Hope to adopt

Question 3: What kind of musical instrument is the harp? The difference between the harp and the harp 1. Appearance: Harp has single row of strings, while harp has double row of strings:

The harp has a long box-shaped singing box and a harp-shaped singing box:

The sides of the harp singing box are bare, and there are rows of geese on the left and right sides of the harp singing box. Column:

The harp column is a cylindrical column, while the harp column is generally a square column.

In addition, as a kind of decoration, the one with the phoenix head on the top of the piano column must be a konghou. The sound box of the harp is narrow and trapezoidal, with relatively straight edges, and the lower ends of the strings are directly connected to the slope of the sound box. The double-sided pipa-shaped sound box of the harp is larger, with sides Vertically, the string presses through the wild goose pillar and is connected to the lower end of the sound box. 2. In terms of timbre: The sound of the harp seems to be emitted underwater. The whole water has absorbed some scattered energy, which is relatively pure, soft and stable. The sound of the harp seems to be emitted from the transparent water, and even the water surface is vibrating slightly. , relatively clear, floating and erratic. Compare the timbres of the harp and the harp: the harp is more mellow and distant, easier to blend in, and melts like the green water of a lotus pond at night; the harp is clearer, more ethereal, and more distinct, as cold as the sound of a clear spring in a snow-capped mountain. 3. Techniques: The harp is based on the harp, supplemented by the guzheng and other national musical instruments, and then developed. The harp has more vibrating techniques, bringing more changes in charm. It has double rows of strings with the same degree on the left and right, which is more convenient for playing fast melodies and overtones. The left and right hands can play the string rhythm and accompaniment at the same time without interfering with each other, which enhances the Harmony and polyphony, the vibrato area and the plucking area are integrated into each other. It is very convenient to switch between vibrato and plucking, and the harmonic colors are richer. You can even pluck different pitches at the same time between different fingers of the two hands. Use corresponding fingers to perform vibrato techniques on each other during supination. Since the two hands are not restrained by each other like the two fingers of one hand but are independent, the vibrato techniques performed by both hands at the same time can have greater combination possibilities. The left and right rows of string handles The sound box is completely surrounded, and there is no need for the ordinary harp technique of clapping your hands on the sound box. The strings have an atonal area at the wild goose pillar, which is more than the ordinary harp. Scratch under the code.

4. Tonality: The harp is tuned according to the 12-well-tempered heptatonic scale of C-flat major. Although the heptatonic string span is larger, it may be better than the five-toned melody when playing a melody with large pitch changes. The scale string sequence is slightly time-consuming, and the maximum pitch interval with one hand is also smaller. It is not as smooth as the pentatonic scale string sequence in expressing the pentatonic melody. However, on the heptatonic scale string sequence, you can directly play the pentatonic scale chords with one hand, and To play the heptatonic chords on the pentatonic scale strings, you must have the cooperation of your left hand, which will greatly limit your dexterity. After all, there are many more heptatonic chords than pentatonic chords. In terms of vocal range, the large professional harp has a range of more than six octaves, or even seven octaves. However, the general konghou is still five octaves.

Question 4: What musical instrument is the "harp" in the Peacock Flying Southeast?

Sleeping Harvest

Sleeping Harvest is similar to the qin and harp, but has frets. It is a traditional musical instrument of the Han nationality. It was popular from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties and was lost after the Song Dynasty.

Gu Kuang, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, revealed this information in "Li Gongfeng Plays the Harvest Song": "In the morning, there is a mandarin duck hall, and in the quiet night, I sing at the Mingyue Tower... I never teach people outside, and I don't send out any sound inside." - ―In addition, the complexity of its production and performance was not suitable for the popularization of the folk at that time, and the konghou stagnated... From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and then to the Ming Dynasty, the guzheng abandoned the deer bone claw pizzicato and switched to using fingernails to play, expressive However, due to his long-term imprisonment among the high-ranking nobles who never saw the light of day, Konghou's form could not be improved, his skills deteriorated, his repertoire was lacking, and he was dying of illness. In the end, he was blamed by the orthodox Confucianists for being "extremely extravagant". "Voice" vicious attack, finally lost his life. All artifacts met the same unfortunate fate. The early guzheng was high-pitched and rough, and it was said that "Qin Zheng is generous". After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it gradually developed into an elegant and simple style. After thousands of years...gt;gt;

