Prodigal son never prodigal

Chapter 25 Even half a pot of water can make a big difference

The mild-mannered music professor took out his suit and folded his boards.

To describe it, it's like the kind of Allegro that's made up of several bamboo pieces strung together with ropes.

But here it is longer, thinner and flatter, about the size of a small arm. It should be made of some precious wood, and it is also full of exquisite carvings.

Just by looking at Yan Qing's expression, people knew that he recognized it and stretched out their hands to hand it to him.

But he explained the song to the people around him: "Have you ever heard of the song "When Will the Bright Moon Come?", that is the name of the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou",
Why Tang poetry and Song lyrics are timeless classics is because they are songs. "

The professor's words are pleasant to listen to, and he speaks as if he is giving a lecture:
"In ancient times, poems were sung rather than recited. For example, Manjianghong, Niannujiao, and Poppy, each word brand name is equivalent to a set of singing rhythms. Just put the lyrics into it.
The way this classmate sang at your gathering was to put the words into the title of the word card. This is a very typical way of singing ancient words! "

Sports students only know me as a fool. Was Qingyun's singing at that time so particular?
The old professor continued to talk about his category: "Why hasn't this way of singing poetry been handed down?

In addition to the war and displacement, the biggest reason is that the pronunciation of words has changed too much over the years.

The ancient music was mismatched and later generations pronounced it, and the music words were misplaced. The words written in the Tang and Song Dynasties are pronounced differently when we pronounce them now than they did back then.

So even though I can still write poems with these names of words, I no longer know how to sing them. If he sings the words according to the ancient pronunciation, you won’t understand what he is singing at all. He can only break them into modern words and pronunciation. So, you can...can Sing it to ancient music? "

The old man was even more uneasy, as if he was about to see an old friend whom he had never met but had known for a long time.

Holding that long board, Yan Qing really felt like seeing an old friend from a long time ago.

In fact, it didn't take long. To him, who had been sleeping for a thousand years, everything seemed like just yesterday.

People who know how to play Allegro put their thumbs on the ropes between the boards.

No, he grabbed the tail of the board and flicked it skillfully. The stack of five boards was like a folding fan held in reverse, opening and closing quickly, using his tail and ring fingers to stir, emitting a rhythm of priorities and ups and downs.

The music professor, who exchanged his tablet for his mobile phone, proudly fixed the short video of Yan Qing singing.

Only then did you realize that he was not holding the flower drum ring at that time.

It turned out to be this gesture.

Aren’t there several pieces of copper on the hub hoop?

Yan Qing looked like a trembling flower drum circle, but her ring finger and little finger were moving and touching the copper pieces, looking for different rhythms and sounds.

That was just his first time playing!

This person has a solid foundation.

This thing is called sandalwood board, tooth board, or clapper board. The name most likely depends on the material it is made of, such as sandalwood, ivory, or even metal. The tooth board that some officials take to court is also this thing.

A percussionist who was as famous as various musical instruments in ancient times.

The famous "Han Xizai Night Banquet" shows five party scenes of powerful people in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Several musical instruments appear in it, but the sandalwood board is the only important prop that appears twice.

It shows the popularity.

Now that Yan Qing is speaking, it doesn't even sound like a cappella. It turns out that this thing is really a musical instrument.

No wonder I love playing allegro when I learn to sing.

That’s a simplified version!

"It's like a dream, it's like a dream, we traveled thousands of miles to see each other off..."

The sound when sung this time was much richer than that night, but the pronunciation was indeed specious.

And it turned out to be a high-pitched voice, with a very skilled falsetto that you could sing with your throat.

And lots of nasal cavity!
The professor of the Chinese Department was actually in tears.

The music professor turned around and quietly beat time with his group of people, because they all looked like young students.

He had already taken off his piano bag and took out his pipa, flute, flute, and erhu, but he listened intently without speaking.

After Yan Qing finished singing the song, they, under the guidance of the teacher's gestures, played the tune that Yan Qing had just sung.

When these classic instruments are played at the same time, the effect is of course countless times better than the enhanced version of Allegro.

Gai Qingyun was silent. Seeing that so many experts praised and cherished Yan Qing, he still wished that he would shine as brightly as possible. Could it be that he really only earns some nutritional subsidies on the wrestling mat all day long.

So if Yan Qing likes to sing, just sing.

So the prodigal brother of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was obviously aroused, squinted his eyes and listened to the melodious instrumental accompaniment, wondering if he remembered his romantic days.

Then he started swinging the board again, but the song changed.

It's a pity that everyone can't understand it!
I just think it sounds good!sounds so good……

It's like a foreign song.

Only the old professor closed his eyes and concentrated, his face was sometimes ferocious, sometimes struggling, sometimes fighting, trying desperately to understand, but in fact, he suddenly felt relieved and smiled after a few sentences.

Still shaking his head.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes and confirmed that the white-collar beauty was holding a cell phone to take pictures, and then he was satisfied and looked at the judo boy again.

