Chapter 363: This is the flute, an ancient Chinese musical instrument
This performance of Lin Xia.
It can be said that it exceeded everyone's expectations.
Because Lin Xia's performance this time was not only on the stage as a DJ, but also successfully aroused the emotions of all the audience.
More importantly, Lin Xia showed an innovative DJ dance music that perfectly combined ancient Chinese musical instruments with modern electronic music.
This dance music shows the charm of Chinese ancient musical instruments.
The guests and audience present were all shocked and amazed.
They immediately felt that it was really worth it to participate in this show, and they really got a huge surprise.
From the opening to the end, Lin Xia's performance made people deeply feel the power and strong plasticity of Chinese ancient musical instruments.
In fact, many people in China are not confident about the ancient musical instruments of China.
They are considered inferior to guitars, pianos, etc. Musical instruments that are popular around the world are not well known to the public.
Although the Chinese instruments do have some music, the Chinese people listen to it very well.
But there are always people who think that these voices will not be liked by people from other countries.
However, Lin Xia's performance completely broke the limitations of people's thinking about ancient Chinese musical instruments.
His DJ dance music perfectly combines various ancient Chinese instruments with modern rhythms.
It shows people the various possibilities of ancient Chinese musical instruments.
Especially for the guests present and the musicians watching the show.
Perhaps they had no intuitive concept of the powerful plasticity of ancient Chinese musical instruments before.
But this time, after watching Lin Xia's performance, they felt that their music creation seemed to be able to achieve a breakthrough because of the ancient Chinese instruments.
Because electronic music has developed for so many years now, it has actually ushered in a new bottleneck.
Because some sections of electronic music are relatively limited.
Moreover, the commonly used electronic music abroad only has so many fragments.
So naturally, after electronic music has been developing for such a long time, there is basically nothing new and attractive.
Even most of today's electronic music, when everyone listens to it, it just feels very noisy.
Very noisy and without any meaning.
This is also where all the musicians who produce electronic music are criticized.
But this time, Lin Xia's song did not give them such a feeling.
On the contrary, Lin Xia's electronic music even made everyone feel the Chinese culture.
This melting of culture brings a unique charm to people.
It can be said that Lin Xia's performance on the stage really made people feel the infinite possibilities of electronic music.
It also made people aware of what kind of sparks can be created when the ancient musical instruments of China are combined with electronic music?
Lin Xia's performance also allowed those people to see a brand new model.
And this is also the feeling that Lin Xia's performance brought to everyone.
However, after Lin Xia's performance ended, just this electronic music performance ended.
Lin Xia's performance is not completely over yet.
In the surprised eyes of the audience and the guests present.
At this time, Lin Xia walked off the DJ stage and came to the center of the stage.
At this time, the entire stage also underwent tremendous changes.
Although I mentioned that piece of music before, it was also a combination of electronic music and Chinese culture.
But the main background and elements on the stage are mostly based on electronic music or DJ.
As Lin Xia walked to the center of the stage, there were a lot of green bamboos around the stage as the background.
Moreover, there are more and more elements of Chinese style on the entire stage.
At this time, Lin Xia, after arriving at the center of the stage, took off his outer suit, revealing the blue gown underneath.
At the same time, many new dancers came up from the surrounding area.
They were all wearing blue gowns, and there were gradually more bamboo forests and ink painting scenes around them.
There was also a staff member on the stage, trotting towards Lin Xia.
He handed Lin Xia a flute.
Seeing the flute suddenly appearing in Lin Xia's hand, the audience in China already knew what Lin Xia's next performance would be.
But they were really surprised that Lin Xia could play the flute.
What I didn't expect was that Lin Xia could actually play this relatively unpopular musical instrument.
But for those foreign audiences and guests.
They really didn't know what the stick in Lin Xia's hand was.
Now, they are all looking at Lin Xia on the stage with great curiosity, wanting to see what kind of surprise Lin Xia on the stage will bring them with this stick.
While the dancers around were preparing.
The general background at this time also began to introduce the instrument in Lin Xia's hand to many people who did not know what the instrument in Lin Xia's hand was.
After all, this program is facing audiences all over the world.
Perhaps only people from the Huaxia Kingdom know what kind of musical instrument this is, and it is very likely that only a small number of people from the Huaxia Kingdom know what this musical instrument is.
Most people don't know much about this instrument.
So the background at this time also revealed what the long stick in Lin Xia's hand was.
flute.
historical.
It can be said that the history is longer than many people imagine.
Many people may think that the Chinese flute must have a history of hundreds of years.
In other words, it was an instrument that was invented and became popular during the Tang and Song Dynasties.
However, the history of the flute is really an exaggeration, because the flute can be traced back to the Neolithic Age.
At that time, the ancestors lit bonfires, set up prey, sang and danced happily around the captured prey, and drilled holes in the tibias of birds to blow on them (using their sounds to trap prey and transmit signals).
This situation gave birth to the oldest musical instrument unearthed in China - the bone flute.
In 1977, bone whistles and bone flutes were unearthed in Hemudu, Yuyao, dating back about 7,000 years.
This ancient musical instrument even has a history of seven thousand years, which is very exaggerated.
However, this is not the earliest record.