Question 7: What is the konghou? What musical instrument is it? The history of the harp. The harp is a very ancient stringed instrument of the Chinese Han people. Originally called "Kanhou" or "Konghou", in ancient times, in addition to being used in court elegant music, it was also widely spread among the people. In ancient times, there were three types of konghou: the horizontal konghou, the upright konghou, and the phoenix-headed konghou. It was no longer popular in the late fourteenth century, so that Slowly disappearing, only some designs of the harp can be seen on previous murals and reliefs.

The vertical harp painted in a large number of ancient performance images and the Chinese Tang Dynasty lacquer preserved in Nara Shoso-in. Looking at the fragments of the harp and snail harp, the sound box is set on the curved wood that curves upward. The shape of the phoenix-headed harp is similar to that of the vertical harp, and it is often named after the phoenix head as decoration. The sound box is set on the horizontal wood below. The upward curved wood has the function of zhen or qizhen, which is used to tighten the strings. As recorded in "Book of Yue Tang": the harp with a phoenix head has a neck like a zhen, and Du You's "Tongdian" states that the harp has a phoenix head with a head. With or without Zhen, the image of the phoenix-headed harp was introduced from India and was used in Indian music in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was still depicted in Sui Yang's "Book of Music" in the Song Dynasty. There were many types of harp that were lost after the Ming Dynasty.

Question 8: What is the harp? How is it played? In what dynasty was it similar to what it was originally called? "Kanhou" or "Konghou" has three forms in the literature: "lying harp, vertical harp, and phoenix-headed harp". The harp has a long history and a long history. It has a wide range of sounds, a soft and clear tone, and a strong expressive power. In addition to its use, it is also widely spread among the people. It is now often used for solos, ensembles, and accompaniment of songs and dances, and is used in large ethnic orchestras. In ancient times, the harp has three forms: the horizontal harp, the vertical harp, and the phoenix-headed harp. "Historical Records. Fengshen" "Book": "Then he moved to Nanyue, prayed to Taiyi in the temple, and started to use music and dance, and also called songs, and made twenty-five strings and Konghou zither. From then on. "Tongdian" by Du You of the Tang Dynasty: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the musician Hou Diao to make it... According to its shape, it is like a harp but small, with seven strings, and it is like a pipa when played with a plectrum. "This is a type of lying harp and harp. According to the brick book from the Wei and Jin tombs in Jiayuguan, Gansu Province, there are no fret columns on the panel. The vertical harp was introduced from the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty and was later called "Hu harp". "Music Chronicles of Sui Dynasty" ” records: “The modern music played by Xiang Pipa and the upright konghou comes from the Western Regions and is not a Chinese instrument. " Judging from the vertical harp painted in a large number of ancient performance images and the fragments of Chinese Tang Dynasty lacquer harp and snail harp preserved in Nara Shoan Temple in Japan, its sound box is set on an upwardly curved curved wood. The shape of the phoenix-headed harp is similar to The vertical harp is similar to the harp, and is often named after the phoenix head as decoration. The sound box is located on the lower crossbar, and the upward curved wood is used to tighten the strings. It contains: "The phoenix-headed harp has a head like a zither." Du You's "Tongdian" states: "The phoenix-headed harp has a zither on its head." Images of phoenix-headed harp and harp can be found in Dunhuang murals. Introduced from India, it was used in Tianzhu music in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, Sui Yang's "Book of Music" still showed the various shapes of the harp that existed at that time. It was lost after the Ming Dynasty. The vertical harp was shaped like a half-bowed back, with a curved shape*. **Ming trough is set on an upwardly curved curved wood, with foot posts and ribs. It has more than 20 strings, held vertically in the arms, and played from both sides at the same time with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands. Therefore, people in the Tang Dynasty called it "Performance" The harp is also called "Qing harp".

