"Fishing Boat Sings Evening"

Music introduction

Zheng solo music was developed by Lou Shuhua based on the ancient song "Return". It is also said that it was developed by Jin Zhuonan based on the traditional Shandong zheng music "Double Banner" and "Double Banner". It was adapted from two evolved pieces of music, "Three Rings of Sun" and "Flowing Water and Rocks". In the 1930s, Jin Zhuonan passed this music to Lou Shuhua. When Lou Shuhua further adapted it, he made full use of the Zheng's "flower finger" technique in the second half of the music to make the musical conception more vivid and vivid, thus making this Zheng music be widely circulated. The first half of the now widely circulated Lou version is the same as the Jin version, while the second half is unique to Lou version. The music begins with a beautiful and elegant melody and a soothing rhythm, depicting a picture of the setting sun reflecting on the vast expanse of blue waves. Then, using 66 116 as the seed material, the music is descended layer by layer, making the music lively and interesting. When it changes and repeats again, it adopts the gyrations of the pentatonic scale, surrounding 3561 55 2356 33 and falling layer by layer. This melody is not only very stylistic, but also very beautiful and beautiful, and it really has the fun of "singing late". Finally, the melody that first ascends and then descends is combined into a loop, repeated many times, and the speed is gradually accelerated, showing the scene of the happy fishermen leisurely and contentedly, with pieces of white sail drifting with the current, and the fishing boat returning with a full load. This poetic and picturesque Zheng music has been adapted into Gaohu, Guzheng duets and violin solos. This song can be found in most music textbooks. In 2007, Erhu performer Guan Wei adapted the Erhu solo piece of the same name. Its structural processing further condenses the artistic conception of the work.

A more common theory is that the guqin player Lou Shuhua adapted it from the material of the Shandong ancient song "Return" in the mid-1930s. Another theory is that Shandong guqin master Jin Zhuonan adapted it from the traditional folk zheng music "Double Banner" spread in Liaocheng area of ??Shandong Province and its two evolved pieces "Three Rings Set the Sun" and "Flowing Water Stimulating Stones" in the 1930s. In the 1960s, Jin Zhuonan passed this music to Lou Shuhua. When Lou Shuhua further adapted it, he made full use of the "flower finger" technique of the zheng in the second half of the music, making the musical conception more vivid and vivid, thus making this zheng music widely circulated. . ?

The current score is selected from "Guzheng Playing Method" compiled by Cao Zheng and published by Music Publishing House in 1958.

This piece of music has been adapted into various performance forms. Li Guoquan once adapted it into a violin piece based on the zheng piece of the same name.

"Fishing Boat Sings Evening" is a famous guzheng song. It is generally believed that this song was adapted by Lou Shuhua in the mid-1930s based on the material of the ancient song "Returning to the Song". The title is taken from a famous line in Wang Bo's "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" of the Tang Dynasty - "The fishing boat sings late, ringing the sky and the shore of Pengli; the formation of wild geese frightens the cold, and the sound breaks the Hengyang Pudong".

Recent research has shown that this music was not originally created by Lou Shuhua, but was written by Jin Zhuonan based on the folk zheng music "Double Banner" spread in Linqing, Liaocheng area, Shandong Province, and its evolved music "Three Rings Tao Ri", " Adapted from "Flowing Water Stimulates Stone". In the 1930s, Jin Zhuonan taught this piece to Lou Shuhua. Lou Shuhua used the golden score as a blueprint, made a greater development and added the second half of the music. This version quickly spread throughout the country.
