First, it is said that Xuanzong boarded Sanxiang Post and saw Daughter Mountain (the legendary fairy mountain), which inspired him.
The second statement is based on Tang Yaohui: In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty changed some music imported from the Western Regions because he was too diligent in carving stones, which was adapted from the Sanskrit;
The third is a compromise between the first two statements. It is believed that the first part (preface) of this song was written according to fantasy after Xuanzong saw his daughter returning to the palace at the back of the mountain. The second half (Song and Break) is composed of Indian Sanskrit tones presented by Yang, the envoy of Hexi.
Cai Yu was cited as a proud work by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. At first it was just a performance in court. In the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Yang Yuhuan first met in Huaqingchi, and Tang Xuanzong played colorful feathers as a lesson. At that time, Zhang Dachen said that Huaqing Palace said: "The night is heavy and the sky is still young, and the blue clouds dance; A space is empty, and the moon is full of Lushan Palace. " Colorful feathers were popular in Kaiyuan and Tianbao years. After the Tianbao Rebellion, the imperial court showed no performance.
Because of the beautiful melody and exquisite conception, all provinces and towns rehearsed one after another, so all the literati in the Tang Dynasty sang or recorded. Later, with the decline and collapse of the Tang Dynasty, the famous song Nishang turned out to be Silent. In fact, by the middle Tang Dynasty, this song had been forgotten by many people. In the Five Dynasties, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, got a residual score. After Zhao Hui, Zhou Ehuang and musician Cao Sheng searched for sounds based on music scores, pieced them together into songs, and once arranged and rehearsed them, but it was no longer original.
During the period of Bingwu (1 186) in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Baishi lived in Changsha, and once Deng Zhurong-feng stumbled upon eighteen passages of the music score of Up-regulating Nishang. He added a new word to the first paragraph of "preface", that is, "the preface of the dress is the first", which was preserved together with the music score. The exact words are as follows:
At the age of five, Bingwu stayed in Changsha and went to Zhu Rong. Because of the joy of its shrine gods, it is called Huangdi Salt and Su Hexiang. He also got eighteen Shang tunes of Gong Yue Gu Shu, all of which were empty and wordless. According to Shen Shi's music law "A Guide to Nishang", this is a business tune; Lotte's poem says that "six questions are out of order", which is unique. Who is unknown? However, the syllable is elegant, unlike this song. I was overwhelmed and made a preface, which was spread all over the world. Give Fang a cursory look, feel this ancient voice, and don't know the resentment in his words.
Gao Ting is looking forward to it, but Jiang Lian hasn't come back yet, but he is ill, but he has no strength. What's more, the fans are getting thinner and thinner, and the clothes are getting looser and looser at first. Time passes by. Sigh apricot beam, double face as a guest. Where are people? A faint moonlight seems to shine with color.
Lonely, singing on the wall. Transfer letters and clear your worries. Thoughts on young waves. In the flute, Guanshan, Liuxia Fangmo, falling red, no information. Dark water, trickling. Wandering for a long time, what's the point now, lying drunk by the wine.
As can be seen from the above, Baishi's poem "colorful plumage" is divided into two parts, and the lyrics are long and short sentences, which are obviously influenced by the music of the words. However, the tone is simple, and the music often appears minus seven (B7), which embodies the typical style of Shang Diao in Tang Dynasty. The artistic conception of the song is elegant and gloomy, especially when two (B7) tones are matched with the lyrics of Where Are People and Far Away for a Long Time, which deepens the emotional color. Li Longji was an emperor in the mid-Tang Dynasty and a famous "romantic son of heaven" in history. He was surrounded by the traitor Yang in his later period, regardless of state affairs, but he still made outstanding contributions to music art.
Among the ancient kings, Li Longji loved music. Li Longji's research on music should be the most in-depth and proficient, and he can play all kinds of musical instruments.
