It is said that Boya, a pianist in the pre-Qin period, once played the piano on a barren land, but what Zhong Zi, a woodcutter, can understand is that this is a description of "lofty sentiments in the mountains" and "magnificent flowing water". Boya exclaimed, "Well, the child's heart is the same as mine. After the death of chef Hippo, Boya lost her bosom friend, broke the piano and never played it for life, so there was a song of high mountains and flowing water.
"Mountains and Rivers" was first written by Liezi Tang Wen. It is said that Yu Boya is good at playing drums and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening to music. Yu Boya said, Zhong Ziqi will understand. Yu Boya drummed on the mountain, and Zhong Ziqi said, "Good on drums, great on Mount Tai", but his ambition was running water. Zhong Ziqi also said, "Fortunately, on the drum, the soup is on the running water." Zhong Ziqi died, Yu Boya broke the piano and never played drums again, thinking that the world was not enough to be a drummer. Later, I used "high mountains and flowing water" as a metaphor for a bosom friend or confidant.
The music lingers between the beams.
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a Korean singer named Han E, who was famous all over the country. One year, South Korea suddenly launched a storm, floods burst its banks, huge waves soared into the sky, destroyed villages and houses, and people fled everywhere. Han E survived with the help of the villagers and went to Qi. I ran out of money on the way and had to make a living by singing. She sang all the way, and her voice was beautiful and moving, which was the peak. When she left, everyone still thought she was around, and the song was still hovering between the beams for a long time. Therefore, the idiom "reverberation around the beam for three days" comes from this.
When Han E came to Yong Men, Qi, it was already dark. Hunger and fatigue tortured her, so she went to the inn and prepared to stay. Who knows that as soon as I stepped into the store door, I was pushed out by the owner. At this time, Han E deeply felt the sufferings of fellow villagers and his humiliation in front of him, and turned his passion into the saddest song in the world. This song floated in all directions of Yong Men. For a while, the mountain wind stopped whistling, the rivers stopped flowing, pedestrians stopped walking, and the earth trembled with tears. As a result, after Han E left, men, women and children in Yong Men still sank into the sea of misery, unable to eat during the day and unable to sleep at night, every day. So people elected a young man as a representative, urged Ma Yangbian to catch up with Han E, and begged her to return to Yong Men. On the way, people greeted each other warmly. Han E felt the affection of the people as family members, turned grief into joy, and sang a joyful song, which immediately spread to thousands of households. So everyone's melancholy dissipated, and they sang and danced, turning Yong Men into a sea of joy.
Farewell song
Three Stacks at Yangguan is a famous piano piece in Tang Dynasty. It is based on Wang Weishi's "Two Ambassadors Anxi": "The acropolis is drizzling, and the guest house is light and new; Advise you to drink one more glass of wine. There is no reason to go out to Yangguan in the west. " Because there are two place names "Yangguan" and "Yucheng" in the poem, it is also called "Yangguanqu", and "Yangguan" has become synonymous with sending friends to sing. Triple refers to three paragraphs of the whole song, which is basically a tone sandhi repeated three times.
"Three Stories of Yangguan" spread to later generations, with various music scores and singing methods, including three in the Song Dynasty alone. Su Shi once said that he had heard two of them. There are more than 30 kinds of piano scores in Three Stacks in Yangguan, which are different in form and structure, but similar in tune. The tune of the whole song is simple and full of passion, slightly melancholy, and ends with repeated homophones, which strengthens the emotional parting and the concern for friends who travel far away, and is in line with the theme of the poem.
Pretend to be a member of the ensemble ― just make up the numbers.
In ancient times, Qi Xuanwang, the monarch of the State of Qi, loved music, especially listening to the flute. He has 300 musicians who are good at playing the flute. Qi Xuanwang likes to be lively and ostentatious, and always wants to show the majesty of the monarch in front of people, so every time he listens to the flute, he always asks the 300 people to play for him.
A Southland gentleman heard about Qi Xuanwang's hobby and thought it was a good opportunity to make money. He ran to Qi Xuanwang and boasted, "Your Majesty, I am a famous musician. No one who has heard me play the flute is unmoved. Even birds and animals can dance and flowers will tremble with the beat. I would like to dedicate my stunt to your majesty. " Qi Xuanwang listened happily, accepted him happily without investigation, and put him in the blowing team of 300 people.
After that, Mr. Nan Guo took the 300 people to Qi Xuanwang to play an ensemble, enjoying the same generous treatment as others, and he was extremely proud.
