What Venus with a broken arm shows is a beautiful deformity and a sigh of regret for its infinite charm. The Erhu Opera "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" brings people a shocking beauty created by imperfection, and it is to walk out of glory in imperfect adversity. If the former is incomplete image beauty and the latter is incomplete inner beauty, then the former is incomplete beauty and the latter is incomplete beauty.
The original title of "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" is different. The villagers called it "Yi Xin Qu", and the author A Bing claimed to be "self-motivated". When he was singing in the teahouse, he also called it "Huishan Er Quan". 1950, when Yang and Cao Anhe recorded in Wuxi, they named the erhu song "Song Ting" on the spot. He Lvting once said: "The nickname" Two Springs Reflecting the Moon "actually contradicts its music. It is not so much a description of the scenery of "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" as a profound expression of A Bing's own painful life experience. " (2) He Lvting is right. According to his life experience, Lenovo has three names, Yi Xin Qu, Zi Lai Qiang and Huishan Er Quan. It is not difficult to see that the villagers called it "Yi Xin Qu" and thought it was A Bing's heartfelt music, while A Bing claimed that "self-singing" was a pain in his heart that he had to say from the beginning. Who can give A Bing a pair of bright eyes? Only Huishan Er Quan became an infinite daydream in A Bing's heart. Huishan Er Quan was originally the "second spring in the world", but it became two springs in A Bing's heart, with two clear and bright eyes reflecting the moonlight.
A Bing grew up in Leizun Temple in Wuxi. His real name is Hua, and he is a master of creating Taoist folk music, especially the pipa. A Bing studied music, bamboo flute, erhu, sanxian and pipa with his father since childhood. His percussion instruments were perfect and his skills matured in his youth. Later, due to family decline and physical illness, he was driven out of the Taoist temple. Soon, he died of eye disease, became blind and took to the streets to perform. For a blind person, people are more sympathetic to the ugly phenomenon of society. A Bing's image as a street performer can't arouse people's feelings of beauty at all, but A Bing's piano sound arouses people's voices and gives people unprecedented beauty shock. This kind of beauty shock comes from incomplete image representation, which creates incomplete artistic behavior. This kind of created incomplete beauty and image ugliness are so discordant, so far away, but so close. Beautiful piano sounds come from the heart, flow in the heart and shock people.
As a natural person, A Bing is a cripple. He is blind, and a pair of sunglasses always hangs on his thin and morbid face. His shabby gown relies on his beloved erhu and pipa. All the year round, whether it is the spring when everything recovers, or the hot summer day, whether it is the crisp autumn moon in autumn or the cold wind in winter. A bamboo pole that explores the road beats on the stone road in Wuxi street without change, telling people that a blind man has come and he will stay in this dark world forever.
As a social person, A Bing is the most beautiful person. "Although the image is evil, the heart is good, and the gentleman's way is harmless." (3) A Bing blind heart but smart, physically disabled but has a beautiful heart, is a real gentleman. Prouddin, an ancient Roman philosopher, pointed out: "Beauty is also good, from which reason obtains its beauty directly. Behind beauty, we call it the goodness of nature, and beauty is in front of goodness. Beauty is the reason, and behind beauty is goodness, which is the essence of beauty. " (4) The beauty of A Bing lies in his piano music. He doesn't beg as a street performer, he doesn't thank the recipients, and he doesn't starve to death. His piano music is never moved by profit. His piano music is the voice of justice, truth, goodness and beauty.
As music, he left people a masterpiece-"Two Springs Reflecting the Moon". A Bing grew up in Taoism, and Taoism's simple dialectics of nature also exerts a subtle influence on A Bing's world outlook and the harmony between man and nature. The concept of the balance of opposites has also entered A Bing's artistic creation. In A Bing's mind, everything in the world is round, lacking, with a short ruler and a long inch, which is divided into two and changes endlessly. A Bing made up for his incompleteness, and he got everything by making up for it. In "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon", he made up for it seamlessly and created a scene where man and nature live in harmony. People only see flying needles, but they can't figure out a trace. People only hear the knife flying, but they can't find a corner of the deformity. All they have is the changing harmonious melody and the empty voice of nature.
God seems unfair. A Bing, who grew up in Taoist temple, lost her maternal love at an early age. Secular prejudice makes his own son can only be recognized as an adopted son. The bad habits of Taoism forced him to stay away from the Dojo, and almost all young people's misfortunes were concentrated on him. Suffering goes far beyond this. The embarrassment of life has captured the eyes of young people with great musical talent, and since then they have lost the last ray of bright hope in the dark world. The unfairness of the world made A Bing's actions even less free, and his musical instrument lost its support when he walked. From then on, a rope was added to the erhu to connect it with A Bing, and erhu and A Bing used a rope to make the sound of the wandering piano more restrained.
