Top Ten Famous Songs: 1. The dialogue content of "Qiao Qiao Qiao"

"Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao" is also a Qin song, sung with the accompaniment of the Qin. The lyrics recorded here are as follows:

The fisherman asked the woodcutter: "What do you want from me?"

The woodcutter answered the fisherman: "There are several rafters in thatched hut, green trees and green mountains, coming and going; life. Not in the west; the ax is tinkling, and the mountains are in the clouds."

Yu asked again: "If the grass and trees are in spring, the business will be unstoppable. p> The woodcutter replied again: "Wood can make fire, and fire can cook things. Fire and wood, who in the world has not existed in ancient and modern times? Moreover, the nature of mountain trees is to grow and wither; after cutting them down, they will grow younger; after harvesting them, the branches and leaves will become more mature. Mao."

Yu Nai smiled and said: "If you seek wealth because of wood, your heart will be full of desires; When Mai Chen was not rich and powerful, he carried a book and a scroll to read. As soon as the chariots and horses were galloping, the cud and grass were gone. How could I not know that I am now holding the ke to cut the ke, and the clouds, dragons, winds and tigers will eventually meet? Clouds, dragons, winds and tigers will eventually meet."

Qiao said: "How can it be easy?"

The fisherman looked at it and replied: "One pole, one fishing, one boat; all over the world, you can do whatever you want. I am free to roam; I will be happy when I catch a fish flying through the willows."

The woodcutter said: "When people are alive, they enjoy themselves in peace. When fishes are in the water, they flutter their fins and drum their tails, but they are not alert. Excessive use of Xu Ji, how much harm can be done to one's life?"

Yu also said: "I don't care about profit, but I love the beauty of the country."

Qiao said. He said: "Are you not determined to fish vertically? You have no greed for profit and just sit at home and chant. Now I am an otter on the edge of the rock. How can I forget my own interests and enjoy the moonlight?"

Yu Nai said happily: "Lu Wang was back then. On the shore of the Wei River, half a roll of silk fiber appeared on the sea and the sky was clear; one day I met King Wen and asked him to load his chariot and deliver it to Quejing. He hit his shoulder and said to him: "You are in the river and I am in the mountain. It seems that the two things are the same. I rest my shoulders, stop fishing, and talk when we meet. Don't compare the mountains and rivers. I am a son. Don't argue anymore. I am not a son. Don't talk in vain." It would be better to get a carp with red scales and a smiling face newly steamed by fire."

"How much joy can there be in life"

2 High Mountains and Flowing Waters

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", which was written around the third century BC, also made a similar statement in "Benwei Pian". Record: "Bo Ya plays the harp, Zhong Ziqi listens to it, Fang plays the harp and aims at Mount Tai. Zhong Ziqi says: 'How good it is to play the harp! It's as tall as Mount Tai'. When I was young, I aimed at the flowing water. Zhong Ziqi said "The harp is as good as flowing water." When Zhong Ziqi died, Boya broke the harp and stopped playing the harp for the rest of his life, thinking that he would never be able to play the harp again. "Guangling San", also known as "Guangling Zhixi", is a guqin piece with a relatively exciting melody. According to Liu Dongsheng's "A Brief History of Chinese Music", "Guangling San" was produced around the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that the famous song "Guangling San" originated from Nie Zheng's assassination of the Prime Minister of Han, and became unparalleled because of Ji Kang's punishment. Therefore, behind the ancient song "Guangling San", there are actually two allusions to Nie Zheng and Ji Kang.

The various sections of "Guangling San" are Jingli (Hometown of Nie Zheng), Quhan, Suishen, Hanzhi, Lieutenant Woman, Shen Ming, Throwing the Sword, Junji, Wei Xing, and The whole process of Nie Zheng's assassination of the Korean Prime Minister is roughly consistent.

"Historical Records Volume 86 Biography of the Assassin 26" records that Nie Zheng was a famous warrior of the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, there was a feud between the Korean Minister Yan Sui (also known as Zhongzi) and the Korean Prime Minister Han Pup (also known as Xia Lei). Yan Zhongzi spent a lot of money trying to bribe Nie Zheng to assassinate Xia Lei. Nie Zheng was originally a "dog butcher" in the market. He wanted to support his old mother, so he refused Yan Zhongzi's generous gift. Later, Nie Zheng's mother passed away. After Nie Zheng buried his mother, he told Yan Zhongzi that he was originally a member of the market, but Yan Zhongzi, as the "prince of the princes", traveled thousands of miles and drove here to invite her with a large sum of money. Nie Zheng naturally wanted to repay this courtesy, so he "will use it for those who know him" and vowed to repay Yan Zhongzi to the death.

