My rearview mirror can change my life

Temporarily getting rid of his past thoughts, boiling a pot of tea, Zhao Qingyun sat down at the low wooden table again. Disciple Li Xinyi's tablet table was on the table, and the live broadcast was continuing to play on the screen.

I saw that the girl on the screen finished playing, smiled gently, adjusted her sitting posture, and began to enter a new topic: "Are you still satisfied with the performance just now?" After getting the affirmation of the barrage, she smiled slightly: "Then according to yesterday's agreement, I will take this opportunity to continue to popularize the knowledge of folk music to everyone." Today I would like to introduce to you the knowledge of ruler notation! The

more Zhao Qingyun looked at it, the more cute this girl became.

Zhao Qingyun has never found a partner in his life, and he has no children. That's why he cherishes young people in the industry. A half-grown child like Lingling is even more loved by him.

As the girl asked, a series of curious and expectant expressions and words immediately appeared in the barrage: "What is the ruler spectrum?" "Curious! "Little sister, please advise! "

There is a smile on the girl's face, as if leading the audience into a new world." The so-called gong ruler notation is a kind of music notation recorded in Chinese characters in ancient times, which is very different from the five-line notation or simple notation used in modern times. "

The barrage immediately appeared with a variety of expressions and questions." With kanji? "Then this score looks like reading an article?"

"In the past, in our ancient times, the score was not written with a stave, nor with a simple score, but with a written description, which is the unique ruler notation of our Dragon Kingdom." At this point, the girl paused, making sure the audience could follow along with her explanation. "The commonly used ruler notation generally uses the words 'he, four, one, shang, ruler, gong, fan, six, five, and b' to indicate the pitch, and this kind of word is also used as a roll call. If the preceding passage is sung in Western musical terms, it should be sung as 'sol, la, si, do, re, mi, fa (or Fa), sol, la, si'. The

barrage immediately responded: "Is it a simple score of Chinese characters?" "Oh, that's easy!" "Be humble in front and listen carefully!"

The girl continued: "That's true, using Chinese characters to write notation. Writing a score is the same as writing an essay! A piece of music can take four or five thousand words to describe clearly! It looks splendid and spectacular!

Some audience members with a basic vocal background asked, "What about high octaves?" Do ancient songs also have treble marks? The

girl smiled and replied, "Of course there are treble marks!" The treble symbol of our ancients is the radical!

"For example, if an octave of pitch is raised, the last stroke of the staff can be raised upwards, or the word '亻' can be added to the side of the word. For example, the octave of the character 'Shang' can be written as 'Shang' or '仩'. Conversely, if a note is lowered by an octave, the last stroke of the staff can be skimmed downward, such as 'fan', 'gong', etc. The

barrage asked, "What if it's two octaves higher?" You can't write two radicals, can you? The

girl held up a finger and said, "Of course not." Don't forget that we're using deep Chinese characters! If the pitch is raised by two octaves, then the last stroke can be double-raised, or a partial '彳', such as '上'. In the same way, if the pitch is lowered by two octaves, the last stroke can be double-skimmed, as in 'up'. The

girl's explanation was clear and to the point, and the audience said that they had gained a lot. It's amazing! The music score of Chinese characters, the side is a symbol! "Wow, I see, I've learned Xi!" "It feels like the door to a new world has been opened!" Such barrages keep emerging.

There are also some barrages that joke: "The young lady says every time, 'We are ancients, as if she herself is an ancient!'" Ha ha! "Maybe that's the case! Look at the dress, she just crossed over!

Zhao Qingyun looked at the screen, his eyes sharp and deep. Although he already has a high position in the guqin world, he has always maintained a heart of curiosity.

Of course, he already knew this knowledge, but from the girl, he experienced the joy of learning the Xi anew, and learning new things.

"This young man is really brave." Zhao Qingyun thought to himself while watching the live broadcast, watching the girl explain the basic concepts and applications of the ruler spectrum in easy-to-understand language. "At a young age, dare to take a big class online!" He couldn't help but smile, such a young man deserves encouragement. Spreading ancient cultures in a modern way requires not only courage, but also a sense of responsibility.

