Reading a beautiful essay will make us feel comfortable and beautiful, just like walking into a painting. With the author's description of walking mountains and rivers, I still have a lot of reverie and yearning in my heart. What should I call this feeling? I was there. So, listening to a piece of music will also have an immersive feeling? The answer is yes, that's the case with the guqin song "Lan Xiang Jian".
? ( 1)
"Lanxiangxi" was created by young composer Su Yi and played by Yang Qing, a famous guqin player. After being recommended by my friends, I really like it. I don't feel tired after listening to it twenty or thirty times a day, but I feel infinitely happy. When you listen, you will always see such a picture:
? In the distance, there are waterfalls falling from high mountains and jumping into streams in valleys surrounded by mountains. They first merged into a mirror-like lake, and then the lake was divided into several small rivers and left step by step. The whole valley is tree-lined, quiet and distant, with white clouds floating in the sky and birds chirping by the stream. The lake carries the reflections of blue sky, white clouds and mountains, gently rippling. It's sunny after the rain, and the blue sky is like washing, giving people a refreshing, colorful, leisurely and harmonious atmosphere everywhere.
? The valley is deep, the orchids are crowded and squeezed. Compared with the surrounding flowers and plants, it is particularly different. Green diamond flowers, the leaves are very thin, so beautiful, so quiet, so beautiful. The breeze blew and the orchids swayed. In addition to the fragrance of earth, there is a faint, seemingly absent and elusive fragrance in the air from time to time. What is this? The scent of orchids. This valley is named "Lanxiangjian". Orchid is a flower famous for its fragrance. It is elegant and beautiful, with no delicate colors and no publicity. It just grows in a low-key way, quietly elegant and fragrant, silent, and has the taste of the poet Wang Wei's "people go to the empty building, and the stream opens."
? This is the association and artistic conception brought to us by the piano music Blue Fragrant Sword. In the face of this situation, how to express your feelings? I tried to add lyrics to this song:
? After the song had the lyrics, I sang in a low voice while listening, and suddenly I felt that I was with the song and was there, and I had more understanding of the artistic conception created by the song.
? In the valley, why don't you sit down, have a cup of tea, and watch the clouds roll and relax, and the flowers bloom and fall? When the rhythm of the strings ripples on the lake with the wind, our hearts will become very beautiful and simple, calm and comfortable like a stream; When the sky, earth, people, piano and melody are completely integrated, I think our fingers are not just teasing the wind and water, but fondling a soul exiled to the mountains, aren't they?

? With such joy, I sent the lyrics to my good friends. He was born in Sichuan, younger than me, but he is very idealistic and affectionate. I worked in my hometown in my early years, then worked hard in coastal cities and went abroad for several years. After returning home, everything went smoothly and my work went to a higher level. Later, I heard that he was learning guqin, and I was sincerely happy for him. Because "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine and tea" are the eight most elegant things in life, and Qin is the first of the eight. Anyone who can learn the piano is elegant.
? I haven't seen him for years. I know that he is all right, but I still can't help but think back to the past from time to time, and his warm and sincere attitude towards others, humility and low profile. Every time I think of this good friend, the first scene that comes to mind is that he is sitting alone in the study, quietly playing the piano, and the piano sound is everywhere and outside the window. ...
? In my impression, the first tune he learned to play was Nai Nai, which was melodious, fresh and very elegant. Later, I learned that "Yi Nai" refers to the sound of paddles or fishermen's trumpets. The tune comes from Liu Zongyuan's ancient poem "Fisherman". "An old fisherman spent the night here, and under the west cliff, Xiao Xiang burned Chu and bamboo. The smoke disappeared, and no one was seen at sunrise, only the creak of his paddle remained in the green mountains and green waters. I turned around and saw the waves coming from the sky, and the clouds on the cliff drifted carelessly. " Qu Zi expressed an emotion of tracing fishing firewood and caring for mountains and rivers.
? The smoke disappeared, and no one was seen at sunrise, only the creak of his paddle remained in the green mountains and green waters. After so many years, his piano skills must have reached a higher level now. I'm an amateur, so I need to send the words to my good friend to check.
? Soon, the reply came. He reminded that the last sentence can be changed from "the faint sound of the piano shakes my heart" to "the faint sound of the piano washes my heart". A word "polyester" is really wonderful, which makes the meaning of the word come alive immediately and conforms to the law of leveling. The finishing touch is really admirable!
? No matter how far a person goes, he can't leave his hometown and his relatives. So the mountains, water, people, clouds and moon in his hometown are inseparable feelings in our hearts. In fact, every time I listen to "Blue Sword", I will think of this good friend, thinking that he returned to his hometown after many years, sitting around in the mountains in the middle of Shu, playing the piano and singing, surrounded by childhood friends. Although everyone is no longer a teenager, Fahua has joined Bai Si. After meeting, they are still so kind, so familiar and so naive. The past time seems to be back in sight. How can the status quo not be exciting?