"Tongdian" records: "The vertical harp is also a kind of Hu music. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty liked it. It has a long and curved body with twenty-two strings. It is held upright in the arms and played with both hands. It is commonly known as 'Breaking the harp'". According to ancient murals and documents, there are 23, 22, 16, 7 and other types of strings used to erect the konghou. The harp is an ancient Chinese plucked instrument with a long history. According to research, it has been circulating for more than 2,000 years. In ancient times, in addition to being used by palace bands, the harp was also widely circulated among the people. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty (618-907) in China, with the rapid development of economy and culture, the art of harp playing also reached a very high level. It was during this period that the ancient Chinese harp was introduced to neighboring countries such as Japan and Korea. In the temple of Tora Daiji Temple in Japan, there are still two remnants of the Tang Dynasty harp. However, this ancient musical instrument fell out of popularity in the late fourteenth century and gradually disappeared. People can only see some patterns of the harp in previous murals and reliefs. In order to bring this musical instrument that has been missing for many years back to the stage, Chinese music workers and musical instrument makers have conducted a lot of research work since the 1950s. Based on the records in ancient books and the graphics of preserved ancient murals, they Several types of konghou were designed and trial-produced, but due to many shortcomings in these konghou, they were not promoted and spread. In the early 1980s, a new type of harp - the Yanzhu harp - was developed. Its structure is relatively complete and scientific, and its sound has national characteristics, so it has been promoted for music practice. The two types of harps popular in ancient China are horizontal harps and vertical harps. The new Yanzhu harp is developed based on the basic shape of the ancient vertical harp. The shape of the new Yanzhu harp is similar to that of the Western harp, but the difference is that it has two rows of strings, each row has thirty-six strings, and each string is supported by a herringbone string post on the sound box. On the top, the shape of this kind of string pillar looks like the formation of wild geese flying in the sky, so this kind of harp is called the wild goose pillar harp. The Yanzhu harp has a soft and clear tone, a wide range and rich expressive power. It can play both ancient and modern folk music and harp music. Since the left and right rows of strings have the same tone, they are equivalent to two harps. It has many conveniences in playing fast melodies and overtones. It can also play melody and accompaniment in the middle range with the most beautiful sound with both hands at the same time. This is also the case with other musical instruments. Incomparable. In addition, Yanzhu Konghou is unique in playing vibrato, slide, vibrato and other playing techniques.

Question 9: What kind of musical instrument is the harp? Harvest: an ancient stringed instrument, originally called "Kanhou" or "Konghou". There are three types of shapes in the literature: "lying Harvest, vertical Harvest and phoenix-head Harvest". The harp has a long history and a long history. It has a wide range of sounds, soft and clear timbre, and strong expressive power. In ancient times, in addition to being used in palace music, it was also widely spread among the people. Nowadays, it is often used for solos, ensembles, accompaniments for singing and dancing, and in large ethnic orchestras. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, a horn-shaped harp, also known as the harp, was introduced to my country from Persia (now Iran). In order to avoid confusion with the Han nationality's Konghou, it is called the vertical Konghou, or "Hu Konghou". The origin of the harp can be traced back to a very popular instrument called the harp in ancient Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt, and Greece. Nowadays, although the actual ancient konghou no longer exists, there are many figures playing the konghou on the murals of the Han and Wei dynasties. For example, the harps played in Cave 431 of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are completely similar to the harps seen on the Assyrian reliefs. same. The vertical harp is shaped like a half-bowed back, with a curved ringing groove. It is set on an upwardly curved curved wood, and has leg posts and ribs. It has more than 20 strings stretched out. It is held upright in the arms, and the thumbs of both hands are used from both sides. It is played at the same time as the index finger, so people in the Tang Dynasty called playing the harp "Qing harp". "Tongdian" records: "The vertical harp is also a kind of Hu music. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty liked it. It has a long and curved body with twenty-two strings. It is held upright in the arms and played with both hands. It is commonly known as 'Breaking the harp'". According to ancient murals and documents, there are 23, 22, 16, 7 and other types of strings used to erect the konghou. In ancient royal music, the harp is indispensable, and it is also one of the main instruments in performance. Because it has an array of strings, it can not only play melody, but also music. It is more ideal than other instruments in terms of soloing or accompaniment.

