Qin Chu Yuhuang

At dusk, the two boarded the boat under the mottled light and shadow on the ground.Tian Luli leaned against the window and watched from a distance, playing the pan flute in the half-light.The sound of the flute is desolate and sad, with a low echo and long, dissipating at the junction of water and sky.Jiang Jitang rarely had the opportunity to appreciate Chudi's silk and bamboo, tapping his knuckles lightly on the table to the melody.Chu Yin is lingering and mournful, but the music in his hometown is grand and grand.He also played drums and sang long songs in the village drinking ceremony, and sang with the girl playing the zither.Seeing the sun sinking to the west and the water rippling, he couldn't help but want to play a song with the afterglow, but unfortunately there was no bell in front of him, so he could only sigh in disappointment.

After the song was over, Tian Luli gently placed Guan Yan on the table.The slanted light dyed the uneven bamboo tubes inch by inch, making Tian Luli's fingertips exquisite and translucent.Jiang Jitang nodded, and said with a smile, "The beauty of Nanyin really lives up to its reputation. Ziheng, it turns out that you are so accomplished in rhythm."

Tian Luli was a little embarrassed: "However, when I was young, I studied art with a teacher for three years. It's hard to say that it's a small achievement. What achievements can I talk about?"

"Don't be modest, music and dance in Chu is the best in the world. Ziheng, you grew up in Southern Chu and was deeply influenced. How come you don't have profound attainments? However, I often hear Chu's melancholy, which seems to be interrupted. Today, I heard a song by you. , it seems not necessarily the case, Ziheng, would you be willing to explain my doubts for me?" Jiang Jitang asked curiously.

"Chu Yin has a desolate and mournful voice, as well as an impassioned tone. Like the Nine Songs "National Martyr", it is vigorous and tragic, not inferior to Qin Feng." Tian Luli had a proud look on his face, "And some pieces of music start like Zeng Bo in the Autumn Water was like a dragon leaping into an abyss and a phoenix dancing in the nine heavens. He competed in all directions and changed his voice to the fullest. Just as the "Da Zhao" said: "The cymbals will be wild, and the drums will be played. The court was shocked and sent out "Ji Chu" some.' Eight-tone ensemble, magnificent."

"Such fairy music, if I am lucky enough to hear it, I will have no regrets!"

Tian Luli suddenly laughed and said, "It's better to figure out the clear tone by yourself after hearing people playing strings. My teacher gave me the music score of "Ji Chu" and it's also in my luggage. In the future, we can play a piece together." He took out a volume. The bamboo slips were passed to Jiang Jitang, and Jiang Jitang studied them carefully by the light, full of praise.

"Ziheng, the music of "Exciting Chu" is played with the yu zi, but I have never learned silk and bamboo." Jiang Jitang suddenly raised his head, with a very regretful expression.

"It doesn't matter." Tian Luli understood, "There is also drum music in "Ji Chu", Zi Nan, you can play the drum."

Jiang Jitang nodded, holding the scroll and began to think seriously.Tian Luli also sat beside him and read with him by the lamp.

Returning birds pierced the sky, the sound of water murmured, and the moon rose. It was another good night.

After the first summer, the number of ships gradually increased.Jiang Jitang sailed across the thousand sails with oars, startling the waterfowl in Zhuzhong.The lights in the distance are gradually brightening, and melodious music can be heard faintly.Tian Luli packed his bags and came out of the cabin, standing behind Jiang Jitang, looking at the city that was competing with the stars in the sky.

"Zi Nan, in a while, we can abandon the boat and go ashore."

The boat passed among the reflections of the continuous pavilions along the coast, and faintly saw the glowing flames of the bronze lamps in the pavilions.When they arrived at the ferry, the two packed their bags and went ashore.Jiang Jitang was thinking about finding a place to settle down first, but Tian Luli led him through the winding streets to a small courtyard.

Tian Luli knocked on the door three times, and someone opened the door to welcome him in.The man was about [-] years old, and looked at him with a smile in his arms: "Junior brother, long time no see! Qin Chuhe, you finally have a chance to come back."

"That's right, it's been ten years since I left Yingdu." Tian Luli stepped into the atrium, "There have been many years of war and no news, so I don't know how my brother is doing?"

"It's not the same as before. On weekdays, I go to the doctors' homes to play the harp, and to entertain the gods during the ceremonies. I can live on." Night and day. Although this is enough for me to support my family, I still have some worries in my heart. Reunion after a long time, let's not talk about these things. Mr. Jiang, thank you for taking care of Lu Li all the way. I bought some utensils for you and Lu Li, as a congratulations A small gift for housewarming."

Jiang Jitang quickly thanked them, and the man led them around the small courtyard before leaving the courtyard.Tian Luli put down his luggage and lit the lamp in the southwest corner room. The room was brightened instantly, and the flickering light of the fire climbed up to the zither and drums displayed by the window.Jiang Jitang was taken aback, and looked up at Tian Luli, but Tian Luli only smiled and said, "I knew you were good at playing drums when I was in Xianyang, and I bought one when I trusted my brother to arrange the residence. I want to listen to you drumming in my spare time." Or being able to play a few songs with you is also a joy in life."

Jiang Jitang was silent for a long time, looked up at Tian Luli seriously and said: "Ziheng, although I am difficult for Boya, you are really my son. If you want, I would like to play a piece of "Ji Chu" with you tonight. "

The lights went out, and Tian Luli was sitting in front of the table and putting Se on the case.Jiang Jitang aided Fang in beating the drums. At first the sound of the drums was slow and deep, and then the sound gradually became stronger.Tian Luli leisurely fiddled with the silk strings, producing little ripples like fallen leaves in a deep pool.Afterwards, the clear springs flew to rinse, the rainbow drank from the streams, the autumn water was wrinkled, and the gentle wind turned sharply.Jiang Jitang suddenly hit the drumhead hard. At this time, Tian Luli's ten fingers were jumping on the 25th string.The sound of the drums is getting faster and faster, and the strings are getting louder and louder, and the five tones will come together, and the drums and zithers will sing together.After a period of rapid drumming, the music stopped abruptly.Soon, the distant rustling sounded, and the low-pitched drum music followed.Tian Luli's fingertips slid across several silk strings, ending the whole song with the sound of feathers.

He nodded to Jiang Jitang with a smile, and said, "Zi Nan, with such a talent, it's a pity that you don't want to be a musician."

"It's just that Ziheng taught you well." Jiang Jitang also laughed.The two played the strings and drums across the small room lights, and they didn't feel that the moon was in the sky.
