. But I saw him on the stage, who seemed to be completely silent in his own piano sound, his eyes were focused, and his expression was solemn, as if he was chasing the figure of Cai Wenji, narrating the misery of her life, and everyone present seemed to be gradually infected by this sad emotion.

Shen Xie may not be good at fingering skills, but wherever the sound of the piano touches, it is like crying. His state of mind actually matched a high degree with Qinqu, and he didn't know where such a talented woman came from. I have a strange feeling, like standing on the stage is not a high-spirited Qingzhou talent, but a lovelorn young man who has lost his soul.

At the same time when everyone forgot and felt that Wen Ji had a misfortune in her life, the water moved invisibly, and unlike Shen Xie's low piano sound, he plucked his two fingers, and the bright and bright piano sound paused.

This song is "Drunken Fishing Singing Night".

"Drunken Fisherman Singing Evening" is a piano piece composed by the Tang Dynasty poets Pi Rixiu and Tortoise Meng, the whole song depicts the fisherman's uninhibited drunkenness, the material is refined, and the structure is rigorous. The solution to the problem contained in the Ming edition of "Xilutang Qintong": "Lu Luwang and Pi Ximei boated on the Songjiang River, and wrote this song when they saw the drunken song of the fisherman. In front of Xisai Mountain, the peach blossoms flow, and its prosperity is probably comparable. It can be seen that this song really has the meaning of smiling and arrogant, drunk and beautiful, not running in the dust, careless and buoyant can appreciate its fun.

"Weng Li is big, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. "That's what you feel when you listen to this song.

This is the collision of two completely different states of mind! One is tactful and complaining, as if sad and sad, and the other is comfortable and self-satisfied, as if free and uninhibited.

But this troubled the audience on the side, should I be sad, or happy, sad, or laughing?

Then the sound of the two pianos gradually improved, only to see Shen Xie's eyes closed, his brows were deeply locked, and the ten fingers swept faster and faster, and the water was invisible and far-reaching, swaying freely, one finger and one string, plucking and fun.

Shen Xie is skillful in fingering, and the strings and harmonies are far away, but he has not lost to the fisherman's uninhibited and crazy attitude. Shen Weiyan on the stage stroked his beard with a smile, and couldn't help but praise his baby son.

"When will you be able to tell the winner?" Xi Kunlun, who didn't understand the rhythm of music, had a calm face, listened to Shen Weiyan's words, and then asked. If these two finish playing a song, but they can't tell the winner, how can they grab the territory?

"Victory or defeat," Shen Weiyan shook his head, "At this moment, the two of them are playing the piano steadily, and they seem to be determined to be firm, and they are not disturbed by the foreign sound at all, and it is difficult to judge the level for a while." ”

I heard Shen Weiyan's words, my mouth curled, "Drunken Fishing Singing Night" is not as long as "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" in length, it is a short but superb song, "Drunken Fishing Singing Night" at the moment the melody rhythm is replaced by a continuous triplet, accompanied by a strong fixed bass below, it has reached a zuihou stage, and the climax is repeated.

And "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" is still on the eleventh beat at the moment, just at the turn of the whole song, the tone gradually turns into a cheerful and bright paragraph, expressing the joy of the nation and the joy of returning to the country. It is exactly what the poem says: the broken bottle falls into the well and sinks forever, and the hometown is cut off and there is no return.

Ning Zhiyuan asked for his name, and the Chinese language was good. The dream soul went to the hometown several times, and after awakening, it turned into a deep grievance. Now it's a dream, and it's sad and sad.

It seems that the water is invisible, and Zuihou is the only one left to complain alone.

With a rapid overtone, the water leaves the piano with his invisible hands, stands up and smiles chicly, if it is like the feeling of "Drunken Fishing Singing Night", it shows a feeling of great emotion.

Shen Xie is still interpreting the feelings of missing Cai Wenji's children who are far away after her return, which is: "When I returned to the country, my heart was as long as hunger." At four o'clock, everything rises and falls, but I am sad and do not move temporarily. The mountains and highlands are wide and you see that you have no end, and you dream of Nilais late at night. In my dream, I held my hands and was happy and sad, and when I felt pain, my heart was endless. Four times out of ten, tears were shedding, and the river was flowing eastward, thinking to himself. ”

A group of unruly people in the audience were discussing how to judge the winner at this time, and they didn't know who played well and who didn't play well, but they only knew how to wave the flag and shout for themselves. Hey, which of the best came up with the bad idea of using literary and artistic competition to determine the ownership of the underworld?

The discussion of everyone in the audience gradually overshadowed the momentum of "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats", what a group of people who know that they respect the hard work of artists?

"Bang", one string was broken, and the sound was broken, Shen Xie stood up with a lonely expression, and said very sincerely towards the water: "Brother Shui, I lost in the next place." ”

I heard Shen Xie say very frankly, but the water was invisible but embarrassed, "If it weren't for the noisy sound of the audience, the wonderful sound of "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" would not have been cut off suddenly, but you and I are between the two and the middle, and we should be tied." ”

Shen Xie gratefully glanced at the water invisible, and then glanced at everyone in the audience with disdain, and said: "The sound of a rough and idle man, but it can't disturb a certain minute, and it stops at the bottom string, which is really Brother Shui's uninhibited demeanor just now, which washed away the depression in a certain heart." At this moment, it has suddenly become enlightened, and Brother Shitou has a song "Drunken Fishing Singing Night". ”

It turned out that Shen Xie really felt a little bit of a sense of kinship in his heart, could it be that he was dumped by Lan Zishu, the head of the Luohua Building?

"Brother Shen is polite, it is fortunate to be able to wash away the dullness in Brother Shen's heart. ”

Shui smiled invisibly, Shen Xie also smiled, and the two looked at each other from a distance, and there was a little bit of sympathy in their smiles.

Before this, the two of them were stupid children who were angry with each other in the Qinglou, but at this time, they had a bit of the pride of "meeting each other and laughing at each other", so I don't know if they will become brothers.

The two of them walked down one after another, walked towards the first seat, and when they were about to sit down, I heard Shen Xie bow his head and whisper two words to the water.

"Be careful. ”
