But soon, Cheng Youlan exhaled a mouthful of smoke and smiled.
"Perhaps many people think that this statement is too one-sided. Don't we have a few suona students in our school?
However, this old suona craftsman had said that many people nowadays were at most suona performers, not suona craftsmen.
This suona craftsman never left the suona. He used the suona as his livelihood. He played the suona for a lifetime and learned the suona for a lifetime.
In the past, the places in China where suona was used the most were the weddings and funerals in the north, including the high slope where the old suona craftsman lived.
Perhaps you think that the suona is difficult to reach the elegant hall, but it was that old suona craftsman who gave me a thick notebook.
There were nearly a hundred suona tunes in the notebook!
Perhaps I don't dare to say anything else, but one of the most difficult songs is called Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix.
Just listening to that old suona craftsman talk about this song makes my scalp go numb. This song must be a shocking song in the entire world, let alone China!”
"Hundred Birds…Morning Phoenix?" Ge Xiu asked in confusion. He seemed to have heard this song before.
"Yes, all birds pay homage to the phoenix." Although the two of them had already reached the parking lot, Cheng Youlan had no intention of getting into the car. She continued," Those guys who look down on Chinese folk music always laugh at us and say that our suona is a hooligan among musical instruments.
He felt that the sound of the suona was either too sinister or too festive. It could not get rid of the word vulgar!
Actually, it wasn't. Among all kinds of musical instruments, the suona was king!
When the suona sounded, hundreds of birds paid homage to the phoenix.
The suona was the king of musical instruments, and this hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix was the king of suona music!”
Ge Xiu's brain was running out." I seem to have some impression of the song. It's just a little festive. It's not as mysterious as you said.”
Cheng Youlan said," You're not talking about the real birds paying homage to the phoenix. Did the version you heard have birds chirping?”
"Bird cry? Was this crazy? Why was there a bird chirping in the song?!”Ge Xiu felt that Old Cheng was acting weird tonight.
"Not only that, but there are also 100 types!
The hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix you heard before was simplified. I've seen the real score of the hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix!
It's very different from the hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix that we often hear.
The song was divided into several segments, strung together to tell the story of a phoenix rising from the ashes and a hundred birds worshipping it!
The music was both happy and sad, just like…just like an epic movement from the West!
Joy was joy, sorrow was great sorrow!
The suona mimicked the chirping of a hundred birds that were commonly seen in China. Legend had it that during the performance, it would attract the birds of the season to fly to the place where the suona was being played...
Just thinking about this scene made one fascinated.
With such a song, who would China's folk music be afraid of?”
Ge Xiumei was amused." You make it sound so mysterious. Have you heard of it?”
" I... haven't heard of it yet..." Cheng Youlan saw Ge Xiu's incredulous smile and quickly explained," I haven't heard of it, but that old man has heard of it. He told me about it."
Would the old suona craftsman, who had half a foot in the coffin, lie?”
Ge Xiu still couldn't believe it." Even if that old man didn't lie to you, think about it. He's only heard of it.
Do you think that the kid who plays the suona knows how to do it?”
"Yes! "If he can imitate a pig's cry, he can definitely imitate a bird's cry…" Cheng Youlan said confidently!
Ge Xiu shook his head." I don't think so. Besides, you're making it sound too uncertain. Forget about a hundred kinds of bird calls, can you name a hundred kinds of birds in China?
Not to mention this folk legend, even the songs recorded in the literature were still not known to exist.
What Erhu song,"A Good Night"? What Erhu song,"Two Springs Reflecting the Moon"?
There were also pipa songs about the struggle between Chu and Han, Liu Bang's 'Besieged on All Sides' and Xiang Yu's 'Overlord Strikes Off Armor'.
Oh, right, there's also your zither.
What broken zither and broken string, the "High Mountain and Flowing Water" that no one knew, and what indignant and unyielding, noble killing song "Guangling San".
Even the shakuhachi that we are debating about is clearly a national musical instrument of Japan, but the literature records that it was passed down from China. Then what about the Zen song that is known as a lifetime, a tone and a Buddha, the ancestor of the shakuhachi song,"Void Bell"?
Did these so-called 'lost' ancient and folk songs really exist?
If it really existed, why didn't any of them survive?!”
"Enough!" Suddenly, Cheng Youlan raised her voice." Old Ge, I've played the zither my entire life, studied Chinese music my entire life, and taught music my entire life!
I have never doubted this. As for why they have not been passed down?
The current environment of our school, and even the current environment of the entire Huaxia, doesn't that explain everything?
If it weren't for the internet, would you believe that these songs with few digits wouldn't have been passed down?!”
Ge Xiu didn't give in to Old Man Cheng." What if it's just a legend?
