when were the top ten ancient songs, such as high mountains and flowing water, first composed by who? On this issue, I think a brief introduction of China's top ten ancient songs. 1. It is recorded in "Mountains and Rivers" and "Liezi Tangwen" that Boya is good at playing the piano, while Zhong Ziqi is good at listening to the piano. Once, Boya played a magnificent piece of music standing on a high mountain, and Zhong Ziqi said with appreciation, "Great ambition is in the high mountain." Boya played another stormy and surging tune, and Zhong Ziqi said, "Yang Yang is determined to run water." Zhong Ziqi can deeply understand the connotation of the music "Mountain Flowing Water" played by Boya. From then on, the two of them became bosom friends and were passed down as eternal stories. According to the literature, "Mountain Flowing Water" was originally a song. Since the Tang Dynasty, "Mountain Flowing Water" and "Mountain Flowing Water" have been divided into two independent piano pieces. Among them, the song "Running Water" has got more development in modern times, and its music score was first seen in "Magic Secret Score" in Ming Dynasty (Zhu Quan wrote it in 1425). Running Water, played by Mr. Guan Pinghu, was recorded in the golden record of American space probes and launched into space on August 22, 1977, looking for a new "bosom friend" in the vast universe. 2. Guangling San, also known as Guangling Stop, is a large-scale instrumental music work in ancient China, which was one of the Danqu tunes of Xiang and Chu in the Han and Wei Dynasties. Ji Kang was killed for opposing Sima's dictatorship. Before his execution, he calmly played this song as a sustenance. According to the "Magic Secret Music", this song was originally a folk music popular in Guangling area (that is, in Shouxian County, Anhui Province today) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was once played with musical instruments such as Qin, Zheng, Sheng and Zhu, and now only guqin music exists. "Guangling San" contained in "Magic Secret Spectrum" is divided into 45 paragraphs, namely, minor preface, major preface, correct sound, chaotic sound and post-preface. The tune of the music is special, and the second string is homophonic with the first string, so that the bass melody can be played on these two strings at the same time, and a strong acoustic effect is achieved. The reason why this song can rank among the top ten ancient songs is partly due to Ji Kang. Ji Kang, a famous pianist in the late Wei Dynasty, was killed for opposing Sima's dictatorship. Before he left, Ji Kang calmly played this song as a sustenance. After playing, he sighed, "Guangling San" became a masterpiece today. After that, "Guangling San" gained great fame, and when people understand this piece of music, there is another layer of meaning, which contains a feeling of contempt for powerful people and resentment. 3. The Wild Goose in Pingsha is a piano music that shows the scenery and expresses the feelings, also known as Wild Goose Falling in Pingsha and Pingsha. The authors spread it to Chen Ziang in Tang Dynasty, Mao Xun in Song Dynasty and Zhu Quan in Ming Dynasty, with different opinions. The music score was first published in 1634 (the seventh year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty) by Zhu Changfang, a vassal king. This song was originally composed of four sections, which developed into six, seven and eight sections in the process of spreading. With the brushwork of ink painting, the whole song outlines the vast and magnificent scenery of Qiu Jiang in a distant and vigorous way, showing the sound of shallow sand flow, clouds and Cheng Wanli, and the rise and fall of geese flying in the sky. The melody is bright and clear, and the music is open-minded, which gives people a solemn and full of vitality. By taking advantage of the soaring of Hongyan, people's minds are expressed and entrusted, which reflects the ancient people's praise and love for the beautiful scenery of the motherland. Four, The Three Lanes of Plum Blossom, a guqin song, also known as Plum Blossom Introduction, Plum Blossom Music and Jade Princess Introduction, is a masterpiece of plum blossom in China classical music, which was widely circulated among the people as early as the Tang Dynasty. The whole song shows the noble character of white and fragrant plum blossoms and proud snow. It is a piano music full of the interest of ancient China literati. "The Music of the Dead Wood Zen" says: "The melody is quiet, the syllables are comfortable, and a kind of loneliness appears under the fingers; There seems to be a cold fragrance seeping into the heart, so you have to contact calmly to get its purpose. " Since the Jin and Sui Dynasties, this flute has been composed by Huan Yi, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, Yan Shigu, a pianist in the Tang Dynasty, adapted it into a piano piece, which has been handed down to this day. Ao Shuang's noble character of plum blossom is an important theme in ancient and modern artistic creation, which is often used as a metaphor for people