Lan Ruochan

Chapter 55

"The minister is willing to take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to guard Chenggao.

No matter what happens in Liang Guo, don't let the autumn wind pass this pass. "

Chenggao Pass in Jin Dynasty was Dongping in Luoyang,

It faces the Yellow River in the north, Songshan Mountain in the south, and Sishui River in the east.

To the west is a smooth road, leading directly to Luodu.

If you occupy this place, you can reject Qi Liang, and if you lose it, Luoyang will have no danger to defend and will be in a critical situation.

This pass was called Sishui Pass in the Han Dynasty, and it was named Hulao Pass in Zhou Dynasty.

(The author's case: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" mistakenly split one pass into two, which only adds to the laughter.)
During the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Liu Bang defeated the head of the Sima family, King Sima Xin, at Sishui Pass, and beheaded him twice in a humiliating manner.

This battle was a symbolic battle for Liu Bang to equalize the disadvantages and pull Chu and Han into the balance of power confrontation stage, and Sishuiguan became famous all over the world for this battle.

But the Sima family in the Jin Dynasty was also ashamed to mention Sishui,

Change the name of Sishui Pass to Chenggao Pass,
Together with Hangu, Mengjin, and Yique, they are the Four Royals of Luoyang.

"Is it Chenggao Pass? Chenggao was the feudal city of Guo in the past.

Duke Dongguo was dissolute and unrestrained, sent his son to Zheng, and eventually lost his country.

It is generally absurd for Jin people to name the pass by this.

Afterwards, the fall of Luodu was probably just in response to the prophecy of Dongguo.

I heard that Emperor Mu tried to raise tigers here to capture Xu Yi,

The name of the tiger prison can only show the prestige of the prosperous age.

Li Chong! "

Following the King of Wei's shout, a person walked out from the group of officials, bowed down and bowed,

"The minister should be here!"

This man has frost on his temples and his fish tail is raised high. He is no longer a teenager.

But the square nose and wide mouth, sword eyebrows and long eyes, and three fairy beards still outline a handsome image.

If time goes back tens of years, wouldn't it be better than Yurun Weijie and Fu Fen Helang?
The king of Wei did not wait for him to kneel down, but he supported him and gave him a very holy family.

"Duke Longxi doesn't need to be too polite.

If I want to revive the name of Tiger Prison, I still need to bother Duke Longxi to draft an edict for me.

(Author's case: Guan was named Hulao in the Sui Dynasty, and it was renamed Wulao again in the Tang Dynasty to avoid the taboo of Li Hu.)
I will personally go to Hulao to write a plaque, accompanied by General Annan, and bestowed upon Uncle Hongnong. "

(The author’s case: After Yang Yi’s death, he was granted the title of Duke of Hongnong County. For this alone, his descendants can be regarded as the main line of the Hongnong Yang family. The eighth generation of Yang Zhen should be Yang Quanqi, and there are biographies in all previous dynasties. According to Sui Shu, Yang Jian's ancestor, Yang Zhen's eighth-generation "di" Yang Xuan, for some reason left Yanbei and joined the Murong family, either as a side branch or as a continuation, Gai Mo knows.)
As soon as these words came out, Yang Yi and Li Chong were shocked.

The former's fear in his heart has surpassed his gratitude, and he hurriedly played,

"Your Majesty! If there is any change in Liang Guo, the Tiger Prison will bear the brunt of it. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"It doesn't matter. Since I have Qing, the autumn wind will not pass through Hulao Pass.

But, I also want to know whether this autumn wind is cool or not?Is it still warm? "

"Get off!"

The yellow gate sang, Chang Ge's colorful flags headed eastward, and the dust covered the sun and the sky could not be seen.

Yang Yi straightened his tasseled helmet, pulled the horse's reins, saw the marching phalanx in front of him, and knew that there was no turning back, so he gritted his teeth and shouted,

"Yan Liang, Yan Sui! Quickly return to the headquarters to gather troops and horses, and travel through the starry night to guard the tiger prison!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

Gou's Town is located at the key point of the official road from the east to Luo, and there is a lot of natural people on weekdays.

