Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 84
However, Yang Chao has no interest in rehearsing symphony music, he just introduced this form, or even a different form, because ancient China has long developed its own brilliant art of group music.

As early as the pre-Qin period, China was still an aristocratic culture, and temperament was indispensable in the cultivation of nobles at that time. At that time, nobles listened to elegant music, the music of elegance and integrity, and the core was large-scale musical instruments such as chime bells.

Gagaku is not only performed in formal occasions such as sacrifices, but also performed in the court to entertain guests from various countries. Which country's "music" is performed well will even make people recognize that the country has a higher status.

At that time, the country with the best performing arts and music was precisely a country like the rich and rich Lu, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius.

It gradually developed to the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the elegant music in the court music gradually receded, but there were still large-scale music performances. In the Tang Dynasty, large-scale music such as Qin Wang's Breaking the Battle was especially popular.

During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, this kind of large-scale music performances gradually disappeared, probably because the Mongolian emperors did not like the music of the Central Plains, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were born in the folk and had no musical literacy.

In this way, in later generations, some people even thought that Chinese large-scale music had been lost, and they wanted to go to Japan and South Korea to find old Chinese music.

In fact, the large-scale ancient music of the Ming Dynasty was not completely lost, but gradually withdrew from the court.

However, in a family like the Confucian Mansion, which has been passed down through the ages, there are still some, but most of them are just sacrificial music.

Moreover, too heavy and serious gage music is not suitable for performing in brothels. Guests come here for enjoyment, not for education. No one wants to nurture their souls here. They just come to relax and appreciate.

So Yang Chao still hopes to play some relaxing music.

At that time, when I said this idea, I thought I was borrowing the concept of symphony, but I was misunderstood by a few little girls, especially the two smart sisters. They first thought that Yang Chao wanted to perform gala music, saying that they were teaching Fang Sili didn't learn it, and later felt that what Yang Chao wanted was not elegant music. After thinking about it, they asked Yang Chao if it was Daqu.

Yang Chao asked them what Daqu was. After some explanations, Yang Chao knew that Daqu was a form of music.

Daqu was formed in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, so it was also called Tang and Song Daqu. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was absorbed a lot by Zaju.

However, unlike pure music such as Western symphony and Chinese gala music, Chinese Daqu is performed with singing and dancing. It is a large-scale music and dance, and it can also be performed separately with musical instruments. The form is more flexible.

It was already very mature in the Han Dynasty, and the Yuefu in the Han Dynasty was dedicated to performing this, so many famous Yuefu poems appeared.

It reached its peak in the Tang and Song Dynasties, accompanied by Tang and Song poetry also reached its peak, such as the famous songs Lanling King Enters the Battle (Qin King Breaks the Battle), Spring River Flower and Moon Night, etc.

After the war at the end of the Song Dynasty, many Daqu disappeared, and after the Yuan Dynasty ruled for a century, Daqu further disappeared.

In the Ming Dynasty, basically few people listened to it, and few people knew how to perform it. These little girls from the Jiaofang Division had never been in contact with it.

But the shadow of Daqu still exists. For example, many popular lyrics and tunes are actually a section of Daqu back then, which is equivalent to the climax of a song, separated separately, and then hung a sign.

Although Yang Chao felt it was a pity, his music level was actually not high.

Even these girls who practiced since childhood are not as good.

In later generations, he was just pretending to be aggressive in front of girls who were less ignorant than himself. It was too far away to pretend to be in front of brothel musicians in the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Chao simply does not have the ability to restore the performance of Tang and Song Daqu, and he has no interest in restoring it, because since he has been eliminated, it means that there is no market. Yuan and Ming dramas became popular, and that is the reason for the folk market.

So Yang Chao just wants to use the form of Daqu to arrange a new art performance. Yang Chao always believes that in the field of art, it is extremely important to innovate.

Just like a singer with good singing skills, it is impossible to become famous by covering other people's old songs. Even the famous prostitutes in Qinhuai River need to have their own famous songs, otherwise they will not be popular.

Therefore, Gu Mei is very envious of the long poem written by Yang Chao to Li Xiangjun. In fact, what she doesn't know is that Yang Chao didn't write that poem specially for Li Xiangjun, but was tricked by Wang Xiao into writing it down, and then sent it to Mei Xianglou.

The performance on the stage continued, after a hundred girls played for a while, Gu Mei continued to play.

"Brother Hu, this song is called "Chu Han", you can also call her "House of Flying Daggers"."

While listening, Yang Chao explained to Hu Quan beside him that he knew that Hu Quan had no rhythm.

The pipa song of Flying Daggers is very famous in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty it was not called "Ambush from Ten Daggers", but "Chu Han".

This piece of music is most suitable to be played with the pipa, which can fully express the characteristics of the instrument.

A pipa, with this piece of music, can actually perform the posture of thousands of troops.

If future generations want to perform magnificent music, they generally need combination music in the form of symphony.

So Yang Chao chose this song Flying Daggers as the opening song, which is actually quite appropriate, especially with 100 people accompanying Gu Mei, and Yang Chao's well-designed mechanism under the stage, it can show a kind of momentum.

"Brother Yang."

Hu Quan responded.

Yang Chao nodded and continued to appreciate.

He was already making preparations in his mind, how to continue to carry forward, these hundred girls are all average in appearance, but their skills are good, so it is very suitable for accompaniment, but Yang Chao doesn't just want them to accompany famous prostitutes like Gu Mei.

Yang Chao is also very interested in another form of Daqu, the combination of music and dance. If there are musicians to accompany and perform drama, I don't know if it will be effective.

It's just about time, Yang Chao has not had time to rehearse, because there is no famous actor of his own in Jinchai Building, famous actors can't be bought, they can only be cultivated by themselves, so it is impossible to rehearse, after all, invite a famous prostitute like Gu Mei to perform for a day Yes, if they are invited to rehearse in the Jinchai Tower, given their status, it is impossible to agree.

Even thought it was an insult to them.

So Yang Chao could only temporarily give up this tempting plan.

It's just that this made Yang Chao feel that Jinchai Building still needs to have its own town building for famous prostitutes, otherwise it will be easy to be controlled by others.

Of course, Yang Chao did not waver in his plan to turn Jinchailou into a brand and a platform.

"Brother Yang. Xu Zhongxiao has entered Beijing!"

At this time, Hu Quan finally spoke out, and Yang Chao told him to help keep an eye on Xu Zhongxiao. Hu Quan also knew that Xu Zhongxiao had harmed the Yang family, so he kept paying attention. This time he got the news that Xu Zhongxiao was going to Beijing. I told Yang Chao, but that day I suddenly felt that I was a little far away from Yang Chao, and I forgot everything in a daze.
