He suppressed the anger in his heart and wanted to go back and find Yoko. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the rest cabin, he saw Yoko walking towards the activity cabin with Lin Changxiu and talking side by side.
Seeing Du Fei with an angry look on his face, Lin Changxiu waved his hand warmly and gracefully: "Hi~ I haven't seen you for a while~ Where have you been?"
However, Yoko beside him interrupted him impatiently: "Ignore him! Now tell me how you defeated the big manta ray last time at sea?"
Du Fei's passionate blood seemed to be suddenly hit by a basin of cold water from head to toe! His eagerness to try seemed to have been frozen! But he still endured the trembling pain in his heart and followed the two of them.
Lin Changxiu suddenly turned around and said to Du Fei: "By the way, Du Sang (Sang: a Japanese name for friends, no further explanation will be given later)! Today I have a Noh performance in the activity cabin, please do the same
Come and see!”
"Him?" Yoko then freed up some energy to pay attention to Du Fei: "He is from China, and he should know nothing about Noh~~Please ask him to watch~He is also a duck listening to thunder~"
"Who said that! A lot of Japanese vocal music originated from China! How could I not understand that?" Du Fei finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Yoko's attitude made him feel very confused. He felt that even a snobbish person shouldn't
So obvious? What on earth is this little girl Yoko thinking? He really couldn't guess.
I saw that the Nanman-style hall was already filled with gorgeously dressed businessmen and passengers who had set up this boat.
"The show tonight is New Brahman, which is my favorite!" Lin Changxiu shook his head and clapped the hachiman fan in his hand happily.
That night, Lin Changxiu chose a seat in the middle and sat down. Yoko quickly sat down next to him. Du Fei saw this and grabbed the seat next to Yoko. There was a woman sitting between the two men.
It is obviously a precursor to the outbreak of war! This seat is very interesting.
Du Fei was intent on understanding why Yoko was so obsessed with this effeminate Lin Changxiu. He didn't even pay attention to the show.
Suddenly, a mournful and sonorous shakuhachi sound was heard, and all the oil lamps in the hall were blown out.
I saw huge candles lit at the four corners of the stand not far away, and a man with shaggy hair and a large and gorgeous court dress was leaning over the simply built wooden stage.
Shakuhachi's voice began to get lower and lower and more miserable, but the voice was very high-pitched! A unique sound quality impacted Du Fei's eardrums. He suddenly put aside his resentment.
He remembered that Hezi once told him when he was in Kyushu that Noh is a kind of masked mime that combines the styles of many countries, mostly tragedies.
The white-haired man in the center of the stage suddenly raised his head! He was wearing a very ferocious ghost mask on his face! He stood up slowly and danced with strange and rhythmic steps.
With his body in complicated and gorgeous clothes, every move, hand, and foot looks very powerful, although his range of motion is not large.
He holds the same hachiman fan as Lin Changxiu in his hand, and keeps dancing to the rhythm of the drums! Every gesture shows the beauty of his manners. It seems that this Noh performer should have strong dance skills and an understanding of the historical events he is performing.
grasp.
This white-haired ghost-faced man seemed to be a very powerful man, and his behavior and dance were very arrogant. The dancer's performance made the viewers unconsciously feel disgusted with this white-haired man.
At this moment, a red-haired ghost-faced man appeared in the lower right corner of the stage. His face seemed to be more ferocious than the white-haired man! I saw that his pace was several drum beats faster than the white-haired man. After a while, he
Came behind the white-haired man.
The white-haired man suddenly stopped moving, and began to sit down cross-legged. He murmured to himself, and the music at this time began to become cold and solemn! The tones of the shrill shakuhachi and shamisen became louder and louder.
Come faster and faster!
Suddenly the white-haired man shouted "Oh!!!"! A wooden knife appeared in the hand of the red-haired ghost-faced man!
While the red-haired ghost-faced man swung his wooden knife, the white-haired man quickly leaned over, as if begging for mercy!~~~At this time, the sound of the instrument began to become obviously sarcastic, which further highlighted the unbearableness and hypocrisy of the white-haired man.
!
Just as Du Fei was fascinated, suddenly all the lights in the hall were lit up! He didn't react for a moment and looked around. When he looked back to the stage, the two Noh performers had disappeared.
!
Du Fei couldn't help but applaud along with the audience in the audience! Although he didn't know what the two men were metaphorically speaking, their skillful interpretation skills and dance skills really made him happy.
"Okay!" Lin Changxiu, who was sitting one seat away from Du Fei, was also cheering loudly, holding a hachiman fan. Although he was trying to save face, he couldn't help but quietly asked an old man next to him: "Uncle! What does this play mean?
"
"Hey~~How bold~Have times really changed~" The old man beside him seemed to have not come out of the drama. He shook his head and said: "How bold! Aren't they afraid?
Will the Buddha punish me?"
Du Fei saw that this old man was hopeless, so he asked a young man behind him.
The young man seemed to appreciate the play very much. He was shocked when he heard Du Fei's question: "Why don't you even know about Brahmin?"
It turns out that there is a classic play in Japan called Brahman. The original play is a serious religious play that praises the Buddha, promotes Buddhism to save all sentient beings, and saves life from hell and fire. But the reason why the word "new" is added in front of the piece performed today is because
It completely reversed the meaning of the original play. It turned a play that was originally a praise into a bitter satire and ridicule of the Buddhists represented by the white-haired ghost-faced man!
"The performance is really good!" The young man seemed to be a little unsatisfied: "This must be the official Noh played from the Owari Oda family! Lin Changxiu is really proud!"
Oda Nobunaga? Satire on Buddhism? Du Fei seemed to understand at once: Only a madman like Oda Nobunaga would risk the world's disapproval and compile this kind of music. In this island country where 80% of the people believe in Buddhism,
Performing such a play in any daimyo's territory would risk beheading.
"How's it going! Du Sang! Did you have a good time today? How do you think this compares to the Chinese Music of the Tang Dynasty?" Lin Changxiu smiled at Yoko, but he was talking to Du Fei.
"It's a little too dull and serious~~" Du Fei pretended to understand and blundered: "The style of music and drama are not as gorgeous and bright as those in Middle-earth!"
