Chapter 1357 Xiaoxiang Shuiyun

When they heard Chen Yi's words, everyone was a little disappointed and could not see the unbreakable characteristics of the Ice String Sword on the spot. However, when they heard the words behind, they suddenly showed a strong expectation. Another magical point only appeared today. What exactly was it?

The media reporters who learned some information through secret channels showed strong expectations on their faces. From the news they received, the sound of the ice string could shock the soul.

"What I discovered are the ice strings in the legend of China. They are not just lines that cannot be cut by a few swords, but strings made of ice silk. The best strings of the Chinese guqin. Since they are strings, the unbreakable characteristics of swords are not the most important. Then the most important thing is what these ice strings can play on the guqin. This is another magical point I call, the sound of ice strings."

Chen Yi touched several ice strings on the guqin and said to the media reporter at the scene, but did not pluck the ice strings.

"When we got the ice strings, we didn't know the sound they played. Today, in the London Youlanqin Club, we put the ice strings on a Ming Dynasty guqin, and truly witnessed their sound. The first piano piece after the ice string appeared was played by Ms. Cheng, the president of the Youlanqin Club next to me." As he said that, Chen Yi pointed to President Cheng standing next to him.

President Cheng also gave a gift to everyone, showing the style of traditional Chinese etiquette. Although this first piano piece was played by her, it was no less than Chen Yi's piano piece.

There was also a burst of applause at the scene. President Cheng of Youlanqin Club was welcomed to appear on stage. Many media were very unfamiliar with Youlanqin Club.

After all, this guqin club is facing people who love guqin, and has never held very large concerts, and its fame is only spread among Chinese and guqin lovers.

But that's the past. With this press conference, the Youlanqin Club will definitely be very famous. The media that came to attend the press conference are all well-known news media from all over the world.

"The video materials of the piano music played when Bingxian appeared today have been completed and will be displayed to you later. Now, please listen to the sound played by Bingxian on the spot. Please ask President Cheng to play it for us." Chen Yi pointed his finger at President Cheng.

Hearing Chen Yi's words, the media reporters showed a hint of expectation and applauded. They thought they would play some audio of piano music at the press conference. Unexpectedly, they played it live.

Afterwards, Chen Yi walked off the release stage. On the release stage, with the help of two apprentices, President Cheng placed the guqin flat on the table, and then the staff brought another bench.

After helping her master play the guqin, Lin Wanqing and the other person walked down the entire release stage. Only President Cheng and his guqin were left.

At this moment, President Cheng showed a hint of emotion on his face. The piano music played by Chen Yi with the ice strings was far superior to her, but he gave her the opportunity to play at the press conference.

She believed that the soul-stirring sound played by the ice strings would definitely shock the world this press conference, and also make them famous all over the world.

"Thank you Mr. Chen for giving me this opportunity to play. Thank you for your listening. I will give you a song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" to you." President Cheng slowly raised his head and said to everyone on the scene, then played the strings lightly and started playing his own.

Although this song Xiaoxiang Shuiyun is not among the top ten ancient songs in China, it is also a very famous guqin song. It is more difficult than the three plum blossoms, reaching the highest level of the guqin grading, level 10.

This song was created by Guo Mian, a guqin performer, composer, educator and founder of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang School.

At that time, when the Yuan soldiers were heading south to invade Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Guo Mian moved to the vicinity of Hengshan, Hunan, and often sailed at the confluence of Xiao and Hunan Rivers. Whenever he looked at Jiuyi Mountain from afar, he saw the rushing clouds and waters, which aroused his infinite emotion about the broken mountains and rivers and the drifting times, thus creating this song to express his nostalgia.

When the ice strings appeared, the first piano piece she played was the Three Plum Blossoms, which used the white fragrance and toughness of the plum blossoms to praise people with noble moral integrity. This song Xiaoxiang Water Clouds is used to express inner depression and nostalgia through the flow of Xiaoxiang Water, water light and cloud shadows.

As she played, a flowing overtone appeared, and the ethereal sound seemed to make people enter the artistic conception of blue waves and smoke. As the first note was played, everyone at the scene couldn't help but beat suddenly, and a strong shock appeared on their faces.

