Answer: Three times.
The first time I played it was in the first part: "I saw off guests on the Xunyang River on the first night, and the maple leaves and flowers rustled in autumn. The host dismounted and the passengers were on the boat. He raised his wine and wanted to drink without the orchestra. He was too drunk to say goodbye happily, When we were leaving, the vast river was soaked in the moon. I suddenly heard the sound of pipa playing on the water, and the host forgot to return home."
The first part is the introduction to the whole poem, which tells the time, the bleak autumn night, and the place. In Yangjiangtou, I explained the background and said goodbye to my friends. Since ancient times, I have been sentimental and sad about parting. In addition, there is no orchestra, which makes it even more lonely and desolate. The first two sentences are about seeing off guests at the head of the river. It is an autumn night, the maple leaves are like red, the flowers are white, and the wind is rustling, which creates a sad atmosphere of melancholy and farewell. The word "miserable" points out the infinite desolation of parting, and the loneliness and melancholy of the scenery blend with the sentimentality of the owner. The use of "suddenly heard" in the last two sentences creates a strong change in tone. No one heard the sound of the pipa first, and the sound of the pipa coming from the water broke the loneliness, depression and desolation. The artistic charm of the pipa sound is highlighted and hidden with the phrase "the host forgets to return and the guest does not return".
Playing for the second time in the second part, the pipa girl appeared: "Looking for the sound and secretly asking who is playing it? The sound of the pipa stopped and I was too late to speak. Move the boat closer to invite us to meet, add wine, turn on the lights and turn them on again. Banquet. He came out after calling for a long time, still holding the pipa half-hiding his face. "Looking for the sound and asking secretly" describes the poet's curious and eager mentality at that time. "The sound of the pipa stopped" indicates that the pipa girl has heard the visitor's inquiry. , "It's too late to speak" and the following "I have been calling for a long time, but I still hold the pipa half-hiding my face." It shows the complex psychology of the Pipa girl's inner hesitation: her life experience is ups and downs, she has fallen to the end of the world, and the past is like smoke, all of which make her unwilling Show your face again. However, the poet "moves the boat closer to invite us to meet". The poet's hospitality is difficult to refuse, and the Pipa Girl finally decides to appear. The description of the pipa girl here brings a lot of suspense to the development of the subsequent story.
The third time I played it was in the fifth part: "I have been standing for a long time feeling these words, but sitting down makes the strings turn sharply. It is so sad that it is not like the forward sound, and everyone in the seat is crying after hearing it again. Who cried the most? Jiangzhou Sima's green shirt was wet. "The poet's words in turn touched the heartstrings of the pipa girl. When she played the pipa again in sympathy with the same illness, her emotions became more intense, "It's sad but not like moving forward. "The sound of the pipa became even more sad and touching, which made the poet unable to bear it any longer, so tears flowed down his face and his blue shirt was soaked.