Yan Zhongzi said that his enemy was Han Xiang Xia Lei. He has always wanted to hire an assassin to kill Xia Lei. But Xialei is the uncle of the Korean king, has many clans, and is heavily defended, so it may not be easy to succeed. Nie Zheng immediately agreed to Yan Zhongzi's request.

Nie Zheng went to the capital of South Korea alone with his sword in hand. After arriving at the capital, Han Xiangxia was tired in his mansion. Although Xia Lei was protected by a large number of guards, Nie Zheng still assassinated Xia Lei like he was searching for something. "Historical Records" only uses brief language to describe the thrilling assassination scene, "Nie Zheng went straight in, and the upper-level assassins were tired, causing chaos on both sides." Nie Zheng kept shouting and killed dozens of people. Nie Zheng finally pointed the sword at himself, cut his face, gouged out his eyes, and disemboweled himself. Nie Zheng's purpose in doing this was to prevent anyone from recognizing him and complicating Yan Zhongzi. Later, Nie Zheng was brutally murdered in the city, but no one recognized him. The king of Korea offered a reward of a hundred gold to anyone who provided clues.

Later, Nie Zheng's sister Nie Rong heard that an assassin had assassinated the Prime Minister of Han and was brutally murdered on the street. She suspected that her brother Nie Zheng had done it, so Nie Rong immediately set off to South Korea to find out what happened. After Nie Rong arrived at the place where Nie Zheng's body was buried, he recognized his brother and burst into tears. Nie Rong said to the onlookers: "This is my brother Nie Zheng. He was entrusted by Yan Zhongzi to assassinate Xia Lei. In order to avoid implicating me, he actually disfigured himself. I can't impair Nie Zheng's reputation." Then Nie Rong Die of mourning. According to Suo Yin's annotation of "Historical Records", Nie Rong apparently misunderstood Nie Zheng's intentions. Nie Zheng's purpose of doing this was to protect Yan Zhongzi, but Nie Rong thought it was to avoid involving himself. But Nie Rong's main purpose in doing this was to "list his name" to prevent Nie Zheng from becoming an unknown assassin.

Nie Zheng’s assassination of Xia Lei should be a very influential political event at that time. After people from Jin, Chu, Qi, Wei and other countries heard about this incident, they admired Nie Zheng's fearless spirit of "a scholar who died for his bosom friend" and praised Nie Rong as a martyr, a weak woman who did not hesitate to "risk thousands of miles", thus making Nie Rong Nie Zheng became famous all over the world. At the same time, he also praised Yan Zhongzi for "knowing people and getting scholars." However, no one expressed regret or sympathy for Xia Lei's death.

Yan Zhongzi, who hired a murderer to kill someone, was the mastermind behind the entire incident. Both "Historical Records" and "Warring States Policy" neutrally mention the conflict between Yan Zhongzi and Xia Lei. For example, "Historical Records Volume 86" says, "Puyang Yan Zhongzi served as the Marquis of Han Ai, and he was tired of being a hero with the Prime Minister of Han." "Warring States Policy - Han Ce II" mentions, "The Korean puppet prime minister Han, Yan Sui is more serious than the king, and the two harm each other. Yan Sui's political discussion directly pointed out the fault of the Korean puppet. The Korean puppet used it to scold the DPRK. Yan Sui pointed out the fault of the Korean puppet. So he drew his sword and rushed towards him to save him. So Yan Sui was afraid of being executed and went to swim, asking someone to avenge the Korean puppets. "It can be seen that the two were already incompatible with each other. But no one knows what is right or wrong.

4 The historical allusion of "Three Tunes of Plum Blossoms" is the story of the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Huan Yi playing "Three Tunes of Plum Blossoms" for the madman Wang Huizhi. This allusion has been recorded in "Book of Jin·Biography Fifty-one" and "Shishuo Xinyu·Ren Dan No.23".