Obviously thinking about the plan.Because he was the only one who understood.

After Yan Qing finished singing this time, he coughed and recited:

"The cold fragrance floats, and I look forward to the dream of a butterfly.

At dawn, the sun is shining brightly, and the sadness is gradually melting away.

Drums urge songs to be delivered, and everyone shares the wine.

To the east of the lonely wall, the door is hidden and the courtyard is full of wind at dusk.

Is it the song "Magnolia" written by He Zhu in the Northern Song Dynasty? "

Yan Qing also followed his chanting and closed his eyes to appreciate the modern pronunciation.

Finally, he bowed slightly and said, "Yes, thank you for teaching me."

The prodigal brother is not talking nonsense, he is really uneducated.

Gai Qingyun even discovered that he didn't know much about literacy, but he could imitate other people's poems due to his intelligence.

He can also compose lyrics for songs with the title of a lyric label, but his writing style cannot be as elegant.

Reading poetry and books is no joke. In ancient times, there were very few people who had the opportunity to read and write, and they had to study hard for ten years to gain some basic skills.

When Yan Qing was in his twenties, he was already full of tricks and skills. He learned everything, but it was easy for him to not be good at anything.

In the early days, he left his master and even had to become a beggar. When he got into fights, he was often punished.

A standard half-kettle of water jingles.

At least when it comes to things like poetry and books, I only learn the superficial stuff, but I’m still far behind on the inside.

So if he really wants to be on stage, he still has to sing other people's songs.

But enough.

The old professor’s comfortable words came up again: “Where is your home from?”

If I ask again now, the atmosphere is already different. The physical education students are basically all as tidy as me. You have only been in college for a few weeks.

I became a freshman and an outstanding student cadre. I changed my wrestling major and took up the martial arts and judo majors. I practiced Chinese wrestling on my own. I performed meritorious deeds on the streets and arrested criminal suspects. Now I sing a song. Do you all have such profound knowledge?

Moreover, the magnanimity of this professor in the Chinese Department is actually higher than the cultural quality of the entire sports college combined.

Someone was already busy answering: "From Southwest Shu Province..."

The old professor suddenly understood: "Oh, some people in mountainous areas may have left behind some ancient rhymes and ancient sounds. I also went to the mountains and countryside and studied for many years, and I can distinguish some of the ancient sounds sporadically. Combined with the name of the word "Magnolia", I can guess What word is it? Are you willing to do this research on the origin of ancient sounds with me? I think this is of great significance for us to comprehensively improve the ancient pronunciation list. "

As a liberal arts student with good college entrance examination scores, Gai Qingyun can still understand this meaning.

Although he didn't know how much academic wealth lay behind it.

He said quietly: "If... you are busy enough, then you should agree to help with this research. Let's just say that you learned to sing this kind of poetry and songs from the mountains... from the old Taoists in the mountains?"

Since they themselves have given reasonable explanations, this good relationship is worth forging.

Yan Qingcai is a considerate adult: "First of all, I am training and studying in the sports academy, and I must get the school's permission. Secondly, I am very busy with training now. I have to participate in judo and martial arts training every Monday to Thursday, and I have to ensure that I Medical professional courses, and go to Jinling for wrestling training on Friday and Saturday..."

It was very obvious to see happy smiles on the faces of everyone at the National Normal University, and the younger and simpler musical instrument students even beamed with joy.

The white-collar beauty who had been holding up her mobile phone to take pictures just now put away her mobile phone and came over. Affected by the rare cultural temperament of the sports academy, the judo student only dared to watch from the side without saying a word.

Let's listen to people's laughter like orioles: "Jinling is great, I happen to have a studio in Jinling, and we go to Jinling more on weekdays, so I just want to rest in Jinling on the weekends, and I can do my best to be a landlord. Yi, the music school is quite convenient here, right?"

Everyone in the sports academy all turned their heads like sunflowers to see Yan Qing's reaction to this mature beauty.

As expected, this guy lived up to expectations and passed the beauty in the air. He turned around and asked the music professor: "What do you think?"

In fact, it was Gai Qingyun who asked him to ask. The nerd felt that he was really learning and improving rapidly by following Yan Qing.

I just quickly searched and found that the Normal University of this province is not in the provincial capital, but in a prefecture-level city [-] kilometers away closer to Jinling. No wonder this beautiful sister puts her focus on Jinling instead of the provincial capital.

At this time, Gai Qingyun finally understood why Jinling was said to be the capital of Anhui Province in Bagua jokes.

Located in the corner of its own province, it has no radiation ability to other powerful subordinates, but it is close to several cities in Anhui Province.

What is naturally absorbed is the centripetal force here.

This is a combination of verticality and horizontality that I would never have experienced before when I stayed in a small county in the southwest.

No wonder so many great wars in the Central Plains, the richest people in the world, and the home of the number one scholar in history all took place in this territory.

Will Yan Qing also want to travel everywhere in the future?

Then you have to plan for the future.
