Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Guest Comes From Afar

"You won't go out on the Dragon Boat Festival?" Wu Laosan was very disappointed.

This is especially true for others.

"I really won't go out." Zheng Lang said.

The brothers had to leave in disappointment.

Zheng Lang really has no time to go out. There is a road to diligence in the mountain of books, and the sea of ​​knowledge is endless and hard to work hard. If you want to learn well, you can only study hard. Moreover, he has to be busy studying how to draw on the bamboo tube, practicing piano skills, painting, and practicing several new calligraphy in secret. Where can I take time to go out to play?

After seeing off several good brothers, Zheng Lang said to Chen Siniang: "Let's take the piano lesson."

Chen Siniang walked out with her qin in her arms.

Every time I take the piano used by Zheng’s father, Chen Siniang is very nostalgic.

The skill of the guqin player is part of the skills, and the zither itself is also part of it. For example, the boards are mostly sycamore, zicamore, and fir. However, if Paulownia is used, the tone lifespan will be very short due to wood problems, so it is best to choose white tung. The old tung tree is better for fir trees, and it is best to be Emei old tung tree. It is possible that the special terrain of Mount Emei has had different influences on the wood. The famous Lei Shiqin in the Tang Dynasty deliberately chose fir trees in the old forest of Mount Emei.

The zither ash tire must be mainly deer antler deer or eight treasure ash. However, in order to consider the cost, folk craftsmen add a large amount of tiled ash, which will easily loosen and have a short life. The paint surface is also important. A good paint surface will be corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, water-resistant, oil-resistant, etc. These are the three most important basic elements. The production skills of the guqin are also important. If you make a guqin, whether it is good or bad, it must at least ensure that it is not resistant to fingers, sandy sounds, no scattering, no scattering, and volume. The sound must have a sinking feeling, and it is better not to disperse but long.

On this basis, you can choose carefully. The position of the strings is too high and will resist the fingers. Playing the piano will cause tiring fingers. If it is too low, it will easily produce sandy sounds. The surface of the piano should not be too flat or too flat. It will be difficult to press one, two, three, and four strings above the seventh emblem or seventh emblem. The string distance should not be too wide or too narrow, it will be difficult to control it too wide, and the fingers will be tightened. The length of the strings must be appropriate. Later, the string length was standardized, but the Song Dynasty did not have a unified standard for the length of the strings, and the piano players often purchase and choose at will according to their needs. However, if the actual length is too long and the volume is available, it is very difficult to play certain tones, and the strings are often broken.

This is a common problem of the ancients. If you want to brighten the tone, the string length often exceeds the standard. Use skills to make up for the disadvantages of the string length. As a result, when you use excitement, the "branch" string is broken. It is even worse to be too short, the tension is insufficient, the vibration is not enough, and the sound quality and volume cannot be emitted. The surface of the piano should be smooth, otherwise sand sound will be produced when the sound is vibrating. Is the overtone of the emblem good? The size of the emblem is moderate, and it is even better to be small than big. The thick Yueshan affects the sound quality, and it is too thin and unstable. The insufficient arc of the dragon gum can easily damage the string. The geese foot cannot be too high or too low. The pegs cannot be too thick or too thin.

There are various other considerations.

Piano holders should also pay attention to it, because the piano is not standardized, it is generally difficult to play the music well with a new piano. The more familiar the piano, the more you can play the piano. For regional issues, the Sichuan or Nanqin must be moderately tide when you go to the north, otherwise it will easily crack. There will be a period of adaptation between the North and the South, and the tone will be very dull during this period.

Therefore, there are many pianos, but there are very few good pianos.

Looking at Chen Siniang's expression, Zheng Lang was speechless.

This is the relics of my father, and it has a very large origin. It is the jade spring zither made by Lei Wen, a Lei family in the Tang Dynasty. It has excellent workmanship, beautiful appearance, pure sound quality, and a loud tone. My father spent 1,800 gold to buy it! It was the store in his own store and it took him five or six years to buy the piano. Moreover, it was the relics of my father, no matter how much Chen Siniang liked it, it was difficult to give it.

Or buy a guitar from the market. Ordinary guqin is not expensive. You can buy one for just a few gold, which is not as good as the one in Chen Siniang's hand. Or some guqins are also available on the market, such as the famous guitar made by guqin masters such as Cai Rui in the Song Dynasty, which are also worth hundreds of gold, and some even cost thousands of gold.