But today is a different scene,
The streets are empty, businesses are closed,

At important road intersections, soldiers have set up posts to check.

As soon as Qingyun and his party entered Goushi Town, they were "invited" into a teahouse and their identities were checked.

Qing Yun, who is from the south, didn't want to be troublesome at this time, so he took out the token of the Little Dragon King.

When the generals saw the token, how could they be negligent, and immediately started to help everyone register for the temporary customs certificate.

This customs document was originally a document used by long-distance public officials to prove their identity, so that public officials can get proper care when they pass through various passes and state capitals.

At this time, the military set up a card to handle temporary customs clearance for all floating population, which is naturally a temporary martial law based on the special situation.

Everyone knew that it was useless to ask more questions, so in order to restore freedom as soon as possible, they also made a gesture of cooperation.

Li Zhi looked out from Fan Yang, Liu Ying came from Heshuo, and Hucai Pavilion was connected with Pingcheng, so naturally no one would interrogate them much in the Northern Dynasties.

When it was Yin Seke's turn, she pouted her lips and wrote down the word "Hanoi" in the column of hometown.

The military officer in charge of registration glanced at it and snorted,
"Yo, Hanoi County, which county is it in?"

Yin Seke was quite annoyed, Heshuo and Pingcheng were both border counties of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but they did not speak out to question Liu Ying and Caiting.

I was born in Hanoi under the foot of the emperor, but the other party made things difficult. Could it be that he intends to entertain Miss Ben?
Although she thought so in her heart, she still threw a charming smile at the other party,
"The little girl's hometown is not far from here, and Wen County, Hebei is here."

"Wen County?", the military officer suddenly turned around and asked,
"Wen County is in the south of Gong County?"

An official dressed as a scribe next to him responded,
"Exactly. Wen County is located in the southwest of Gong County, and is on the main road.

Crossing the river from Wenxian County can directly reach Songshan Mountain. "

The military officer frowned, glanced at the long sword behind Yin Seke, and ordered,
"Come here, check your body!"

Immediately, dozens of soldiers rushed out from the left and right, and stopped Qingyun and others in groups of two and two.

The few remaining thick men pressed Yin Seke's shoulders without any explanation, and two more men grabbed her two jade arms respectively.

Jizhi weighed the situation and didn't want to have any direct conflict with the officers and soldiers, so he signaled to everyone with his eyes to be calm and not rash.

Yin Se could see it, struggled a few times, then gave up.

It was just grabbing Yin Seke, but the military officer on the left didn't have the slightest intention of sympathizing with her.
Grabbing the latter's wrist veins, the other hand rolled up the sleeve, and slid out a pink-carved jade-like arm.

Although the Northern Dynasties taught the style of men and women to be open to the previous dynasty, how could a woman bear such humiliation?
Seeing Yin Seke's cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with tears, she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Qingyun was about to explode, but saw that the generals around him seemed relieved at last, and retreated back to the team one by one.

The old man who rolled up Miss Yin's sleeve suddenly bowed shyly to the former, and apologized, but he didn't dare to roll up the sleeve, for fear of being rude again.

With tears in her eyes, Yin Se tidied up her coat by herself.

"General, no wound was found on the left arm.

The woman is five feet and a half tall, so she should not be the murderer. "

Qingyun hurriedly pulled Miss Yin back, protecting her behind her.

Hearing the conversations of those military masters, Jizhi suddenly remembered that when the little dragon king left the temple, he vaguely mentioned the assassination of Concubine Gao in the county. Judging from this posture, is the murderer coming here?

So he whispered his conjecture to everyone, Yin Seke finally understood why he was the only one who was wronged, and sighed inwardly.

"And you!"

The military officer in charge of the registration seemed to remember something again, and pointed at Qing Yun,
"You're the only one left!"

With a thought in Qingyun's mind, he registered as a native of Yixing County at the Southern Dynasties Registry Office.

But Yixing was a division of the Southern Dynasties, and it might cause trouble at this time, so with a swipe of a pen, he signed the Longxing land of the Qi King's family - Langya.

