Think back to last spring, there was a gentleman by the river.
I visited again today, but I didn't see my bosom friend.
But it hurts to see a piece of land!
Sad, sad, sad, can't bear to cry.
Why come and go? There are dark clouds on the river bank.
This song will never be played again, and the three-foot lyre will die for you!
Explanation:
Recalling meeting you by the river last spring, I went to visit again today, but I couldn't see your bosom friend. Just seeing a grave makes me sad. Sad, sad, sad, so I can't help crying, to see how happy you are and know how painful it is for you to die. Even the river is full of gloom. I won't play this song again. Just smash this piano and bury it with you!
Yu Boya was born in the State of Chu (now Jingzhou, Hubei) during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Although he was a native of Chu, he practiced medicine in Jin and was proficient in piano art. Bo Ya touched the piano and met his bosom friend, which was the story that happened on his way home from visiting relatives.
Extended data:
The story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, the ancients, who met each other because of music.
On a certain day, Yu Boya received an order from the King of Jin at that time to go to Chu as an envoy to talk about things. On August 15, Boya took a boat to Hanyang Estuary. Unfortunately, there is a strong wind and waves on the river. There was no way, the ship could not go forward, but found a place to temporarily avoid the wind and waves, so it stopped at the foot of a small mountain.
At night, the wind and waves gradually became smaller, the dark clouds dispersed and the moon was visible. This is really a beautiful night. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Boya was very happy and aroused his interest. He took out the piano he carried with him and began to play it very seriously, showing an intoxicated expression. Boya's interest has really come. After playing one song, he still felt unsatisfied, so he played another.
The wonderful piano sound sounded at night, and Boya enjoyed the process very much.
Just then, Boya suddenly saw something moving on the shore and stood there alone. Boya felt very strange and wanted to know who this person really was. So, I patted it subconsciously, but I didn't expect to push too hard and a string was broken.
At this time, there was a voice from the shore, which came from Turen. The man said loudly, "Don't worry, sir. I just came to the mountains to collect firewood. I didn't expect to be late. Passing by here, I heard my husband's piano sound, which was very nice, so I couldn't help but stop and listen. "
After Boya listened to the man's speech clearly, it happened that today was the full moon night on August 15. In the moonlight, he saw that the man was indeed carrying a load of dry wood, making sure that the man was not lying.
Boya is more curious. Since he is a clown in a mountain village, how can he understand my piano? He said, "You said that my piano sound is beautiful. Obviously, I can understand my piano sound. Then tell me what tune I just played." The man was not afraid, nor did he run away.
In the face of Boya's question, he replied unhurriedly: "Sir, then I dare to say it." The music you just played was composed by Confucius, a Confucian master, to praise his student Yan Hui. You play very well. Unfortunately, I don't know why, when I played the fourth sentence in the song, the piano suddenly broke. It turned out that a string was broken. "
Boya was very happy when he heard the man's answer, because what he said was not wrong at all. Faced with such a person, Boya was sure to have a good talk, so he invited that person to his boat.
The man came to the boat and saw an ancient piano with broken strings. He quickly said, "This is a good piano with a certain history. This piano is a famous lyre. According to people, it was made by our ancestor Fu. The man said, and then told Boya the whole story of the piano.
At this time, Boya was surprised and happy in his heart, and his eyes showed admiration for this man's knowledge. It is rare to meet such a person who knows his piano sound, and Boya's mood is at an extreme.
Considering that that person knows the piano so well, I think that person will also be a master of music appreciation, so I decided to play some other songs and invite that person to appreciate the meaning expressed in the music. That man doesn't flinch at all, because he really knows the piano.
