Confucian classics, such as The Analects of Confucius, record many Confucius' thoughts about music and his stories about music practice. Taking Tao as the goal, relying on morality, relying on benevolence and taking art as a tour are Confucius' life ideals and norms (The Analects of Confucius). It can be said that it is the only way for a gentleman to realize this ideal realm of life. Based on this proposition, Confucius loved rites, philharmonic, poetry and books all his life, and wrote the Six Classics, which not only achieved his life, but also educated his disciples. At the same time, he hoped to gain the king's understanding, educate the people and realize the ideal society.
Historical Records of Confucius' Family records the story that Confucius edited the Book of Songs and made it into A Qin Song: more than 3,000 ancient poems were written by Confucius, with stress removed, ceremony applied and postscript adopted. It is said that the prosperity of Yin and Zhou dynasties began with restlessness, so the chaos of officials and Luo was called "wind". The 350 "Confucius" are all string songs, in order to combine the voices of Shao, Wu, Ya and Song. Rites and music can be described from now on, preparing for the king and becoming the six arts. Confucius' ambition is to educate the people and advocate kingliness through the education of rites and music that complement each other with poetry, rites and music.
Confucius advocated and promoted the Confucian culture of rites and music. He himself was a great musician, music educator, composer and pianist. According to "Huai Nan Zi Zhu Shu Xun", Confucius learned the piano from a teacher, from counting to getting what he meant, and from being able to understand the piano skillfully, which is a model in the history of piano.
Confucius not only learned the piano, but also composed many piano music. According to Sima Qian's Historical Records, Cai Yong's Cao Qin and other reliable historical records, Confucius created (called You), Cao (also known as Cao), Gui and Huo Lin.
First, "Cao Lan": You Lan Ying Xiang is king.
Cao Lan is the most famous Qin Song (mostly Qin Ge) created by Confucius. It is the expression of Confucius' mind and sentiment, so it has been passed down through the ages and is loved by literati. In Cai Yong's "Cao Qin" in Han Dynasty, several pieces of piano music said to be written for Confucius were explained in detail. About Qin, Cao Lan said this:
The author of Cao Lan is also Confucius. Confucius hired vassals, but vassals could not be appointed. Self-defense against Lu, crossing the hidden valley, seeing Mao, sighed: Fu Lan should be Wang Zhixiang, and now he interacts with the grass alone, which is not timely and is also a husband. It is the cloud that stops the car and helps the piano drum: learn from the wind of the valley and use yin to rain. My sister married in the country today. It's heaven, not its place. Happiness will be a state, with no fixed place. The world is cold, and I don't know sages. As you get older, you will get older. Self-injury is not timely, the excuse is.
Confucius, who was ambitious and full of ambition, led his disciples around the world for fourteen years in his later years, but he never met the king of Bole. Even when Chen and Cai were caught in the crossfire, he still chanted string songs. In his later years, Confucius still worked tirelessly to study the theory of Qin. On my way back to Shandong for self-defense, I saw orchids and weeds growing together in the valley, just like a gentleman in troubled times, with beautiful morality and talent, but born at an inopportune time. I sighed in my heart, stopped to pick up my piano and sang Cao Lan. Therefore, this exercise can be said to be the expression of Confucius' mood for many years, and it is also the heart song of those depressed intellectuals in feudal times. After Confucius became a saint, he was respected by the rulers of later generations, and this piano piece was also valued, which became the basis of a virtuous monarch and a virtuous corporal. Such as Li Shimin and Shangguan Yi, the sages of the early Tang Dynasty, took this as their purpose to praise Lan Shuzhi. Li Shimin's poem "Fang Lan" says: Zi Yuan is in spring, and Melanie is beautiful in the scenery. The pavilion is light in color, concise and fluttering. The sun shines on the uneven shadow, and the wind is heavy and fragrant. Meeting needs a gentleman's discount, Perry Xiang. Shangguan Yi's "False Poems of the Orchid" says: Although the sun and the moon do not shine, the fragrance should be rich. Resentment leads to seclusion, but no cause drives the wind. Both the monarch and the minister are deeply touched by the resentment of the gentleman in You Lan. For another example, Volume 59 of Records of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty (October, the fourth year of Xuande) was published and engraved by the imperial government, and was given to the minister. Confucius returned to his hometown of Shandong in self-defense, lived in seclusion in the valley, met Lan Zhimao, interacted with grass, and hurt himself out of place, so he was entrusted with this exercise. I am worried about whether there are outstanding sages in the wild, so I plan to make them. Its word says: Lan was born in the valley, leaves are fragrant, saints are in the wild, and their way is bright. Orchids are lush and the grass is harmonious. You should help a saint. He also said: Recommending sages for the country is the way to be a minister. You and others should be nice to me.
