Undeniably, this is a complete victory of pure style in the field of music, which makes people believe that the fascinating artistic effect born from a China erhu, a so-called seesaw instrument in the eyes of westerners, far exceeds the hysterical performance of a large symphony orchestra: nearly 100 musicians among them are eclipsed by the magical light produced by a wandering blind man. Its rhythm flies thousands of miles above the so-called erhu performance, and it also takes me to this wonderful high altitude.
The top of the mountain is the hometown of clouds and wind; In that cold residence, it invented its stereo. It is like an invisible and vivid ghost, hovering in the phantom dance all night. It's a saboteur with ulterior motives for a happy mood and a whimsical clue. Just like a psychic wizard, it takes you into a beautiful and negative world. In its dilapidated and barren garden, all the flashy, elegant and happy life and scenes have simply become transparent.
He is a gifted prophet, who has seen through the potential sadness hidden in your destiny and the unspeakable suffering of ordinary people, and has given warning and display to all bitter, desolate, decadent and even desperate things. Even if you should be intoxicated with the present, as long as it is storm warning, you will suddenly find that all your self-satisfaction has already become inexplicable: those who just woke up from one illusion will immediately throw themselves into another illusion-eternal melody!
And when its melody is soaring, all the noisy noises and sounds of nature stop singing, just like its tacit confidant. So it led me through the layers of time and space, into a damp and simple alley full of musty smell, ancient and long. In the distance, an unrecognizable figure staggered towards me, struggling to find a way out against the broken wall. He approached, approached, and the figure with old-fashioned sunglasses and ragged clothes, playing pipa and erhu, passed over my face. I guessed, carefully studied this seemingly down and out person, and finally understood the article written on his face-A Bing-the name of a drop of blood under the moonlight! At this time, I already knew the direction he was walking, a place I knew-Er Quan. With great effort and eyesight, he came to the fountain and stood beside the psychic spring, his mouth twitching from time to time, maintaining a mysterious silent silence. Finally, he leaned back, touched a smooth rock with his hand, sat down skillfully, crossed his legs, took down the erhu and put it on the shelf with his arms crossed. After simple tuning, the crying commercial sound was swept away.
I am amazed that the poor ugly blind man's technology can make two indifferent metal strings so unpredictable. Is there any other music in the world? It makes the roaring beast calm the deafening roar and become like lovers whispering; Let the river that stays up all night reduce the rushing power and can't move a canoe; Let the arrogant master lower his arrogant head; Let the eloquent debater not open the mouth of Gan Kun; But a person who is extremely confused actually draws the courage of life from it ... is there? Yes, but besides "two springs reflecting the moon" or "two springs reflecting the moon".
Here we go again, you tortured artist. I am kneeling to listen to your sad farewell, and you, this beautiful melody, please take me to the eternal spring or the embrace of the grave, and I will melt into eternal melancholy. ...
A poem "Two Springs Reflect on the Moon" looks like a long poem, and the moon is the protagonist in the poem, bright and crystal clear, but it exudes cold light; The moon is beautiful, but it makes people sad. It is a kind of cold and sad beauty, like autumn wind sweeping away leaves: like snowflakes hitting the water, layers of ripples appear on the water and then disappear; I like being alone at the top of a tall building in the middle of the night, overlooking thousands of lights, and snowflakes fall at my feet all over the sky; Just like walking alone on a desolate hill in late autumn, there is depression everywhere.
The composer's name is Hua, a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu. He has a strong interest in folk music, learning drums, flute, erhu and pipa since childhood. By the time he was fifteen or sixteen, he had become an outstanding local musician. When he was 34, his illness made him blind. He is poor and ill, living in the street, and his life is very difficult. But he is very determined, never begging for alms from others, but making a living by busking. He is what we are familiar with-the blind A Bing. A Bing has lived at the bottom of society for a long time, and he has distinct love and hate. He has composed many musical works. What we heard just now is A Bing's representative Erhu Opera "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon". Living under the reactionary rule of Party X, he also composed many satirical music, which challenged the evil forces, such as Listening to Songs and The End of the Traitor, and expressed his great indignation at the Japanese aggressors and traitors, thus becoming a thorn in the side of the reactionary authorities. 1947, A Bing became ill by the National X Party and was forced to stop busking.
After more than half a century of rough years, A Bing finally looked forward to the liberation of the whole country, and his artistic career also entered a new stage. /kloc-in the summer of 0/950, A Bing was interviewed by the Central Conservatory of Music. In desperation, he recorded six pieces of music, including Two Springs Reflecting the Moon, Listening to Songtao, Big Waves for Sand, and Zhao Jun's Embankment. He also promised to continue recording two or three hundred erhu songs after six months. However, due to long-term suffering in the old society, he vomited blood and died on February 4, 65438. The death of A Bing and the loss of hundreds of his music works are great losses that can never be compensated in the history of China music.
My father is an erhu fan. As long as I can vaguely remember, I heard my father sitting at the window and playing "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" with the old erhu. When I grow up, I can feel the beauty in music. After I learned about A Bing's miserable life, I often used this song to motivate myself. I like the part where the music turns from low to high. I feel the struggle and unyielding of the working people in the old society!
After enjoying the majestic image of Wuxi Lingshan Buddha, the next day I went to the place where A Bing, a blind man, often entertains, that is, the Erquan reflecting the moon in Xi Hui Park. It is said that he always wears sunglasses, with the help of his wife, sits on a small bench at sunset, plays the erhu and plays the tearful "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon". This piano resonates with everyone. Who would have thought that this humble old man would become a famous musician in China?
