Guangling San, a piece of music played on the piano

A piece of music called "Guangling San" played on the qin

"On the seven strings of Lingling, listen quietly to the cold wind of the pines.

Although the ancient tunes are self-loving, many people nowadays don't play them."< /p>

"The Shu monk hugged the green silk and went west to Mount Emei. He waved his hand for me, and it was like listening to the pine trees in thousands of valleys. The guest's heart was washed by the running water, and the remaining sound was the frost bell. Unconsciously, the blue mountains were dusk, and the autumn clouds were darker. Heavy."

I was invited to participate in the "Canal Charm, Guangling Legacy" Jianghuai Qin Players Concert, and it was very exciting to listen to the music. My understanding of the guqin is limited to ancient poetry. Today, I am sitting at the stage listening to people playing music and enjoying the ancient style and charm. I feel relaxed and happy, as if the mountains and flowing water are far away in the world and close at hand. Historically, both the guqin player and the listener have enjoyed the artistic conception of loneliness. In the player's mind, the music played by the guqin's fingers is an inner portrayal of a lonely state. People are lonely, and their hearts are lonely. Looking back on the past, I remember that every step I took was so lonely. But the saddest time is to play a song to give yourself. When the song ends, you only see the performer turning around in silence, calmly and calmly, but not the listener leaving in a hurry. At the end of the song, everyone disperses, and everything is over. No one can understand the sadness and loneliness in the performer's heart, let alone the pain and scars he endures in his heart. He can only sort out his own scars, sort out the wounds for himself, and face reality with a quiet heart.

In Guqin music, because the way it is played is single, the style of the music is also lonely. "I look for a bosom friend in the mountains and flowing water. If my bosom friend is not there, who can listen to me? The sound of the fish's tail breaks in the setting sun, and there is no harp in the world." The harp is in the hand, the music is in the heart, and between the fingers, it is like the mountains and flowing water, letting the emotions vent. The music is high and low, and the listener can listen to it. Sometimes it rises and sometimes it is quiet. Listening to the gurgling water, hearing the autumn wind blowing on your face, enjoying the people's houses on the small bridge, and watching the changes in the world. In the player's heart, even though there are thousands of troops and turbulent waves outside, he can't stop the beautiful melody at the snap of his fingers. Everything is just a passing cloud. Only in this lonely state can we be calm and composed. People are like harps, harps are like water, and water is like duckweed. All the bosom friends are only yourself and the scenery around you. Loneliness is a state and a kind of enjoyment, but many people do not live like the ancients and realize the meaning of living. In today's society where things are everywhere, who else can calm down and play a piece of music, and who can listen attentively? In the blink of an eye, all the glitz in the world has turned into clouds and dust, and all the joys and sorrows in the world have ended. I am obsessed with the mountains, rivers and countryside, talking to the mountains and rivers, singing with the countryside, turning into a long dream that has been lingering for a long time, but where is the music of the performer? Destination? When is the bomber's return date? He doesn't know, and neither do I.

Autumn water lasts forever, Gone with the Wind, the players all yearn for a close friend, no troubles in troubled times, no love, hate, love and hatred, separation of life and death, just guarding one person in the cycle of sunrise and sunset and the silence. People and a piano are enough. This is the true pastoral life.

The listener is lonely, and only when a lonely person meets a lonely person can he truly be moved by his emotions and feelings. The emotion is so deep that the listener will be moved to tears. Both the performer and the listener are immersed in their own world and artistic conception. When the song is over, people are quiet, everything becomes silent. Silence is the solo dance of the soul, and any language becomes redundant. The real silence is the perfect harmony of being soundless, colorless and invisible. Music is like water in the palm of your hand. No matter how tightly you hold it, some people are destined to pass away from your memory. Only those who understand you will wait for you, listen to you, listen to the loneliness and loneliness deep in your heart, and be with you. **Share the silence and loneliness that belongs to each other. The sun rises and sets, the flowers wither and bloom, the things we meet, the things we leave, the things we remember, and the things we forget all disappear in the cold spring season. Some people are lonely, but they haven't found another person yet, while some people are lonely, but they still can't forget the other person. In the broken emotions, they only hold on to a love and persistence to give themselves emotional comfort. Ji, thinking about a relationship, caring about a person, keep this longing and concern in your fingers, and perform it like flowing clouds and flowing water. This world belongs to the player and the listener. If the breeze has feelings, then the bright moon can learn from it. What cannot be erased is the lingering loneliness, what cannot be untied is the curling front edge, what cannot be cut off is the entangled thoughts, what cannot be turned away is the flowing and passing away. fleeting time.

