Chapter 43 Sound (2)
These short four sentences and 32 characters contain the following meanings: first, by checking whether the voice contains enough energy, you can measure the heart and tolerance of the person; second, by checking whether the sound quality of the voice is beautiful and harmonious, Pleasing to the ear, you can detect the person's hobbies and qualities.The focus of "coordination" here is on "harmony", rather than the sole criterion of pleasing to the ear.Third, through the size of the "momentum", one can measure whether the person's will is strong or not.If the momentum is strong, the willpower must be strong and firm; if the momentum is weak, the will will be weak and lack assertiveness.Fourth, the voice contains emotions, through which the current mental state of the person can be known.For example, it can be divided into "like weeping like complaining", "like resentment like admiration", or "generous speech" and "sound like a bell".

A person's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys will definitely be revealed from "voice", "voice", "momentum" and "voice". No one can hide this.People's emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy will definitely be reflected in the voice, even if they are artificially concealed, there will be some characteristics.This is a feasible way to observe the inner world of characters.At the same time, it is more accurate to examine the changes in eyes, complexion, and speaking attitude.To distinguish sounds, one must examine emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. "Bing Jian" made a descriptive explanation of emotions:

"Happiness is like a broken bamboo", the joyful voice is as clear and sweet as a green bamboo split, full of natural softness and beauty, and free from the pollution of human noise.This kind of voice has natural and simple beauty, not pretentious, not artificial, it is a frank expression of true temperament, natural and generous, not vulgar but not flattering, with a graceful and luxurious demeanor.

"Angry is like a cloud and thunder rises from the ground", when you are angry, there is a loud and loud sound that suddenly erupts, like thunder shaking in the air, hitting the ground, it is majestic and powerful, but if you cover your head with "yin", it is strong but not impetuous , On the contrary, it is in an attitude of tolerance and generosity, rather than a destructive thunderbolt.

"Mourning like a stone hitting thin ice", when mourning, the sound is like when thin ice is broken.Although the thin ice is easy to break, the sound it makes is clear and bright, neither scattered nor chaotic, nor noisy.Although there are signs of sorrow and suffering, it is neither severe nor urgent, neither severe nor violent, and has the tendency of "emerging in estrus and ending in propriety".

"Music is like dancing in the snow before the wind", the snow is blowing and the wind is blowing, a sky full of silver butterflies, jade trees and Qiongzhi, and a world of ice and snow. This is a common winter snow scene for the ancients.When people are happy, dance with the help of music, the sound is like snowflakes dancing, light but not crazy, beautiful but not lewd, floating but not swaying, rushing but not wild, light and elegant, chic and unrestrained, unrestrained and beautiful.

The above four kinds of voices are full of emotion, simple and natural, crisp and clear, which are Zeng Guofan's comparison of joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and are considered the "good news" of voice.

Utilize the world
There are also such records in ancient books, not only the sounds that people make can be used to observe and understand people, but also the sounds that are played, knocked or played by people can also be used to recognize people.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Jiqiu Mastery" records: One night, Zhong Ziqi suddenly heard the sound of hitting the pan and felt very sad. Is that sad?" The man of Chipan replied: "My father was unfortunately executed for murder, and my mother was fined for making wine by the public, and I was fined by the public for making wine. I thought about how to redeem my mother, but there was no way. I am also the property of the public, so I feel very sad." Zhong Ziqi said with great emotion: "Sad! Sad! A person's heart is not an arm, and neither is an arm. Wooden vertebrae and rocky pans, but when a person is sad and sad, both woody vertebrae and rocky rocks will respond!"

This is quite miraculous.

From playing music, beating drums and rocks to observe people's temperament, the accuracy is still very high.However, due to the subtle changes and complexity of these sounds, it is difficult for ordinary people to grasp that's all.

