Who originally composed the top ten ancient songs such as mountains and flowing water? 30

The high mountains and flowing water were written by the (seemingly) Boya of the Zhou Dynasty.

The difference between the guqin songs "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" is: the Song Dynasty has different segments, and the number of segments in the Ming Dynasty is different.

First, the Song period is different.

During the Song Dynasty, it was divided into four sections of "High Mountain" and eight sections of "Flowing Li Lingshui".

Second, the number of sections in the Ming Dynasty was different.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Biao was in "Flowing Water", but he was in the original place.

A paragraph was added between the fifth and sixth paragraphs, which was the so-called"Seventy-two rolls"The technique of simulating the sound of a spring dripping water to the fullest. It is divided into four sections of "High Mountain" and nine sections of "Flowing Water".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Yu Boya, who was proficient in music and rhythm, and had superb piano skills, and was a famous violinist at that time. When Yu Boya was young, he was smart and studious, and he once worshipped a master as a teacher, and his piano skills reached a level, but he always felt that he could not express his feelings about various things in a supernatural manner. When Boya's teacher knew what he was thinking, he took him on a boat to Penglai Island in the East China Sea, so that he could enjoy the scenery of nature and listen to the sound of the waves of the sea.

Boya raised his eyes and looked out, only to see the waves surging and splashing; Seabirds are flying and chirping; The mountains and forests are lush and green, like entering a fairyland. A wonderful feeling arises spontaneously, and the ears seem to be stirring up the harmonious and beautiful ** of nature. He couldn't help but play the piano, the sound turned at will, and the beauty of nature was integrated into the sound of the piano, and Boya experienced an unprecedented realm.

The teacher told him, "You've already learned." ”

Overnight boat trip to Boya. Facing the breeze and bright moon, he had a lot of thoughts, so he played the piano again, and the sound of the piano was melodious, and it gradually got better. Suddenly, I heard someone on the shore shouting.

When Boya heard the sound, he came out of the boat, and saw a woodcutter standing on the shore, and he knew that this man was a bosom friend, so he immediately invited the woodcutter to come on board and played for him with great interest. Boya played a tune in praise of the mountains, and the woodcutter said, "How good!

Majestic and solemn, like the towering Tarzan! When he played the surging waves, the woodcutter said, "How good!

It is vast and vast, as if you see the rolling water and the boundless sea! Boya was excited, and said excitedly: "Bosom friend!

You are truly my bosom friend. "This woodcutter is Zhong Ziqi. Since then, the two have become very good friends.

The story is from "Liezi Tangwen". The idiom "mountains and flowing water" is a metaphor for a confidant or bosom friend, and it is also a metaphor for beauty.

"Mountains and Flowing Water" is a guqin song. According to the solution of "Flowing Water" recorded in "Magical Secret Spectrum":

There are two songs of mountains and flowing water, and there is only one song. The original ambition is to care about the mountains, and the meaning of the benevolent person is to enjoy the mountain, and the latter cares about the flowing water, and the meaning of the wise person is happy with the water. To the Tang Dynasty, it is divided into two songs, regardless of paragraphs, to the Song Dynasty, it is divided into four sections of high mountains and eight sections of flowing water.

The "Flowing Water" that circulated later was mostly passed down by the Qing Dynasty pianist Zhang Kongshan. It makes full use of fingering techniques such as "overtones, rolling, whisking, squeezing, note, up, down", etc., to further express the surging effect in the flowing water, and is known as "seventy-two rolling flowing water".

"Flowing Water" vividly describes the various dynamics of flowing water; There are gurgling mountain springs, babbling streams, and surging rivers. With sincere feelings, he enthusiastically sang the praises of the magnificent mountains and rivers.

The whole song of "Alpine Flowing Water" has a total of 9 small sections, which can be divided into four parts: starting, bearing, turning, and combining. The introduction of the whole piece is played at a slow tempo in prose. The atmosphere of this introduction is quiet, and then the melody continues to jump in the wide vocal range, changing the sound area, as if you are on the top of a high mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist.

The whole "beginning" tune has a clear rhythm, a lively and light mood, and a clear overtone like "Zheng Zheng, the cold current in the secluded world; Clear and cold, the trickle of pine roots", expresses the pleasant mood when resting in the deep mountains and forests and listening to the murmuring of flowing water.

Cheng: The continuous and singing melody is like a drop of spring water gathered into a gurgling trickle. This part is played in a solid tone, ** further. **Writing more love than realism, "its rhyme is melodious, like flowing water." ”

** With a large portamento, accompanied by "rolling", "whisking" and other techniques, such as waterfalls flowing, converging into the rolling rivers and seas. The "turning part" of the mountain flowing water is divided into two parts, and in the first part, the melody appears a large upward and downward sound, as if "the waves in the torrent and the splashing waves."

In the latter part, complex performance techniques such as "whisk" and "zi" are used continuously, "the right hand rolls without stopping, while the left hand moves in the real sound, and there is no suffocation in the back and forth, and it is the most difficult to take the sound between the slow and the urgent."

These performance techniques make the music vividly depict the flowing water "extremely boiling and surging, with the image of a dragon roaring", so that the audience seems to "sit in a dangerous boat across the Wu Gorge, dizzy, thrilling, only suspect that this body has been in the mountains rushing, thousands of ravines are contending for the current." ”

After a series of overtones that descend first and then rise in the treble range, the river is no longer so turbulent, but "the light boat has passed, and the momentum is wandering, sometimes the aftermath is rocky, and sometimes the swirl is slightly wet." The changes reproduce the tones of the "Bearing" and "Turning" sections, and introduce some new ** materials, which are faster and stronger than the previous ones in terms of speed and dynamics, so ** are more exciting than before.

The piece also uses overtones to play short phrases with a cheerful rhythm, and the sub-notes to the main note end the piece. People look far away, the smoke is vast, and the heart is relaxed. The whole song of "Mountains and Flowing Water" is vivid and magnificent, and it is an ode to the magnificent rivers and mountains.

Alpine Flowing Water Guqin: Xu Yuanbai.

Mountains and Flowing Water", according to the "Tianwen Pavilion Piano Score", Hou Zuowu played. It is recorded in "Liezi Tangwen": Boya is good at playing the piano, and Zhongzi is good at listening to the piano.

Once, Boya played a majestic piece of music that stood tall on the mountain. Zhong Ziqi said with appreciation: "Towering is in the mountains.

Boya played another turbulent and turbulent tune. Zhong Ziqi said: "Yang Yang is full of ambition and flowing water.

Since then, the two of them have become bosom friends, and it has been passed down through the ages. The story of the Boya drum and piano is also recorded in the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period: The Original Flavor Chapter".

The extant score was first found in the Magical Secret Score (1425, written by Zhu Quan). In the solution to the score, it says: ""High Mountain" and "Flowing Water", there is only one song, and it is divided into two songs in the Tang Dynasty, without the number of segments.

To the Song Dynasty, it is divided into four sections of "High Mountain" and eight paragraphs of "Flowing Water". The most widely circulated is "Flowing Water" (contained in "Tianwenge Qin Score", 1876), which was processed and developed by Zhang Kongshan, a Sichuan pianist of the Qing Dynasty. The tune is roughly the same as "Flowing Water" in "Magical Score".

Seventy-two rolling fingerings have been added to the sixth and eighth paragraphs to make the effect of the water surging and rushing more realistic.
