Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 454 Who Says Science Students Are Not Artistic?

The host held the microphone in his hand, very worried that these people would point the finger at Ji Donglai.

After all, Ji Donglai's point of view is very new and out of tune with the times. If something really happens, the school meeting will not be able to end.

"Teacher, I want to ask senior Ji Donglai a question just now. Can I major in music?"

A middle school student stood up holding a microphone. The host wanted to refuse the other party's question to Ji Donglai, but he let out a long sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was a music student. Ji Donglai went on stage again and picked up the microphone.

"Hello, please ask!"

The host stood next to Ji Donglai, smiled at the middle school students and said.

"Hello senior Ji Donglai, I am studying folk music and guzheng, and I am also learning guitar. I will soon apply for the school. Do you think it is better for me to learn guzheng or guitar when choosing a major? Several teachers told me that I should Learn the guitar, because there are very advanced guitar players in the market now."

"Even if we don't succeed in the future, we can still work with a guitar. The singers in Xidan earn a lot of money every year. But the guzheng is not good, because the singers in Xidan don't play the guzheng. Do you have any suggestions? ?”

When the middle school students were talking, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, especially many people who like rock and Western music suggested that middle school students learn guitar. After all, it is very easy to get a job. The most important thing is that now the whole of China plays this, and it is popular.

Looking at this group of children with immature faces all over the world, Ji Donglai was a little speechless, and smacked his mouth, not wanting to answer, because there was no way to talk about it, after all, if he told the truth, it would hurt many people's hearts.

Say something against your will?Ji Donglai can't do it!

With a wry smile, Ji Donglai covered his forehead.

"This question seems to be difficult to answer. Our classmate Ji Donglai is not easy to answer. After all, our Capital University of Technology is a science major. It is even more difficult to ask students who are related to art. Science students are not our strong point in liberal arts. Why don't we all focus on science and ask questions?"

Seeing that Ji Donglai didn't answer, the host thought that Ji Donglai didn't know much about music, so he hurried to smooth things over. A group of middle school students below were whispering. Disappointment appeared on the faces of the students who asked the question just now, and they were about to pass the microphone to the students around them.

Some other students showed contempt for Ji Donglai. After all, Ji Donglai's point of view just now is contrary to the cognition of many people, including some adults who are whispering at this time, thinking that Ji Donglai is just sensationalizing and has no real talent. , while Ji Donglai waved at the host.

"The host is right. I am a science student, but I want to answer this question from the perspective of a science student. I wonder if this student wants to hear it?"

Speaking of which, Ji Donglai saved enough face for the host last time, which is the foundation of being a human being. The host was very comfortable and signaled the audience not to take the microphone away.

"Student, I want to ask you, why do you like guzheng so much, why do you want to learn guitar? Or to put it another way, why does your family think you should learn guitar?"

With my microphone, Ji Donglai leaned on the podium with one hand, and said in a very leisurely posture, the students in the audience were slightly taken aback.

"My parents said that the guitar is more advanced, because people in developed countries all play the guitar, and only backward countries like ours play the primitive thing like guzheng."

When the middle school students in the audience spoke, the voice behind them was a little low, but everyone could hear it.

A group of students started whispering again. Although everyone doesn't admit it now, it has reached a consensus in many people's hearts.

Every point has had a great impact on the young people of this generation, and even created an indelible mark on the minds of the previous generation.

Fortunately, the Nine Demons happened, otherwise people of this generation would think that the beacon of civilization will never go out, and the height of the Empire State Building is still growing infinitely.

But even so, even 20 years later, there are still many people who naively think that it is the end of civilization and the paradise of the world.

"This student's answer is very general, so let me ask you again, how many strings does the guzheng have? How many strings does the guitar have?"

With a plot of reflection, Ji Donglai stared at the middle school student below.

"Guzheng has 21 strings, and guitar has [-] strings."

Many people in the audience didn't know what Ji Donglai meant by asking, and the audience became quiet for a while, including many outstanding students from Capital University of Technology.

"Playing the piano is all about combinations. You know better than me. Then let me do a math problem with you. There are 21 strings on the guzheng. How many combinations are there in the factorial of 21? We have all studied mathematics, don't tell me you don't understand .”

"There are so many combinations of guzheng that you can't even count them. What about the guitar? Six strings, how many combinations of factorials? Which one is easy to remember? And what I'm talking about is just a horizontal data comparison. Playing the piano also pays attention to fingering and position, and then multiplied by The combination just now, so the stats of guzheng are even bigger. The combination of guitars is not worthy of the guzheng in terms of data! Now you still think that the low-level guzheng player and the advanced guitar player?"

After Ji Dong finished speaking, everyone in the audience was stunned, then thunderous applause broke out, and many people cheered, including the student who just asked the question. admit.

In the current environment, people's thoughts are not as divergent as in the future, so it is very easy to be led by others. Ji Donglai's simple data analogy just fits the cognition of these people on the scene.

"Let me tell you one more thing. When we made classical music, our ancestors paid attention to elegant music, five syllables. Listen to the music of our country. It is generally the kind of music that is more harmonious with nature, and it is grand and solemn!"

"There is one thing you may not know. When the Japanese invaders entered the capital of our country, other countries were trying their best to search for gold, silver and jewelry. What were they collecting? Chinese classics, one of the most important ones is Chinese classics. Music scores, one day in the future you will go to Japan to find ancient Chinese music scores and try those music, that is really good music.”

"Most of the western music is noisy, seven-tone scale, we will not comment on good or bad for the time being. One thing is certain, listening to Chinese music can generally calm your mind, what about Western music? It is difficult to calm your nerves, That’s the difference. What do we listen to? Most people are looking for resonance, and there’s nothing wrong with young people wanting to be loud.”

"After the age of 30, the vast majority of people begin to pursue tranquility! So it is normal for people to pursue the noise of the guitar before the age of 30. What about after the age of 30? The elegant music society represented by the guzheng is the pursuit of most people. To Take a look at some high-end teahouses, almost all of them are folk music in our country, I don’t know if my answer is satisfactory to you.”
