“I’d like to invite President Ding next.”

Ding Yongning, the president of the Central Guqin Society, who looked impressive in a suit and leather shoes, stood up and said, "Young Master Cai, my piece is a three-person ensemble, and I need to borrow your piano."

"No problem." Although he was a little dissatisfied with President Ding's neglect, everyone was invited. What else could Cai Gaoyang say?

The Cai family is extremely wealthy, so naturally there is a piano on site. Soon the piano and chairs were all arranged.

President Ding waved, and two male assistants came up, one sitting at the piano and the other with an erhu. President Ding himself played the guqin.

Professor Wu Wan frowned imperceptibly.

Yan Zixiu saw it and knew in his heart that Professor Wu Wan, as a member of the literati qin school, did not like the tricks of the artist qin school.

Some people even insist on using the most traditional silk strings.

One guqin player once said: "I use metal strings mainly for playing. If I use the guqin as a tool, of course I have to choose something that is convenient. I treat the guqin as a friend. Silk strings are relatively fragile. If it feels uncomfortable, I will know it as soon as possible."

He believes that metal strings are a modern product, lacking the elegance and profound tone of silk strings, and the changes in tone when playing are not rich. Emotions cannot be reflected through the sound of the piano, and the guqin naturally lacks "character".

Of course, people in the artist qin school also think that literati qin players are conservative, only care about their own entertainment, have a high self-esteem, are not close to the people, and are not down to earth.

After President Ding and others were ready, they played a song called "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies Dream".

The two factions have always had this kind of opposition throughout the ages, but in fact no one can live without the other.

"New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies Dream" is Mr. Huang An's masterpiece, and it is also the ending theme of the TV series "Bao Qingtian".

President Ding sang while playing: "The reason is that only new people laugh, who hears old people cry? The word love is so hard. Do you have to ask someone to understand, or do you have to pretend to be confused? It is difficult to be content with knowing more and knowing less. It seems that a person

Mandarin ducks and butterflies, it’s an inappropriate time, but who can get rid of the sorrow in the world. In the colorful world, mandarin ducks and butterflies are already crazy in the world, why bother to go to the sky, why not sleep together gently..."

"No problem, I'll do it myself." Seeing how calm he was, Cai Gaoyang felt a little more confident, and he washed his hands and burned incense himself instead of letting a servant do it for him.

The audience was of course happy to hear one more song and applauded one after another.

Cai Gaoyang has already made plans at this time. When the event is over, no matter whether he offers a high price or plays the emotional card, he must get a handed down Guqin for Dr. Yan.

As President Ding and the three people played and sang, everyone felt the youth, elegance, time, and the endless twists and turns of old dreams, as well as a mixture of lingering poignancy and letting go.

The lyrics and music of this song are like the nectar of time, and the family affection, love, and friendship in it are endlessly memorable.

He stepped onto the podium and was about to announce the end of the event. Suddenly President Ding said: "Mr. Cai, wait a minute!"

…

The audience in the audience took a look and found it interesting. It seemed that President Ding was dissatisfied with Dr. Yan being equal to himself and came up with his own tricks.

Everyone is lying down and resting on the grassland, playing around, or communicating with each other, carefree and free.

…

Its lyrics were re-created by Mr. Huang An based on Li Bai's "Farewell to the Principal Secretary Shu Yun at the Xie Tiao Tower in Xuanzhou" and Du Fu's "Beauty". "Farewell to the Principal Secretary Shu Yun at the Xietiao Tower in Xuanzhou"

wrote in

: "Whoever abandons me will not be able to keep yesterday's day; whoever messes with my heart will have many worries today... Cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow more, raise a cup to relieve the sorrow, and the sorrow will become more sorrowful. If life is not satisfactory in the world, tomorrow will spread

Flatten the boat."

"President Ding, what are you...?"

Like Cai Gaoyang, they are all afraid that Dr. Yan will be worse than before. If someone boos him again, he will lose all face.

