The sound of the zither was gentle, and the melody was melodious and smooth. It was like the gentle sea breeze. The waves were layered and surged towards the shore. A clear and beautiful sound rang out in the sky. It was high and low, light and loud. After a few circles, it became low again. Although it was extremely low and thin, every syllable was still clearly audible.
Gradually, pearls and jades occasionally jumped in the low voice, crisp and short, rising and falling, and the complex sound gradually increased, first like a splashing spring, then like a group of people.
Flowers compete for beauty, flowers are in clusters, sandwiched between the birds, they call me
Harmony, the birds gradually left, the spring flowers fell, but the sound of the rain was heard, a desolate and murderous image, the drizzle was continuous, faintly discernible, and finally all was silent.
After the song, Ye Jun pressed his hands on the surface of the zither to stop the sound. He closed his eyes slightly and immersed himself in the music.
The crowd erupted into cheers again. No one expected Ye Jun, who played the guzheng so well, to play the guzheng so well.
Ye Jun stood up and walked to the front of the stage. Qianwei and Ju Jingyi, who were standing beside him, looked at Ye Jun with shining eyes. Qianwei knew that Ye Jun could play the zither, so she could guess that he was good at it.
However, he never expected that he could play the zither so well. Ye Jun's zither skills were no worse than some of the teachers in their school.
Ju Jingyi was also very surprised. She didn't expect Ye Jun, who she hadn't seen for four years, to become so powerful. He was already playing the zither so well that he could even play the zither.
Ju Jingyi couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. She didn't understand this feeling, but she was very happy and proud.
Zhang Yunlei and Supreme Flame were also pleasantly surprised. Supreme Flame said," If I'm not mistaken, this song should be about a gull forgetting its opportunity, right?”
Ye Jun nodded his head and said,"Yes, Teacher Supreme Flame, you're the one who forgets the opportunity."”
Zhang Yunlei also sighed." I only know the song 'Gull Egret Forgets the Machine.' It's quite difficult to play this song. I didn't expect you to know how to play it, and you played it very well. Then let me test you. Do you know the story behind this song?”
Ye Jun nodded and said," I roughly know a little. The Yellow Emperor Chapter of Liezi tells a fable,'There are people on the sea who like gulls. Every morning on the sea, gulls swim from the gulls, and gulls come to stay for a hundred times. His father said,'I heard that gulls swim with you. Take them and I'll play with them.' The next day on the sea, gulls dance but do not go down.'”
After saying that, Ye Jun paused for a moment and looked at the judges. He did not have any objections with them. He continued," The general meaning is that on the distant coast, there is a person who likes seagulls very much. Every morning, he would come to the seaside and play with the seagulls. Seagulls flew in flocks, sometimes there were more than a hundred of them. Later, his father said to him,"I heard that seagulls like to play with you. Take the opportunity to catch a few and let me play with them."”The next day, he went to the sea as usual. He wanted to catch seagulls, but the seagulls only flew and circled in the sky, and refused to land.“
" Wangji " was a Taoist phrase, meaning to forget the heart of calculative and cunning, to talk freely and stand aloof from the world." Gull and Egret Wangji " meant that there was no cunning heart, and that different species could be close to each other. Later, it was said that he lived in seclusion and did not care about the world.
Everyone applauded again. Zhang Yunlei praised," That's right. Ye Jun, you're really knowledgeable. You even know all this. You're really amazing."”
Supreme Flame also said," That's right. I also heard that you often help other contestants, right? They say that you know everything and can give them good advice in any aspect."”
Hearing this, Zhang Yunlei also looked at Ye Jun and asked,"Really?”
Before Ye Jun could say anything, Qianwei stood up and said," It's true. Ye Jun really taught us a lot. He participated in everyone's performance this time. He gave them a lot of suggestions, so we all call him Teacher Ye."”
The three judges below the stage also began to jeer. Zhang Yunlei said,"Teacher Ye, you're really amazing."”
"That's right, Teacher Ye. We can have an exchange when we're free."”
Even Ju Jingyi said to Ye Jun mischievously,"Teacher Ye, you're very powerful, Teacher Ye."”
At this moment, the big screen behind him suddenly went black, and the National Style Hero appeared." Ye Jun and Qianwei's performance just now was very good. It made my blood boil. I feel like I'm going to go to the world with a sword immediately."”
" Moreover, the effects of the two people's performances are different. The guzheng version is like a light cavalry, bright and capable. It looks young and energetic in the charge, but it lacks the courage to stand proudly. It only shows the speed of strength.
However, the zither was different. Even if the battlefield was ever-changing, it had already seen through everything. It was indifferent and invincible. It was calm and open-minded. It displayed the charm and boldness of Power Over the World, steadiness, and elegance!”
"Both of them are especially good. Everyone can see that.”
At this time, Zhang Yunlei interrupted,"Then, other than the evaluation, what other knowledge does our National Style Hero have for us?"”
The National Style Swordsman did not panic." Then let's talk about the musical instruments that the two of them used. First, the guzheng. In ancient times, the guzheng was also called the Yao Guzheng, the Silver Guzheng, the Cloud Guzheng, the Plain Guzheng, and so on. With the development of history, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the guzheng gradually spread from the northwest region of China to all parts of the country. It was integrated with local opera, rap, and folk music, forming various schools with strong local styles. There are six schools of Henan Zheng, Shandong Zheng, Chaozhou Zheng, Hakka Zheng, Zhejiang Zheng and Inner Mongolia Zheng, each of which has its own unique music and performance methods.
The shape of the zither was rectangular, with one string and one note. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were thirteen strings. At first, there were twenty-five strings, and then gradually increased to sixteen strings, eighteen strings, twenty-one strings, and so on. At present, the most commonly used string was twenty-one strings.”
" Then, the zither, also known as the Yao zither, the Jade zither, the Sitong zither, and the Seven-string zither, is a traditional instrument of the Celestial Empire. It has a history of at least 3,500 years. Ancient books recorded that Fuxi made the zither, and there were also legends of Shennong, Huangdi, and Tang Yao. Shun made the zither five strings, King Wen added one string, and King Wu added one string to make seven strings. It could be seen that the Guqin culture had a long history and was extensive and profound. The zither had 13 emblems that symbolized temperament, and it was also a ritual instrument and musical instrument. It belonged to the silk of the eight tones. The zither had a wide range, a deep tone, and a lingering sound. Since ancient times,"qin" referred to it specifically. In the 1920s, it was renamed guqin to distinguish it from piano. There were two sayings about the zither: "a scholar does not remove the zither for no reason" and "left zither and right book". The zither was ranked first among the four traditional arts of the Chinese culture," zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting." It was regarded as a representative of elegance and was also an accompaniment instrument for scholars when they sang. Since ancient times, it had always been an essential knowledge and compulsory subject for many scholars. The guqin was featured in a large number of poems and essays. Ji Kang's "Fu on the Qin" said: Among all kinds of instruments, the virtue of the Qin is the best. The guqin was not only a musical instrument, but also a spiritual way of life for scholars to cultivate their bodies and minds with the guqin. Alright, that's all I have to say."
Zhang Yunlei also applauded and said,"Alright, thank you, National Style Hero."”
Then, the host said," Alright, now, the three judges will evaluate the classes of our two contestants.”
The three of them talked for a while. In the end, Ju Jingyi announced," Okay. The result of our discussion is that Ye Jun's class will remain the same. He will still be in the golden class. Qianwei will be upgraded from the silver class to the golden class." Alright, let's congratulate the two contestants.”
After that, Qianwei and Ye Jun bowed and left the stage.