Today this song is mostly divided into 1 1 paragraphs. The Ming Dynasty's Taigu Legacy, Xilutang Qintong, Yang's Rebuilding the True Story of the Piano Score and Zhang's Elegance have different subtitles and lyrics. Most of the original lyrics of Confucius were recorded in historical materials, and later they were supplemented by later generations. Taking the reconstruction of the True Biography of Qin Le as an example, * * * is divided into 1 1 segments: Nine Fragrances, Dry Kunxiu, National Fragrance, Numerous Grass and Five Willow, Deep Forest, Deep Valley Tengfang, Xie Ting Merchants, Chu Xiang Spirit, Metaphoring People with Things, Playing Notes and Philosophers' Practice. This shows that this song is elegant and unique. Although Confucius joined the world all his life to help the world, the moral character of Youlan praised by Cao Yu in Lan Ci is detached and refined.
Second, Guicao and Guishan Guicao: Born to Guishan.
Different from the personal ambition expressed in Cao Lan Cao, other Qin Ge and Qin Yue were written by Confucius, who is sensitive to current events and harmful to politics. They are full of the spirit of Confucian mission of saving the world, but also imply the rich world of Confucian moderation and benevolence. Such as Guangxi, Guangxi and Cai Yong, are also recorded in detail. Look at "Will Return to Fuck" first:
The author of Return to Cao Cao was made by Confucius. Zhao Jianzi followed Jade and Silk to hire Confucius. Confucius would drop a drop of water before he arrived. When he heard that Zhao had killed his sage doctor Dou, he sighed with shame and said: Fu Zhao ruled because the calf was strong. Kill calves and hire more than, why beg Qiu? If the husband burns the forest and goes to the field, the unicorn will not come; When the nest is broken, Emperor Feng won't fly. Birds and beasts are still evil and hurt people, but what about gentlemen? So the drum cloud used the piano: soaring in Wei and returning to his hometown; As far as I like it, it's just fun.
From the story told in Returning to Cao, we can see the other side of Confucius' personality, that is, when he didn't meet the real monarch in his mind, he would rather take what I want and enjoy it, instead of throwing eggs at stones, and just barely realized his grand ideal of governing the country and ensuring peace. The poem written by Han Yu for "Returning to Cao Cao" just sang the praises of Confucius' virtue: Zhao of Confucius died when he heard of the killing. When Zhao killed the calf, Confucius approached the river and sighed and said, "The autumn water is surging, and the wind blows the boat down. Add it up and it belongs to Hu Weisi." Autumn water is faint; I will help you, but I can't. Involved in its shallowness, the stone bit my foot; Take advantage of its depth, the dragon enters my ship. I regret it. I'll pay you back. Back in Xi, there was no struggle with stones, and there was no Ying Long. Cai Yong sighs and Han Yu sighs. The key is this word, which depicts the sadness and helplessness of Confucius. Born in troubled times, he is knowledgeable and ambitious. Seeing a talented person die, he lamented his own life, and could only ease his inner sadness through string songs. We know that ancient and modern Qin music can be mainly divided into four categories: fluency, manipulation, introduction and manipulation. Huan Tan's "A New Theory of Qindao" summarizes the characteristics of these kinds of Qin music, especially the most common achievement handed down from generation to generation: when a husband meets a different situation, he is poor but does not lose his achievement, so he is called Cao. Fuck, use the voice of geese. Achieving is beneficial to the world and everything goes smoothly, so it is called smooth. Yao Chang's classics don't exist. The author of Shun Cao, once a sage of Yu Shun, was promoted to the Emperor. He is ashamed of his relatives, and his position as a god is in jeopardy. He assisted the piano to do exercises, and his voice was crisp and subtle. The screenwriter of Yu Cao was Xia Zhishi in those days. The water was full of fragrance, and Yu Naiyuan played the piano. His voice was clear and gurgling, and he was interested in deep rivers. In "Cabbage Cao", Wei Zi will die of a bruise, but there is nothing he can do. When he saw the swan flying high, he helped the piano to do exercises, and his voice was clear and pure. Wang Wen, Cao Zhi, is a literary giant, with no way, rotten gold as the normal state, overflowing wine as the pool, people in the palace eating people, flesh and blood turning into mud, Yao Tai in the room, clouds soaring into the sky, bells thundering, heaven and earth shaking violently, bowing to the statutes, Yin as righteousness, and Qin as auxiliary-fuck. Therefore, his voice was disturbed. Wave and Ji Zi Cao are both pure and exciting. It can be seen that Cao Cao's piano music is a kind of sad and tragic piano music from the beginning. All piano music related to Confucius is exercises, which just shows Confucius' character of independence without losing exercises.
