The musical language I understand.
Music has a magical effect: it can not only express feelings in words, but also express emotions in ways beyond words. There is a saying that "inexhaustible words lead to chanting, and inexhaustible words lead to dancing". Even without any professional training or even learning music knowledge at all, human beings will instinctively understand the artistic conception expressed by music, such as the joy and joy of harvesting gongs and drums; The sanctity of religious music; The sadness of funeral music, etc. Even an infant can understand the love conveyed by his mother through a lullaby. Therefore, music has gradually become a carrier for people to convey rich and delicate emotional information and a way to communicate with each other. If, after training, accumulation and sublimation, musical skills or expression techniques have reached a certain advanced level, then you need a bosom friend. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a musician named Yu Boya in the State of Chu. His piano skills were superb, but not many people could understand his music. When Yu Boya met a man named Zhong Ziqi, he played music to him. Yu Boya aimed at playing the piano in the mountains, and Zhong Ziqi said, "Good, I am as tall as Mount Tai." Yu Boya's ambition to play the piano is running water, and Zhong Ziqi said, "Good, the ocean is like running water." When mountains and rivers meet bosom friends, the two become friends of life and death. Later, when Zhong Ziqi died, Yu Boya resolutely broke the piano to thank his bosom friend, which is a well-known allusion.

As a special language, music seems to have a unique advantage in emotional expression and communication. In literary works or movies, we often see the classic mode of European knights expressing their love. Yamashita is standing under the window of his sweetheart, playing the guitar, singing lingering love songs and pouring out his heart. From ancient times, people in China knew how to convey love through music, as evidenced by The Book of Songs. People are familiar with the first paragraph of Guanju in Guofeng Nan Zhou: "Guanju dove is in the river continent. My fair lady, a gentleman is good. " In fact, the content behind is even more exciting: "My Fair Lady, please ask for it." "Welcome, I want to sleep. Leisurely, tossing and turning. " It's about this quiet and beautiful girl who made the "gentleman" lovesick and suffered from severe neurasthenia and couldn't sleep. This is not the way to go on! How to express your thoughts to her to win her heart? Next is "Friends of the harp and the harp" and "Music of the bells and drums". Use the sound of harps and drums to express the voice of "gentlemen" and impress the girl's heart. It seems that the gentleman is quite cultured in music, and can play strings and percussion. Moreover, expressing love in this subtle way has a good effect and is very popular with girls, so it is promising for the gentleman to catch up with the "lady". It can be seen that music language showed its unique advantages beyond oral expression more than two thousand years ago.

Music can not only express feelings, but also "describe" scenes. Melody can paint a vivid picture like a brush, and sometimes it is even more vivid and touching than the picture. The picture in the exhibition by Mosolski, an important composer of Russia's "powerful group", vividly outlines 1 vivid pictures with music: the hobbling dwarf; Ancient castle; Tuileries Palace Garden; Polish ox cart; Dance of the Chickens before the Shell ... Music lovers often ask me how to appreciate this piece of music. I ask them to remember the title of each paragraph without making mistakes, and then imagine and listen to it. Some of the paragraphs, such as the fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs, will make the audience smile knowingly, because the music is so vivid and lifelike that it seems that they have experienced it themselves. There are many pieces of music that vividly show the vivid scenes in nature, such as the second song "Voltava River" in Bedrich Smetana's patriotic symphony suite "My Motherland", which depicts a vivid picture for us: the trickle described by flute and clarinet flows out from two sources respectively and merges into a river; The hunter blew the horn of hunting; In the lively wedding, people danced the cheerful polka dance; In charming and tranquil Yamashita, the violin with mute plays a beautiful melody like a fairyland in the high-pitched area, and the water fairies are dancing. The woodwind played gurgling water, and the arpeggio of the harp splashed strings of water drops ... The water flowing from the rhythm of the strings became more and more turbulent, and the brass music played loudly. Together with the whistle of piccolo, the drum of the army and the noise of the big cymbals, the climax of the whole song was played: the stormy waves hit the cliffs, rolled up thousands of piles of snow, and made a deafening noise. The Voltava River crossed St. John unstoppable.

If you want to master the music language well, you must understand and use the two basic elements of music: rhythm and melody.

As the German musician Polo (183-1894) said, "Everything starts with a rhythm". Even a simple rhythm can fully express people's feelings. The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) said: "Human nature is a political animal", and people exist in this world in the form of groups. People in the real society are not living in Tao Yuanming's paradise, nor in Robinson's isolated island, but face specific survival problems in reality every day. In the face of hard life, ancient ancestors needed to help each other, work together, and rely on collective strength to overcome the difficulties and obstacles of nature, so the rhythm-based labor chant came into being. Although it doesn't express rich feelings, it is the common demand of everyone, and it is an effective method to coordinate the pace and form a joint force. This rhythm is similar to management, simple and easy, and has the function of password. Lu Xun once said: "Our ancestors, primitive people, could not even speak. In order to work together, they had to express their opinions and gradually developed complex voices." If everyone was struggling to lift wood at that time, but they couldn't think of publishing it, and one of them called' Hang Yu Hang Yu', then this is creation ... "This is the open source of music rhythm.