? So, how to express this beauty? I think maybe the best way to get this friendship is to raise a glass, play the piano, sing and get drunk. I didn't expect my friend to feel the same way, because he sent such a blessing from thousands of miles away: "Three or five friends in the mountains, making a pot of green tea and playing the piano, is the most wonderful!" From this perspective, friends are connected.
? If you ask the piano piece "Lan Xiang Jian", where is the orchid? I will say unequivocally that my friend is the most beautiful orchid in the valley.
? Later, I sent the song to other friends. Everyone is very happy. Thank you very much for recommending this piece. In fact, I should thank the first friend who recommended this song.
A good friend, whose hometown is in the Great Northern Wilderness, was educated by educated youth in the countryside when he was a child, learned to read music, and wrote a brief score for this song. It is produced in less than 1 hour. This is really a genius! I can compose music while listening, which is tantamount to climbing to heaven for me.
? Bai Ge also gave extremely valuable suggestions for revision. My original sentence was, "Even if you have words, you are poor, so you are drunk." . The wind is also a harp, and so is the moon. The piano is faint, washing my heart. "My brother said," Because wind and water have sounds, and there is no stringed instrument, they can be heard and tied with sound and dust. However, if you are drunk in the nature of the mountains and rivers and the characters are single-minded, you can also correspond to the next sentence. Please be honest. "Just look at these suggestions, you will know how high the level and realm of senior brothers are. I obeyed immediately and revised it to "I am poor even if I have a chest, so I am drunk." "The wind is also a harp, and water is also a harp. The sound of the piano is faint and washes my heart. "
Other friends also expressed their love for this song in different ways. Some people give speeches, some recite, some sing along, and some people go for a walk early in the morning listening to songs, which makes them feel particularly relaxed. ...
? It's great that a piece of music can bring us so much happiness, inspiration and thinking. No wonder Confucius listened to Shao and didn't know the taste of March meat!
Once again, I would like to extend my deep respect to composer Su Yi and famous guqin player Yang Qing, and thank them for their silent companionship. Looking forward to more new songs behind them!

Taking this opportunity, let's talk about why orchids have become one of the "four gentlemen in flowers" and why orchid culture has spread for thousands of years.
Confucius was the first person who loved and praised orchids in ancient China. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius traveled around the world 10 for more than 0 years and was not reused by governors. He went back to Lu to defend himself, crossed the hidden valley, and saw that it was unique. He sighed: "Fulan should have been the king's fragrance, but now it is unique and blends with the grass. For example, if you are still virtuous, you will be born at an untimely time and have a relationship with a humble husband. " So he stopped the car, helped the piano to sing, and Tolan quit, and died young and hurt himself, making "Light Light Cao":
? "... blowing gently, with rain. My sister married in the country today. It's heaven, not its place. Happy Kyushu, no fixed abode. The world explains that I don't know a saint. When you are old, you will make up your mind. "
Confucius not only liked orchids, but also wrote the piano music Cao Lan, which praised orchids. Piano music is full of tears and bitterness, expressing Confucius' ambitious but unattainable mood, and orchids in music are the sustenance. Since then, "orchid is king incense" has become a symbol of noble morality and modesty. Words such as "the quality of orchid, orchid room, secluded orchid in an empty valley" all come from Confucius' stories and are praised by later generations.
Qu Yuan is the second person who pushed orchid culture to a high position. King Xiang of Chu listened to the slanderers of villains and exiled Qu Yuan, a loyal and patriotic monarch, twice. After he returned to his hometown in Guizhou (now Zigui County, Hubei Province), he often lingered on the banks of Xiangshui River, lamenting that "Xiu Yuan Road is a long way, and I will go up and down" in order to serve the country again one day. Later, Wang Huai succeeded to the throne. He didn't listen to Qu Yuan's advice and was invited to settle in the State of Qin. He was trapped, captured and Chu died. Subsequently, Qu Yuan also threw himself into the Miluo River. In order to commemorate him, future generations will race the dragon boat on May 5 every year and throw brown seeds to feed the fish to save Qu Yuan and place their grief. This is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Qu Yuan loves orchids as much as Confucius, and he expressed his admiration for orchids many times in Lisao. "Hujiang divorced Bizhi, and Qiu Lan thinks she deserves admiration." It was he who entrusted his loyalty and patriotism to the monarch and his love for saving the world, and took orchids as a memorial to keep his noble sentiment. Although exiled, Qu Yuan insisted on planting orchids, diligently encouraged himself, and did not slack off day and night. "When walking, be close to the place covered with peppers, so as to motivate yourself to cultivate yourself from time to time and not follow the crowd." Famous sayings such as "Green leaves are blooming, blooming", "Qiu Lan is blooming, green leaves are blooming, purple stems are blooming" are widely circulated, which makes "Lan" synonymous with "gentleman, virtue, beauty and beauty", thus making "Lan" leave its own plant characteristics and become a cultural symbol.
