Chapter Eighty-Four(1/2)
"Young Master, there are many folk music masters in Huayin.
Mr. Liu Dehai, Mr. Wang Zhongshan, Mr. Li Xiao and Mr. Zhang Weiliang... These are the first ones in China!
Do you have a goal and will ask any master for advice?”
Jiang Ping smiled and said:
"Only children make choices, adults certainly want them all!"
Looking at Li Kai's expression, "Are you thinking about eating?"
Jiang Ping laughed, then he thought for a while and said:
“If possible,
I want to visit the masters of guqin..."
If we say that the king of Western musical instruments is the first to recommend the piano!
Then among the classical Chinese musical instruments, the guqin has extremely special significance and lofty status.
The guqin, also known as Yaoqin, Yuqin, Silk Tong and Seven-stringed qin, ranks first among the four arts of Chinese traditional culture, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is regarded as a representative of elegance and is the most noble musical instrument in Chinese culture.
The guqin is the first of the eight sounds and is praised by literati throughout the ages.
"Among the eight sounds, only the string is the best, and the zither is the first."
Ji Kang, a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, said in his "Qin Fu" that "the zither is the best among all tools."
"A gentleman is close to the piano and zither, which is not a ritual, but a ritual." "A gentleman will not withdraw the piano and zither for no reason." The important position of the guqin in the minds of ancient Chinese literati has been elevated to the state of cultivating one's own self-cultivation and reflecting one's own thoughts, knowledge, personality and sentiment.
Using Jiang Ping's research and understanding of the system.
Any skill that improves his "cultivation" and "mood state" is more important than ordinary skills!
He had a vague premonition,
The "joy" in the six arts of gentlemen, wanting to be promoted to the master level...
First of all, we must upgrade the "guqin" to the master level!
Perhaps, with the tone of "keeping pace with the times" and "compatible" in the system... Xile's piano skills are also very likely to need to reach the master level.
However, the piano is Western music after all.
The real big guys are all abroad, and at home, Lang Lang is barely called "master" level. But by time, although his skills are genius, he lacks precipitation and has not yet achieved great success.
So, let’s get the guqin done first!
I heard Jiang Ping say this.
A hint of disgrace appeared on Li Kai's face:
"Uh..., Guqin..."
Only after Li Kai explained did Jiang Ping find out.
In terms of inheritance, the guqin is very different from other types of musical instrument teaching.
Since ancient times, Guqin has used subtractive characters to note the scores. There is no rhythm in the score. There can be ten thousand versions of 10,000 people playing it.
If no one tells you,
You may not know that the two songs with different styles and rhythms are used in the same score...
Therefore, the inheritance of the guqin requires a way to people!
This is what is called: the "genre" of guqin.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a period when the guqin was almost spread in China, which is also the reason.
Huayin's guqin major has been the "grandmaster" of guqin before it was split from Yangyin, and his son Professor Wu Wenguang later served as the head of the Department of Musicology.
The father and son inherited the tradition, and the mainstream is the "Yushan Wu School".
However, now Mr. Wu Wenguang is only a doctoral supervisor and a graduate student. He has basically been traveling around the world for a long time, focusing on making scores and promoting the guqin culture.
There are really no "master" guqin masters in the school now...
This is a coincidence!
Jiang Ping was not too depressed.
In fact, since he was in Taikoo Li in Sanlitun that day, he had a surprise glance at the "Lost Yan" and guessed that she was very likely studying in the Huayin Folk Music Department.
This time Jiang Ping came to Huayin, the main purpose of this change!
Musical instrument master skill, you can always use it...
"Falling geese" is the only one in the world!
She is a very important hidden mission target. If she missed it this time, wouldn’t it be a pity?
"It's okay, I'm in a hurry this time.
As long as you have the chance, no matter which gentleman you visit, you will be lucky.
As the saying goes, everything goes with the flow.”
Hearing Jiang Ping say this, Li Kai is happy:
"Okay, if you think so, this will be easier!"
Xu Ya next to her also smiled:
"He is curious and interested in everything!"
Jiang Ping was in a good mood and said casually:
"I am a playboy for a long time, I love prosperity very much, I love the sacrificial house, I am beautiful maid, I am fresh clothes, I am delicious food, I am good at horses, I am bright lights, I am good at fireworks, I am good at pear gardens, I am good at advocating, I am good at calligraphy and painting, I am good at flowers and birds, and I am good at tea and tangerines, and I am bad at the bookworms and poetry…"
A passage of "Original Epitaph" by Zhang Dai of the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with Jiang Ping's usual behavior, it is somewhat appropriate!
It made Xu Ya laugh:
"So, only the wrong name is given, no wrong nickname... It's really right to call you, the eldest son!"
Three people chatting and laughing,
After passing through a small garden called "High Mountains and Flowing Water" in Huayin Campus, I happened to come to the Guoyin Hall.
“Huh?”
Li Kai glanced at the poster posted on the bulletin board and paused.
Turning his head and smiling at Jiang Ping:
"It seems that you are lucky!"
It was a poster with a leisurely ancient charm. The main picture was a woman in fine brushwork in ancient costume holding a guqin in her hand. The words "Cartoon" in the center of the poster:
"The Qin Yunjun Guqin Concert of "The Sound of the Piano Glitters""
Art Director: Wu Wenguang
Time: October 21st 19:30
Location: Concert Hall of the Guoyin Hall of China Conservatory of Music
"I didn't expect that there would be a guqin concert tonight. Professor Wu is the art director and happened to be in school!"
Li Kai was also a little surprised.
After all, Professor Wu has very little time at school now, so it happened that Jiang Ping had just said he wanted to find Guqin master, but he happened to be at school. This luck is no one else...
Jiang Ping's eyes lit up, staring at the three words "Qin Yunjun"!
"Brother Kai, who is this Qin Yunjun?"
"I don't know much about this. It should be a graduate student in the school... Huayin can hold solo concerts, basically all top graduate students, and Professor Wu personally served as the art director. It can be seen that he still attaches great importance to this student!"
Jiang Ping nodded and smiled:
"I'm quite interested in this concert tonight."
"No problem, Huayin has various concerts almost every day, and students can listen to them without tickets.
And this time you donated 1 million to the National Music Department...
Don’t talk about listening to the concert, you can go to the backstage and chat with the performer alone afterwards.”
Good guy,
A real batch!
That's right, Jiang Ping wanted to visit those folk music masters of Huayin. It would definitely be almost interesting just by referring to Li Kai's introduction.
He donated 1 million to the Huayin Folk Music Department directly in his personal name and as a "folk music lover" to support teaching research and scholarships.
This time, the distance was closer...
At this stage, the domestic folk music and national style have not yet taken off, and the attention of Western musical instruments is far from enough.
To be continued...
