Meihua Sannong: Guqin Music. Also known as Introduction of Plum Blossom and Introduction of Jade Princess, it is a masterpiece of plum blossom in China traditional art, and Magic Secret Music records that this song was first played by Huan Yi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Bao Zhao in the Southern Song Dynasty (about 4 14 ~ 466) Guo Maoqian's Poems of Yuefu, Volume 24, Plum Blossom Falls, said that "Plum Blossom Falls are also made on flutes" and that "its sound still exists today". In today's Tang poetry, there are also many descriptions of the flute "Plum Blossom Fall", which shows that the flute "Plum Blossom Fall" was more popular between the Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty.
The music content of Three Lane of Plum Blossoms has been introduced in all previous dynasties, and the flute music Plum Blossom Fall from the Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty mostly expresses the feelings of resentment and parting.
The piano music "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is characterized by plum blossom's arrogance, coldness, noble, unyielding moral integrity and temperament. "Huan Yi played the flute, played the plum blossom tune, and was superb, and later generations entered the piano." "Mei is the clearest flower, Qin is the clearest sound, and writing the clearest thing with the clearest sound should have the charm of ling frost." "Three strokes mean taking three overtones, which are different on the same string." As can be seen from here, it was first a flute music, and then it was adapted into a guqin music (it is difficult to determine who the author is).
The music used in today's performance is composed by Qin and flute of "Qin Qu Harmony" of Yushan School (edited by Qing Xianzu and engraved on 1820), with regular rhythm and suitable for ensemble. In the late Guangling school, the Jiaoan musical score (Qin Huai Han Ji in Qing Dynasty, published in 1868) has a relatively free rhythm, and the mode before the end of the song is refreshing.
Structurally, this song adopts the method of circular reproduction, repeating the whole theme three times, and each repetition adopts the overtone playing method, so it is called "agriculture, countryside and farmers". It embodies the noble character of Bai Meihua Aoxue Frost. 1972, Wang Jianzhong adapted it for the piano, and the tone was taken from it, playing Mao Zedong's Yongmei.
Three unique skills of huanyi and flute playing ―― Three unique skills of plum blossom.
Plum blossom, lofty aspirations, ice muscle jade bone and lingering fragrance of cold ling have always been the objects admired by literati. "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" is a flute or flute music, which was later adapted into piano music.
"Agriculture, countryside and farmers" means playing the same tune three times over and over again. This repeated treatment aims to describe plum blossom's heroic, unyielding character and enterprising spirit in the cold wind.
The historical allusion of Three Lane of Plum Blossoms is the story of Huan Yi, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, playing three plum blossoms for Wang Huizhi, a madman. This allusion is recorded in 51 biographies of the Book of Jin and 23 Shi Shuo Dan.
Wang Huizhi was called to Jiankang, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his ship was anchored at Qingxi Wharf. Huan Yi happened to be on the shore, and Wang Huizhi and Wang Huizhi didn't know each other. At this time, a guest on board said, "This is King Ye Huan (Huan Yi Ye Zi)." Wang Huizhi ordered someone to say to Huan Yi, "Wenjun Mountain plays the flute, try to play it for me." Huan Yi is a senior official at this time, but he also heard about Wang Huizhi for a long time, so he got off the boat and got on the boat. Huan Yi sat on the Hu bed, playing the flute, and playing the tune of plum blossom, which was wonderful. After playing, Huanyi immediately got on the bus and left. The two sides didn't talk a word. Jin people are broad-minded, informal and aboveboard, which shows this.
