Lieyukou recorded in Liezi Tang Wen: "Boya is good at drumming, while Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boya played the drums and the piano, aiming to climb the mountain. Zhong Ziqi said,' Well, I am as tall as Mount Tai.' Determined to manage water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Good, like a river." "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals is a record: Guqin, listen to it, Fang Guqin looks at Mount Tai and says,' Good for Guqin! As majestic as Mount Tai. When I was young, I aimed at running water. Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good to play the piano, just like running water".
2. The story of high mountains and flowing water: formerly known as Yu, the word Rui, people. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he was a native of Du Ying in the State of Chu (now Jingzhou, Hubei) and later worked as a doctor in the State of Jin. When he returned to his hometown, he met Zhong Ziqi and became brothers, and agreed to meet him in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. Unexpectedly, Boya died the next year when she went to an appointment. After sweeping the grave, Boya broke the piano and thanked his son for his bosom friend. According to Cao Qin and Yuefu, the famous pianist Cheng Lian was a teacher of Boya. Boya studied piano with Cheng Lian for three years, but he didn't make much progress. One day, Cheng Lian said to Boya, "I can teach you to play the piano, but I can't teach you empathy. I have a teacher named Wan Zichun who lives in Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea. He is good at playing the piano and empathy. Let's visit him together. " Boya was certainly happy, so they went to the East China Sea together. But when Boya arrived in the East China Sea, he didn't see Wan Zichun, only saw the surging waves, the deep mountains and the singing birds. Boya's heart suddenly lit up and said with emotion, "Mr. touched my feelings!" So he created "Shuixian Cao".
The allusions about high mountains and flowing water are as follows:
According to Lu Chunqiu. "This is an article", playing the piano, listening to songs, playing the piano and looking at Mount Tai. Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good to play guqin! Just like Mount Tai. "When I was young, I aimed at running water. Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good to play the piano, just like running water. "After Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya broke the piano and never played it again, because he thought there was no drummer in the world.
According to Liezi, Boya is good at drumming and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boyaguqin, aiming at the mountains, Zhong Ziqi said,' OK, I'm as tall as Mount Tai!' Determined to manage water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Good, like a river!" Zhong Ziqi will understand what Boya said. Boya swam in the shadow of Mount Tai. When he died in the rainstorm, he stopped at the bottom of the rock and felt sad, so he played the drums with the help of the piano. At the beginning, it was an exercise of "Lin Yu", and even the sound of "mountain collapse" was heard. Every time a song is played, Zhong Ziqi needs to be poor for its benefit. Boya gave up the piano and sighed, "OK, OK, my son listens to her husband! Imagination is still my heart. Where can I escape? "
The song "Mountains and Rivers" also comes from this allusion. Boya was the best guqin player in ancient China, while Zhong Ziqi was the earliest music connoisseur. The piano music "Mountain Flowing Water" we are listening to now is the version of the late Qing Dynasty. It was written by later generations according to the stories of Zhong Ziqi and Boya, and there are many kinds of music books. There are two kinds of Qin music and Zheng music, both of which have the same name and different styles.
Guqin music During the Warring States Period, there was a story of Qin Le about high mountains and flowing water, so it was also said that "high mountains and flowing water" was written by Boya. The music score was first seen in The Secret Music of the Ming Dynasty (written by Zhu Quan at 1425). The solution of this score is: "Mountain Flowing Water is two songs, but there is only one. The first ambition is to care about mountains and rivers, saying that benevolent people are Leshan. The ambition of the future is to care about running water, which means that the wise are happy with water. The Tang dynasty is divided into two songs, regardless of section. The highest mountain is divided into four sections and eight sections of flowing water. " For more than 2,000 years, two famous guqin songs, Mountain and Running Water, together with the story of Boya guqin meeting a bosom friend, have been widely circulated among the people.
With the development of Qin's performing arts since Ming and Qing Dynasties, "mountain" and "water" have undergone great changes. The legendary secret score is not segmented, but later the piano score is segmented. Among the numerous music scores since Ming and Qing Dynasties, Running Water, which was adapted by Zhang Kongshan, a pianist of Sichuan School, was included in Tian Wen Song Score (1876) compiled by Tang Dynasty in Qing Dynasty. The sixth paragraph of the technique of "rolling, brushing, dialing and noting", also known as "seventy-two rolling and brushing water", is widely used because of its vivid image and blending of scenes. According to the research of Qin family, before Tian Wenqin's Song Score was published, there was no sixth paragraph played by Zhang Kongshan in all Qin Scores, and the whole song had only eight paragraphs, which was consistent with the solution of the Magic Secret Manual. However, the biography of Zhang Kongshan was increased to nine paragraphs, and then the Qin family followed suit.
