in the guqin kingdom, only seven strings fully express the essence of China culture, such as scholar's mind, caring for home and country, caring for mountains and rivers, carving a dragon's mind, free temperament and feeling for life. The times have changed and the ideological trend has stirred up, but the literati's feelings have never changed. The so-called "Buddhism cultivates the mind, Taoism cultivates health, and Confucianism accomplishes things" constitutes the ideological space, which is the most inspiring. For thousands of years, we should learn from Kong Qiu.
throughout his life, Confucius "aspired to the Tao, relied on virtue, relied on benevolence, and swam in art", and took "prospering in poetry, standing in ceremony, and becoming happy" as the practice way. He once wrote all the songs of the Book of Songs in order to combine the elegant songs of Shao and Wu. He was ridiculed as "inspired by string songs and learned to be vocal music" in order to "rule by string songs". Chen Cai-shi said, "You can't do anything, you can't eat food, you can't prosper if you are sick, and Confucius never fails to recite string songs."
a gentleman can't enjoy himself. A gentleman is better than a piano, and only a gentleman can enjoy himself. Playing the piano and enjoying music is the highest level of gentleman's cultivation, and the unity of man and music shows a peaceful and honest demeanor. In the era of Confucius, Qin music was not only the personal self-cultivation pleasure of later gentlemen, but also the sacred music to accommodate heaven and earth and educate the people. In the music of Yu Qin, Confucius heard the voice of King Wen Shengde, and Shi Kuang heard the voice of Shang Zhou's national subjugation, so Guqin was also called the "sage's instrument". "If Zhong Ni is not born, it will last forever." Confucius' practice of Qin is a classic example of guqin learning and artistic practice. Confucius made the piano, and the music was born from the heart, played with the help of the piano, and cried with it, which also proved the original meaning of the instrument of the piano.
1. Confucius learned to play the piano
Historical Records-A Family of Confucius:
1. Confucius learned to play the drum and piano with Xiangzi, but he didn't enter for ten days. Shi Xiangzi said, "It can be beneficial." Confucius said, "Qiu has learned his songs, but he hasn't learned many of them."
translation: Confucius studied the piano from his teacher Xiangzi for ten days, but he didn't learn any new music. The teacher Xiangzi said to him, "You can increase the learning content." Confucius said: "I am already familiar with the form of music, but I haven't mastered the method yet."
2. There is a room, saying, "I have learned its number and can benefit." Confucius said, "Qiu didn't get his ambition."
After a while, Shi Xiangzi said, "You have mastered the playing skills, so you can increase your learning content." Confucius said, "I haven't understood the artistic conception of the song."
3. There is a room, saying, "I have learned his ambition and can benefit." Confucius said, "Qiu didn't get to be a man."
After a while, Shi Xiangzi said, "You have grasped the artistic conception of the tune, so you can increase the learning content." Confucius said, "I don't know the author yet."
4. There is a room, and there is something Mu Ran thinks deeply, and he is happy and ambitious. He said, "Qiu is a man, gloomy and dark, but a few days long, and his eyes are like sheep, like the four kingdoms of the king. No one but the king of Wen can do this!" Shi Xiangzi offered a seat and bowed again, saying, "Master Gaiyun wrote" Fuck the King of Wen ".
After a while, Confucius looked as if he had entered a new realm: sometimes he looked solemn and thoughtful, and sometimes he was full of high hopes and far-reaching aspirations; Confucius said: "I know who he is: that man is dark-skinned, tall, bright and far-sighted, like a king who rules the governors in all directions. If it weren't for Zhou Wenwang, who else could write this music?" When Shi Xiangzi heard this, he quickly got up and made two obeisances, and replied, "That's what the old pianist said when he taught this piece. This piece is called" King Wen Cao "!"
In the process of learning the piano, it's best to constantly understand the connotation of a piece of music like Confucius, instead of just thinking about catching up with the progress. As the saying goes, it's better to know ten pieces than one.