Cao recorded in Historical Records Confucius Family is another name for ghost Cao. Confucius Family first shows that the city is the hometown of Confucius, and Confucius was born in Changping Township, Lu, and then wrote:
Confucius, who is not allowed to defend himself, will see Zhao Jianzi in the west. As for the river, I heard the death of Dou and Shun Hua, and I sighed by the river: The water is so beautiful and magnificent! If the hill is not good for this, life is also and while one man guards it! Zigong rushed forward and said, dare you ask what it is? Confucius said: Dou and Shun Hua are doctors in the State of Jin. When Zhao Jianzi didn't succeed, the two men had to enter politics; And he has achieved success, and it is politics that kills it. Qiu Wen also said that when the unicorn is stillborn, it will not reach the suburbs, and the dragons will not be in harmony with Yin and Yang, and the phoenix emperor will not fly when the nest is destroyed. What is this? A gentleman dare not hurt his kind. I still know my husband, birds and animals are unjust, but the situation is high! However, I still feel sorry for my hometown, and I mourn that it is "Cao Cao". Instead of looking for Wei, he went to his home.
Wang Ling, a talented and short-lived poet in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a piano song "Cao Cao": I am going for the world and will not return to my hometown. When people give up my follow-up, I feel at ease with others. I used to hear Xi, but what I saw today was not. What is enough if you are human? There is nothing in the world, and I don't want to go here with anyone. Faith is also a life-threatening husband, but it is doubtful. The tomb has never been an official, but a professor and an apprentice. He traveled to Guazhou, Tianchang, Gaoyou, Runzhou, Jiangyin and other places. Although he died at the age of 28, he left behind 30 volumes of Guangling Collection (including more than 500 poems in volume 18). He lamented that Confucius would return to his hometown if he failed to achieve his goal. People give up me and follow me, and I am willing to follow others. He is also a person who knows how to play piano. There is a short rhyme in the poem "Chun Xue has a feeling of Wang Zhengshu and Liang Hui" attached to the piano. In addition, he also has Two Songs of Qin. When he said that the ancient style was sparse, he often thought of the profound South Wind. It is said that the five strings are not broken, and I want to borrow someone's piano, not just to chat, but also to pursue the ancient style. My people don't know what to do, and they dare not play South Wind. The love for Qin and dissatisfaction with current politics in the poem also coincide with Cao Cao's meaning. Therefore, "The Return of the Native" is a piano piece loved by intellectuals who have never met since Confucius.
Look at "Kameyama Fuck", Cai Yong wrote:
"Turtle Mountain Exercise" was written by Confucius. Qi people feed women's music, Ji receives it, and Lu Jun refuses to listen to the DPRK behind closed doors. At this time, there were dictators, tyrants, doctors, saints and villains. Confucius wanted to remonstrate and retired to Lu, who was sheltered by Guishan. Bi Jishi is in Guishan and supported in Fogg. Dictatorship is like a turtle covering Lu. The way to hurt the government, the people are not happy. They want to punish Ji's family, but they can't. So, I sang a song with the help of the piano: I want to be Lu Xi and Guishan cover. What is Kameyama without an axe in his hand?
The story of "Turtle Mountain Fuck" shows that Confucius, as a caring gentleman, had an attitude towards tyranny at that time, which hurt the political way. The people were not in place, and he wanted to punish Ji, but he couldn't. Under such circumstances, he can only use piano music to dispel his grievances. This exercise tells the story of the fourteenth year of Lu (496 BC), when Confucius was the chief scout of Lu. At that time, Confucius was 56 years old and in his prime, which was one of the rare successful periods in his life. Therefore, he is very worried about Qi. The King of Qi sent 80 beautiful women to Lu Jun, who indulged in debauchery and women's music, which led to the dictatorship of Ji, the emperor and tyrant, the doctor on the shore, and the sage. Confucius was deeply worried about this and could not convince him. He just looked at Kameyama singing and sighed sadly: I gave my desire to Lu, and Kameyama sheltered it. What is Kameyama without an axe in his hand? For his old country, Confucius was full of love, hoping that he could help the king make it prosperous. He also suffered setbacks, which made him even sadder than hitting a wall in other countries. Han Yu's lyrics for this exercise are also full of this kind of anxiety and anger: the turtle's atmosphere is embarrassing and it is impossible to have sex. A turtle's worry missed the beams and columns. Eight kings, only choose Lu. I know I will be embarrassed, and I will mourn for more than five people. Duke Zhou is haunted, and the rest are supplemented. In the Song Dynasty, Cao Xun also wrote a poem "Turtle Mountain Exercise": Turtle Mountain blooms, and the rest of the trip is delayed. Turtles are like turtles, Lu Yizhi. The gangsters are in danger and they are unwilling to help. I'm sad because of my trip. As a senior official who came from the same Jinshi and knew Qin, Cao Xun's understanding of Confucius also showed his true feelings.
