1, Qi Huangong clock
Zhong is a famous piano in Zhou Dynasty. The sound of this piano is as loud as a clock and a horn, and it is deafening. It is said that Boya, an outstanding pianist in ancient times, once played the "trumpet" piano. Later, the "horn" spread to Qi Huangong. At that time, he collected many famous pianos, but he especially cherished this "bell" piano. Once he asked his men to sing on the horn for fun, and he rang the horn bell to respond. The horns and sad songs moved the waiters on both sides to tears.
2. Beams around Chu Zhuangwang
Around the beam is a Chinese vocabulary, and Pinyin is ràoliáng, one of the "four famous pianos". It also describes the beautiful singing and lingering sound. Liezi said: "Once upon a time, Korea and Hubei were in Eastern Qi, lacking food, crossing, singing and pretending to eat. I went, but the voice lingered for three days. "
3. Sima Xiangru is green.
It is said that Sima Xiangru in Han Dynasty was "green" and a treasure. Sima Xiangru's superb piano skills and the wonderful timbre of Luqi made the piano of Luqi famous for a while. Later, "Luqi" became another name for Guqin. According to the historical evolution, Luqi is black with a faint green color, like a green vine winding around an ancient forest, hence the name "Luqi".
4. Cai Yong's focal tail
Jiao is one of the four famous pianos in ancient China. Compared with the other three pianos, "Jiao Wei" has a straightforward name, but its life experience is unusual, which is why it was created by Cai Yong, a famous person in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "The Biography of Cai Yong in the Later Han Dynasty": "Some people in the State of Wu burned tung for food, and only heard the sound of fierce fire. Knowing that its wood is good, it is cut into a piano because of invitation. If its voice is beautiful and its tail is burnt, it is called mating Qin Yan. " Later, Qin was called Jiao Tong.
Jiao, the hometown of famous pianos
On September 26th, 2009, Professor Feng Guangyu, President of China National Instrumental Music Society, officially declared Liyang as the hometown of Jiao, one of the four ancient pianos in China, at a large-scale national music festival concert with the theme of "Qin, Zheng and Bamboo Ode to China" held in liyang city, Jiangsu Province. Previously, China National Instrumental Music Society organized experts to consult historical materials, and collected them on the spot at Cai Yong Reading Platform in Guanshan, Liyang, confirming that Liyang was the place where Cai Yong personally made the symphonic piano in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Chinese guqin is the intangible cultural heritage of the world, and one of the four guqin has a mating piano. This guqin was made by Cai Yong, a famous writer and musician in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to historical records, Cai Yong was a fugitive from the rivers and seas. He had been away from the martial arts club 12 years and lived in seclusion in the area of Yan Guan and Liyang Huangshan bordering Wu Chu. Legend has it that Cai Yong once grabbed an unfinished piece of paulownia wood in a farmhouse kitchen in Guanshan. He made a lyre according to the length and shape of paulownia wood, and the timbre was amazing. He named the lyre "Jiaowei" because the end of the lyre was burnt.
There are still patches of paulownia in Guanshan area. On a hill between Guanshan and Xianshan, there is the site of Cai Yong Reading Platform, and the story of Cai Yong is still circulating among local villagers. Professor Feng Guangyu, president of China National Instrumental Music Society, said that Liyang was the discovery and confirmation of Jiao's hometown, and it was a great event in the field of Chinese guqin that revealed the eternal mystery of Jiao's hometown.