He is so expensive that even though his family is still well-off, he is not the kind of top rich man with a wealth of wealth, and he doesn't care about it, nor can he make promises casually.

He said slowly: "If I have a future in the future, I will pay attention to you and bring you a good piano."

"I dare, I just like it."

"Play the piano."

"Um."

The sound of the piano was so sharp that it was not finished, and suddenly a hearty laugh came from outside: "My nephew, I'm so interested."

"See Liu Zhizhou," he bowed and looked behind him at an old man in his fifties dressed up in his servant.

"This is Liu Bo from Master Yan's mansion."

"Bo Liu."

"Yes." The old man looked at him with his forehead.

"Please," led the two into the house and let Sier serve tea.

"My nephew, how have Qin been learning recently?"

"Liu Zhizhou, it's so difficult." Hearing the piano, he felt very elegant and charming. When he came to himself, he realized how difficult it was. There were seven strings and seven notes, and each string had thirteen overtones. Not only that, the left hand also had to cooperate and change the high notes, so the music produced a scattered note (open string note), pressing note, passing note (the sound produced by moving the left hand) and overtone. Although it was nice, it was very difficult to play.

"It's not a matter of a night of effort to play the Yaoqin well."

"yes."

"Besides, the piano is just a thing that can calm your mind and cultivate your nature, and study is the right way."

Because of the arrogance of the guqin, the Tang Dynasty once excluded it from elegant musical instruments. This concept was greatly changed in the Song Dynasty. It can be used as a scholar, Confucian classics, poetry and essays to discuss strategies, and this is the main way to exchange for fame and fortune.

"Yes, the younger generation just comes to freely learn the piano, and they usually focus on reading and practicing calligraphy."

“What have you learned recently?”

"The four and six bodies are the main body, and occasionally I also hunt down various schools of thought."

"It seems inappropriate," Liu Zhizhou was a little disgusted. It was not that the various schools of thought were not good. One person's energy was limited, and his studies were too late. Besides, Feng Yuan, one of the teachers of the young emperor, passed the Jinshi exam, and later when the imperial court's Ming Jing was assigned by the academic officials, he said something, which scared the examiner.

I have all the five classics, and I will tell you which one.

The Five Classics are the Book of Songs, the Book of Books, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Spring and Autumn Period. There is another music that is very controversial about this scholar, believing that the Book of Songs is music, and music is the Book of Songs. The sentences in the Book of Songs are the same as those of the Song lyrics, and they are the scores themselves. But some people think that there is indeed a music book, which is likely to be some written annotations, and plus music scores like guqin scores. Among them, Sima Qian quoted some words in "Records of the Grand Historian" to prove it. These two statements have been marketed for thousands of years.

By the Song Dynasty, only the next song "The Book of Music" remained, which was also incorporated into the Book of Rites.

This proficiency is not something that has been read. Many people have read the Five Classics, and some even have a good memory and spend a few years to memorize it. But the most serious ones are the boundless explanations. The only ones listed in the seriousness include "Zhou Yi Zhengyi", "The Notes of Wei Wang Bi, Han Kangbo, Kong Yingda Jingda, "The Book of Shu Jing", "The Book of Shu Jing", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Zheng Xuan of Han", "The Book of Chuan" by Du Yu, "The Book of Chuan" by Kong Yingda, "The Book of Chuan" by Du Yu, "The Book of Chuan" by Gongyang, "The Book of Chuan" by He Xiu, "The Book of Chuan" by Xu Yanshu, "The Book of Chuan of Chuan" by Fan Ning, and Yang Shixun, "The Book of Chuan of Chuan" by Fan Ning, "The Book of Chuan of Yang Shixun". Not to mention that there are more explanations from everyone else, just these few books are enough to hurt people's minds.

If a person can fully understand one sutra throughout his life, it is a great thing, let alone the Five Sutras.

Then I will take the exam, but it won’t be like Cui Youjie taking Zheng Lang. I still have the intention of persuasion and supervision during the exam. This is a real difficulty. Who told you to speak loudly? I will ask all the questions. In the end, the examiner left in shame...

It's amazing!

This is a rare genius, but you kid actually lacks the Five Classics, so you can also have a variety of schools of thought.

Although I believe that Zheng Lang is smart, Liu Zhizhou immediately stopped him in time. After all, Zheng Lang is his "backward".
Chapter completed!
