Its material originated from the folk in Ming Dynasty, and it was composed in Kangxi of Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, and it was based on the story of Chen Tuan's ancestor. Chen Tuan, a famous Taoist in the Northern Song Dynasty, lived for 118 years, and was also called "Sleeping Fairy" because of his special ability to sleep. Legend has it that Chen Tuan, a scholar, stopped at Wudang Mountain, met an old man with a white beard and taught the "Five Dragons Sting Method", which is similar to hibernation. He moves for several years when he is happy, and sleeps for decades when he is unlucky. This was repeated alternately, and finally he became immortal at the age of 118.
the whole song has a sense of freedom and humor. I didn't feel anything at first, but now I want to start with it every time I practice the piano. I always think of the word "rare and confused", and my upset mood will soon be calmed down, so I can also say that it has the function of self-cultivation. The more I practice, the more I like it.
In terms of playing techniques, although this song is short, it focuses on the word "harmony". It is recorded in "The Situation of Xishan Qinqin" that: reviewing the past is the most sacred, the mind is connected with nature, and virtue is associated with the gods, and the temperament of the whole body is managed, so it is made into a piano. The most important thing is harmony. It can be seen that the word "harmony" is the essence of practicing and playing the piano. Obviously, it takes a lot of effort to play it well.
