Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 56
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Under the altar, twelve musicians who had been ready for a long time rang the chime.

Rows of chime bells are made up of oblate bells of different sizes arranged in the order of high and low tones, and are hung on a huge bell frame. Musicians use T-shaped wooden hammers and long sticks to strike the copper bells respectively, which can produce different sounds. music.

The sound of chime bells is crisp and bright, melodious and pleasant!
But at this moment, the timbre of the chime bells played by the musicians is extraordinarily pure, elegant and full of solemnity.

After the chime is played, all the timbres of different musical instruments such as drums, zither, fou, and zither nearby are completely integrated!
This is an ancient music!
Immediately, a group of curvaceous singers began to hum along with the music.

What they hummed in their beautiful voices was a tune with harmonious rhythm and full of chilling air!
Battle Hymn!

"Wear iron armor and carry a long sword. Fight with me, the road is long!"

"Together with the enemy, to live and die together. To fight with the son, never let up!"

"Bring Wu hooks, all the robes are worn. Fight with the son, you are not old!
"Tread the wilderness, chase the bandits. Fight with your son, sing fearlessly!"

Hearing the poem sung by the singers, everyone present couldn't help being shocked and stunned.

Including Shimi Mou, all the envoys from various countries couldn't help being stunned!
After the song was over, Shimi Mou couldn't help but tugged on the sleeve of Ji Zha beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Ji Zi, is this Wu Feng's poem written by you?"

In the eyes of Shi Mimu and others, looking at the entire Wu Kingdom, the only person who can compose such majestic and rhythmic poems is Ji Zha!
Because he is proficient in the rhythm, he is the great sage and the most virtuous person in the world.

In the early years, the state of Wu sent Ji Zha to the state of Lu.

When he arrived in the State of Lu, Ji Zha heard the magnificent Zhou Le!

Then, with his deep sensibility and outstanding insight, he analyzed the profound connotation of the teaching of ritual and music, as well as the ups and downs of the Zhou Dynasty, which shocked everyone and made everyone look sideways.

Hearing "Tang", Jizha heard the legacy of the Tao Tang family that has been cherished for thousands of years!

Hearing "Daya", he heard the virtue of King Wen in the profound and broad momentum of the music!

When the song "Wei" is everywhere, the ambition of the leader of the "big and wide, frugal and easy" reflects the teaching of Wende with virtue.

Until the dance of "Zhao 箾", Ji Zha exclaimed: This is the most breathtaking movement of virtue, just like the sky covers everything and the earth bears everything.

Even if it is the best of Shengde, it can't be added!
"This is not a poem written by the old man."

Dazai Ji Zha smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said: "This poem is called "Conquering the Son", which was composed by my king and arranged by me. Now my king has clearly stated that this poem should be the battle song of our Wu army and be passed down from generation to generation. "

"hiss!"

Hearing these words, Shimi Mou and other envoys from various countries couldn't help but gasp and were shocked.

Unexpectedly, Qingji, who is known as the number one warrior in the Wu Kingdom and whose bravery is already the best in the world, still has such talent?

This poem full of chilling atmosphere, coupled with the majestic and soul-stirring score, is simply a match made in heaven!

Moreover, following that, another ninety-nine warriors of the Wu army in crimson battle suits and armor stood under the altar.

Following the tune of this war song, they danced with their arms and legs, or slapped their hands, or punched, or sank, or stepped on horseback... Every movement seemed rough and powerful, and it was not a different kind of beauty.

Very masculine aesthetic!
This kind of dance is different from those danced by beautiful dancers, but it looks different.

One song finished.

"it is good!"

"color!"

All the people watching the ceremony couldn't help applauding and applauding.

"Such Wu songs, such Wu dances, and such Wu songs are truly unique in the world!"

"It was a worthwhile trip!"

"Colorful! What a poem, wearing iron armor, carrying a long sword, fighting against the enemy, living and dying together! It is really refreshing!"

"There are "Bei Feng", "Yu Feng", "Wei Feng", "Zheng Feng", "Qi Feng" and so on in the world. Why don't you see the poems of "Wu Feng"?"

"Hahahaha! Confucius should have transcribed this poem into the Three Hundred Poems and compiled it as Wu Feng!"

Everyone was talking about it, and they all felt that this poem written by the Wu people was quite excellent, and it should be included in the "Poetry" [-] Li and passed on to future generations.

The so-called "Three Hundred Poems" is the "Book of Songs", which came from the Han Dynasty and was respected as a Confucian classic by successive feudal dynasties. It was indispensable for the imperial examinations!
As the creator of "Conquering the Son", Qingji naturally believed that this poem was eligible to be included in the "Book of Songs"!
The influence of The Book of Songs is unquestionable.

The Book of Songs is divided into three parts: "Feng", "Ya" and "Song".

"Wind" is a ballad from various places in the Zhou Dynasty;

"Ya" is the formal song of Zhou people, and it is divided into "Xiaoya" and "Daya";
"Song" is a song of sacrifice for the royal court of Zhou and the noble ancestral temple, and it is divided into "Song of Zhou", "Song of Lu" and "Song of Shang"!
It is said that the "Book of Songs" was collected by Yin Jun and Yin Jifu, and later compiled by Confucius. This is the earliest collection of poems in China.

Every vassal state entrusted by the Zhou royal family has its own folk song, namely "Wind"!
Zheng has "Zheng Feng", Qi has "Qi Feng", Wei has "Wei Feng", Qin has "Qin Feng", and even some small countries that have disappeared have their own "Feng".

The remote country of Wu also has its own folk songs, such as "Wu Feng", but it can't be selected among the [-] "Poems" of Confucius, and it has been lost since then!
Now, the song "Wu Feng·Conquering the Son" written by Qingji may not be able to catch the eyes of Confucius.

One song finished.

The musicians and singers under the altar sang "Daya" and "Ode to Zhou" respectively!
"In the Muqing Temple, Suyong appeared. Donate toasts and uphold the virtue of writing."

"The more you are in the sky, the more you are running in the temple. You don't show or accept, and you don't shoot people..."

Qingji was very helpless.

Is this a crowning ceremony for me, or a spring and autumn version of the concert?

Even so, Qingji had no choice but to calm down and "appreciate" patiently.

Finally, with the blaring of horns, all the dancing and music retreated!
Instead, a bonfire was lit under the altar, followed by a large group of wizards in strange costumes, chanting words.

The wizards danced around the bonfire, shaking their snare drums, bells and other unknown musical instruments from time to time, and began to dance to the gods!

Qingji had no idea what was going on in their mouths.

Qingji just followed the original etiquette, facing the big bronze cauldron that was billowing black smoke in front of him, raised his hands above his head, stretched his sleeves, and knelt down.

　I wanted to add more last night, I drank too much, and I will make it up at noon today.