After the military officer registered, he signaled them to sit in the tea house for a while, and they were not allowed to walk around at will, nor exchange private words with other idlers until the customs clearance was completed.

For these officials, investigating the whereabouts of the murderer who murdered the imperial concubine is of course a top priority at the moment.

However, it is even more important to investigate the idlers in Luodong and create a good security environment for King Wei to enter Hulao.

Back then, Qing Yihan stabbed him, severely wounded the little dragon king, pointed his sword at the young emperor, and shocked the government and the public. Wei people still remember it vividly.

This time Wei Wang put himself in danger, and he must not make any mistakes.

That's why there is a service station for temporary handling of customs certificates, and it is strictly forbidden to move around and communicate with each other to prevent the conspiracy of criminals.

Qing Yun and the others held the badge of the Little Dragon King, and these leading soldiers did not dare to neglect, and invited them into the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

Although there are soldiers guarding the door, it is indeed much cleaner than the noisy hall downstairs.

Qingyun looked down, hey, there are quite a lot of acquaintances.

The Qiwu Mission, Master Foxian, and Yang Shaoxian who lived in Lanruo were all placed downstairs.

They were all separated from each other by the soldiers, and they were forbidden to communicate, so Qingyun naturally had no chance to strike up a conversation, so he could only sit back in his private room resentfully.

Although this teahouse was temporarily requisitioned by the military, there were still many services that should be provided. From time to time, children came to ask if they needed snacks and tea.

Qingyun and the others sat in the private room, and the standard was naturally higher. The two girls ordered a lot of dried fruit and pasta, but they still met the standard, so they naturally turned it down.

There was no fresh green tea in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and tea cakes from Sichuan were used to make tea, and there was a plate full of them in the private room for these young masters to take.

After a while, the stage of the teahouse opened, and on the left side of the stage were various drums, including drums, gongs, big drums, small drums, and golden gongs, which were arranged in a well-arranged order, naturally for the convenience of drummers to play in unison. .

Afterwards, three big men came up to the stage, clasping their wrists to roll their names. One of them walked behind the gong, and the other two took out two horns and a peach-skinned gong respectively, and stood on the right side of the stage.

The man who played the drum was of a certain figure, so he beat his wrists like pounding garlic on the long arbor drum with all his might, and the crisp sound was like a sudden rain, which was heart-shattering.

I saw a woman, covering her face and revealing her belly, twisting her snake waist, swaying her lotus steps, and walking quickly onto the stage to the sound of drums.

With a choking sound, the woman landed in the center of the stage, held up the four-stringed pipa in her hand, and bowed gracefully to the audience.

Although the light veil half-hid her face, the woman's gaze was full of affection, and it was so soul-stirring.

Yin Se could see the shape, and immediately screamed,

The four-stringed pipa is a new musical instrument. Although the three men put on a clear posture to play the traditional drum horn horizontal blowing music, the young lady who played and sang with Bai actually used the pipa. This combination of traditional folk art and trendy music is quite novel. , All of a sudden, this little girl from the Yin family was ignited.

Qing Yun had never seen much of the world, so he looked out in a daze.
Hu Caiting snorted coldly, "Superficial!"

This drum and horn blowing music was created by ancient military musicians in their spare time, and it was used to relieve the boredom of those barefoot soldiers.

Because the appreciation level of ordinary soldiers is generally relatively low, most of the songs they play are the songs of the Lower Liba people.

Later, this kind of folk art gradually spread to the people and was used by teahouses to attract business. The pure music was not enough, so a pretty woman was added to tell stories by playing and singing.

This story has gradually developed from a short story to a long one. The chapters will whet your appetite, and you can sit and read it every day. This is how the teahouse culture was formed.

A burst of trumpets sounded, and the rumble of drums gradually rose. Qingyun was fascinated, and he seemed to see lights and swords in his mind, and soldiers on the battlefield.

There are bursts of horizontal blowing sounds, such as calling for border horses, complaining about the spring breeze of willows.