Second, Confucius played the piano
In the past dynasties, Confucius gave the world a rigid impression of being a master, but in The Analects of Confucius, Confucius maintained a three-dimensional personality of being natural and unrestrained, generous and wise, and in the seven-stringed world of guqin, Confucius even showed his free temperament of singing and crying:
Qin History:
1. Ji Huanzi's dictatorship. .
2. Zhao Jianzi followed jade and silk to hire Confucius. Confucius will go to Dishui before he arrives, and when he hears that Zhao killed his sage, he sighs, "The reason why Fu Zhao ruled was that he was able to sing the calf. Kill the calf and hire the rest. Why do you want to go? " It is to help the piano and sing "Will Return to Fuck".
3. When I turned against Lu, I saw that the secluded valley orchid was unique, and I said, "Fu Lan should be the king's fragrance, but now it is unique, and it is in harmony with the grass. For example, those who are still virtuous are untimely and have a relationship with the humble husband." It is "Fuck Lan
". "I returned to Shandong in self-defense, and then I was happy, and Ya Song was in his place."
4. He also wrote Song of the Hills, saying, "Climb the hills and climb the Osaka. If you are benevolent, you will be far away. "
5. Cao Huo Lin, Cao Si Xian, and Confucius' Reading the Book of Changes are also known as his works or related to them. Today, the most common guqin is Zhong Ni style (Confucius style), which was also created by Confucius. It is square at the waist of the neck, and its sound is elegant and pure.
Third, the piano has something to think about
1. Zhu Changwen tasted the words of "Guishan" and mourned the most sacred place. Listening to the song of "Will Return" hurt the troubled world, and heard the name of "Yi Lan" and sighed that Sheng De had never met.
2. The Book of Changes in Autumn Nights is composed by Wei, with three unique syllables, which are as high as rising to the sky, as flat as walking down, and its melodious voice is enough to touch people's hearts.
3. The Doctrine of the Mean: "If you learn, you can learn and learn.": If you ask, you will know what to do; There is a blessing, and the blessing of thinking is also a blessing; There is a distinction, and there is a distinction between Fu Ming and Fu Cuo; There is a blessing, and there is a blessing. If a man can do it, he will do it; People can do it in ten ways, and they can do it in thousands. If you can do this, you will know if you are stupid, but you will be strong if you are soft. "
4. Contemporary significance of Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting:
The ancient people began to learn from three thousand years, and enlightened their minds. Later, all the classics, history, poetics, music, literature, Yi-ology, philosophy, agriculture, horticulture, medicine, etc. gradually expanded their horizons from human body and life to home, heaven and earth, and gradually broadened their minds, and at the same time used Qin, Qi and painting to cultivate their minds. As the saying goes, "if you are rich, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can be immune to it", so that in such a cramped power environment in ancient times, you can enjoy such splendid cultures as poetry, gardens, folk art, piano music, calligraphy, Chinese painting, Chinese medicine, Yi-ology, Tibetan studies and Dunhuang studies. This phenomenon proves an iron law of learning: selection, absorption, digestion and output.
Today's learners indiscriminately absorb knowledge in parents' wishes, prayers, teachers' requirements and indoctrination, and gradually obliterate their nature, talent, interests, preferences and personality. Then, there is a hopeless surge of emotions among parents, teachers, families, schools and society, which will overflow and collapse if they are not careful. Even if they are afraid and cautious, most of them care for one side. The meaning here is that learning has been absorbed, and it is forced to do it without any choice, and there is no reason to cultivate the export of mind, desire, ambition, emotion and ability, which brings a series of problems and cannot be careless. This is also the practical significance of returning to classicality and approaching piano, chess and calligraphy again. Guqin, which inherits an elegant way of life, needs many cultural and creative ideas such as gardens, poems, architecture and folk art to build a cultural courtyard to care for it, and it is the only choice to build a strong spiritual space.
5. The learning priority and learning process are the first and second essentials of learning.
There has long been a very popular explanation for this:
A. When you buy a book
put it on the shelf or Kindle
you own the book in the physical world;
B. When you open this book
read and take notes
you have this book in the narrative world;
C. When you ask, think and understand
what the book says,
you have this book in your mental world;
D. When you follow what you have learned and understood,
guide yourself to practice,
you have this book in the action world;
e. When you deliberately practice to a certain extent
form muscle memory and solidify it into skills
you have this book in the physical world;
F. When you apply your skills to relevant work in reality
you create products, serve others and provide value
you have this book in the physical world again;
Therefore, buy-read-think-practice-skill-value.
so, after a cycle, it is complete.