According to the Book of Jin, Huan Yi was a military commander and a general of the right army, in charge of all military affairs in Yuzhou. Perhaps it was music that cultivated his mind. Huan Yi is modest and unpretentious. He made a great contribution and never avoided it. It is because of this character that he can calm down and study music. "Book of Jin" praised him for his outstanding talent in this respect. "Being happy for a while, Jiang Zuo is the first. There is a Curtin flute, and I often play it myself. "
In the eighth year of Taiyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 383), Fu Jian threw troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Huan Yi, then a corps commander, Xie Xuan, the top scholar general, and Xie Yan, the assistant general, defeated Fu Jian in the water (that is, the famous "Battle of Feishui" in history). Xie An, the prime minister, also went to Taibao because of his achievements in saving gold. Later, Sima Daozi, the younger brother of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, had a power struggle with Xie An, and repeatedly vilified Xie An. Emperor Wu of Jin had doubts about Xie An and gradually began to neglect Xie An. Huan Yi is unfair for this. At a banquet, Huan Yi played a sad song "Poems of Complaint" for Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, which sang: "It is not easy to be a good minister alone. Loyalty is not obvious, but there are doubts. Zhou Jinwei is unpublished. Pushing the heart to help Wang Zheng, the second uncle opposes rumors. " Its "wide range and considerable pitch". Emperor Wu of song felt very ashamed. Xie An was also moved by it.
Wang Huizhi, another protagonist in Three Lane of Plum Blossoms, is the son of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, and once served as assistant minister of Huangmen. Wang Huizhi acts strangely, pretends to be detached, is brilliant, bohemian, and is an official who does nothing.
Wang Huizhi used to be a cavalry officer under General Huan Chong. Huan Chong once asked him, "Which office do you work in?" He replied, "I don't know what the official office is, but I often see a horse coming in, which seems to be Ma Su.
"Huan Chong asked," how many military forces are there in the imperial court? He replied, "How can you know if you don't ask the number of horses?" "Huan Chong asked again," How many horses have died recently? " He replied, "if you don't know life, how can you know death?" "
Wang Huizhi's answer is humorous, but they all come from different places. There was a Ma Su in the Prime Minister's House in the Western Han Dynasty, but there was no Ma Su in the army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to show his detachment, Wang Huizhi deliberately called Ma Su. Later, in the Song Dynasty, Lu You once wrote a poem "Dr. Wen wrote a donkey coupon, and the Ministry joined the army and sentenced Ma Su", which was the allusion of Wang Huizhi. "Don't ask the horse" in the above dialogue comes from The Analects of Confucius and industrious towns and villages. It turned out that Confucius' stable was on fire, and Confucius "didn't ask the horse", only asked if anyone was injured. "If you don't know life, how can you know death?" There is a saying, from The Analects of Confucius Advanced, the original text is "Lu Ji asked ghosts and gods, and Confucius said,' If you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts?' Dare to ask death. Say:' If you don't know life, how can you know death? "Wang Huizhi irrelevant answer, hilarious, but every word has a history. He is resourceful, knowledgeable and admirable.
Huan Yi is gentle, while Wang Huizhi is bold and knowledgeable. Although they didn't say a word, it was a rare opportunity. It was the unexpected encounter between Huan Yi and Wang Huizhi that led to the birth of Three Lane of Plum Blossoms.
It is said that "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" is one of the most popular flute music on Song boats in Ming and Qing Dynasties. "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" has almost become a compulsory course for famous prostitutes represented by Eight Yan in Qinhuai. The flute sounded in the shadow of the paddle lamp, which was a beautiful scenery at that time. Qinhuai River even gave birth to cultural landscapes such as "stopping to listen to the flute" and "inviting the flute to step".
1972, the composer adapted the ancient song "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" into piano music, with the theme of the word "operator", that is, "Joe does not strive for spring, but only reports spring. When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she laughs in the bushes. " Jiang Yuheng once sang a popular song "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms", which was also taken from an ancient song. The lyrics sing, "The world of mortals has its own infatuation. Don't laugh at infatuation. If it weren't for some cold bones, plum blossoms would be fragrant. Asking how the world is like, just teaching people to live and die, and seeing how many stories there are in the world is the most fascinating plum blossom trick. "
From the perspective of pop songs, it is also a masterpiece.
Modern people play with ancient customs, whether it is to show political character or to show the love between men and women, after all, they lack the lofty elegance of the ancients, so it goes without saying that their tastes are high or low.
