Top Ten Classical Chinese Songs I. The song "Mountain Flowing Water" was first published in the earliest extant piano music collection "Magic Secret Music" in China. In solving the problem, the book wrote: "The book" Mountain Flowing Water "is only one paragraph, and it was divided into two identical songs in the Tang Dynasty, regardless of paragraphs. The Song Dynasty was divided into four sections: Mountain and Running Water. " Second, "Guangling San" is also known as "Guangling Stop". The existing musical score was first seen in the Magic Secret Score. According to the editor of the book, this spectrum was passed down from the Sui Palace, from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and was passed down later. The theme of Guangling San originated from the ancient Song of Nie Zheng Stabbing the King of Korea. This work tells the story of a sword maker who was killed innocently by the King of Korea. His son Nie Zheng, in revenge, joined the Palace as a bricklayer. After his assassination attempt failed, he fled into the mountains to study the piano hard, and after ten years of stunts, he joined the Palace again, stabbing the King of Korea by playing the piano, realizing his wish for many years and making a heroic sacrifice himself. "Guangling" means the Qin music circulating in Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), and "San" means "Cao, Yin and Qu". Third, "Wild Goose Falling in Pingsha" was called "Wild Goose Falling in Pingsha" in Ming Dynasty. The music score was first published in the piano score collection of Authentic Ancient Sounds. The melody of "Wild Goose in Pingsha" is melodious and smooth, and it describes the eyes of geese hovering in the air through the sound of wild geese. "Tianwenge Piano Score" wrote: "Take it for example, the autumn is crisp, the wind is calm and smooth, the clouds are Cheng Wanli, and the sky is flying. Borrow the vision of a swan. Those who write about the mind of a scholar are also. "Wild Goose in Pingsha" appeared late, but it is one of the most widely circulated works in the past 3 years, and it has been published in nearly 1 piano scores. The reason why it is widely spread is that its melody is smooth and beautiful, but also because its expression is novel and unique, which is easy for the audience to understand. Fourth, "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" is a song that eulogizes people who are noble in virtue of their whiteness, fragrance and cold resistance. In the first half of the music, a quiet and comfortable overtone tune was played, which showed the noble and serene static of plum blossoms. The hurried second half describes the unyielding dynamics of plum blossoms. The two sections are different in timbre, melody and rhythm, and there is a sharp contrast. The overtone tune in the same song is repeated three times in different emblem positions, so it is called "three lanes". The existing spectrum of "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" was first published in "The Mysterious Spectrum" (1425 edition). Five, "House of Flying Daggers" This is a large pipa with a historical theme. Up to now, there is no definite theory about the creation age of music. The data can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. In the famous long poem Pipa Travel written by Bai Juyi (772-846), it can be found that the author Bai Juyi had heard the pipa music about the fierce battle scenes. The existing music score of this song was first seen in Pipa Xing compiled by Hua Qiuping in 1818. The music describes the decisive battle in the Chu-Han War in 22 BC. The Han army defeated the Chu army by ambush on all sides, Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang River, and Liu Bang won. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, in the biography of Tang Pipa in Si Zhao Tang Ji, it was recorded that the pipa player Tang Ying once played a song of Chu Han: "When the two armies fought a decisive battle, the sound moved the world and the roof fell. Xu and examine it, there are golden drums, swords and crossbows, horses and horses ... which makes the listener excited at first, and then fear, and there is no way to cry. It is so touching. " House of flying daggers is widely circulated and is one of the representative works in traditional pipa music. Vi. "Sunset Drum" This is a lyrical and freehand Wen Qu with a beautiful and smooth melody, and various pipa techniques are used in the performance. In the form, the whole song is expanded by means of expansion, contraction, local increase and decrease and the transformation of high and low areas. This song is widely circulated and is one of the representative works of ancient pipa music. The earliest copy of music score was in 1875. Around 1925, Datong Music Club in Shanghai adapted the music "Moonlit Night on a Spring River" from this music. It is like a long scroll, which unites colorful scenes. Through the combination of movement and stillness, distance and proximity, emotion and scenery, the whole music is rich in layers, with a prominent climax, and the poetic meaning expressed by the music is fascinating. Seven, "Yu Qiao Q&A" This song has more than 3 versions in the past dynasties, and some of them are accompanied by lyrics. The existing spectrum first appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The music expresses the contempt for those who pursue fame and fortune through the pleasure of fishing firewood in the green mountains and green waters. The music adopts the way of dialogue between fishermen and firewood workers, with rising tunes indicating questions and falling tunes indicating answers. The melody is elegant and chic, showing the leisurely manner of the fisherman. As stated in "Qin Xue Chu Jin": "Yu Qiao Q&A" has a profound meaning and a free and easy look, but the majestic mountains, the magnificent water, the tinkling of the axe and the lingering songs are looming under your fingers. The question-and-answer period makes people think of mountains and forests. " Eight, "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" This song is based on the ancient poem of the same name, and the lyrics were first published in Zhu Xi's "The Story of Chu Ci" in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are two biographies: Big Hu Jia and Little Hu Jia. "Hu Jia" was originally a wind instrument of ethnic minorities in northern China, and it was used for military music with a loud volume. The theme reflected in Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia is the famous story of "Moon Hee returned to Han": Cai Yan (that is, Cai Wenji) lived in Xiongnu for twelve years during the war at the end of Han Dynasty. Although she is married to Zuo Xianwang, she misses her hometown very much. When Cao Cao sent someone to take her back to the mainland, she was reluctant to leave her two children. The joy of returning home was overwhelmed by the pain of separation of flesh and blood, and her mood was very contradictory. Li Xin, a poet, once wrote the following poem: "A woman in Cai made a silly sound, and when long ago one by one she sang its eighteen stanzas. The Hu people shed tears to the grass, and the Han people sighed and returned to the guests. " Rong Yu, a poet, caught the most acute scene of this contradiction in Listening to Du Shanren Playing Hu Jia: "Looking at Han Yue in the south, his eyes are bright, but Hu Er is dead." This song successfully expresses this complicated mood, which is undoubtedly very touching. Nine, "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" has two popular forms of performance, one is Zheng music; The other is Erhu Qu, which was passed on by Mr. Liu Tianhua. This song is intended to express the bitterness and weeping of the oppressed maids in ancient times and arouse people's sympathy for their unfortunate experiences. The performance of Zheng music uses many skills such as singing, sliding and pressing, and its style is simple and quaint. It is a representative Shandong Zheng music. Erhu music, on the other hand, is slow in speed, exquisite and changeable in bow, with short pauses and pauses in melody, intermittent music, and the use of various complex techniques, which shows the sad mood of maids and has deep artistic appeal. Ten, "Yangchun Baixue" is said to be written by Shi Kuang of Jin or Liu Juanzi of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. The story of "Spring Snow", Song Yu's Answer to the King of Chu, wrote: When the singer sang "Xialiba People", there were tens of thousands of people in the middle school. Later, I changed to "Spring Snow", because the song was high and few, and only a few people sang along. "Spring Snow" and "Snow White" in the existing piano scores are two instrumental pieces. "Magic Secret Spectrum" said in solving the problem: "Yangchun takes the meaning that everything knows spring and the wind is indifferent; "Snow White" is awe-inspiring and clean, and the sound of snow and bamboo is beautiful. " It has been edited by celebrities in past dynasties, and its music structure is more concentrated, more rigorous, more hierarchical, and its music image is more vivid. It has become an excellent traditional music that is appreciated by refined and popular people.