Among the spectators, some fell into deep thought, and some followed the beat, shaking their heads and stamping their feet, very fascinated.

The soldiers and soldiers on the side occasionally had tears on their cheeks, which seemed to arouse the memories of the iron and blood past at the border.

There was a sound of gong on the ground, and suddenly everything was silent, and the silent dust storm suddenly rose, shattering everything and void, and everyone's spiritual consciousness had not returned home.
Hearing a string like pearls and jade, the three souls and seven souls who were wandering around were gathered together, and they walked in the dreamland following the sound.

At the beginning of the show, the string-twisting woman seemed like a cuckoo crying, ethereal and ethereal, as if using a mantra to summon an enchantment, locking the mind of the tea drinker in the space created by stealing dreams.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, Mulan is weaving. I don't hear the looming loom, but the sigh of the girl.

Ask the woman what she thinks, ask her what she remembers.Women do not think, women do not remember.I saw a military post last night, and the Khan ordered a lot of troops. There are twelve volumes of the military book, and the volume has the name of the master.Grandpa has no eldest son, and Mulan has no elder brother.

The east market buys horses, the west market buys saddles, the south market buys bridles, and the north market buys whips.Once he bids farewell to his father and mother, he will stay by the Yellow River in the evening. He does not hear the voice of his father and mother calling for women, but he hears the sound of the Yellow River splashing and splashing.Once he left the Yellow River, he reached the top of the Black Mountain in the evening. He didn’t hear the voice of the mother and father calling for the girl, but he heard the chirps of the Hu Qi in the Yanshan Mountains.

Thousands of miles go to the military plane, and Guanshan is as flying as it is.Shuoqi spreads the golden watchtower, and the cold light shines on the iron clothes.Generals die in a hundred battles, and strong men return in ten years.

Return to see the emperor, the emperor sits in the Mingtang.Zhixun twelve turn, reward hundred thousand strong.The Khan asked what he wanted, and Mulan didn't need a minister, and was willing to travel thousands of miles and send her son back to her hometown.

When the parents hear that the daughter is coming, they go out to help the general;Open the door of my east pavilion, sit on my bed in the west pavilion, take off my wartime robe, and put on my old clothes.When the window is arranging clouds and temples, the mirror is decorated with yellow flowers.When I went out to see my companions, they were all in a hurry: I have been together for 12 years, but I didn't know that Mulan was a girl.

The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, while the female rabbit's eyes are blurred; two rabbits walk side by side, how can you tell if I'm male or female? "

Noisy, noisy, Guan Yingyu, singing all the way until the aftertaste of the word "female" reverberates in the teahouse, and the rotating pillars wrap around the beams for a long time.

Yin Seke's head was still swaying, her fingertips tapped on the table non-stop, but the applause from Hu Caiting made her tremble all over.
"Okay! Who said that women are inferior to men!"

Although Qingyun was absorbed in listening, he was not as excited as Caiting.
Seeing the latter's bloody look, it seems that at this moment, he can't wait to put on the saddle, drive the northern border, and kill all directions.

"Fourth sister, you are too into the drama!"

Hu Caiting twitched her nostrils and said mockingly,
"What do you know, you brat?
General Xiaolie fights on the battlefield as a virgin, defends his family and the country, is loyal and filial to both sides, and is a role model for our generation of women.

One day, I will be like General Xiaolie, riding horses and swearing to Kongtong! "

Yin Seke opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Cai Ting without blinking. At this moment, there seemed to be a lot of respect in her eyes, so she clasped her hand lightly a few times to express her agreement.

The voices of people in the teahouse also gradually rang out. Although they were all whispers between the same tables, they were quite restless together. Obviously, the story of General Xiaolie serving in the army in place of his father was very popular in the Northern Dynasties, and there was no lack of resonance.

Qingyun had never heard the complete version of the story before, so he asked about it. The second daughter next to him was you, and I exaggerated General Mulan, but he did not spell out a complete story.

Binzhi and Liu Ying shook their heads, but they couldn't get in their mouths, so they had to let them go.