Although many people at the scene were foreign media reporters, they had more or less heard Chinese guqin music. These sounds played by guqin are indeed distant and ethereal, but like now, there have never been guqin music that can make their hearts tremble.

Is this the sound of the ice string? Is this the best string in Chinese legend? All the media reporters on the scene were shocked.

During the following listening, everyone was deeply immersed in the artistic conception brought by the sound of the piano. Even though some of them did not understand the Chinese culture at all and did not understand the meaning of the four words "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun", this does not mean that they could not feel the artistic conception created by the sound of the piano.

The first few pieces of piano music show the author's depressed and worried inner world in a smoky way. Although the piano sound is elegant, it makes people feel a dull and depressing atmosphere.

When the fourth section of the piano music was originally layered with bass melody, it suddenly increased significantly, making people feel depressed in their hearts instantly, as if they were uncovering the clouds and seeing the sunshine as refreshing.

During these zither music, the tremor in their hearts did not stop. The ethereal and clear sound merged with the artistic conception displayed in the zither music, making them feel as if they saw pieces of water flowing through their eyes.

As time goes by, the piano music goes from low to high, and then to the whole part of the song, making everyone feel as if they see the scene of clouds and water rushing. The clever combination of many tones of the piano music seems to be intertwined into a picture of sky light and cloud shadows and a vast atmosphere.

At the end, the melody returned to the front and became low, as if the rushing water flow, in the end, turned into a powerless aftermath.

This song of Xiaoxiang water, clouds and scenes blends, makes full use of many techniques in guqin playing, and concentrates on the subtle beauty of clear, subtle, light and distant in guqin art, and is thus recognized by piano players of all dynasties as a model work in guqin music.

The trembling of the ice strings slowly stopped on the guqin in front of President Cheng, but everyone at the scene was still immersed in the lingering sound of the piano.

If they didn't care about the artistic conception in the piano music, the ethereal sound of the piano alone had already shocked them. This seemed to be the clearest sound in the world they had heard, and the clearness made their hearts tremble.

The tune from low to high also changed their moods, especially when the rhythm was changed, which made them break out of depression, as if they came from the darkness to light.

The landscape artistic conception brought by the sound of the piano music is also vaguely felt by them. The ethereal sound and the sound of flowing water are combined, making them seem to see flowing water. In this piano music, they are already deeply immersed in it, and their feelings are far stronger than some of the piano music I have heard before.

The one who felt the deepest was undoubtedly the members of the Chinese appraisal team next to them and some Chinese journalists. Under the influence of Chinese culture, they naturally could deeply feel the artistic conception brought to them by the piano music.

Although the piano music played by President Cheng was not as magical as Chen Yi brought them, it was beyond the experience they had heard before.

And they felt that this piano piece was better than the previous three songs of Plum Blossoms. It seems that during the time before the press conference, President Cheng probably did not rest, but played the guqin in the room, familiarizing himself with the characteristics of the ice strings.

As time went by, everyone on the scene gradually escaped from the piano music and looked at President Cheng on the release stage with shock. Although they had some extraordinary expectations for the legendary ice string in China, when its sound was really played, they knew that they had completely underestimated the magic of ice strings.

Every note and every piece of music seem to enter their hearts, allowing their hearts to rise with the changes of the piano music.

Soon, the first person slapped his palm, and it kept sweeping around like a wave. Everyone clapped enthusiastically, with surprise and excitement on their faces.

It is no wonder that Chen Yi listened to the sound of the ice string and wanted the whole world to know it, but because the music played by the ice string was too shocking. In this world, all art is based on touching people, and the sound played by the ice string is not as simple as touching people, but can make their hearts tremble.

"Thank you all, thank you again for giving me the opportunity to play this time." President Cheng stood up and bowed to everyone to express his gratitude. Then, she smiled and said, "In fact, at this press conference, there was a person's guqin level that was better than me. The music played with ice strings was even more shocking than what I played just now. In the video materials of ice strings coming to life, you can hear his guitar sound, which represents the true magic of ice strings." (To be continued.)
