Chapter 41 Han Tongwen's Concept of Music and Rhythm
The pot exploded in an instant
"Brother, are you kidding? Can you replace Mr. Shi?" a student laughed
"Please don't delay our class"
"Go out, don't be embarrassed here!" Because they are all students, the words they say are not too intense, but they are enough to express their indignation.
Han Tongwen still had a smile on his face, and patted the table, "Today is indeed Mr. Shi who asked me to teach for him, I am also a student, how dare I cheat in this regard, so if you don't want to go to class, you can go out now, I won't tell Mr. Shi"
Some people below frowned, it is true that no one dares to make such a joke, unless he wants to be expelled, and now that the class is already in place, Mr. Shi, who has never been late, did not come, this already says something, is this really the case? There are also people who are not satisfied, and they think very highly of themselves, a person who is also a student gives himself a lesson, disdains it, and leaves with a cold snort with a wave of his sleeves, many people follow him away, and there are only about twenty people left in the classroom, and half of them are gone, and most of the people who remain are watching jokes, and they should adjust the boring college life.
"Thank you for staying and listening to my lecture, in fact, I didn't want Mr. Shi to let me come to class, but I can't bear Mr. Shi's black face, although his face is really dark!"
Han Tongwen's words made the people in the classroom laugh, and no one dared to make a joke about Shi Heiface.
"Today I'm going to explain some of the knowledge I know about music, if you have any questions, you can also ask, although I can't guarantee that I can answer them completely like Mr. Shi, but I will do my best."
"First of all, let's talk about the history of the development of music, what is music!"
"Convergence of Voices"
"Palace, Shang, Horn, Sign, Feather"
In short, the answers are varied
Han Tongwen said: "Rhythm is very simple, but it is actually rhythm. Walking, pulse, and the pitch of speech are all rhythms. ”
"Is farting a rhythm a sound?" said one student
"Of course, this brother can also play a song with a fart, but I don't think it sounds good, but it smells disgusting" Han Tongwen humorously resolved the student's difficulties
"The appearance of rhythm is very early, what was the earliest activity of human beings"
Naturally, those here don't know, they haven't studied nature, they haven't studied society, Han Tongwen has thousands of years of knowledge to do it, and even Shi Heimian, who was hiding under the corner of the window and eavesdropping, was also thinking, and there was a group of students who didn't listen to the classroom standing behind the buttocks, Lao Tzu finally came to Han Boy, you didn't even give face? If you don't give face, then don't go, stand!
"The earliest activities were actually very simple, work and have children!"
There was another burst of laughter below
"If you don't believe that you can get rid of everything in your life and leave what you need most, you may be able to find something."
After a moment of silence, Shi Hei nodded again and again, it was true.
"In labor and reproduction, along with the use of tools and the production of language, music is born. The peak period of music development was in Zhou and Qin, the Zhou Dynasty set up a big music, the Qin Dynasty also had a music house, collecting music songs from various countries, and we also had a teaching department in the Tang Dynasty, but it was more like a brothel in the Qinglou than a place to manage music. ”
The students below also have some high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and naturally know that the family members of the offenders are put in the Jiaofang Division, and they play song and dance music for other nobles to atone for their sins, but in fact, they are doing the work of the Qinglou, and they can't help but laugh when they hear Han Tongwen so sarcastically teach the Fang Division, because no one dares to say so in Datang, and slowly forget that Han Tongwen is a student.
"But even if you put aside the functions of those green buildings, the rest of the feasts are mostly some glamorous pleasures and nothing new."
"The sound of governing the world is peaceful, and the sound of the dead country is mourning. The husband is in turmoil, and the sound responds to it, so the feeling of sorrow is expressed in the golden stone, and the image of peace is also in the shape of the orchestra. Music is a mirror of the rise and fall of the world and the political chaos of the country, and Chinese music can contain many things, and it is not indispensable to call it all-encompassing. The characteristics of Chinese music depend on our aesthetic thoughts, that is, the recognition of beauty.
The aesthetic thought of our Han people has two characteristics, one is "emptiness and quietness". That is, people's psychology is in a state of emptiness and tranquility, and they are not disturbed by the outside world in order to understand the world. The silence is the mass movement, and the emptiness is the expression of such a meaning. The second is the beauty of neutralization,
That is, in the "Analects", "happiness is not lewd, sorrow is not sad". It can be said that the two points of "ethereal" and "modest" constitute the core of the aesthetics of the Han nation, so most of the music of the Han nation is these quiet music. The leisurely and soothing "Fisherman's Q&A", the strong and rough "Guangling San", and the mournful "Changmen Resentment" are like this, I don't like this kind of music very much. ”
"Do you know what my only grievances are with our Han music?"
"Since the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, all Zheng Sheng, the sound of glamour, and the spirit of grief have permeated the country, and there are resolute and heroic people. Its nature is that of a few people and not of many, and it is despicable and despicable without enterprising spirit. Until now, music has appeared for nearly 3,000 years, except for the car, there is no decent military music, isn't this a kind of sadness for the martial Tang Dynasty?"
"So I can teach you music, but not so that you can go to some Qinglou wine shops to play and show your talents, nor do I want you to make some music to deceive people, but to make some real majestic and shocking music. ”
Most of the famous songs and scores are made by pretentious talents in the Qinglou in order to please the bored Qinglou women, even after 2,000 years in the previous life, the history of Chinese traditional music is still not recognized by the people of the world, and the reason may lie in this.
"Good!"
There were bursts of applause below, this is a real recognition of Han Tongwen, truly fascinating, from history to the current situation to clarify his views to win the respect of many people, is this really just a student? Before I knew it, the class had ended, applause rang out at the window of the classroom, and Shi Hei walked into the classroom with a clapped face, and even he had a small gain.
"Boy, you speak very well, even better than the old man!" Although it is a bit flattering, how about a student who can tell a lesson that even he is attracted to and praise, and Shi Zhongyuan really admires a child who is sixty years younger than him, which is the only time in his life.
"Mr. has won the award, but I just told my classmates what I know!" Han Tongwen smiled modestly
"Good is good, the old man has decided"
Before Shi Zhongyuan finished speaking, Han Tongwen grabbed his head and said, "I won't skip class in the next class!"
Shi Zhongyuanle laughed, "You stinky boy", said the old man and left with great relief.
Han Tongwen is also preparing to leave
"Please wait," a soft voice sounded
"Well, may I ask what's the matter?" Han Tongwen saw a cute and shy woman, like a bud waiting to be released.
"My name is Shizuka, and I'd like to ask you about the music!" the woman blushed
"Okay, I'd love to, but another day, I have something extraordinary to do right now!" Han Tongwen said
Han Tongwen really didn't lie, and squatted in the thatched house for half an hour before coming out with a smoky smell. Shu Tan is quite comfortable, but his legs are numb, if you want to say that there is anything you are not satisfied with, it is still a toilet chip!
The whole body of possessions is not enough to eat a drink. I washed it several times in the mountain spring water to wash off the smell on my body, and went home comfortably and refreshingly, eating Qiao Song's unpalatable dishes.