When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was old, he also slackened in political affairs; he also abolished Yang Yong and made Yang Guang the prince, and the world changed from peace to troubled times.Later, Yang Jian issued an edict to promote new music, and said: "Folk music has been out of the way for a long time, abandoning its old style, and campaigning for a lot of voices. It should be banned to preserve its roots." From this point of view, this is not a bad thing at all. , and Confucius deleted poems into 305 pieces, which have the same meaning as setting the rhythm of the world.However, Wan Bao, an official who supervised the world's music at that time, often cried when he heard the new music. , thinking that this is nothing more than an artist's fantasy.

Later, when Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, the world was in chaos. Soon, the Sui Dynasty also perished, and what Wan Baochang said was true.

What Wanbao often listens to is music, and he can use it to judge major events in the world, which is the same as distinguishing people by hearing the sound, but the mystery in it is beyond the comprehension and grasp of ordinary people.

workplace utilization
To some extent, something inside a person can be expressed through the voice.For example, if we want to show a brave and open-minded person, we often describe it with a voice like a bell.Therefore, the voice of a person reflects its characteristics and character inadvertently.While we are strengthening our voice cultivation, we are actually also training our personal cultivation.Our ancestors have accumulated a lot of useful experience in this regard.Of course, the times are different, and the conclusions that may be drawn may be biased, but it can still be used as a reference for us to recognize people in the workplace.

A person who is quiet and peaceful in his heart will have a peaceful, calm and pure sound in his voice.On the contrary, if a person is impetuous and restless, his voice must be troublesome, noisy and disturbing.

A person with a pure and smooth heart will have a smooth and smooth voice, and a coherent and smooth tone.

A person with a rich and fulfilling heart will have a vigorous, mellow voice with a gentle sound.

A person with a tolerant and gentle heart often has a gentle and gentle voice, like flowing water on flat ground, gentle and smooth.

A person who is dishonest in his heart will speak scatteredly, hesitatingly, submissively, incoherently, there are problems with the logic of his speech, and he is evasive.

And a person with integrity in his heart has a clear voice, a quick rhythm, and a coherent tone of voice, all in one go.It will not be interrupted by thinking.

A vile, insidious person with a voice that is so sinister and harsh that it sounds repulsive.

The beauty of the voice reflects the beauty of the soul.As a person in the workplace, this can be used as a reference to identify colleagues in the workplace, leadership qualities and personality.

注释
①The sound of a hero is expensive like a bell, and cheap like a gong: a sound of a hero, the sound is full of vigor and agitation.For example, the bell is expensive, and the sound of the bell is loud and deep, exciting and distant, full of masculinity, so it is "expensive".For example, the gong is cheap, the sound of the gong is thin and light, loose and restless, the masculinity is too strong, the femininity is gone, and the balance is lost, so it is "cheap". ② Female voices are expensive like pheasants, and cheap like frogs: female voices are full of femininity and elegance.

Translation
If the "sound" is vigorous and vigorous, as loud and powerful as a big bell, it is noble; if it is as frivolous as the sound of a gong, it is humble.If the "sound" is gentle and gentle, as clear and melodious as a rooster crowing, it is noble; if it is as loud and empty as a field frog crowing, it is humble.Listening from a distance, its voice is vigorous and vigorous, full of masculinity; listening from a close distance, its voice is warm and melodious, full of feminine beauty, when it starts, it feels like flying in the wind, which is pleasant to the body and mind; when it stops Like a luthier playing the piano, he is graceful and comfortable.This is the best in sound.As the saying goes: "Speak loudly without opening your mouth, whisper without showing your teeth." This is the best of the voices.After the sound is made, it is loose and empty, lacking aftertaste, just like the cry of a lone cow in the wilderness; Sentence after sentence, incoherent, endless, shortness of breath; slurring, hesitating, and slurring when speaking, these kinds of "voices" of speech belong to people in the market. Vulgar and vulgar sounds, nothing can compare with the above "good" sounds!
Interpretation
Bells and gongs are male voices, full of masculinity, because their voices are thick and majestic.The sound of the bell is loud and deep, its sound spreads far and wide, and the lingering sound is endless. It can be pleasant to the ear and the heart, so it is "expensive"; while the sound of the gong is cracked and thin, with no aftertaste, piercing and heart-piercing. , so it is "cheap".