When you walk into Xi Hui Park, you can't seem to find the ancient vicissitudes around you. Everything around you is similar to the street park in Beijing. Beijing has not only fitness equipment everywhere, but also a big free market where you can buy fish and shrimp, clothes and shirts, and other daily necessities. It's not like the park charges 40 yuan. Asking around, I finally found Erquan Yingyue. It turns out that there is nothing here, not as beautiful as in the movie, nor as beautiful as I imagined. If it weren't for the words "the second spring in the world" written on the wall, there are two ancient wells next to it, which are called "the second spring in the world", there is nothing special here at all.
In fact, Xi Hui Park and "Second Spring in the World" are not particularly well-known scenic spots, but folk musician A Bing often makes a living by busking in this area. It is said that A Bing often plays the piano beside Er Quan in Wuxi, but he still can't get enough to eat and wear for a day. He returned to the alley in the middle of the night, often playing the piano all the way back, and the sound of the piano was sad and sad, especially touching. At that time, the song had no title. A Bing once called it "spontaneous chamber", and his neighbors called it "Yi Xin Qu". Later, Yang and Cao Anhe of the Central Conservatory of Music linked it with Wuxi's famous scenic spot "the second spring in the world" and named it "the second spring reflecting the moon".
"Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" is based on the scenery near Er Quan Pavilion in Huishan, Wuxi. There is a famous spring there, which is called "the second spring in the world". This is the place where A Bing used to play before he went blind. After losing his sight, he can only use musical images to recall and describe the beautiful scenery of Er Quan he witnessed in the past. Combined with his actual feelings at that time, it was dark around and nothing could be seen, so he always showed a desolate and sad mood in his melodious tunes.
He Lvting once said: "The nickname" Two Springs Reflecting the Moon "actually contradicts his music. Music does not describe the scenery of Erquan reflecting the moon, but profoundly expresses the painful life experience of blind A Bing. " A Bing learned from others, accepted all kinds of skills, and reflected all his feelings about the painful life through music. His music works are permeated with the essence of traditional music, revealing a healthy and deep breath from the bottom of the people, sincere, gripping and full of strong artistic appeal.
This piece of music fully expresses the author's sincere feelings in creation and performance. It is not only deeply loved by the people of China, but also highly praised by the international music community. It shakes the heartstrings of millions of people with its deep, melodious and enthusiastic music ... The world-famous conductor Seiji Ozawa commented on music: "I should kneel down and listen ..."
It was 1978, and Seiji Ozawa was invited to be the chief conductor of the Central Orchestra. During the dinner, he conducted and played Brahms' Second Symphony and the string ensemble "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" (adapted). At that time, Seiji Ozawa said nothing. The next day, Seiji Ozawa came to the Central Conservatory of Music and listened to the original song "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" played by Jiang Jianhua, a girl aged 0/7 from the school. He was moved to tears and murmured, "If I had listened to this performance yesterday, I would never dare to conduct this piece of music, because I don't understand this piece of music, so I am not qualified to conduct this piece of music ... This kind of music should only be listened to on my knees." At some point, I really want to kneel down. He also said: "The feeling of heartbreak is so appropriate."
On September 7th of the same year, Asahi Shimbun published a special article "Tears Moved by Mr. Ozawa" from Beijing. "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" has since crossed the ocean and won the praise of the world music scene.
Music is not only the art of sound, but also the art of expressing thoughts and feelings. A beautiful music can give people great spiritual enjoyment. Music can be deeply rooted in people's hearts and soothe loneliness for the lonely; For losers, summon up courage in your heart; For the world-weary, arouse the passion for life. I don't know when music has occupied my mind and often drives me crazy.
I remember when I was a child, an old neighbor often played a beautiful and deep tune with the erhu. I didn't have much knowledge before the chaos started, but I felt good. At that time, I was a notorious naughty boy, but at the beginning of this song, I would calm down and listen quietly. At first, the old man was a little surprised and gradually got used to it. From then on, in the moonlight, an old man and a young man were silently bathed in notes. The old man was holding an erhu and pulling it with ecstasy, while the little man was holding his chin and staring at the erhu quietly, his eyes full of curiosity. Later, I learned that this song was called "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon", and I also learned about the creative background of this song and the hard connotation and artistic conception of the author A Bing. When I heard this song again, I completely lost control of myself. There seems to be such a picture in front of me: a blind artist is wandering in the street with his erhu on his back; In the bright moonlight, Huishan spring is gurgling, imagining the beautiful natural scenery around. Blind A Bing couldn't stand the pain inside, crying loudly: Why is the world around her dark? Where is the hope and outlet of life? When the passion calmed down, A Bing gradually lost in thought: Will the world become better one day? With this hope and longing, with the feeling that "spring has come, but I can't see anything", I continue to stumble forward. ...
Legend has it that the ancient sword-casting master can only cast an eternal magic weapon by putting his hard work into the furnace. The same is probably true for musicians. As long as they integrate their hearts into their works, they can cause strong * * * sounds and violent vibrations from the audience. This is the charm of "two springs reflecting the moon". No wonder the famous conductor Zheng Xiao Zell even called it "heartbreak" with tears in his eyes after hearing this song.
Listening to music is a great enjoyment, which can make our work and study progress. Because it not only infects our hearts and environment, but also stimulates inspiration, enhances wisdom and enhances memory. People who listen to music tend to have better memories than those who listen to music less. Mozart liked listening to music when he was a child. At the age of twelve, he listened to a nine-part chorus in Milan church, and he only remembered it once. At that time, church music was confidential. When the priests saw that Mozart had this music score, they thought that he had stolen it from the church. They all admired his memory after discovering the truth.
Music can give people great spiritual enjoyment and its charm is unparalleled. No wonder "Confucius smells Shao, but he doesn't know the taste of meat in March".
Music often rings in my heart, and life becomes an andante like a song.