As far back as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the state of Chu already had a sleeping harp and a harp that was similar to the harp and harp. In the Han Dynasty, the sleeping harp was included in the "Shang Music of the Qing Dynasty" as a representative instrument of "Chinese Zhengsheng". At that time, it had five strings and more than ten columns, using bamboo as a groove and playing with water. It was not only popular in the Central Plains and the South, but also spread to Northeast China and North Korea. This musical instrument was popular in the Han Dynasty and was often used in poetry. For example, in Han Yuefu's "Ancient Poetry Composed by Jiao Zhongqing's Wife", it says: "Thirteen can weave textiles, fourteen learn how to tailor clothes, fifteen play the konghou, and sixteen can recite poems and books." "; "Historical Records. Book of Feng Chan": "So he went to Nanyue, prayed to Taiyi and Houtu in the temple, and began to use music and dance, to listen to imperial edicts and songs, and to compose twenty-five strings and to wait for the harp. From then on, "Du You of the Tang Dynasty "Tongdian". "" records that the konghou was "made by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who asked the musician Hou Tiao to commemorate Taiyi. Or it was made by Yun Houhui. The sound of the konghou corresponds to the festival, so it is called Kanhou. ... In the old days, it was said that the konghou was made according to the qin. Now according to its shape, It is like a harp but small, with seven strings, and is played with a plectrum, like a pipa. "It refers to the sleeping harp, which belongs to the harp and harp category. Although the sleeping harp is similar in shape to the harp, it has a long melody sound box on the panel. It has the same taste as the pipa, which is the main feature that makes it different from the harp in shape. The musical instrument played in the Goguryeo murals in Ji'an, Liaoning (now Ji'an, Jilin) ??is the lying konghou. The Wo Konghou was used in Goryeo music in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but gradually disappeared in my country and was lost after the Song Dynasty. However, Wo Konghou was passed down in North Korea, and after being passed down and improved over the generations, it became today's Xuanqin. In Japan, the harp was introduced from the Baekje Kingdom at that time (both Goryeo and Baekje were the ancient names of Korea) and was called Baekje Qin. The phoenix-headed harp was introduced to my country from India via Central Asia in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty. Jin Dynasty Cao Pi's "Rong harp Fu" describes it as "dragon body and phoenix shape, with a graceful body, golden tassels and green algae". It can be seen that it is named after the phoenix head as its decoration. The shape of the phoenix-headed harp is similar to that of the vertical harp. The sound box is placed on the lower crossbar, which is in the shape of a boat. The upward curved wood is equipped with a stun or a lifting stun to tighten the strings. There is a phoenix head carved on the end of the curved neck. As recorded in "Book of Music on the Tang Dynasty": the phoenix has the head of the konghou and the head is like a zhen. Du You's "Tongdian": the head of the phoenix has the konghou and the head has a zhen. Images with or without Zhen can be seen in Dunhuang murals. The musical instrument played by the Sibo Bodhisattva in the Jin Dynasty in Cave 38 of the Kizil Ancient Caves in Xinjiang is the phoenix-headed harp. The phoenix-headed harp was used in Tianzhu music, Piao Guo music and Gaoli music in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty (78O-805), the Feng-shou konghou was also introduced from Piao State (now Myanmar). This is a kind of phoenix-headed harp made by Xiang Youshen. It is still popular in Myanmar and is called "Sangko" or "Wanqin". It is also called "Burmese harp". In China, the phoenix-headed harp was lost after the Ming Dynasty. In the early 1980s, a new type of harp was designed by Zhang Kun of Shenyang Conservatory of Music and produced by Suzhou National Musical Instrument Factory No. 1, the Yanzhu harp. From 1981 to 1984, he designed and produced the Yanzhu harp that can be transferred to 7 tunes and the Yanzhu harp that can be switched to all tunes. The Yanzhu harp draws lessons from the string design of the harp and absorbs Han Qihua's (Shenyang Musical Instrument Factory) "double-row string vibration" structural principle. The sound box is a three-dimensional double-sided pipa shape, using a zither... .gt;gt;