The storyteller restrained her voice slightly, and suddenly waved her five fingers, and there was a loud clatter, the audience fell silent, and they all looked directly at the stage.

"Duan Mulan's speech just now, it's just an appetizer~
The acridine house came to sing a section, and it was the dinner, and I couldn't hear it in other places.

Only the Prime Minister of Wuli Gou's Town, who deserves to present Xuanyuan's novel Duga, a long review-"Wencheng Past".

Hong Kong is the story of the last years of Taiwu, when eunuchs disrupted the country, and Emperor Wencheng set things right.

When he arrived at Ala Port on the last day, Prince Zhengajingmu avoided a difficult situation by hiding his eyes and ears.

If you want to know what's next..."

Speaking of this, there were a few more strings, and the drum horns in the back were blowing horizontally, and the music began to play.

This storyteller speaks a standard Chang'an ancient accent, one can tell that she has a background in the rap industry, and what she is talking about now is a secret of the present, not a traditional repertoire like "Mulan Song", and she is obviously a creative artist.

The interest of the spectators in the arena was suddenly aroused.

Qing Yun stuck out his tongue, and said to Liu Ying and Cai Ting,
"Is it appropriate to tell the secrets of the royal family in front of so many officers and soldiers?"

Liu Ying hadn't fully recovered at this time, and his words were weak, so he was robbed by Caiting.
"The emperors of the Northern Dynasty didn't particularly care about this,

Especially today, as long as he doesn't deliberately vilify the Tuoba royal family, he won't be as knowledgeable as grassroots people.

Just look at that big brother's big mouth and you'll know it. He himself has shaken off all the embarrassing things about Tuoba's family.

That is to say, Cui Situ was too straightforward back then,
It was only when Emperor Taiwu rebalanced the power of the government and the opposition that it was dealt with.

However, storytellers will not let this kind of material go unnoticed. Some people have written commentary on Cui Situ's affairs, and most of them are crying for him.

As long as tea drinkers like it, those storytellers have nothing to dare to write.

The Tuoba family also turned a blind eye to this, and never heard of any teahouse being sealed up because of this. "

Before Cai Ting finished speaking, the storyteller on stage had already started singing.

That girl is also naturally savvy, so she stopped talking and listened to the book with everyone.

The contents of this section of the book actually come from the true and false Tuoba's innocent past told by the Little Dragon King.

It's just that Xiaolong Wang's description is very brief, and many key points are not discussed because of his position. Of course, it is not as good as the artistically processed commentary version in front of him.

The storyteller told how Emperor Taiwu burst into tears when he learned that he had beheaded the prince by mistake, his liver and intestines were broken in pain, he vomited blood, and he couldn't recover from his illness.

Na Zongai knew that the conspiracy had been exposed, and took advantage of Emperor Taiwu's death to take the lead in killing the emperor.

When Tai Wu passed away, the courtiers did not dare to reveal their secrets, and Zong Ai took the opportunity to lure the young prince, King Nan'an, into the palace, killing blood in the palace. Countless courtiers and palace people were buried with the third prince.

Hearing this, Qingyun was overwhelmed. No wonder the current king of Wei handled it so low-key after the prince was deposed, and was not in a hurry to establish a new prince. It turned out that there was such a bloody old incident in the Northern Dynasty.

If the story goes on, after Nan'an King won the throne, he and Zong Ai became suspicious of each other.

This love is also ruthless, and even repeated the same trick to kill the king for the second time!

Such a rebellious minister is truly unprecedented!

(The author made a joke, the record of the Kingslayer will be broken soon, but the record breaker is still playing with mud at this time, his Barbie was originally made, and is currently on the run.)
Zong Ai set up Tuoba's innocent and young son, thinking that he would be a soft persimmon,

Who would have thought that the two dark ministries of Baohui and Baoyi had already made deployments, the new emperor was established, and Zong Ai was executed!
At this time, the new emperor Tuoba Ulei found Tuoba Daja behind Anbu,

When asked if he is his father, no,
The second question is that he is Tuoba Tuwan, and he should not.

