1059, when Su Shi and his father Su Xun spent the night in Xiezhou (Yibin, Sichuan), they wrote "Listening to Adults Playing the Piano on the Boat" according to the piano music played by their father:
"Jiangpu night play the piano forever, listen to the excitement alone. Song Feng Waterfall has been cleaned, and I prefer Yu Pei's voice. Since Kevin·Z's disorderly music, ancient artifacts have been forgotten. Thousands of lonely pianos exist, just like immortal reading the rise and fall. The world can't resist the ancient style alone, but strive for loudness with new songs. The slight voice is weak and changeable, and several sounds are as clear as a spring. Ruthless dead wood, still alive today, not to mention the ancient meaning. Jiang is famous, and please play King Wen at night. "
This poem not only expresses Su Shi's love for guqin, but also expresses his own views and opinions on guqin creation.
Su Shi has an indissoluble bond with guqin all his life, and he can't travel without guqin. For example, he recorded the relevant details in detail in Travel to the Mountain. When receiving visitors, you can't do without the company of Guqin. For example, in his poem "Ji Qin by the field", you recorded the scene at that time. When you are writing literature, you should listen to the piano-watch Miscellaneous Books, Piano Things, or even listen to the piano in your own dreams-watch Zhong Shuqin's Dream.
Guqin became an important part of Su Shi's daily life. Su Shi was still talking about Guqin with Guqin artists. Su Shi's literary works on guqin mainly include On Rhyme, Playing the Qin by Yourself, How to Listen to the Martial Taoism, Reduced Words and Yulan Qin, Listening to the Monk Qin, Listening to the Qin and so on.
Su Shi once wrote a special book about Guqin-Guqin Miscellanies, including Collection of Leiqin at Home, The Way of Dai is not as good as Ruan, etc. There is a kind of guqin recorded in the Collection of Leiqin at home, which is more pleasing than my fingers, but its back is as long as a leaf, but it wants to go out and linger, but it is.
Therefore, when evaluating Su Shi, later generations thought that he had unique attainments in music, especially pointed out that Guqin was folk, which narrowed the distance between Guqin and ordinary people. Su Shi maintained a unique interest in folk art all his life, and recorded a large number of folk dances and music, which also became important materials for his literary creation.
Su Shi has a far-reaching influence on literary creation, and his influence on music also affects the society with his literary and artistic achievements. He played the banner of reform in the field of Yuefu, which had a great influence on music creation.
In addition to the above contents, Su Shi's musical activities also pay attention to and study instrumental music, which can be seen in Yang Cigong's Fu Qingming and Jin Shu Kouzhi. In addition, there are comments on music facts in history, which can be found in Tang Law and Sui Chen Hao Le. He not only loves guqin very much, but also has a close relationship with musicians and often inscribes music works.
Su Shi has a wide range of hobbies. He is not only good at composing lyrics, but also superb in the art of appreciating music. He has his own unique attainments in music art, especially his love for guqin.
Su Shi's turbulent life, bumpy life and changeable life provide inexhaustible themes for his music activities, and Su Shi is very proficient in poetry, piano, chess and calligraphy, which further expands his activity space in the music field.