Wang Huizhi was summoned to Jiankang, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the boat he took was anchored at Qingxi Wharf. It happened that Huan Yi was passing by on the shore, and Wang Huizhi did not know Wang Huizhi. At this time, a guest on the boat said, "This is King Huan Ye (Huan Yi's word is Ye Wang)." Wang Huizhi then ordered someone to say to Huan Yi, "I heard that you are good at playing the flute. Please try playing for me." At this time, Huan Yi He was already a high-ranking official, but he had also heard of Wang Huizhi's name for a long time, so he got off the boat and boarded the ship. Huan Yi sat on the Hu bed and played the plum blossom tune three times on the flute, which was extremely sublime. After playing, Huan Yi immediately got in the car and left. The host and guest did not exchange a word. The people of Jin are open-minded, informal and upright, which can be seen from this incident.

Wang Huizhi, another protagonist in the Three Plum Blossom Alleys story, is the son of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi, and he once served as the Minister of Huangmen. Wang Hui's behavior was weird, he pretended to be detached, he was talented but uninhibited, and he was an official but did not care about things.

Wang Huizhi once served as a cavalryman under the cavalry general Huan Chong and joined the army. Once Huan Chong asked him: "Which official office do you work in?" He replied: "I don't know what official office it is, but I often see horses coming in, it seems to be horse cao.

Huan Chong asked again: "How many horses are there in the government?" He replied: "If you don't ask about the horses, how can you know the number of horses?" Huan Chong asked again: "How many horses have died recently?" He replied: "If you don't know life, how can you know death?" "

Wang Huizhi's reply was humorous, but it all had its origins. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister's Mansion once had a Ma Cao, but in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was no such position in the army. In order to show his willfulness and detachment, Wang Huizhi did not Managing secular affairs was deliberately referred to as Ma Cao. Later, in the Song Dynasty, Lu You once wrote a poem about "a doctor in literature and writing, and a man who joined the army and judged Ma Cao", which refers to the allusion of "Don't ask about horses" in the above dialogue by Wang Huizhi. From "The Analects of Confucius: Xiangdang", it originally said that Confucius' stable was on fire. Confucius "didn't ask about the horse", only whether it hurt anyone. "If you don't know life, how can you know death?" "One sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Advanced", the original text is "Ji Lu asked about ghosts and gods, Confucius said: "If you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts?" ’ Dare you die. He said: ‘If you don’t know life, how can you know death? '" Wang Huizhi's answer was not what the question was asked, and it was hilarious, but every sentence had its origin. His adaptability and depth of knowledge were admirable.

Ambush from Flying Daggers"

"The Book of Mountains and Seas·Volume 7·Overseas Western Classics" mentions a mythological god, "Xingtian fought with the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor cut off his head, using the breasts as eyes, and he danced with his limbs. Later generations said, "The dance of Qianqi and relatives shows that strong ambitions are always there." My chest and abdomen represent my head, so why should I be punished by heaven? "Tao Yuanming also had a poem like "Xingtian dances with Qianqiu, and the fierce will is always there." Whenever I see these words, it always reminds me of an earth-shattering figure in history. This person also has the same "fierce will always be there" and has " Although he failed in the end, he left a dazzling figure in history. This person is Xiang Yu. If there is a figure like the God of War in China, Xiang Yu should undoubtedly be the first choice.

Xiang Yu has unparalleled courage and momentum, which is rare in ancient and modern times. He is an indomitable hero and the end of the Qin Dynasty. As Tai Shigong said, "(Xiang Yu) took advantage of the momentum and rose from Longmu. In three years, Then the five princes destroyed the Qin Dynasty and divided the world. They were granted the title of prince, and the government came from Yu. He was called the 'Overlord'. Although his position was not ended, it was unprecedented in modern times." As the end of the violent Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu created many miracles For example, in the Battle of Julu, all the princes were afraid of the Qin army, but Xiang Yu led the Chu army to fight against the powerful Qin army. It took nine months until Han surrendered. Wang Li's army was wiped out and Zhang Han's army was surrendered. All the main forces of the Qin army were lost, which created conditions for overthrowing the Qin Dynasty. Another example is the Battle of Pengcheng, where thousands of troops advanced in three directions. Wan defeated hundreds of thousands of Liu Bang's coalition forces.

However, after shattering the old dynasty, he was unable to establish a new dynasty. However, Liu Bang, who was a lowly pavilion chief, and his civilian followers. Together they created a new unified empire, which was unprecedented at the time.

