Singer: Han Guqin Music
Playing musical instrument: guzheng
Brief introduction of high mountains and flowing water;
"Mountain and Running Water" was originally a song before the Tang Dynasty, but it was divided into two songs in the Tang Dynasty, both of which were not segmented. With the development of Qin's performing arts since Ming and Qing Dynasties, "mountain" and "water" have undergone great changes.
The music score of "Mountain Flowing Water" was first seen in Zhu Quan's "Magic Secret Music" in Ming Dynasty.
Included in "Taikoo Shenpin", its interpretation is: "There are two mountains and running water, only one. The first ambition is to care about mountains and rivers, saying that benevolent people are Leshan. The ambition of the future is to care about running water, which means that the wise are happy with water. The Tang dynasty is divided into two songs, regardless of section. The highest mountain is divided into four sections and eight sections of flowing water. " The "mountain" is shorter, the "flowing water" is longer, and it is not segmented. It is probably the music score of the Tang Dynasty, and the fingering does have traces of the late Tang Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty.
Among the numerous music scores since Ming and Qing Dynasties, Running Water, which was adapted by Zhang Kongshan, a pianist of Sichuan School, was included in Tian Wen Song Score (1876) compiled by Tang Dynasty in Qing Dynasty. The sixth paragraph of the technique of "rolling, brushing, dialing and noting", also known as "seventy-two rolling and brushing water", is widely used because of its vivid image and blending of scenes. According to the research of Qin family, before the publication of Tian Wenqin's Song Score, there was no sixth paragraph played by Zhang Kongshan in all Qin Scores, and the whole song had only eight paragraphs, which was consistent with the solution of the Magic Handbook. However, the biography of Zhang Kongshan was increased to nine paragraphs, and then the Qin family followed suit. Hou, a modern pianist, made a name for himself in Guqin by kneading two pieces of Mountain and Running Water from Piano Music of Tianwenge into one song.