God is just after all. "God never shuts one door but he opens another". A Bing, who used to be lively and active, fell into a dark and silent world from the noise of performing arts, which made A Bing suffer the hardships of life and the baptism of his soul. The light and darkness of the real world merged into his own music world, and his blind eyes became Huishan Er Quan. He kept his eyes in his heart, looked coldly at the hardships of the times, laughed at the desolate world, and injected all the feelings of life into the piano. He supported the posture of erhu with tenacious vitality and resistance, and played a seemingly incomplete but full of aesthetic feeling.
The incomplete beauty of "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" is reflected in the unique playing technique and charm of the work. After A Bing lost his sight, he had to walk under the guidance of others. Even in teahouses and wineries, they often perform standing, and their helpless performance posture forces A Bing to adopt the technique suitable for standing, thus forming a performance technique different from that of normal people. A Bing mostly hangs erhu on his body, so it is inconvenient to change it when playing. He often plays a whole piece of music in the same position. One finger can play several notes, and there is a pause when changing the handle. This is the characteristic of honest performance, and it is also the characteristic of musical style. "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" uses a lot of sliding fingers and empty string sounds, and its unique playing techniques add empty inspiration and unique charm of sliding fingers to music. Not only do people feel no discomfort, but they think it is irreplaceable, wonderful and unimaginable.
Incompleteness is not beauty. Incompleteness is an objective existence, a natural misfortune, a failure and an careless destruction. I really want to know who would deliberately harm a complete work of art, such as: soiling a calligraphy work, tearing up half a painting work, knocking out a corner of a handicraft, or carrying Venus with a broken arm on the other arm. If there is, it must be psychopathy, hatred and jealousy of beauty. The same is true of "two springs reflecting the moon" No one will feel beautiful for A Bing's blindness, and no one will cheer for A Bing's hard standing and walking. They all sympathize with the blind and lament the hardships of playing. Incompleteness is A Bing's misfortune. Street performers are his means of making a living. Walking and pulling created a unique playing skill. The creation of "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" is caused by A Bing's musical talent and strong desire to make a living, both of which are just right.
Incomplete is not beauty, incomplete is a perfect counterpart. Incompleteness can not bring beauty to the works, but the strong contrast between incompleteness and beauty produces beauty. The "white cloth" in calligraphy and the "residual edge" in seal cutting are typical incomplete "creations". When talking about Jingjing, A Qing scholar Wang Guowei pointed out: "Creating Jingjing and writing Jingjing are the differences between this ideal and realism. However, it is quite difficult to distinguish the two. Because the realm created by great poets must conform to nature, the realm written must also be adjacent to the ideal. " (5) The beauty of Gu Zhuo shown by the broken edges of ancient seal cutting remains has always been admired by people. Even if it is newly sealed, there are procedures for trimming. In calligraphy, "taking white as black" means taking blank as the expression factor, and the treatment of virtual reality and black and white is the structure of the artistic conception of the work, which makes the work have an ethereal and implicit charm. Imagine, if there are no defects such as "playing the sideline ball" and "covering the white", but the layout of heaven and earth is unified and harmonious, how can there be a vivid feeling, and the incompleteness shows the theme more clearly. The beautiful and harmonious music of "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" was played by an artist who was blind and had strange techniques. This is a huge contrast and a wonderful challenge. The dreamland created by A Bing is by no means a creation, nor a "creation" on a whim, but a "writing" of emotional catharsis in the depths of the soul.
Incompleteness is not beauty, but it can bring beauty. Venus with a broken arm is recognized as the beauty of deformity, but beauty is not deformity, but a helpless sigh for deformity-it will be more beautiful without deformity. Venus brings people the beauty of reverie and the pursuit of perfection. People have done this many times, and the results are not satisfactory, so they have to keep the status quo. It is not that there are countless perfect Venus in people's hearts, and they have higher requirements for that broken arm, which brings people endless beautiful reverie. Similarly, when A Bing's deformity is reflected in Two Springs Reflecting the Moon, we obviously feel abnormal. Unique fingering and abnormal position bring us unusual timbre. This kind of music is novel and has never appeared in the same sound, but you can't change it at all. Once this seemingly incomplete technique is changed, it will lose its unique charm. The "realm of self" is the "realm of non-self", which cannot be recognized if it is incomplete.
