There is a sentence in Bai Juyi's famous poem "Pipa" in the Tang Dynasty: "After she flicked the string, twisted it slowly, swept it, plucked it and dressed it up, it was originally. Among them, "Nishang" is the abbreviation of the large-scale dance music "Colorful Feathers" in the Tang Dynasty, while "Tang" is called "Breaking Chen Bai Tao Li Nishang Feathers", which was a famous French song at that time.
Caiyu was originally an Indian dance music Brahman. In the Tang Dynasty, there were extensive cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, and a large number of Indian (Tianzhu) music from the Western Regions and South Asia was introduced. During the Zhenguan period, there were ten pieces of music in the imperial court, among which Tianzhu music was introduced into China with Buddhism and became popular. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, could "tune" (Tang? 6? 1 Nan Zhuo's Jiegu Record); He also "loved French music", founded the Pear Garden and established the "French Department" to try, rehearse, modify and complete his own French music. During the Kaiyuan period, I made Yang create a sound according to law in Hexi and dedicated it to Emperor Taizong. Li Longji won this song, polished it and wrote lyrics, and personally composed this famous Liyuan song. In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, it was renamed Caiyu.
Tang introduced Cai Yu as a masterpiece. At first, he only performed in court. In the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Yang Yuhuan first met in Huaqingchi, and Xuanzong played "Nishang" to lead the way. At that time, the minister Zhang said that the poem Huaqing Palace said: "The night is heavy and the sky is still young, and the blue clouds dance; The Jade Emperor rose in the air, and the moon was full and the Lishan Palace leaked long. 」
Because of the beautiful tune and exquisite conception, various provinces and cities have rehearsed this song. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, all the literati sang or recorded songs, such as Wang Jian's New Moonlight Dress and Yuan Zhen's Clothes Are Featured, but most of them were fragmentary, with the exception of Bai Juyi.
In addition to Pipa Xing, Bai Juyi has many poems related to nishang. In the Song of Eternal Sorrow in the first year of Yuanhe, he described Yang Guifei's dance as "the light wind blows the clothes, still like colorful clothes". And "until the war drum, which started from Yuyang, shook the earth and shocked the sentence" dancing in clothes "."Breaking "has both the double meanings of" breaking "and" breaking "after the preface of" Nishang ",and puns into poetry have different meanings. During the Yuanhe period in Tang Xianzong, Bai Juyi enjoyed the song and dance of "Nishang" while accompanying the banquet in Zhaoyang Palace. " There are countless songs and dances, so I like the dance of nishang best, and I am deeply fascinated by "colorful feathers". Bai Juyi was appointed as an assassin in Suzhou in Bao Liyuan, Tang Jingzong. After becoming an official in autumn, I was eager to hear this song again, so I asked Yuan Zhen, a close friend of Yuezhou assassin who was then an observer in eastern Zhejiang. Although many of Yuan Zhen's subordinates can sing and dance well, no one knows about "Nishang", so they can't sing and dance, so they have to send a score reply. After Bai Juyi got the score, he was deeply moved, so he wrote the poem Yi Yu Ge and Yuan Zhen. In his poem, Bai Juyi gave a detailed description of the structure and dance of the music, and said that "Yang Sheng composes music". He also noted: "At the beginning of Kaiyuan, Yang Zuo was in the west." Wei Zhi, the Song of Nishang Feather.
