Chapter 221 Seven "Grids" (4K [-]-in-[-])

Fanning pondered for a long time.

In fact, he feels that both the definition and characteristics of "ge" are very consistent with his artistic values ​​all the time.

Especially the last point Viadrin said, about the evaluation of art in the long river of history.

Bach was considered to be an old organist who "liked to write outdated genres" during his lifetime. He was not as famous as his sons. After his death, he and his works were long forgotten by the world.

Van Gogh thought that the sunflowers he painted should be worth 500 francs, but in fact no one cares about this price. The only public auction record in his life, "The Red Vineyard" was sold for 400 francs.

These two people were just the opposite when they were alive, one was considered "old-fashioned" and "pedantic", and the other was considered "weird" and "deviant", but later history proved that they were both pioneers.

Only those who are enthusiastic, diligent, loyal to what they think in their hearts, and maintain awe of art can live forever in another way.

Viadrin looked from top to bottom, passing through the church's intersecting corridors with staggered levels: "People have gone through a tortuous process of research on the mystical theory of 'Ge'. Interpretations of similar definitions vary widely, some are incomplete, some are difficult to understand, some are too emotional, and some value judgments tend to go against the usual aesthetics of human beings, and are considered to be dangerous hidden knowledge recorded under the condition of being polluted by evil gods. "

"The division method adopted by the discussion group now is based on the theory of 'seven gates' of the third court school in history, combined with the enlightenment of the figurative elements on the metaphorical mural "Cow Butcher" popular in that period, and through the modern mysterious Formed after academic optimization and adjustment."

Hearing Fan Ning's heart move at this time, the third metaphor mural of Shi Tongxing?
Judging from the name, this is very likely to be the pattern on the stone tablet I saw in the depths of the underground building. I didn't expect Viadrin to know that the few pictures I heard at the special patrol hall joint dream conference It is a noun, and similar elements can indeed be found in the details of "Cow Butchering Picture".

"The principle behind the naming method of 'Grid', because it involves the hidden knowledge of a higher level, there is no need to delve into it, but you have already half-stepped into the high-level threshold, and you are about to form an intuitive impression of Huita. For the division of 'Grid' itself at each level way, we should have a comprehensive understanding.”

In Viadrin's explanation, not everyone has a "character".People with "character" can't stay forever after death.

Those who live too mediocrely without any output must have never had the term "cognition and memory of the world" from beginning to end.

Even an artist who has produced a lot has a certain "qualification" during his life, but with his death, he may be gradually forgotten by the world, and gradually slip to the level of "not popular", or "disqualified".Of course, there are also situations where the artist is gradually understood and realized by the world and realizes his value after his death, and his "quality" does not fall but rises, or "upgrading".

On the premise of clarifying these points, there are a total of seven heights of "inflow" or higher level of "ge". According to Viadrin's explanation, their names are all metaphorical, corresponding to the "Great Court School" The noun in the mystical theory of "Seven Doors"——

First height: "Moth".In Fanning's understanding, the world's cognition corresponding to this height is probably close to a person who "starts to leave his own footprints in his artistic career". Being a "moth" means that he will be with thousands of people. Together with the same people, we will devote ourselves to the pursuit of lofty things with a small attitude, and we will not hesitate to burn out our inspiration.

A considerable number of musicians, singers, painters, poets who have left a deep impression on their peers and appreciators, diligent composers and conductors, academic teachers with rich experience and profound qualifications, and a very small number of geniuses in their student days are here. one level.

The essential difference between "Moth" and the unpopular "Ge" is that the former has received complete art theory and practical training, and has deep insights in a certain field. The former's art theory can influence people, and art teaching can educate people. , works or interpretations can move people, but the latter cannot.

Second height: "Groom".Roughly corresponding to the "young artists" known to the world, it also includes many respected "old artists", "old professors" and "old scholars". Fanning had accidentally discovered long ago that the term "in Turangalian" Bridegroom" and "sower" are the same word, and it means that the person has begun to export something with his personal brand to the world.

The essential difference between the "groom" and the "moth" is that the former has begun to follow free will, explore an artistic path of his own, and has achieved a certain range of audience recognition, from an artistic "craftsman" to a thorough sense of Art "home", which the latter does not have and cannot.

