An appreciation of the musical description of "Pipa Xing" (preface). Here, our group analyzes the stages of musical development it represents by finding sentences in poetry that describe music.
The general writing leads to: The three or two sounds of the rotating shaft plucking the strings, there is emotion before the tune is formed. The strings muffle the sounds and thoughts, seeming to complain of a life of failure. The formalities of the letter were continued with a low eyebrow, telling all the infinite things in one's heart. Lightly gathered, slowly twisted and wiped, then picked again, first "Neon Shang" and later "Liu Yao". : First, the pipa girl plucks the strings to test the sound, which already makes people admire that "there is love before the tune is formed", which shows the superb skills of the pipa girl. Then, through a series of descriptions of the pipa girl's movements, demeanor, and playing repertoire, it not only reflects her superb skills in playing the piano, but also expresses her intention to express her inner emotions through music.
The first section: The big strings are noisy like the rain, and the small strings are like whispers. The bullets are noisy and mixed, and big and small beads fall on the jade plate. : The words "chao cao" and "cut" are used to simulate the sound, and the images of "gushing rain" and "whispering" are used to express it, making the description of the music more vivid. But this is not enough to express the melody at this time, so there is a description of the murmurs intertwined with the rapid rain, and the large and small beads falling on the jade plate. The auditory and visual descriptions are dazzling and dizzying, which fully expresses the eager and joyful emotions when the music first begins. .
The second section: The orioles in Guan Guan are talking about the slippery bottom of flowers, and it is difficult to slide under the ice of Youyanquan. The ice spring is cold and the strings are condensed, and the condensation will never pass the sound for a while. Don't worry and hate yourself. Silence is better than sound at this time. : The sound of "Jianguan" is brisk and fluent, and this sound is like "the voice of an orioles at the bottom of flowers". The beauty of the visual image strengthens the beauty of the auditory image. The sound of "throat" is sad and choked, and this sound is like "spring flowing under the ice". The coldness of the visual image strengthens the coldness of the auditory image. From "cold" to "condensed", it is a process of "sound pause". The poet describes the artistic realm of lingering and endless lingering sounds with the beautiful line "Don't be sad and hateful, at this time silence is better than sound" , which is amazing. The music at this time is full of sadness and hatred, making people almost think that the song has ended.
The third section: The silver bottle bursts and water bursts out, and the cavalry stands out with the sound of swords and guns. : The silence contains endless power, which cannot be suppressed. Finally, like a broken silver bottle, water bursts out, and the cavalry protrudes and roars with swords and guns, the music reaches a thrilling and majestic climax.
End of the song: At the end of the song, the plucked strings are carefully drawn, and the four strings sound like cracking silk. : The music reaches its climax, but then stops abruptly. Although the song ends, the soul-stirring and thrilling charm of music has not disappeared.
(The moon in the heart of the river is white, and the aftertaste is endless: the author uses the side of the last sentence to highlight the endless charm of music)
