The Book of Songs is China's first collection of poems. Originally called The Book of Songs, it was later honored as a Confucian classic and later called The Book of Songs. In the era of The Book of Songs, with the rise of folk poetry, the trinity of poetry, music and dance came into being. Since The Book of Songs can be sung, it must be closely related to musical instruments. The musical instruments mentioned in the Book of Songs are percussion and percussion, specifically, bells, chimes, drums, pipes, relaxation, sheng, cymbals, harps and harps.
"The pigeon in Guanguan, in Hezhou, is a gentle and graceful lady, and a gentleman is good." The opening work of The Book of Songs was once regarded as a mythical love poem by many people. The sentences "Harp and Friends of Harp" and "Music of Bell and Drum" contain four musical instruments: Harp, Harp and Bell and Drum. For a beautiful woman, you should "play the harp" to get close to her, and "beat gongs and drums" to please her. Later, "Qin, Su and Ming" were regarded as synonymous with the love and harmony between husband and wife, and "the music of bells and drums" became an indispensable part of wedding etiquette. Therefore, there is also a saying in Nu Wa Ji Ming that "Qin and Qi are in harmony": "Qin and Qi are in the imperial court, so they are quiet and good." I wrote a scene where husband and wife respect and love each other, and you play the piano and I play the piano. Many "wives are easy to get along with, such as drums, harps and harps" in "The Emperor" directly point out that husband and wife are harmonious as fish and water. "Luming Literature" in "I have guests, drum, drum, drum, drum". He wrote a scene of a good friend drinking and having fun together. In this poem, "harmony between Qin and Qin" is also understood as harmony and friendly coexistence between friends. In the poem "Car Neighbors", we also wrote scenes of "playing the piano" and "blowing sheng", but we wrote about the decadent life of the rulers. In the poem Zhi Ding Zhong Fang, Wei Wengong was diligent in political affairs while rejuvenating the country. From "hazelnut on the tree, tung paint in the chair, harp and harp." We can know that at that time, catalpa lacquer and paulownia were planted to make pianos and musical instruments. The famous guqin "Wei Jiaoqin" is made of paulownia.
The poem "pass the parcel" directly conveys the feelings of the soldiers on the frontier for their wives with drums: "Drumming is boring, and actively using troops. The land becomes Cao, and I swim south alone. " Drum was synonymous with war in ancient times. "One drum is full, then it will decline, and three drums will be exhausted", and the drum sound means the beginning of the charge. In the poem "Picking pearls", there is a poem "Fang Shu leads the way, pheasants beat drums, and Chen Shixing". With the consent of Fang Shu, the drums were cut at a distance, which shocked the brigade. "With drums as the foil, he created the image of the commander-in-chief Fang Shu of the hero SHEN WOO." The Mountain has a Fulcrum is a poem that satirizes the miser-style aristocratic rulers. But the author didn't write it directly, but told everyone that with the bell and drum, you would get nothing. The "bell" and "drum" here are symbols of status. "Wan Qiu" in "Kan Qi drums, under Wan Qiu. "Drum in dance is a common musical instrument." Kan Qi went on strike, the way to the mountains. "The' bang' mentioned in the book is a percussion instrument.
"With a cockroach in his left hand and a cockroach in his right hand. He is like a pig. He is a public servant. " The poem "Jane Xi" tells us a woman's love story for a dancer who leads a dance performance team of ten thousand people. Hu is an ancient wind instrument, very similar to a flute. We imagine how grand it would be if a mighty and handsome dancer led the dance with a pheasant tail in one hand and a pheasant tail in the other. From the fact that this dancer was personally given wine by the public, we can also imagine how chic his dancing should be to make a woman fall in love at first sight. "Gentleman" also mentioned the bamboo musical instrument "Sheng": "Gentleman, hold the spring in his left hand and lead me out of the room with his right hand. Very interesting! "
In Who, two musical instruments, rhyme and chi, are written, while in Drum and Bell, chime is written, which is also a symbol of status and status. In Drum Bell, we also wrote many musical instruments, such as Sheng, Qing, Qin and Paixiao. From the description of many musical instruments in this poem, we can see that the ruler described by the author likes music, but he doesn't call it virtue. In addition, the musical instrument "Zhong" is written in poems such as Lu Ling, Xiao Guo and Ting Liao.
Poetry itself can be sung with music. Since you can sing, musical instruments are essential. There are many poems with musical instruments in The Book of Songs, which reproduce the life scenes of the ancients for us and make us feel the strong charm of ancient style.