In addition to his bravery, Xiang Yu's cruelty was also quite shocking. The army vowed not to surrender. After Xiangcheng was captured, Xiang Yu "trapped all the soldiers guarding the city." After the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu ordered that all the 200,000 Qin soldiers under Qin General Zhang Han be killed. Xiang Yu also ordered his men to kill the "Righteous Emperor". Han Sheng, his counselor, tried to persuade Xiang Yu to fail and said, "It is said that people in Chu wear monkeys and crown their ears." "Immediately cooked and killed by Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu also cooked and killed Liu Bang's imperial censor Zhou Ke and others.

However, brutality is not Xiang Yu's fatal injury. Xiang Yu's biggest mistake is that he did not establish a strong After the fall of Qin, the world was in conflict. Xiang Yu once proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu and divided the world by splitting the land and making the heroes the king. However, after this enfeoffment, the princes did not loyal to him. The unclear rewards and punishments caused him to lack credibility among the princes. Within a few months of returning to Xuzhou, rebellions broke out. As Jia Yi said, benevolence here is not the same as attack and defense. Of course it is a political method. Xiang Yu is obviously not a politically wise person.

When Liu Bang finally fought with Xiang Yu, he made an appointment with Han Xin and Peng Yue to attack Chu. At that time, Han Xin and Peng Yue did not send troops.

In the end, Liu Bang promised to grant the land of Qi to Han Xin and the land of Liang to Peng Yue, and the two of them led their troops. This was not a land-sharing alliance based on the status of the emperor, but an alliance based on equal qualifications. Therefore, instead of saying that Chu was destroyed by the Han and Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang, it is better to say that Xiang Chu was actually destroyed by the alliance army of the princes, and Han Gaozu was just the leader of the alliance.

Before the formation of the two armies, Xiang Yu once said to Liu Bang: "The Huns and Huns in the world are several years old, but with my two ears, I am willing to challenge the king of Han to decide between male and female, and I will not only suffer the consequences of father and son for the people of the world." "Although Liu Bang was slightly inferior in spirit, he didn't care and said with a smile: "I would rather fight with wits than with strength." The final victory always belongs to those with more political wisdom and tactics. .

Before 202 BC, the conflict between Chu and Han was coming to an end. The two sides fought at Gaixia (south of Lingbi, Anhui today). 300,000 Han troops surrounded 100,000 Chu troops. In order to undermine the morale of the other side's troops, the Han side asked the soldiers to sing Chu songs. Most of the Chu soldiers had been away from home for a long time and were tired of fighting for years. Some people in the Chu army began to sing, and the morale of the army was completely shaken. Seeing that the situation was over, Xiang Yu had nothing to do, so he sang to Yu Ji, "The world is overwhelming with all your strength. The times are not good, but the bad things are not going away. What can you do if the good things are not going away? What can you do if you are worried?" Yu Ji said in peace: "Han The army has conquered the territory, and the song is sounding from all sides. The king is exhausted, how can I live for this humble concubine?" After singing, he drew his sword and killed himself. Xiang Yu later fled to the Wujiang River. Facing the surging river, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It is not a crime of war to kill me here." Then he drew his sword and committed suicide.

Later generations composed two famous pipa martial arts suites "Ambush from Flying Daggers" and "The Overlord Disarms" based on this episode of the Battle of Gaixia. The predecessor of "House of Flying Daggers" and "The Overlord Disarms" is the Ming Dynasty pipa song "Chu Han". This piece of music is vividly described in "The Biography of Tang Pipa" written by Tang Ying, a pipa player of the Ming Dynasty who was designated by Wang You of the Ming Dynasty. The beginning of this song is the decisive battle between the two armies. For a moment, "the sound shook the heaven and earth, and the tiled roofs were like flying down". "The sound of gold, the sound of drums, the sound of swords, and the sound of men and horses making changes" came and went, and then there was silence. The victory or defeat has been decided, and a plaintive "Chu song" sounded. Xiang Yu, a hero at the end of his life, gave out "the sound of tragic songs and generous voices" and "the voice of Farewell My Concubine". After that, there were "the sounds of chasing horses falling into Daze", and "Xiang Xiang went to Wujiang River". "The king committed suicide", "Yu Qi trampled Jian to fight for King Xiang" and so on.