And what is even more commendable is that all the languages of girls' popular science are extremely easy to understand. He understands that this is exactly what it takes to appeal to a younger audience. This is also a way of cultural inheritance, which is not fundamentally different from what he has done, and even better!

The barrage asked again: "What about the rhythm?"

"Everyone knows an idiom - one board and one eye!" In the notation, the symbol used to mark the rhythm is called the 'banyan'. The girl's voice was still clear, and every word was accurately conveyed to the audience.

"Typically, the 'board' represents a downbeat, while the 'eye' represents a downbeat. According to such rules, we have various forms of board eyes, such as loose boards, flow boards, one board and one eye, one board and three eyes, and one board and three eyes with a free board. "

Some emojis began to appear in the barrage, indicating that the audience was listening attentively, and some people were taking notes."

The girl paused for a moment, then further explained: "One board and one eye is a more common form of rhythm, which consists of a board and an eye, and the overall beat is 2/4 of the beat. One board and three eyes are a 4/4 beat of a plate and three eyes. There are many others, so I won't mention them here. The

girl paused to give the audience time to digest the information, and then continued: "It is worth mentioning that in fact, many ancient scores do not have banyan symbols! These texts mainly describe gestures and fingerings, and there are no specific rhythm markers. The

barrage immediately asked: "Then how to play this kind of music?" "Can you just play blindly? Blindfolded? The

girl smiled: "This kind of score is indeed more difficult to reproduce. When later generations play according to this kind of ruler notation, in fact, they can only pop up a rough outline. But! She held up a finger again: "This is also the charm of ancient songs!" The pianist can only understand the artistic conception of the song through the text, and taste and figure it out according to the melody and artistic conception of the song, which is usually called 'playing music' in the guqin world!

More expressions and comments of surprise and approval appeared in the barrage: "I see! "Ruler notation is a complex art! "So were all ancient musicians masters of improvisation? The

girl smiled and nodded, "Yes! It can be understood so much! Because of this characteristic of the ruler notation, the same piece will be played in different hands, and the rhyme and taste will be different. This is why we say that guqin music attaches more importance to 'meaning' – it is not only a combination of notes and rhythms, but also an expression of each player's personal emotions and understanding.

"So, when you hear different people playing the same guqin song, don't be too surprised by the differences between them. Because this difference is part of the beauty and profundity of guqin music. The

barrage on the screen seemed to be a colorful storm, and all kinds of gifts and emojis were colorful and enthusiastic. The audience was fascinated by the girl's explanation and looked forward to her next performance.

Zhao Qingyun's eyes became more focused, and he noticed every subtle movement on the girl's fingers, as well as the concentration and enthusiasm on her face. "Uh-huh, well, it can't be wrong!" Zhao Qingyun nodded secretly in his heart, then picked up the teapot next to him and poured himself a cup of hot tea. "It's exactly the same, it's exactly the same!" He took a leisurely sip, savoring the double pleasure of tea and music. At this moment, he felt that the future guqin industry might have a new hope.

And he himself has a new hope.

This child was given to me and Fang Xiaomei by God! He couldn't help but think.

He immediately called Li Xinyi: "Xinyi, you haven't slept yet, you can contact this little woman tomorrow and tell her about the letter!" Yes, I have only recommended her alone in all these years! It's going to be accepted over there. After

hanging up the phone, the live broadcast basically ended.

The girl smiled and said to the screen: "That's all for today's live broadcast, we'll see you tomorrow at the same time!" Turning

off the tablet, Zhao Yunqing drank the cooled tea in one gulp, walked out of the house, looked at the moon stars outside the window, and smiled slightly.

"Xiaomei, it seems that our old wood has to keep up with the pace of the times. Zhao Qingyun smiled and muttered to himself, but his eyes revealed a hint of expectation and new challenges. "If you're still around, you'll be proud of her."