In fact, Mr. Nanguo told a big lie, and he couldn't blow it out at all. Every time I play ball, Mr. Nan Guo is mixed in the team with a shovel in his hand. He shakes his body when people shake it. Others shook their heads, and he shook his head. His face pretended to be emotional and forgot me. He seems to be as devoted as others, and really can't see any flaws. In this way, Mr. Nanguo cheated day after day and got a salary for nothing.
But it didn't last long. A few years later, Qi Xuanwang, who loved ensemble, died, and his son Min succeeded to the throne. King Qi Min also likes to play the flute, but unlike Qi Xuanwang, he thinks it's too noisy for 300 people to play together, so it's better to play solo. So King Qi Min issued an order to these 300 people to practice hard and get ready. He would let these 300 people play one by one in turn for him to enjoy. When the musicians know the order, they all practice actively and want to show their skills. Only Mr. Nan Guo, who has just made up a few words, is as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't go on this time, so he had to pack up and run away overnight.
An ignorant man like Mr. Nan Guo who lives by cheating can cheat for a while, but not for a lifetime. What is false is false, and eventually it can't escape the test of practice and is exposed and disguised. The only way for us to succeed is to study hard. Only by practicing a perfect real skill can we stand all tests.
Chun Xue-Elegant Art and Literature
The allusion of Yangchun Baixue comes from Song Yu's answer to the king of Chu in Chu Ci. King Xiang of Chu asked Song Yu if there were any hidden virtues in Mr. Chu. Why don't people praise you so much? Song Yu said that there were singers in Chu State, and the earliest one was "Xialiba People", and there were thousands of peacemakers in Qian Qian. When the singer sang Yang A Xielu, there were only a few hundred middle school peacemakers. When the singer sang "Spring Snow", there were only dozens of middle school students and peacemakers. There were only three people in the Intermediate People's Court when some difficult skills were added in the Song Dynasty, that is, "attracting business and carving feathers, and miscellaneous to levy". Song Yu's conclusion is, "it's its high and low." The more elegant and complicated the song "Chun Xue" is, fewer and fewer people can sing it, that is, the songs are sung in high voices.
Songs of the rural poor
The Xialiba people, who spread at the junction of Bachu and Chu during the Warring States Period, should be the historical continuation and natural evolution of Ba people's music songs during Zhou Wuwang's conquest. The record of Xialiba people began with Song Yu's "Ask the King of Chu": "The guests who sang in the song began with Ba people, and there were thousands of people who belonged to the country, including Yang A and Xie Lu, and there were hundreds of people who belonged to the country; It is Yangchun and Snow White, and only a few dozen people belong to the middle school. "
The story of the idiom "Xialiba people" circulated in China tells that during the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, guests from the State of Chu sang Ba people's songs, and "Xialiba people" and "harmony among thousands of people is precious". This can be said to be the earliest and most famous "pop song" recorded in history. The Ba tribe takes the white tiger as the totem, and the tribal leader Lin Jun (the legend is the incarnation of the white tiger) is the ancestor. It is brave and good at singing and dancing. More than 0/0,000 years ago BC, the King of Wu conquered and formed an alliance with 800 princes, among which "Ba Shi was brave and sharp, and his songs and dances moved the Yin people".
The outstanding cultural heritage of the Chinese nation is partly preserved in ancient books, partly buried underground and partly spread among the people. The reason why folk literature and art are handed down from generation to generation is that it can avoid the robbery of "burning books" and the difficulty of "literary prison" through oral inheritance from generation to generation. "Xialiba people" is an original music song that spread between Ba and Chu people during the Warring States period and was handed down by the ancients. Ba people are a nation with a long history, which can be traced back to the Yu Xia era.
Song Yu divided the songs sung in the State of Chu at that time (the king of Chu was the king of Chu Xiang, whose time was in the 3rd century BC) into three categories: one was "Xialiba people", which was equivalent to modern pop songs; The second kind of "Yang A" and "Autumn Dew" is popular; Three kinds of Yangchun and Snow White are all songs of songs.
Later, it generally refers to popular literature and art, such as:
Tan and Lou are pure Confucian scholars, so they have to move to the lower classes. -Qing Lvyuan Li's Qi Lu Deng
to cast pearls before swine
During the Warring States Period, there was a musician named Gong, who could compose and play. He plays the lyre very well and plays wonderful music. Many people like to listen to him play the piano and people respect him very much.
Gong not only plays the piano indoors, but also likes to take the piano to the countryside when the weather is good. One day, he came to the suburbs, the spring breeze blew slowly, the weeping willows swayed gently, and a yellow cow was grazing on the grass. Gong was in a good mood. He played the piano and plucked the strings, and played the most elegant music for this cow-Clear Corner Exercise. The cows were indifferent there and still bowed their heads and ate grass.
