Eighteen beats of the Hu family is a lyric poem in ancient Yuefu, with one beat and 18 chapters as * * *, hence the name, which embodies the theme of "Happy Moon Returning to Han".
There was chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, and it was a bonfire year after year. Cai Wenji was captured by Huns during his escape and lived in the Great Wall. Later, he married Zuo and gave birth to two children. She spent twelve spring and autumn years outside the Great Wall, but she missed her hometown all the time. Cao Cao pacified the Central Plains, made peace with Xiongnu, and sent envoys to use it.
Wenxi was redeemed for a large sum of money, so she wrote the famous long poem "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia", describing the unfortunate experiences in her life. Qin Ge has editions such as Big Hu Jia, Little Hu Jia and Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia. Although the tunes are different, they all reflect the extremely contradictory and painful feelings that Cai Wenji missed his hometown and could not bear to be separated. Music euphemistically mourns and tears the liver and intestines.
Eighteen beats of the Hu family is a lyric poem in ancient Yuefu, with one beat and 18 chapters as * * *, hence the name, which embodies the theme of "Happy Moon Returning to Han". During the war at the end of Han Dynasty, Cai Wenji lived in South Xiongnu for twelve years. As Zuo's wife, she misses her hometown very much. When Cao Cao sent someone to take her back to the mainland, she had to leave two children behind. The joy of going home was overwhelmed by the pain of separation of flesh and blood, and her mood was very contradictory.
Guqin music of Han nationality is said to be composed of 18 songs, accompanied by Qin. "Pai" is the "first" in Turkic, hence the name "Hu Jia", which is why the sound of the piano melted Hu Che's wailing. It shows Wenxi's homesickness, ionic sadness and awesome resentment. At present, Qin Le is the most popular one.
Dong, a pianist in the Tang Dynasty, is famous for being good at playing this piece. Li Jie's "Listening to Dong Da's Exalting" has a saying: "Mrs. Cai wrote this song for 18 verses for a long time, and the Tatar shed tears and grass, and the Han made him sad." In Qin music, Wenxi empathizes with sound, borrows Hu Jia's music which is good at expressing homesickness and sadness, and blends into the timbre of guqin, showing a noble resentment.
There are two kinds of biographies at present. One is Qin Ge, whose lyrics match those in Qing Qi (1597) and Qin Shi (16 1 1), whose lyrics are Cai Wenji's narrative poems of the same name; Secondly, the solo music recorded by the piano score of Chengjiantang in the early Qing Dynasty and its later scores, especially the notation in Wuzhizhai Piano Score, are the most representative.
The whole song has eighteen paragraphs * * *, using three modes: Gong, Zheng (zhǐ) and Yu. The contrast and development of music are distinct and divided into two levels. The first ten beats mainly describe the author's nostalgia for his hometown when he was in Woody; The latter level expresses the author's hidden pain and sadness when bidding farewell to young children.
The whole song of this song is inseparable from the word "sadness", which has been adapted into a wind solo. When playing a wind instrument, the sad voice penetrates people's hearts, the high one is sad, and the low one is deep and sad.
Cai Wenji's Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia was praised by Guo Moruo as "the most enjoyable long sentence since Qu Yuan's Lisao".
The whole poem consists of eighteen paragraphs and eighteen complete sets of songs. Guo Moruo said that in Turkic, the word "first" is called "beat", and eighteen beats are eighteen songs. Because this poem was written by Hu Jia for crying, it was named "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" or "Hu Jiaming". Originally A Qin music, it gradually evolved into two different instrumental music after Wei and Jin Dynasties, called "Dahujiaming" and "Xiaohujiaming". The former is a direct biography of Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia.
Huang, a pianist in the Tang Dynasty, was famous for being good at playing this piece. Li Jie has a poem "Listen to Dong Da's Blowing an Essay": "This song was written by Mrs. Cai. In ancient times, 18 verses were sung one by one, and even the Tatars shed tears on the grass, which made the Han Dynasty feel sad." It is a summary of the content of the song. The existing music scores were first found in the book The Secret Book of Magic published by 1425, which is called "Hu Jia Da Xiao". They are all instrumental music without lyrics. Singing piano music "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" was first written by Sun Pixian in the thirty-ninth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 16 1 1), and it is the most widely circulated music book now. Its lyrics are Wen Xi's "I didn't do anything at the beginning of my life ...". Music basically adopts the method of one word and one sound, which has the characteristics of early songs. From the first beat to the ninth beat, as well as the twelfth and thirteenth beats, the ending is the same, influenced by the Han Dynasty and Daqu. The whole song is a six-Otoha tone, and the rising intrinsic sound (up to 5) and the high note formed in the mold (up to 1) are often used as tone external sounds. I feel sad and happy, which is quite touching.
It is also one of the top ten famous ancient songs of the Han nationality.