The new emperor knelt down and begged for the truth, and Daja was finally surprised to stand up to meet him.
After hurriedly saying that he is the Li family, he looked out of Longxi for his own reasons.

The new emperor knew that he was involved in a lot, so he didn't dare to ask about the secrets.
It was decreed that the surname Xianbei was bestowed by the emperor, and Daye was the name of Liwei.

When Cai Ting heard this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

She poked Liu Ying, and the latter's reflex arc was a little longer now, and it looked like she hadn't figured out what it meant.

Cai Ting hurriedly enlightened,

"I just heard that libretto as if it mentioned that Emperor Wencheng gave Li's Xianbei surname Daye?"

Qingyun, it's all about nodding,

Liu Ying also hummed, still looking at Caiting with a puzzled expression.

The four sensible people looked at Liu Ying helplessly, and Cai Ting continued to preside over the trial.

"The gold medal you won, you said it was engraved with..."

"Oh!" Liu Ying seemed to have finally come to his senses, "Daye, Li, Li..."

Qingyun then asked,
"What do you mean by Pangjis, a gift from heaven?"

Liu Ying's eyes widened and he couldn't help nodding, not understanding why the other party looked at him with such weird eyes.

"Li Tianci?"

The four sensible people said in unison.

"Who is Li Tianci?"

Liu Ying was full of doubts, while Junzhi explained the matter of Li Xuandu and Li Tianci in the simplest words.

Liu Ying still didn't understand.

"Then why is he arresting Miss Mochou?"

Now the four big ones don't understand or understand.

Suddenly, Yin Seke seemed to realize something,
"My family name is Mochou, from Liang Guo County, married to Liu Shilang, and gave birth to a son called Ahhou...

Hey?Sister Mochou's origin is the Li family of Liang Guo, right?
The Li family of Liang State is Zhao County..."

"oops!"

Qingyun suddenly let out a strange cry, and the rest of the people cast their gazes over, even the soldiers standing guard at the door of the private room couldn't help but take a look in.

Looking at the scorching gazes, Qingyun suddenly pointed at the way of 暅,
"I remember, I remember my elder brother vaguely said that most of the women from the Li family who marry into the palace are selected from the Li family of Liang Guo."

Liu Ying shook his head and said,
"How is this possible? Mochou is already married."

Dianzhi was like Qingyun, as if he also smelled something dangerous,

"It doesn't matter if you have married someone, anyway, after giving birth to an heir, it will be erased."

Hu Caiting suddenly interjected,

"That's not right, according to what the elder brother said before.

The chosen concubines of the Li Family of Liang Kingdom may all go to marry after conception, and Sister Mochou is still..."

"oops!"

Liu Ying's cry was more abrupt than Qingyun's just now, and he finally ran ahead of the other four people for one time.

"Go and save Mo Chou!

Someone wants to insult her innocence, we must leave immediately! "

The soldiers outside the door heard the commotion in the private room, and angrily knocked on the wall with their shields, shouting in a rough voice,

"Grandpa, please be quiet, making trouble here, do you want to go to prison!"

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

First of all, I would like to thank so many readers for reading more than 40 chapters with incomparable patience, but there should be many readers who are very dissatisfied with the procrastination of the plot of this work.Why does a common county and Wen county have to fight for a long time, who likes to watch this?First of all, I would like to say sorry to the readers here. Most of the readers read for fun after dinner. Of course, they like more compact and direct content.But this book does take care of some groups who like to slow down the book frame by frame.

These seemingly unnecessary place name disputes, including some seemingly logically illogical dialogues, are actually burying the ground.These stalks may pop up after a few chapters, and there may be no feedback until the finale. Oh, it turns out that this matter has been mentioned in the article.In fact, the author has no way to point out these stalks in the subsections of the article. If the Yang family and the Li family were not leading the two dragon veins of the later generations, the author would not be willing to do such a boring thing as counting the family tree.Therefore, most of the stalks still need to be tasted by the readers in slow playback.