There is also a guzheng song "Mountain Stream and Running Water", the music is quite different from piano music, and it is also based on "Boya Guqin meets a bosom friend". There are many genres of music books. The most widely circulated and influential is the Biography of Zhejiang Wulin School, with elegant melody and meaningful charm, which has the appearance of "majestic mountains and flowing water".
Shandong School's "Mountain Flowing Water" is an ensemble of four ditties, namely, Qin Yun, the wind shaking the bamboo, the bell ringing at night and the rhyme of the book, also known as four paragraphs and four paragraphs of brocade.
The Mountain Flowing Water of Henan School is based on the folk song Old Liu Ban, with a fresh and lively rhythm. Folk artists often play this song when they meet for the first time to show respect and make friends. These three songs have nothing in common with the guqin song "Mountain Flowing Water". They are all different songs with the same name and completely different styles. Share it with your friends: me.
3. Who can
Boya was depressed, so she played the piano for a while. At first, Qin Le showed the scene of rain falling on a mountain stream, and then simulated the sound of mountain stream soaring and rock and soil caving.
After each piece of music is completed, Zhong Ziqi "needs to be poor in interest", which makes the image in the music extremely transparent. Boya left the piano at this moment and sighed, "Good, good, you can hear the interest in this song. What you think is what I think. Where can I hide the sound? " So they became life confidants.
Lieyukou recorded in Liezi Tang Wen: "Boya is good at drumming, while Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boya plays the piano in order to climb mountains. Zhong Ziqi said,' Well, I am as tall as Mount Tai.
Determined to manage water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Good, like a river." "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals is a record: Guqin, listen to it, Fang Guqin looks at Mount Tai and says,' Good for Guqin! As majestic as Mount Tai.
When I was young, I aimed at running water. Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good to play the piano, just like running water".
4. The allusion of "mountains and rivers flowing" in ancient Chinese comes from Liezi written by Zheng Lieyukou during the Warring States Period.
The original text is as follows:
Boya is good at playing drums, but Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boyaguqin, aim at the mountains. Zhong Ziqi said, "OK? If you are Mount Tai! " Determined to run water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Good, like a river!" Zhong Ziqi will understand what Boya said. Boya swims in the shadow of Mount Tai. When he encounters a rainstorm, he stops under a rock. The sadness of the soul is to beat the drum with the help of the piano. At the beginning, it was Lin Yu's operation that made the voice of mountain collapse louder. Every time a song is played, Zhong Ziqi needs to be poor for its benefit. Boya gave up the piano and sighed, "OK, OK, my son listens to her husband! Imagination is still my heart. Why should I escape? "
The translation is as follows:
Boya is good at playing the piano, while Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boya plays the piano, thinking about the mountains. Zhong Ziqi said, "Good! As high as Mount Tai! " Thinking about running water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Good! The mighty water looks like a river! " Zhong Ziqi must know what Boya missed. Boya was visiting the northern part of Mount Tai when suddenly he was caught in a rainstorm under the rock. I felt sad, so I picked up the piano and played. At first, it was the sound of continuous rain, and then it was the sound of landslides. Every time he plays a piece of music, Zhong Ziqi always finds the source of his interest. Boya put down the piano and sighed, "You listen to the song well, well!" The imagination in my head is like my heart. Where can I let my piano sound escape your ears? "
5. Ancient poems about mountains and flowing water include ancient Chinese rhymes and ten famous songs. The top ten ancient famous songs are Mountain Flowing Water, Guangling San, Wild Goose in Pingsha, Three Lane of Plum Blossoms, House of Flying Daggers, Flute and Drum in Sunset, Questions and Answers of Fisherman, Eighteen Beats of Noisy, Autumn Moon in Han Palace and Chun Xue.
