Chapter 1516 Harmony, "A Hundred Birds Come to Court"
Xia Weibao glanced at the judges who were already showing dissatisfaction.
For these music madmen, musical instruments are their own weapons, and no matter what the reason is, they don't even protect their own weapons well.
Just not a qualified musician.
Looking at the audience who were worried about her, their eyes paused for a second on Pei Hong's anxious and guilty face.
Only then did he look away, and met the pride and mockery on David's face.
Xia Weibao curled his lips coldly.
He lowered his head and looked at the Guqin in front of him with all broken strings.
Reach out, stroke one of them lightly, and speak slowly to the audience.
"Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and the guqin alone is an inexhaustible treasure. I don't know how many people here know about the guqin.
Has anyone heard of the stringless harp? "
After finishing speaking, there was a clang, and one of the strings was ripped apart in her hands.
After hearing her words, everyone in the audience showed puzzled expressions.
Harmony?
What the hell!
Can a qin without strings still be called a qin? Can it be played? Just kidding.
Those foreigners who don't understand have already taken out their mobile phones to Baidu to find out what a stringless piano is.
As for Pei Hong, after being puzzled, he showed an excited expression.
It is said that Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, liked rhythm but did not understand it, so he prepared a plain qin at home, and often played the qin to entertain himself in his free time, but there was no sound of the qin, because his qin had no strings and no emblem. It's just using the action of playing the piano to entrust my thoughts, that's all.
Whenever he had a drinking party with his friends, after drinking for three rounds, he always asked his friends to play the qin, while he himself took out the stringless qin and played with the sound of his friend's qin, as if his stringless qin could play anything Like music.
Some friends laughed at him, so he replied, "As long as you can understand the meaning of the piano, why do you have to let the strings make sound?"
Later, the allusion of "stringless qin" was used to refer to a qin without strings, or to describe elegance and taste, different from popular customs, or to express extra-string feelings.
It is well known that an unstringed harp cannot really be played, because there is no sound.
However, few people know that there is really a person in history who once played the stringless harp!
That is Empress Bao of the Great Xia Kingdom!
It is said that Empress Bao has mysterious and unpredictable abilities, and killing people with a qin is one of them.
Once, she singled out an army of 100,000 with one person and one piano, and later she won.
But after that time, Emperor Xia Liang was furious, saying that she liked playing the qin so much, so he gave her a broken string qin for her to play.
If you can't play it, you will be thrown into limbo.
Empress Bao broke all the strings in a rage, and impromptuly played a song "A Hundred Birds Come to Court".
The final result is unknown, and there is no real historical record.
He also only saw a few words in the "Secret Talk of the Great Xia Kingdom".
As for whether that incident is true, no one knows whether Queen Bao really played "Hundred Birds Come to Court" on a stringless qin.
No one has ever heard the song "Hundred Birds Come to North Korea". It was impromptu played by Empress Bao, and there is no music score.
But that incident should have been fabricated by the people, not true.
Emperor Xia Liang was able to dethrone the Six Palaces for Empress Bao, and only favored one person in his life, so how could he be willing to put her in the cold palace.
Besides, the two of them were still not equally affectionate and loving, so there was no part of the gap.
Because of this, very few people know about it.