Rooster crowing and frog crowing are both female voices, that is, feminine voices, soft and soft, like hearing a flute in the wilderness.However, the sound of "pheasant" is clearer and longer, and the sound moves with the air, with pauses and setbacks, melodious and melodious, so it is "expensive"; Exhausted internally, piercing the ear and cracking the heart, so it is "cheap".

From the above, we can see that no matter male voice or female voice, there are high and low points.Any sound that people feel is beautiful can be included in the "good tone", otherwise it is "bad tone".

"Hearing the voice from a distance is majestic" means that the voice echoes in the valley, which shows that the person has a magnificent heart and bold temperament; The spirit is flying; "stop like clapping the piano", it shows that the person must be leisurely and elegant, calm and graceful.All of the above are the best of "sound", so it is defined as "shangshang".

The so-called sounds like bells and gongs, like pheasants and frogs, all refer to timbre.Whether the tone is loud or deep, it is better to be pure.What is pure?That is, it is not harsh, and there is no noise.The high-pitched ones are melodious like yellow bells, without the feeling of cracking ears; the low-pitched ones are like drums reaching far away, but without the suspicion of hoarseness; No noise in between.

Those whose voices are piercing like sharp knives are extreme, and those whose mouths are hoarse like broken gongs have no hills and valleys in their chests. In this way, everyone is afraid to avoid them, and their fate is of course not good.

Regardless of whether the sound is loud or deep, it is always better to be full of energy in the middle.If the qi is suspended, the voice is like a gossamer, or the person is born with poor constitution, or because of excessive drinking and lust the day after tomorrow, he will eventually be a person with weak dantian.If the physique is not good, the energy will be lacking, the expression will be hesitant, and the character will be timid.

"Big words without opening your lips" (strictly speaking, this is impossible, it should be "big words without opening your lips") is a manifestation of prudence, deep knowledge, and well-cultivated; ", which shows that he is gentle, naive, concise, mature and capable.The above is the best of "sound", so it is defined as "upper".

In the wilderness, a cow sings alone, dull and loose, with no rhyme, the "voice" of a rude and stupid person is roughly the same; The "voice" of human beings is similar to this; as for "words and sentences are connected, chattering sharply", it shows that his speech is incoherent, his voice is not raised, and his person must be naive and shallow, doing nothing; Hesitating, incomprehensible.He must be cowardly and weak, and achieve nothing. The above "voice" is of course inferior.

Whether it's cattle croaking in the wilderness or rats chewing late at night, whether it's chattering or chattering, it's all about rhythm.Rhythm is in terms of the priority of pronunciation.A person with a peaceful mind will be gentle and gentle, neither too fast nor too slow; a narrow-minded person will go from low to high, from slow to hasty, and his tone will rise step by step, and his voice will be aggressive; , intermittent high and low, supplemented by whispering in the ear and exhaling close to the face.

If you start strong and end weak, you must be timid and lack righteousness; chattering endlessly, you are short-sighted and have little knowledge;

Laughter is something that needs special attention when listening to vocal rhythms.Laughter should be melodious, rising and falling slowly, beginning and ending.Those whose voices are like cracking silk and stop abruptly must be cunning and sinister; those whose throats are like a female pheasant and who keep cooing may have a hidden heart and hidden intentions, so we must beware of it.

In Zeng Guofan's view, voice is an external manifestation of a person's inner character, and what kind of character corresponds to what kind of voice seems to be difficult to change.

Listening to the sound is not the way to see a person accurately and comprehensively, but we all know the fact that: men are naturally strong, so their voices are soothing and rough; women are naturally gentle, so their voices are gentle and kind; People's vigor is exhausted, so their voices are loose and gentle; infants and young children's hearts are full, so their voices are quick and clear, and the rest can be roughly understood by analogy.