Incomplete is not beauty, but incomplete can get beauty. The imperfection of the moon shows a process beauty. "The bright moon has experienced ups and downs, and people have joys and sorrows." From the crescent moon with a silver hook upside down to the full moon with a jade plate hanging high, the moon has experienced a process from incompleteness to perfection, which makes people enjoy the pursuit of perfection. With the help of the full moon, this natural phenomenon is interpreted as a social phenomenon. It is more about personification by borrowing things and pinning people's emotions. A Bing's "Spring Moon", Chen Zhenduo's "Moon by the Bridge", the ancients' "Moon in the Palace of the Han Dynasty" and Mr. Tianhua's "The Moon in the Moonlight" are endless, and there are endless words. "This month was like the ancients", and the incompleteness of the moon has not been reduced at all.
Incompleteness is not beauty. But imperfection can create beauty. The beauty expressed in "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" is the beauty created because of imperfection. The thousand-handed Guanyin performed by the deaf-mute has aroused great interest, but it brings people the extraordinary expressiveness and behind-the-scenes hardships shown by the disabled, and more people admire the actors and their acting skills. The Moon Reflected in Two Springs is not only a work created by blind people, there are more than 10 million blind people in the world, and there are also many skilled artists, but only A Bing has created a masterpiece that shocked the world. It is different from Venus's "beauty of incomplete imagination", nor is it calligraphy, nor is it the "beauty of incomplete contrast" in seal cutting works, nor is it the "beauty of incomplete process" of the moon. "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" is a "beauty of imperfection" created by imperfection, which changes the shortcomings of imperfection, making it shorter and longer, just like a piece of jade, with different sizes, weights, convexities and concavities and colors.
Incompleteness is not beauty. A Bing's disability is not only blindness, the broken limbs of his family, the humiliation of his native land and the contempt of Taoism, which all constitute the tragic color of A Bing's later life. A heavy and profound sense of tragedy hangs over the sentimental A Bing. China has always had different tunes, east, west, north and south, all of which originated from the same tragic story: "the bleak east sound, the homesick west sound, the homesick south sound and the parting north sound." 6. North, south, east and west are sad sounds. Apart from showing that tragedy is an eternal theme, it is also A Bing's incompleteness. This paper makes a good analysis of the incomplete beauty of Two Springs Reflecting on the Moon: there is both the hatred of abandonment and the pain of parting, that is, the nostalgia and resentment for the world, all of which revolve around the loss and depravity of people and express the complexity of the author's inner feelings and relationships, rather than the "Two Springs Reflecting on the Moon".
Incompleteness is not beauty, but helplessness. After all, Venus with a broken arm is still good, and A Bing's blindness is also a human tragedy. The bitter water from the two springs reflecting the moon is still not as beautiful as the moonlight reflected by Huishan Er Quan. In the final analysis, "Two Springs Reflect the Moon" is a helpless work, which is A Bing's move to survive, embodies A Bing's outlook on life of self-reliance and self-reliance, and shows A Bing's profound artistic skill and talent for music creation. In A Bing's time, erhu usually used two strings as the inner string and the auxiliary string as the outer string, while A Bing used the old string. In A Bing's own words, "it can be used for a long time." When A Bing is used, there is no noise when playing the high position of the inner chord, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, which shows A Bing's extremely high skill. It is not convenient for A Bing to walk and play standing. In the performance, he is famous for his short bow, which shortens the distance between bows and keeps the strength of lifting them. His performance style is delicate and profound, simple and vigorous. It is difficult to change the position of the handle because the piano barrel is not supported because it is played vertically. A Bing added a unique charm to the timbre by constantly sliding fingers and extending the sliding sound with one finger. The old string, the short bow and the sliding finger are just the incomplete movements that these normal people don't do, and they have interpreted "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" for us. Incomplete helplessness is limited, while creative activities are infinite. A Bing brought people shocking beauty and incomplete tragic beauty.
Incomplete is not beauty, A Bing is misfortune, and A Bing is far away from us in the dark. Incomplete created beauty, we are lucky, and A Bing left us eternal moonlight. A Bing created beauty with imperfection, so that we can't feel the imperfection of two springs reflecting the moon at all. "Two springs reflecting the moon" is perfect, and it doesn't even leave any room for future generations to change-because it is the beauty created by imperfection. "This song should only be heard in the sky, and it is rare for someone to hear it several times." This is the case in the sky, this is the case on the ground, and so is the "two springs reflecting the moon".
