In the Guqin Kingdom, only seven strings fully express the essence of China culture, such as the mind of scholars, feelings of home and country, the landscape of benevolent people, the heart of carving dragons, free temperament and feelings about life. Times have changed and thoughts have stirred, but the feelings of literati have never changed. The so-called "Buddhism nourishes the heart, Taoism nourishes the body, and Confucianism accomplishes things" constitutes the ideological space, which is the most enlightening. For thousands of years, we should learn from Kong Qiu.
Throughout his life, Confucius "aspired to Taoism, based on morality, based on benevolence, and swam in the art", and took "prospering in poetry, standing in ceremony and becoming happy" as the way of practice. He once wrote all the songs in the Book of Songs in order to combine Shao and Wu's elegant songs into one. He was ridiculed as "inspired by string songs, learning to make vocal music" in order to "rule by string songs". Cai Chen said, "You can't do anything, you can't eat, you can't get sick, and Confucius can't stop reciting string songs."
A gentleman doesn't like coke, a gentleman is better than a piano, and only a gentleman can be happy. Playing the piano is the highest realm of gentleman's cultivation, and the unity of man and music shows a calm and sincere demeanor. In the era of Confucius, Qin music was not only the personal cultivation pleasure of later gentlemen, but also the sacred music to accommodate heaven and earth and educate the people. In the music of Qin, Confucius heard the voice of King Wen Sheng, and Shi Kuang heard the voice of the subjugation of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, so Guqin is also called "the instrument of saints". "If Zhong Ni is not born, it will exist forever." Confucius' piano practice is a classic example of guqin learning and artistic practice. Confucius made the piano, and the music was born from the heart. He played it with the help of the piano and wept with it, which also proved the original meaning of the instrument.
First, Confucius learned the piano.
Historical Records-Confucius Family;
1, Confucius studied drums, and piano master Xiangzi didn't enter for ten days. Shi Xiangzi said, "Yes." Confucius said, "Qiu learned his songs, but not much."
Confucius studied the lyre with Shi Xiangzi for ten days, and didn't learn any new music. Shi Xiangzi said to him, "You can increase the content of your study." Confucius said: "I am familiar with the form of music, but I haven't mastered the method yet."
2. I have a house, saying, "I have learned math, and I can benefit." Confucius said, "Autumn didn't succeed."
After a while, Shi Xiangzi said, "You have mastered the playing skills, so you can increase your learning content." Confucius said, "I haven't understood the artistic conception of this song."
3, there is a house, saying: "I can learn from his ambition and benefit." Confucius said, "There is no one in autumn."
After a while, Shi Xiangzi said, "You have understood the artistic conception of this song, so you can increase the content of your study." Confucius said, "I don't know the author yet."
Sometimes, I deeply think of Mu Ran, and I have high expectations and lofty ambitions. He said: "Qiu is a man, gloomy and deep, but a few days long, with eyes like sheep, like the king of the four countries." No one can do this except Wen Wang! " Shi Xiangzi gave up his seat, bowed again, and said, "Master Gaiyun wrote Fuck King Wen.
After a while, Confucius seemed to have entered a new realm: sometimes he looked solemn and thoughtful, and sometimes he looked high; Confucius said: "I know who he is: that man is dark-skinned, tall, smart and far-sighted, like a king, ruling princes in all directions." If it weren't for Zhou Wenwang, who else could write this song? " Hearing this, Shi Xiangzi quickly got up and made two obeisances, and replied, "This is what the old piano said when he was tutoring this piece. This song is called "King of Cao Wenguo"! "
In the process of learning the piano, it is best to keep understanding the connotation of a piece of music like Confucius, instead of just thinking about catching up with the progress. Ten dollars is not as good as one.
Second, the hole bullet piano.
Confucius gave the world the stereotype that he was a master, but in The Analects of Confucius, he maintained a three-dimensional personality of natural and unrestrained, generous and wise, and in the seven-string world of guqin, Confucius showed his hit the floor's free temperament:
The history of Qin dynasty:
1, under the dictatorship of Ji, Confucius went to Lu. When he turned around, he saw Guishan sheltering his hometown, sighing that "Ji's family sheltered my king and Guishan sheltered Lu" and writing "Guishan Cao", "No axe, no ke, how can you endure Guishan?" .
2. Zhao Jianzi also hired Confucius. Confucius had to drop a drop of water before he arrived. When he heard that Zhao had killed his sage, he sighed, "The reason why Fu Zhao ruled was that he could sing calves. Kill the calf and hire the rest. Why do you want to go? " Is to help practice the piano and sing "Hui Hui Cao".
3, anti-Lu, see the secluded valley orchid alone, saying: "Fu Lan should have been the king's fragrance, but now he is unique, interacting with the grass, comparing with the sages of the times, and also the relationship with the humble husband", which is called "blue"
Fuck. "I went back to Shandong to defend myself, and then I was very happy that Song Ya was in his place."
4. He also wrote "Folk Songs" and said, "Climb the hill and climb Osaka. Benevolent people are far away. "
5. Get, think, Confucius read Yi, etc. It has also been handed down as his works or works related to it. Today, the most common guqin is Zhong Ni style (Confucius style), which was also created by Confucius. The prescription of neck and waist is square and the sound is elegant and pure.
Third, the piano is thoughtful.
1, Zhu tasted the words of "Guishan" and mourned the most sacred place. Listening to the song "Going Home" hurts troubled times, and hearing the name of "Yi Lan" laments that Shengde has not met.
2, "Autumn Night Reading Yi", Wei edited three unique, melodious syllables, as high as rising, flat as shoes, and its melodious and euphemistic voice is enough to touch people's hearts.
3. The Doctrine of the Mean: "If you learn, you can learn from it; If you ask, you know what to do; There are blessings, and the blessings of thinking are also blessings; There are differences, including Fu Ming and Fu CuO. There are blessings, there are blessings. If a person can do it, he will do it; People can do it in ten ways and thousands of ways. If you can do this, you will know if you are stupid, but if you are soft, you will be strong. "
4. Contemporary significance of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting;
The study of the ancients began in three thousand years, and the enlightenment was enlightened. Later, all classics, history, poetics, music, literature, Yi ology, philosophy, agriculture, horticulture, medicine and so on. Gradually expand our horizons from human body and life to home country and the world, and gradually broaden our horizons. At the same time, they use the practice of piano, chess and calligraphy to convey a person's temperament, knowledge and ambition. So that in such a cramped power environment in ancient times, splendid cultures such as poetry, gardens, folk art, piano music, calligraphy, Chinese painting, Chinese medicine, Yi-ology, Tibetan studies, Dunhuang studies and so on appeared. This phenomenon proves an iron law of learning: selection, absorption, digestion and output should be relatively balanced-indiscriminate learning or forced indoctrination learning is false.
Nowadays, learners absorb knowledge indiscriminately in parents' wishes, prayers, teachers' demands and indoctrination, and gradually erase their nature, talent, interests, preferences and personality. Then, parents, teachers, families, schools, and society have a hopeless surge of emotions, which will flood and collapse if they are not careful. Even if they care for one side with trepidation, most of them are just a futile life. What it means here is that learning has been absorbed, and those who have no choice are forced to do it. There is no reason to cultivate the export of mind, desire, ambition, emotion and ability, which brings a series of problems and cannot be sloppy. This is also the practical significance of returning to classicism and approaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting again. Guqin, which inherits an elegant lifestyle, needs many cultural creativity such as gardens, poems, architecture and folk art to build a cultural courtyard to care for it, and building a strong spiritual space is the only choice.