The third height: "Blade Holder".Roughly corresponds to the "famous artist" known to the world.It means that the artist has turned the illusory free will into a weapon in his hands, and is determined to use a fighting posture to create the essential changes of himself and the world.

The essential difference between "Knife Bearer" and "Groom" is that the former has formed a mature and strong personal style, and his artistic reputation resounds in his own country and spread to the world, while the latter does not and cannot.

Those who can maintain this height after death, or fall from other heights to this height, their works and achievements will be recorded in documents with retrieval or index functions.Those whose names can be found on Fanning’s previous life’s IMSLP score collection network or reference books such as “Music Bible” are at least the “Knife Bearer” composers; those who have passed away for hundreds of years can still be found in a corner of the Internet A picture of one or two of his paintings, at least the "Knife Bearer" artist.

The fourth height: "Forged Lion".Roughly corresponds to the "great artist" recognized by the world.This is the height of the nomination of "Boethius Artist" awarded by the discussion group, which means that the artist's works or interpretations have already possessed "magnificence", and his style can produce transcendent "sublime aesthetics".

The essential difference between a "Forging Lion" and a "Blade Holder" is that during his lifetime, the influence of the former has spread all over the world, and wealth and honor in the worldly sense are at his fingertips. There are countless commemorative events, and the latter does not and cannot.

Take composers as an example. Hundreds of years after their death, their names can still appear in textbooks such as "History of Western Music" in Fanning's Past Life Academy, and even some unpopular recording resources can be found on the Internet, at least "Forged Lion" Artists, but they are usually second- and third-tier knowledge points that are "difficult to memorize and difficult to remember".

Fifth height: "Crescent".It roughly corresponds to the "great master of art" recognized by the world.This is the height at which the discussion group bestows the official title of "Boethius Artist", which means that the master's "ge" is as great as a newly rising celestial body.

The essential difference between "New Moon" and "Forged Lion" is that the former not only created relatively high-yield outstanding works, but also its influence can be such that even after hundreds of years of countless excellent works, it will not fade out of sight. All the more timeless, posterity commemorates them every day, enjoys or performs his works every day around the world, and brings tears to their eyes and comfort in countless moments that the latter cannot.

"Lion forging" is the pride of a country or a nation in a certain era, while "Crescent Moon" is the eternal wealth of all mankind. No amount of gold can be exchanged for another masterpiece of a master to survive.

Whether here or in the previous life, the most well-known music masters and art masters are the existence of "New Moon".As for those second- and third-tier composers who have slipped into the "forged lion" hundreds of years later, except for extreme enthusiasts and music scholars, most people will not listen to these "unpopular" works.

The sixth height: "Torch Holder".Roughly corresponding to the "master" of art recognized by the world, its weight is extremely heavy, surpassing the "master". There are only one or two musicians in each art period who can reach the height of "master" in this world, or only Gregory, Kashunich, and Gilles, among the romantic musicians who have only developed for more than half a century, no one dares to be judged by this.

The essential difference between the "torch bearer" and the "new moon" is that the former is indisputable, opening up a new era, leading artistic changes, inspiring countless "forged lions" and "new moons", and having a profound impact on the human history of mankind. The pioneers who have caused far-reaching influence, and the latter may face the controversy of "over-reputation" or "one's own opinion" if they evaluate it in this way.

In Blue Star, there are also only a few musicians who can reach the height of "torch bearer", such as 3B: Bach in the baroque period, Beethoven in the classicism period, Brahms in the romanticism period, these few people There is no dispute about the "grid"; perhaps there is also Wagner, who has a very special status in the history of opera, Tchaikovsky, the master of national schools of music, Debussy, the founder of impressionism, and the founder of modern music and expressionism. Berg, the "character" of these people differs from person to person.

The seventh height: "Father".This height is only theoretical, and there is no secular term that can correspond to it. In other words, if ignorant people are not required to recognize such an existence, they will think it is a god.According to the mystical thinking of the Great Court School, this height is enough for ordinary creatures to pass through the "Gate of the Dome", thus becoming a presence comparable to the Lord of Witnesses.

Seven kinds of "characters": "moth", "groom", "blade bearer", "forged lion", "new moon", "torch bearer", and "father".

With previous achievements and responses, Fanning is considered to have risen to the top of the "groom", infinitely close to the "knife bearer".