"Brother Cai, please help me burn a stove of fragrance." Yan Zixiu's Qiankun Ring contains all kinds of fragrances, but it is not convenient to take them out here.

Yan Zixiu sat upright, calmed his mind, and then gently stroked the strings.

As the music of the piano flows, the curtains behind the large windows around the living room suddenly flutter, and a warm fragrant breeze blows from the outside. Everyone just feels that they are on a prairie with flowers in full bloom. The sky is so blue and the clouds are so white.

Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant everywhere, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The Guqin Appreciation Exchange Meeting is coming to an end.

President Ding smiled and said, "That's right. I see that Dr. Yan is very knowledgeable in Guqin, and we have also invited him to the guest of honor table. Can we please invite him to play a piece of Guqin for us?"

Where’s the ear blessing?”

I don’t know how long it took, but everyone came back from the wonderful state and found that they were still sitting in the hall. Feeling their body and mind again, they all felt that they were transparent inside and outside, relaxed and comfortable, their minds were clear, and they were in a happy mood.

President Ding opened his voice and sang the lyrics: "Yesterday was like the flowing water in the east. It can't stay when it goes far away from me. Today, my heart is full of worries and worries. Cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow even more. I raise a cup to relieve my worries. The breeze of the Ming Dynasty

Four drifts."

This kind of re-creation is called implicit, which is a very common literary technique. For example, Su Dongpo likes to implicitly include ancient works, and his works are often implicitly included by later generations.

Not only Cai Gaoyang, many people were stunned.

"Oh, it's so comfortable."

As the saying goes, you don’t know what the music means when you first hear it, but you already feel like it when you listen to it again. Many people were moved emotionally, reminiscing about the fleeting years and the cantabile years, and shed tears silently. Among them was the star Tian Hua, maybe he remembered the relationship with himself

It's the friend who plays the opposite role.

After President Ding and others finished playing and singing, a burst of warmer applause broke out.

Cai Gaoyang complained about President Ding in his heart. The event was about to be a success, so why did he still have nothing to do? If Yan Zixiu's level of playing the guqin is not as good as Professor Wu Wan and you, President Ding, wouldn't it make the whole event an anticlimax and ultimately disappointing?

The end?

But what President Ding said was a conspiracy, and there was no way to deny or reject it. Yan Zixiu was indeed invited to the stage as the guest of honor.

Du Fu's "Beautiful Lady" contains: "There is a beautiful lady who is unparalleled, living in a secluded valley... But when you see new people smiling, how about hearing old people crying? The water in the mountain spring is clear, and the spring water out of the mountain is turbid..."

Mr. Huang and others are more knowledgeable. Looking at Yan Zixiu's performance, they know that there will be an even more amazing show coming soon.

No matter how much the scholar Qin looks down on the artist Qin, he cannot stop the charm of the artist Qin.

However, Yan Zixiu’s idea was to bring the Medicine Buddha’s vows to everyone at the right opportunity, so that those who are destined to benefit would benefit: “Then it is better to be respectful than to obey.”

Cai Gaoyang looked helplessly at Yan Zixiu, expecting him to say that he only knew how to appreciate the piano but not how to play it, and then he would use the donkey under the slope to announce the end of the activity.

President Ding was a little surprised when he saw him taking things so seriously, but then he comforted himself that this young man was just pretending.

Is Dr. Yan going to play the guqin after two wonderful performances?

Mr. Huang, Boss Lin, Tian Hua, Gu Yingzhi, Professor Wu Wan and other kind people are all worried about him.

The piano, guqin, and erhu successively played soothing and slightly sentimental melodies, evoking people's experience of the impermanence of life and triggering emotional resonance with everyone's hard experiences of internal and external troubles.

"Yeah, it's been a long time, it's been a long time since I felt this comfortable."

"What kind of music is this? How can it have such a magical effect?"

"It doesn't feel like music from the human world."

Suddenly someone said in surprise: "The birdsong just now was not an auditory hallucination or an image. There were really birds outside."