As early as the 4th century BC, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lieyukou of Zheng recorded in Liezi Tang Wen that he was good at drumming and listening. Boya played the drums and the piano, aiming to climb the mountain. Zhong Ziqi said,' Well, I am as tall as Mount Tai.' Determined to run water, Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good, it's like a river. ' ……"
No matter "aim at high mountains" or "aim at flowing water", whenever Boya expresses a theme or image in his music, Zhong Ziqi can understand its meaning. One day, Boya and Zhong Ziqi were swimming in the shade of Mount Tai. During the rainstorm, they stopped under the rock. Boya was depressed, so she played the piano for a while. At first, Qin Le showed the scene of rain falling on a mountain stream, and then simulated the sound of mountain stream soaring and rock and soil caving. After each piece of music is completed, Zhong Ziqi "needs to be poor in interest", which makes the image in the music extremely transparent. Boya left the piano at this moment and sighed, "Good, good, you can hear the interest in this song. What you think is what I think. Where can I hide the sound? " So they became life confidants. However, Liezi did not mention that Boya stopped playing the piano because of Zhong Ziqi's death.
In the third century BC, Lu's "Spring and Autumn Annals" has a similar record in this chapter: "Guqin, listen to it, Fang Guqin wants to climb Mount Tai. Zhong Ziqi said,' Good for Guqin! As majestic as Mount Tai. When I was young, I aimed at running water. Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good to play the piano, just like running water". After Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya broke the piano and never played it again, thinking that the world was not enough to be a drummer. Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals is almost the same as Liezi, but it explains the ending: after death, "I will never play the piano again".
Although Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals is not a loyal history, Liezi is recorded in the past, and its content is not groundless. Therefore, the saying that Boya no longer plays drums has been handed down and become a much-told story. Boya should be famous at that time. Xun Kuang also mentioned him in the article "Encouraging Learning": "In the past, the use of bulging was drowned by fish; Boya played the drums and played the piano, while Liu Ma Yang Yu ". Although the language is almost exaggerated, there is no doubt that the great musician Boya's piano skills are superb.
Since Liezi and Lu Chunqiu, the ancient books of the Western Han Dynasty, such as Biography of Korean Poetry, Huainanzi, Shuoyuan, Tongzhi of Customs, Cao Qin, and Yuefu Jie of Eastern Han Dynasty, have been quoted one after another. In these works, the description of Boya is more abundant. For example, Cai Yong's Cao Qin in the Eastern Han Dynasty also recorded an anecdote about Boya learning the method of empathy from musicians. In Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong's "Words of Warning to the World" started with "Yu Boya practicing the piano to thank his companions". In this novel, Boya becomes Yu Boya, a music official, and Zhong Ziqi becomes a woodcutter in Hanyang. At this time, an ancient short story of several hundred words has become a novel with characters, places and plots.
The story of "Mountain Flowing Water" and Boya Zhong Ziqi has been widely circulated for more than two thousand years because of its profound China culture. China's ancient cultural spirit of "harmony between man and nature" and "selflessness" is fully reflected in this story. Zhu Quancheng's "Magic Secret Spectrum" in the Ming Dynasty made an accurate interpretation of this: "There are two mountains and running water, only one. The first ambition is to care about mountains and rivers, saying that benevolent people are Leshan. Later, I cared about running water and said that wise people are happy with water. " The benevolent Leshan, the wise enjoy water, and the mountains and rivers contain the vastness of heaven and earth and the charm of mountains and rivers, which is the highest realm of the real theme of ancient China music. However, Boya's piano music "Mountain Flowing Water" has not been circulated in the world, and future generations cannot appreciate the beauty of Boya's music. Therefore, although the story of "high mountains and flowing water" has been sung by later generations, it is completely "what the heart yearns for" and there is no personal experience of music.
Therefore, the most direct reason for the spread of this fable is the mutual understanding between Boya and Zhong Ziqi. When the bosom friend left, Boya resolutely broke his string and lost his voice. The phrase "few confidants, who will listen when the string is broken" in Yue Fei's Xiao Zhongshan is an accurate portrayal of Boya's mood at that time. Boya's unique piano and ambition, on the one hand, as a memorial to his dead friends, on the other hand, as his unique knowledge, can no longer be understood by anyone in the world, showing deep anguish and helplessness. I think Boya must also be an arrogant and outstanding person. His music rises and falls, so it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to understand the subtlety of his music. This is why Boya feels lonely and feels that it is hard to find a bosom friend.