But now, he perfectly performed the "Gothenburg Variations" in front of four masters, three "new moons" and many other "grid" artists. The top of "Blade Holder" is infinitely close to "Forging Lion", which is why the three masters agreed that he can be nominated as "Boethius Artist".

After clarifying the concept and level of "grid", the relationship between the previously mentioned "prosperity of human art" and "diffusion speed of abnormal area" can be explained in a more concise and intuitive language of mysticism——

"The more high-level "grids" there are, the slower the abnormal area will spread."

No wonder Poglerich said that having one more person at the height of the "crescent moon" will buy a lot of extra time.

The influence of many masters is eternal. If the world's cognition and memory of them remain unchanged after death, the "new moon" will still exist in the world.

Even if the creative elements are heavy on the market, focusing on superficially gorgeous and elegant musicians—such as the extremely popular operetta Dominique, the virtuoso pianist Uquillo, and the former Lee Viadrin—as long as he Being able to bring spiritual enjoyment to the world and gain repercussions, his "character" can still be promoted to "Forged Lion" or even "New Moon".

After their death, whether the influence of art will fade, and whether the "style" will slip or not, at least they also contributed a lot during their lifetime.

An extremely important value for scholars who study musicology or art history is that they may rediscover the precious value of some artists who have been dusted in history.

——Bach, whose "ge" was at the level of a "blade bearer", who would have thought that he would become a "torch bearer" hundreds of years later?Although there is an accident of Mendelssohn's excavation of "The Passion of Matthew", in the final analysis, what a person left in the world will eventually be judged fairly by history.

After Viadrin descended to the ground of the church, Fanning still lay his hands on the railing of the steps of the lighting pavilion, and was alone in a trance for a long time.

He felt that there was a sense of carefreeness and understanding on the spiritual level at this time.

Many things that I was emotional, confused, or wanted to express before have now been confirmed at a deeper level.

However, he still has other confusions. The "Boethius Artist" selection mechanism was born more than half a century ago. It is for the evaluation needs of "Ge" and also to integrate resources to create momentum to help artists create a faster response. Why has it been directly related to the promotion of the mysterious side in recent years.

In this regard, Viadrin said that after he was officially promoted to a high position and successfully finished the performance, he would take him to the headquarters of the Guidance School to learn something.

After the condolence performance below was about to start, Fanning walked back to the church ground section by section around the intersecting corridors.

"Why are you sitting here?" As he approached the audience seat, Fanning found that Roy was sitting next to the bench behind him before, looking at him with a smile.

"Waiting for you to share with me the feeling of a successful performance." Roy said.

"Okay." Fanning took a seat beside her.

"What does it feel like?"

"Comfortable."

"All right."

The tuning sound of the instruments on the altar made the two of them immediately quiet down.

With the cooperation of a small orchestra, several singers performed more than a dozen art songs with the lyrics of Bassani's poems in turn. After these meaningful and long small works, the choir slowly entered the venue. Bishop Mill took advantage of the brief Given the opportunity, he gave a brief introduction, one of which impressed Fanning deeply.

"Everyone must follow the free will in his heart to produce truth again and again, otherwise he will wither. Bassani pursues truth all his life. Even if it is not the ultimate truth, at least it will not be judged as disqualified by history."

Tarakani's large-scale religious work, "Requiem in A Minor", began to be played. This was what Fanning heard on the phonograph of the Woodpecker Affairs Consulting Office when he first came into contact with hidden knowledge. It was used as a mystery prayer to stabilize the mind. Wen's music.

Accompanied by the heavy rhythm of the strings and bells, the woodwind and French horns played a gloomy and melancholy prelude, and then the choir, accompanied by the organ, sang the gloomy, frightening and frightening theme of the chant.

The Sun Churches of St. Janin are undoubtedly buildings with top-notch acoustics. The listening experience at the scene made Fan Ning's blood well up and his scalp tingle.

Vocal music is indeed a musical instrument that hits people's hearts directly. Certain impulses began to emerge from the depths of my heart and became stronger and stronger.

Roy was obviously aware of it. During the interval between changing scenes, she leaned over and asked softly, "Mr. Fanning, can I ask what you are thinking?"

Looking at the solemn display of the choir on the stage, Fan Ning slowly responded:
"What if I want to add a chorus to the final movement of the next symphony?"