Just like what you said about the real birds paying homage to the phoenix, it's just a legend. Legend has it that some people know it, and some people have heard of it.
Legend has it that 'someone met a soulmate in a mountain and a stream, and then the person who listened to the zither died. The person who played the zither broke the strings and never played for the rest of his life, so there was the song of mountains and streams.'
Legend has it that the blind old zither player spent his entire life in poverty and poverty, turning what he saw, heard, felt, and thought into heart-wrenching and tear-jerking notes, and thus created a tear-jerking song that lasted for thousands of years, Two Springs Reflecting the Moon.
What if these are all legends?"
"Shut up! The noisiest, believe it or not, I'll knock out your teeth!”Cheng Youlan glared at him.
"Go ahead and fight. Look at what you're capable of. You're already so old. What's wrong?”Ge Xiu was so angry that he laughed.
After all, they were old friends for decades. It was true that they were angry, but it was also true that they made up quickly.
Cheng Youlan ignored her old friend and opened the car door." Think about how you're going to apologize to me tomorrow. Maybe I'll forgive you then!"”
After saying that, he slammed the door shut, started the fire, and left.
Ge Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The students in the school all thought that Dean Cheng, who played the zither, was as elegant as his name, but in reality, it was not like that.
After getting to know you, you're no different from an old urchin.
The reason why Ge Xiu said that was because he saw that his old friend had lived too hard in this life.
It could be said that this group of people was obsessed with folk music and firmly believed that ancient literature or folk legends existed.
He spent his entire life investigating and searching for the Chinese legacy.
But after so many years, there was no progress.
However, the few nondescript songs that he had reconstructed from the literature were far from what everyone had expected…
…………
In Room 430, Su Ming had finished two bottles of high-alcohol liquor.
One bottle was drunk before Su Ming played the suona. The other bottle was filled by Elephant when he saw that Su Ming was playing the suona halfway. He went to get the glass and realized that it was empty, so he refilled it.
Su Ming had already put away his suona.
Su Ming's face was only a little red, but his eyes were even more energetic. He was not drunk at all!
It seemed that the two pounds of 65 degrees did not manage to stun Su Ming.
On the contrary, Su Ming made use of the alcohol to stew Wang William.
Although they were far away and couldn't see what happened clearly, some students had just posted a video of the entire process on the forum.
After watching the video, the elephant began to size up Su Ming with admiration in its small eyes.
"Su Ming, you're awesome! You can drink more than my father!"
Northeasterners might not be convinced of other things, but their alcohol tolerance was still many times higher than his. He could not be convinced.
The elephant felt that his alcohol tolerance was even more convincing than Su Ming's suona.
Monkey slapped the elephant's head again." What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't this our other father?”
The elephant turned around and glared.
Monkey looked at his small body, then at the elephant's muscular body and admitted defeat." I'm just joking, I'm just joking…"
Su Ming smiled when he saw this scene." Elephant, I'm sorry. I finished two bottles of your wine. I'll buy two bottles to return to you tomorrow.”
The elephant waved his hand." This wine is not worth much. I still have a few bottles. We're all brothers, so there's no need to be so polite!"”
Su Ming shook his head.
A favor was a favor, and a gift was a gift. Even though he knew that the elephant was not being polite and was sincere, he still had to pay back what he owed.
Seeing that Su Ming was insistent, the elephant did not refuse.
Suddenly, he thought of something else and asked," Ming Ming, there's an old man who asked you to look for him tomorrow. Do you want to go?"”
At this moment, Monkey came over." That's right, Ming Ming.
I think you're too handsome tonight!
Especially the part where you asked, it was simply explosive!”
After saying that, Monkey imitated Su Ming's tone and puffed out his small chest that was as thin as ribs.
"Do you have suona? Do you have a pipa? Do you have a flute? Gongs, drums, cymbals, cymbals, zither, zheng, xiao, xun, are there?
Are these the only musical instruments in China?
Crying Emperor Heaven? Play it?"
The elephant followed suit tacitly." Not only that, play him a song!”
"Ah! You're simply that…simply!
A song called Crying Emperor Heaven!
He brought along a group of folk musicians and sent that bastard William Wang away.”After Monkey finished learning this paragraph, he no longer knew how to describe it with voice.
"That's right, Ming Ming. Everyone is talking about you on the forum now.
I call you the God of Musical Instruments!" Elephant said as he looked at his phone.
At this point, the elephant almost forgot about the previous question. Seeing that Su Ming did not answer, it repeated it again.
"Ming Ming, that old man is the dean of the folk music department.
He told you to look for him tomorrow. Do you want to go?”
Oh?
Su Ming was stunned. He had not seen the videos posted by the students, so he did not know the old man's identity.
But in the end, he did hear a voice full of energy telling him to look for him tomorrow.
So, should he go or not…