The reason why Mountain Flowing Water can be recorded and reprinted by various ancient books in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is inseparable from the background of "scholar culture" at that time. In the pre-Qin era, a hundred schools of thought contended and talented people came forth in large numbers. Many scholars have a weak sense of country and are disloyal to their vassal countries. These talented people often move between countries, and they all want to know each other. They hope to meet princes and princes who know themselves like bosom friends to show what they have learned. This has been the dream of almost all scholars for thousands of years. However, only a few people can achieve this goal. More and more people have lost their talents all their lives. Some people are invisible in the market, while others are always in the mountains. It can be seen that the reason why Mountain Flowing Water was widely circulated in the pre-Qin period was because the moral behind the story was the beauty of life meeting and the regret of life failure. Therefore, it is reasonable to cause countless people to sing for thousands of years.
Therefore, friendship is secondary. Therefore, this article calls "mountains and rivers" friendship that has been infinitely exaggerated by goodwill for thousands of years. Music and friendship that can arouse people's infinite yearning may not be the original taste of the story.
6. Translation of Classical Chinese "Mountain Flowing Water" It is said that Boya, a pianist in the pre-Qin period, once played the piano in a deserted field, but Zhong Ziqi, a woodcutter, could understand that this was a description of "ambition in the mountains" and "ambition in running water". Boya was surprised and said, "Well, my son's heart is with me." After the death of the hippo chef, Boya lost her bosom friend, her piano broke and she didn't exercise for life, so there was a song of mountains and flowing water.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Yu Boya, who was proficient in temperament and superb in piano skills. He was a famous pianist at that time. When Yu Boya was young, he was smart and eager to learn. He has learned from others and his piano skills have reached the level. But he always feels that he can't express his feelings about all kinds of things in a superb way. Boya's teacher knew his idea and took him to Penglai Island in the East China Sea by boat, so that he could enjoy the natural scenery and listen to the waves of the sea. Boya looked up and saw the waves surging and splashing; Seabirds are roaring and singing; The lush trees in the forest are like entering a fairyland. A wonderful feeling arises spontaneously, as if the harmonious and beautiful music of nature rises in my ear. He couldn't help playing the piano, his voice turned at will, and the beauty of nature was integrated into the sound of the piano. Boya experienced an unprecedented realm. The teacher told him, "You have learned."
One night boating in Boya. Facing the cool breeze and bright moon, he was full of thoughts, so he played the piano again, and the sound of the piano was melodious and getting better. Suddenly I heard someone screaming on the shore. When Boya heard the sound, he got out of the boat and saw a woodcutter standing on the shore. Knowing that the man was a bosom friend, he immediately invited the woodcutter aboard and played for him with great interest. Boya played a tune praising the mountains, and the woodcutter said, "How wonderful! Majestic and solemn, such as Mount Tai towering into the clouds! " When he played the surging waves, the woodcutter said, "How wonderful! Vast and boundless, it seems to see rolling water and boundless sea! " Boya was excited and said excitedly, "bosom friend!" You are really my bosom friend. "This woodcutter is Zhong Ziqi. Since then, the two have become very good friends.
7. Classical Chinese: Translation of high mountains and flowing water: Boya is good at playing guqin, while Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boya aimed at the high mountain, and Zhong Ziqi said, "Good! If you are Mount Tai! " Boya was preoccupied with running water, and Zhong Ziqi said, "Good! Yang Yang is like a river! " Zhong Ziqi will understand what Boya said. After his death, Boya broke the piano and never played drums again.
Yu Boya, a talented musician, likes to play a song "Running Water in the Mountains", but no one can understand it. He plays the piano on the mountain, and the sound of the piano rises and falls. Finally, one day, a woodcutter who cut wood passed by and understood his mountains and rivers. This man is Zhong Ziqi. Yu Boya's confidant is Zhong Ziqi. They made an appointment to meet two years later, but Zhong Ziqi didn't show up two years later. Yu Boya inquired in many ways to know that Zhong Ziqi had died, so it was impossible to keep the appointment. Yu Boya was heartbroken. He knows that little chef hippo is the only one who can understand his music. Now that the little chef hippo is dead, no one will understand his music any more, so he broke his beloved piano at the grave of the little chef hippo, which also shows his respect and cherish for his bosom friend. This is a story about Boya breaking the piano and thanking her bosom friend. Boya sadly misses her childhood, and people take this opportunity to sigh that bosom friends are hard to find.
