Chapter 22 Blasphemy?Is it innovation?
An online forum.

"It made me a little excited. I also thought about reading a few poems I wrote in front of Li Bai and Du Fu."

"Aren't you afraid that Li Bai and Du Fu will scold you because of the gangster's tricks?"

"You don't understand. I would be excited to meet these poetry superstars, let alone let them scold me. If I can really scold me, maybe I will be even more excited! Hehe."

"Ah this..."

……

A convenience store in Jinghai City.

The shop owner with thinning hair was watching the program "Dialogue with Ancient and Modern Times" while kneading sunflower seeds.

When he saw Dean Zhao Zhen playing the guqin for Cai Wenji, tears kept dripping down his face.

It turned out that the boss studied Guqin when he was young, but he gave up Guqin for the sake of his family and started a business.

The guqin music I loved before has been replaced by a short video hit.

The hand that used to play the guqin can only play the soot now.

Hair that was once lush is now endangered.

The ideal runs counter to reality, but the love in my heart has never changed for a moment.

The boss wiped his tears with the back of his hand and called home.

"Hey, wife, there is a guqin on the cabinet in my room, please take it down, go back at night, I will play the piano for you."

……

A Guqin class.

"I played it wrong again! How many times have I said it? Keep practicing! With your state, how did you pass the art test?"

A gray-haired teacher is constantly reprimanding a young girl.

"If you can't pass it, you can't pass it! I don't want to play this broken piano anymore! In today's society, I can't make much money by playing it! I might as well learn a craft earlier!"

"you……"

After finishing speaking, the girl rushed out of the classroom and walked outside without looking back.

Sitting in the shopping mall, the girl watched the "Dialogue with Ancient and Modern" program being broadcast live on the screen, with a lot of thoughts.

"After ten years of hard work and hard work, do I really want to give up?"

The girl clenched her fist tightly, gritted her teeth and lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.

"Let's go back."

"teacher?"

The girl raised her head, and the white-haired teacher quickly handed her the milk tea in his hand.

"I was wrong, the teacher was too impatient..."

"I'm sorry teacher, I shouldn't get angry at you..."

"Let's go back."

"Ok!"

……

"Senior Cai, although the traditional art of guqin has become an intangible cultural heritage, the instrument of guqin has shown a different vitality in the hands of young people in the new era."

After finishing speaking, Su Qingyue lightly waved her hand, and the scene on the giant screen changed, and an antique theater building appeared in front of the audience. On the stage sat a young man in a mandarin jacket with a guqin in his hand.

Behind him is a whole band, guitars, bass, drums...everything.

……

"This is...the Grand Theater of Prince Kung's Mansion! Good guy, do you have any friends at the scene!"

"I'm on set! I'm on set! Mom, I'm on TV!"

"No way, Miss Su Qingyue also arranged a camera here? Why can't I find it?"

"I heard that this little brother is going to play anime songs on the guqin today. I wonder if Cai Wenji will want to hit someone after listening to it?"

"Bold! How dare you play this music on a noble qin! What audacity!"

"Go, go! The ancients were much more open-minded than modern people. How can intangible cultural heritage adapt to the development of the times without innovation?"

"That's right, Guqin is just a musical instrument, what is noble or not? If you want me to say that an important reason why Guqin is not popular is that it is not grounded!"

"The down-to-earth air has to be suona, from red to white!"

……

An online forum.

Question: Can Guqin be used to play popular songs? Is this a kind of blasphemy against traditional culture?
Years come late to autumn: Thank you for the invitation.I don’t think so. Like the guitar, the guqin is a plucked stringed instrument that can play famous songs, and of course some popular songs.

Ancient Legacy: Thank you for the invitation.This is definitely a blasphemy against Chinese art!Unforgivable!The guqin is a noble instrument, and this kind of music must not be played!

Breeze blowing snow: playing pop music with guqin?Don't tell me, I really want to hear it.

……

"Clang... clang... clang!"

The bell rang three times on the stage, and the young man in a mandarin jacket put his hand on the guqin and started playing it quickly.

The strong rhythm is mixed with drumbeats, and some electronic music is also laid out, which immediately hit the hearts of the audience.

……

"It's so flammable! I never imagined that Guqin can be so flammable! I used to think that Guqin can only play that kind of slow lullaby."

"Don't you think it's cool? As a person who loves music, I think it's so cool, and it fits my vision of future music."

"Wow! The timbre of this guqin is really good! It sounds so good!"

"No fish or fish! How decent! This is destroying Chinese art!"

"This is not Huaxia Guqin, this is our Goryeo Guqin!!"

"It's not good, the Koreans are here again!"

……

At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause.

"Senior Cai, what do you think?"

"Interesting, very interesting, I never thought Guqin could be played like this, it's great!"

Cai Wenji clapped her hands excitedly.

"Don't seniors think this is an insult to Chinese art?"

"Profanity? Why do you think this way? Music can be innovative, isn't this a kind of progress? Besides, I still used Hujia to compose Guqin music? Is this also blasphemy?"

As soon as this remark came out, the barrage in the live broadcast room was launched crazily again.

"That's right! Intangible genetic inheritance must get rid of the old thinking pattern, and it must not become rescue protection and exhibition communication again! There must be innovation."

"That's right, the most important thing about Guqin inheritance is to make young people interested, adding some popular elements is understandable!"

"Absurd! I must report the program "Dialogue with Ancient and Modern Times"!"

"What cultural innovation? I think this is the negation of traditional Chinese culture! This is deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors! This is to subvert our Chinese civilization!"

"The trend of the times is mighty, if you don't innovate, then wait to enter the museum, hum!"

"Haha, in the Tang Dynasty "poetry was used to select scholars", words were always looked down upon by people, but they were sought after in the Song Dynasty. The times are advancing, and thinking must also be advancing, my friend."

……

"Senior Cai! Do you have anything else to say to future generations?"

Cai Wenji was silent for a long time, and said, "Don't forget Guqin."

Afterwards, Cai Wenji handed the guqin in her hand to Su Qingyue.

……

"Wow, this guqin looks quite valuable, shouldn't it be a prop?"

"It's just a show, and I think it will be returned soon."

"Okay, okay, this show seems to be really costly, and this guqin is not cheap at first glance!"

"It's more than that, the battle scene of the Battle of Chibi is comparable to the special effects of a movie!"

　Thank you for your recommendation tickets, thank you very much, and thank you Li Ze Ge, your support has given me a lot of strength!