"Who spreads Guangling San, but weeps for Mangshan bones. In that period of time in Quanhu, Chang swept the solitary rabbit's den." The thousand-year-old song "Guangling San" came on the stage, and in the sad music, I I am reminded of my fellow villager Ji Kang of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Ji Kang, courtesy name Shuye, was a thinker, musician, and writer in the Cao and Wei Dynasties during the Three Kingdoms period. Later, he lived in seclusion and refused to be an official. Because he offended Zhong Hui and was framed by him, he was executed by Sima Zhao. Before his execution, he played "Guangling San", which became famous throughout the ages.

In "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove", Ji Kang lives aloof and has a breeze on his sleeves. He was nine feet long and had an outstanding appearance. He often walked around the mountains and fields. Everyone who saw him called him "the immortal of the mountains and fields", which shows Ji Kang's extraordinary temperament. Ji Kang was a wild and unruly man, and he did not want to associate with the secular world. Compared with his official career, he preferred the freedom of the moment. "In the morning, he cleans up the filth, and returns with the moon to hoe" may be his ideal life state. He has always lived a quiet life, as if isolated from the world. For him, such days are dull and stable. He has been famous since he was a child. He is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and poetry, and is proficient in piano art. Ji Kang also had another hobby. He especially loved blacksmithing. He set up a small iron shop in the backyard and went there whenever he had free time.

Although he lived deep in the mountains and forests, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, he had many visitors every day. Ji Kang did not like to be disturbed and often turned a blind eye to the visitors. Whenever visitors come to visit him, he also looks like a blacksmith. Some people say that Ji Kang didn't like bathing, was free and arrogant. Ji Kang had profound attainments in health preservation and had the best appearance. He should have the image of a handsome man. It would be a bit far-fetched to associate him with a lazy and lazy man, and it really does not fit the world's idea of ??an "immortal". wind. Speaking of Ji Kang, we have to mention his "Guangling San". "Guangling San" is one of the top ten famous songs in ancient China. It is famous for its ups and downs killing atmosphere. The prelude is clear and orderly, and the middle transitions and transitions express the His sense of resistance is fearless in the face of danger. However, the original author of "Guangling San" is not Ji Kang. It is said that Ji Kang could not sleep at night, so he got up and played the piano to relieve his boredom. The sound of the piano was like the breeze, which attracted a ghost. Seeing the wind of his immortal bones, he passed on this song "Guangling San" Powder", and also warned that it should not be passed on to future generations, which is derived from this.

Ji Kang was a loyal and kind man who valued friendship and loyalty. But he has his own code of conduct when dealing with things. As long as he crosses his bottom line, he will no longer be regarded as a confidant. Shan Tao, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, wanted to retire to the mountains and forests, so he recommended Ji Kang to serve as an official to replace his official position. Ji Kang hated the intrigues in the officialdom. Ji Kang decisively wrote a letter breaking off relations with Shan Tao. It can be seen that Ji Kang's way of doing things. Ji Kang was later sentenced to death by Sima Zhao for standing up for a friend. When he went to the execution ground, Ji Kang remained calm and composed. Three thousand imperial students knelt down and begged for mercy. The scene was so majestic that it once embarrassed Sima Zhao. Ji Kang was so famous that This also made Sima Zhao even more intolerable to him. Ji Kang was still as calm as ever. He asked someone to bring the piano that he loved all his life, and gently stroked the strings. He played "Guangling San", which amazed everyone. After playing it, they still felt soul-stirring and melodious. Everyone lamented, Ji Kang said : "In the past, Yuan Wei said that he would study "Guangling San" with me, but I was always jealous. Now it seems that it will be lost." After saying this, he died generously. So why is "Guangling San" still circulating in the world today? Some people say that Ji Kang mentioned Yuan Wei and wrote it because Ji Kang was unwilling to teach and stole the skills from his teacher. However, the beat is incomplete; some also say that the style of his "Guangling San" is similar to that of "Nie Zheng Ci". The song "King of Han" is no different. Some people say that it was compiled by the ancients based on the left handwriting. However, we have to admit the beauty of "Guangling San". The so-called "This song should only exist in heaven, how many can be found in the world" Looking back. "

I visited Ji Kang's tomb in Linhuan more than 20 years ago, but I couldn't find it the last few times I went there. When I asked the locals, they didn't even know who Ji Kang was. It's really speechless. Ji Kang will always occupy a very important position in my heart. As a literati of that era, his integrity and character are not possessed by modern literati, so I admire him.

The players on the stage finished with the melody of "Guangling San", and the music ended with endless aftertaste. Although Ji Kang is gone, "Guangling San" is still there, and the player is still there, The listeners are still there and it will be passed down from generation to generation. This is the spirit and pride of our nation.