If Confucius and Qu Yuan were the founders of orchid culture, then the wise men of later generations took orchids as their friends and encouraged them, thus further enriching and developing orchid culture. When we mention the poem "Looking at Nanshan leisurely under the hedge", we will immediately think of Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Sandoumi refused to bow his head and resolutely abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to collect chrysanthemums and raise orchids. "Orchids grow in the vestibule and have a fumigation effect on the breeze, and the wind will disappear. See you later. " Isn't this behavior of praising orchids a kind of whipping and encouragement to yourself?
Li Bai said with emotion: "There is a secluded garden in the lonely orchid, and all the plants and trees are abandoned." Although the sun shines brightly in spring, I feel sorry for the crisp moon in autumn. First frost early, green dare not rest. If there is no breeze, who will deliver the fragrance? "Isn't it obvious that Li Bai compares himself with Lanzi?
Su Dongpo had a rough life and was demoted several times, but he still said optimistically: "Smell the wind and smell the fragrance, but not Peng Ai"; Lu Lun directly compared orchids to gentlemen, "Beauty is better than vanilla, and gentlemen are fragrant orchids".
In the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Banqiao left a large number of blue paintings and poems. "One bamboo, one orchid and one stone, with joints, fragrance and backbone" not only becomes a symbol of personality, but also permeates people's personality and spirit into orchids. This strong symbolic significance has written a strong stroke in the history of literature and art.
"Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum" is known as "four gentlemen in flowers". Plum, cold and proud, is a symbol of perseverance; Bamboo, slender and straight, has its own beauty after winter, which is a symbol of supercilious personality; Chrysanthemum, beautiful and elegant, begins to bloom after the flowers wither, and does not compete with others, so it symbolizes the noble character of home. So, what's special about orchids?
? As far as plant morphology is concerned, orchids are "Ye Changqing, flowers are fragrant and natural". Clear air, clear color, clear air and clear rhyme, not exquisite and gorgeous, noble and modest, exquisite and refined, giving people a beautiful image of nobility and elegance, which is the nature of orchids; From the symbolic meaning of personality, "Lansheng was born in a valley, not because there was no one but he was not fragrant;" Xiu De, a gentleman, is not equal to being poor and defecting. So orchids are known as gentlemen in flowers.
? From the above story, we can easily think that the piano music "Blue Sword" belongs to lyric songs. It is not only a deep praise of nature, but also a praise and spread of noble and refined personality charm. This is the image of this song.

? If you like this song, you might as well try to sing it; If you have been intoxicated unconsciously, you will step into the situation of "asking why birds are euphemistic and Helan is asleep"; If you have infinite feelings in your heart, but you don't know how to express them, and you only feel that there is a leisurely meaning of "the wind is also a piano, and the water is also a piano, and the sound of the piano washes my heart", then you will find the feeling that the heart and the piano are one.
? What is the unity of heart and piano? There is nothing embarrassing and slow about playing chords and words in your mouth with your fingers. They are all from the heart, follow one's inclinations, follow one's inclinations, follow one's inclinations, and are speechless. They come out at once, and they feel particularly comfortable and happy to sing. Perhaps this is the unity of heart and piano.
? An example can illustrate this point well. In the era of the hegemony of the Three Kingdoms, Long Fu devoted himself to Nanyang and waited for the wise master for many years. Finally, he was invited by Liu Bei's three visits to the cottage, and prepared to go to Shu to repay the country. Before he left, Zhuge Liang's heart was full of dismay, and he couldn't help playing the piano and whistling:
? Mao Lu pays attention to three things and advocates the theory of vertical and horizontal.
? Meeting a half-life bosom friend is very stinging.
? In the Ming Dynasty, I took a sword and a feather fan to collect dust.
? Dragon, dragon, cloud,
? A long whistle can relax the chest.
? Going back and forth is my long-cherished wish.
? I spent the rest of my life as a farmer.
? The breeze will be in my arms tomorrow,
? Ape crane, listen to me before you touch the piano. ...
? How profound is this ambition, the unity of heart and piano, and the expectation of returning to the countryside to farm after the successful completion! If we were Mr. Zhuge himself at that time, I think you must be in tears when you said goodbye to your hometown with a sigh. This is the charm of music. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang had a rough idea and worked hard all his life, but he met a sinus that couldn't help him. As a result, he died in Wuzhangyuan at the age of 53, leaving a regret that "he died before he could conquer, and the hero cried on his skirt"!
? In fact, music, like literary works, is the carrier of emotional expression and cultural inheritance. The piano piece Lan Xiang Jian, like a beautiful essay, releases a spirit of caring for mountains and rivers, carefree and disappointed, and resembling a saint.
? Orchids are of high quality, while Eupatorium odoratum is expensive. Finally, I wish all my friends can love Lan, be a quality person, be a noble person, and be a person who is free from vulgar tastes and beneficial to the country and society. Perhaps, this is the greatest life inspiration for us from the piano music "Blue Sword".