with noble moral integrity. Ming Yang LUN's "Bo Ya Xin Fa" records: "Mei is the clearest flower, Qin is the clearest sound, and writing the clearest thing with the clearest sound should have the rhyme of Ling Shuang. The meaning of three lanes is to take three overtones, and the same string is different from the cloud. " It is rare to use a complete repetition of three overtones in Qin music. "Therefore, there are three stacks of sunshine everywhere and three rows of plum blossoms every night." ("Law Talk"). Five, "House of Flying Daggers" and "House of Flying Daggers" is a famous large-scale pipa, which can be called a classic in the music. The magnificence of the music content and the grandeur of the style are rare in classical music. This song was first seen in Hua Qiuping's Pipa Spectrum published in 1818, and it was renamed Huaiyin Pingchu in Li Fangyuan's 13 sets of Daqu Pipa New Spectrum published in 1895. The music is based on the historical fact that when the Chu and Han armies fought a decisive battle in Gaixia (now southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province) in 22 BC, the Han army set an ambush on all sides, thus completely defeating the Chu army and forcing Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Wujiang River. Gaixia decisive battle is a famous battle in the history of our country. Pipa's "House of Flying Daggers" shows the fierce situation of this ancient war by musical means, and shows the world a vivid and touching picture of the ancient battlefield. 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" "Yu Qiao Q&A" is a famous guqin song that has been circulated for hundreds of years, reflecting a recluse's longing for Yu Qiao's life, hoping to get rid of the shackles of worldly affairs. The music is vivid and accurate. 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 woodcutter, and the theme is concentrated and refined. The rising tune is used to express questions and the falling tune is used to express answers. The tune is elegant and chic, depicting the leisurely manner of fishermen and firewood in the green mountains and green waters. The sound of logging or sculling sometimes appears in the music, which vividly reminds people of the life of fishermen and firewood. Eight, "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" Guqin Music "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" is a piano music based on the narrative poem of the same name circulated since the Han Dynasty, and it is an outstanding classical music in the history of Chinese music. The author of the original poem said that it was Cai Wenji, but it was not recorded in The Biography of Cai Yan in the Later Han Dynasty, so it is difficult to make a conclusion. His music was recorded by the Tang people. Eighteen passages of the whole song * * * use three modes: Gong, Zheng and Yu. The contrast and development of music are distinct and divided into two levels. The first ten beats mainly describe the author's homesickness when he is in Hudi. The latter level expresses the hidden pain and sadness of the author's farewell to his young child. The music tells the tragic experience of Cai Yan's life in a very touching tone, reflects the profound disaster brought to the people by the war, and expresses the hero's deep yearning for the motherland and homeland and the painful feelings of separation of flesh and blood. It was praised by Guo Moruo as "a long lyric poem that is most worthy of appreciation since Qu Yuan's Lisao". Nine, "Autumn Moon in Han Palace" In China traditional music, there are many phenomena with the same name and different songs with the same name, and the historical origin and evolution of each version of the music often need painstaking textual research. For example, Autumn Moon in Han Palace has different versions, such as pipa music, Erhu music, guzheng music, Jiangnan silk and bamboo. This piece of music evolved from a musical instrument score to a different score, and was recreated by their own artistic means to shape different musical images, which is a common situation in the spread of folk instrumental music. The music shows the sad mood of ancient maids and a helpless, lonely and cold artistic conception of life. Ten, "Yangchun Baixue" and "Yangchun Baixue" were originally two profound songs of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, namely "Yangchun" and "Baixue", which were written by Mo Chounv, a famous singer and dancer of Chu. With the help of Qu Yuan and Song Yu, it has a history of more than 2, years. "Yangchun" and "Snow White" in the existing musical scores are two instrumental pieces, which are said to have been written by Shi Kuang of Jin State or Liu Juanzi of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no exact historical data to explain the time when the pieces were produced. In 657, the second year of the reign of Emperor Xianqing in the Tang Dynasty, Lv Cai used the old Chinese and western music with lyrics. "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. " Later, it refers to profound and unfashionable literature and art.