Gong thought this piece of music might be too elegant, so he changed the tune and played a little song. The ox still didn't respond and continued to graze leisurely.
Gong Yiming took out all his skills and played the best music. This time, the cow occasionally wagged its tail, chased the gadfly, and still bowed its head and ate grass silently.
Finally, the cow left slowly. Go and eat grass somewhere else.
The public is always indifferent when they see cows, and they are very disappointed. People said to him, "Don't be angry! It's not that the music you play is not good, it's that the music you play is not good for cattle ears! " Finally, Gong sighed and went back with her piano. It's really boring
Enjoy the rich food in bronze vessels accompanied by chimes-live a luxurious life.
Sima Qian's theory of being outstanding and rich in one side has extraordinary perseverance. Careful calculation and thrift are the right way to make money and get rich, so those who get rich will win by surprise. Agriculture is a heavy industry, and Qin Yang regards it as the richest man in a state. Digging a grave and robbing a tomb is a kind of criminal behavior, from which Shu Tian started and made his fortune. Gambling and gambling were originally an unlucky trip, but Huanfa made a fortune on it. Selling along the street is a cheap job for men, and Yongle is rich and expensive. Selling fat and cream is a shameful business, from which Yongbo made a fortune. Selling jelly is a small business, from which Zhang made millions of dollars. Sharpening a knife is a small skill, but a wise man makes a living by it. Selling sheep's stomachs and breasts is a trivial matter, and the turbid family takes it as a chariot and horse. Treating horses is a low-level medical skill, and Zhang Li used it to clock for dinner. They all became rich because of their dedication. The idiom "Zhong Ming Shi Ding" evolved from this allusion.
In ancient times, nobles of rich and powerful families played music, rang bells and used all kinds of precious food (ringing bells to eat) when eating. Therefore, "Zhong Ming Shi Ding" was used to describe the luxury and luxury of rich and powerful people, and in the old society, it was also used to describe the luxury and luxury of wealthy families. Han Zhang Heng's "Xijing Fu": "Hit Zhong Ding's food and ride it." Don Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting: "Yan Lu is on the ground, and Zhong Ming is the hometown of food."

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to take the east and west of the gorge (in present-day Rongxian County, Jia Luhe) as the boundary, and they did not invade each other. Later, Liu Bang followed the advice of Sean and Chen Ping, and thought that Xiang Yu should be destroyed when he was weak. Then he chased Xiang Yu's army with Han Xin, Peng Yue and Liu Jia, and chased Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu) eastward. Finally, several layers of troops were arranged to tightly surround Xiang Yu (in the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province). At this time, Xiang Yu's soldiers were few and there was no food. In the evening, when I heard the troops around him singing the folk songs of Chu, I couldn't help but be very surprised and say, "Did Liu Bang get Chu?" Why are there so many Chu people in his army? As he spoke, he got out of bed and drank in the camp, singing with his beloved concubine Yu. "。 After singing, I cried, and the people on the side were also very sad, and they all felt that they could not lift their heads. Yu Ji committed suicide in front of Xiang Yu's horse. Xiang Yu's hero died in battle, came to the Wujiang River with the only remaining soldiers, and finally committed suicide by the river.
Because there is a story in this story that Xiang Yu was surprised to hear the songs of Chu songs around him, and then failed to commit suicide, people later used "besieged on all sides" to describe the personnel environment where people were attacked or persecuted from all directions, resulting in an embarrassing situation of isolation and helplessness.
Voice of Zheng Wei: Zheng Wei refers to Zheng and Wei in the Spring and Autumn Period. Sound: refers to the folk music of Zheng, Wei and other countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Decadent music
Canon "Rites and Music": "I asked:' I wear a crown to listen to ancient music, and I am afraid of lying down; Listening to Zheng's voice is tireless. Dare I ask what ancient music is like? Why is Xinle like this?' "
Wei Wenhou asked Xia Zi: "I listen to ancient music, which is elegant and orthodox. I often worry that I will fall asleep because it sounds very tired;" Listening to (now Xinzheng) and music, tireless, although Zheng He's music is considered obscene. Why on earth is this? Is this the difference between ancient music and modern music, traditional music and pop music? "
Later, there were two different kinds of ritual optimism. Confucius advocated elegant music, so Zheng's voice has always been rejected, but it is loved by most people with strong vitality and is called pop music. Mi Li's writing style is also called "the voice of Zheng Wei".