Here is a small example. In the previous chapters, I mentioned the Easter egg of Kim Joong-Jie, and I believe many careful readers have also learned about it.After checking the relevant information, I believe that most readers feel: cut~ what the hell, that's the way it is.But in fact, the author has hinted countless times about the connection between Jin Chongjian and the ancestors of the Lu family in Wuchuan, and in the former Wuchuan jurisdiction, Donghe District, NMGBT City, there is also a Luzu Temple with a relatively long history.After the Ming and Qing dynasties, this Lv Zu Temple was dedicated to the Taoist Lv Zu. Before that, we didn’t make too much noise about who’s ancestral temple.It’s just that the plot of this article is supplemented, and when you read the story of Jin Zhongjian, you will find that, ah, this guy’s legendary reincarnations have such a deep connection with the Lu family!The only seemingly irrelevant paragraph is also brought back by this work... The three lives and three generations, it turns out that there are such wonderful stories of accumulated love in ancient myths and legends... Cough, cough...

Well, the rest of the content is left to the judges to use their imaginations. Let's go back to another controversial point in this chapter-the birth of the suspected drum kit.Did the drum set exist in ancient times?To explain this problem, we need to start with storytelling, drums, and commentary on these folk arts.There has always been some controversy as to whether these narrative folk arts originated in the Ming Dynasty or the Zhou Dynasty.In fact, this kind of controversy is completely unnecessary, just like whether football originated from England or China, how should you talk about it?

Storytelling has a long history, and the ancient texts "Mulan Song" and "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast", which are necessary for the college entrance examination, are actually living fossils of storytelling.What's the point of these works if no one tells the story with singing?At the scene of Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing", what did the poet listen to?After "Neon Clothes" and then "Six Yao", the song was changed, from the boy in Wuling to his younger brother joining the army, marrying as a wife, and then being abandoned. How many songs can this twists and turns story cover?

"The Peacock Flies to the Southeast" is a Han Yuefu, so it can be seen that the narration with words has begun at least in the Han Dynasty.And "Mulan Ci" is a song lyric for drum horns blowing horizontally in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and "Tong Dian Le Xu" "drum horns blowing horizontally, according to Zhou rituals 'drumming the military with drums'." It shows that this kind of folk art came from the Zhou Dynasty, and it was originally drum music.After the Han Dynasty, it was introduced into the Hujiao, and it was also used as a horizontal blow and played as a musical instrument.Because this kind of music originated from military music, it requires a variety of musical instruments and is very complicated. The performance method is a bit like ancient Chinese gala music and modern Western symphony. "Yuefu Poetry Anthology Hengchui Quci Preface" states that its advocacy is divided into four parts. The first part is the Drum Department, including the Drum, Jinzheng, Dagu, Xiaogu, Changming Jiao, Ciming Jiao, Dajiao and so on.In addition, there are special cymbal drums, large horizontal blowing parts, small horizontal blowing parts, etc., which also include cymbals, Jiegu, Xiao, Hujia, flute, 筚篥, peach skin 筚篥 and other musical instruments.Translated to modern music, it basically covers all the instruments in the woodwind department, brass department (horn replacement) and percussion department of the symphony.These songs are naturally symphonic forms in military music performances, but when they are introduced into teahouses as narrative literature, they are bound to be less ostentatious.The personnel who play music must be streamlined.The intensive placement of drums, like the intensive placement of chimes, does not require any special creativity.All kinds of drums and golden gongs were indeed classified as one gang department at that time, so it is normal for a single drummer to operate it.Western drum kits were actually born under the same performance requirements.

From the perspective of various schools of folk art today, the northern rap arts, including traditional Tibetan rap, have inherited the use of drums intact.The pipa flowed into China during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and began to become a mainstream musical instrument in the Tang Dynasty, becoming one of the common instruments for playing and singing.After Huangchao's trip to the south in the troubled times, it gradually became the main instrument of the southern rap art.Of course, this is also related to the lack of high-quality leather goods in the south and the high production cost of drums. Otherwise, Pingtan accompanied by drums may really be popular in tea shops.