In May 1986, 16 vertical bone flutes (made from bird limb bones) were unearthed from an early Neolithic age site in the east of Jiahu Village, Wuyang County. According to measurements, they are more than 8,000 years old.
The sound holes range from five to eight, with seven-tone flutes being the majority. Some sound holes have small holes added next to them, which are completely consistent with the modern Chinese national tone.
This flute is the world's earliest playable musical instrument.
This is also recognized globally, but many people don’t know it.
During the Huangdi period, about 4,000 years ago, a large number of bamboos grew in the Yellow River Basin, and bamboo was chosen as the material for making flutes.
"Historical Records" records: "The Yellow Emperor sent Ling Lun to cut bamboos in Kunlun, cut them and make flutes, and then played them to make the phoenix sing."
Using bamboo as the material is a great progress in flute making. Firstly, bamboo vibrates better than bone and the pronunciation is crisper. Secondly, bamboo is easy to process.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were already seven-hole bamboo flutes, and two-headed flutes were invented. Cai Yong, Xun Xu, and Emperor Wu of Liang all made twelve-rhythm flutes, that is, one flute with one tune.
In 1978, two bamboo rafters were unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Suixian County. For the two flutes unearthed from Han Tomb No. 3 in Mawangdui, the plane of the blowing hole and the plane of the sound hole intersect at an angle of about 90 degrees.
This is very similar to the position of the blowing hole on the tomb flute of Marquis Zeng.
In terms of time, they are hundreds of years apart; in terms of space, Changsha, Hunan and Suixian, Hubei are hundreds of miles apart, but the positions of the blow holes are almost the same.
It can be seen that from the pre-Qin to the early Han Dynasty, the horizontal flute or flute was a common form.
During the Warring States Period, the chi was one of the main melodic instruments played during sacrifices to gods or banquets. The flute was also very popular. Song Yu, a student of Qu Yuan, also wrote about the flute in the south at that time, which was very similar to the modern flute.
After the Han Dynasty, the horizontal flute played a very important role in the drumming music of the court and the army.
This fact reminds people that the development of the Chinese national flute has broken away from its early primitive form, becoming more reasonable and perfect in terms of temperament, shape, etc., and increasingly cooperating and harmonizing with other instruments in the band.
Before the Han Dynasty, the flute mostly referred to the vertical flute. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the flute has become the common name for the vertical flute and the horizontal flute, and has continued for a long time.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the horizontal flute, also known as "Hengchui", was developed. It occupied a very important position in the drum music of the Han Dynasty.
In the Jin Dynasty, there was a recorder. A piece of wood was added to the blowing head to allow the air to pass through the gap and shoot to the two whistle holes and the edge of the tomb to produce sound.
During the Northern Dynasties, flutes were not only extremely common, but also developed, with great changes in shape, length, and thickness.
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, it began to have the name "Hengdi".
In the late Sui Dynasty, ten-hole flutes appeared that could play the chromatic scale.
On the big screen, the introduction about the flute came to this point.
In fact, many people at the scene expressed great surprise.
Everyone knows that the ancient musical instrument dizi comes from China, and they also know that this instrument is relatively early in history.
But what people didn't expect was that this flute would come so early from now.
This musical instrument actually has a history of 8,000 years.
It can be said that this introduction is quite shocking.
Especially many foreign audiences, after hearing this introduction about the flute, can be said to have become more and more interested in and shocked by these ancient Chinese musical instruments.
What I didn't expect was that it would be 8,000 years later.
The sounds heard by ancient people 8,000 years ago can actually be transmitted through this ancient musical instrument.
And this introduction also made many musicians start to have a strong interest in the flute.
Likewise, they are also looking forward to what kind of music Lin Xia can play through this flute.
At this time, on the big screen, the introduction about the flute continued.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, both the "Da Heng Chui Department" and the "Small Heng Chui Department" of percussion music used horizontal flutes.
Among the "Yan Yue" music types of the Sui and Tang Dynasties for people to enjoy and entertain, the horizontal flute (called Hengliu at that time) was widely active in the orchestra. The horizontal flute can also be seen in the Dunhuang Sui Dynasty murals and the pictures of Tang opera musicians.
Play.
In some other historical pictures, flute-playing postures in two directions were also found.
Records of famous flute players have appeared in the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Mo, Sun Chuxiu, You Chengen, Yun Zhaoxia, etc.
Among them, Li Mo once studied with musicians from Qiuci in the Western Regions. Because of his extraordinary flute playing, his skills were outstanding. During the Kaiyuan period, he was known as "the best in the world" in terms of flute playing ability.
Volume 148 of Chen Xuan's "Book of Music": "The seven-star tube of the Tang Dynasty is also an ancient flute. It is shaped like a string and is long. Its number is filled with seven orifices. It is blown horizontally. There is a hole on the side with a bamboo film attached to it. It resonates and helps the sound.
It was also done by Liu Xi..."
Perhaps at least since the Tang Dynasty, flutes with the timbre characteristics of Chinese national film flutes have appeared.
The membrane on the flute is one of the most unique symbols of the Chinese national flute.
After all, the flute was the musical instrument that was first discovered by the Chinese nation.
However, it is not only owned by the Chinese state, there are also many, many instruments similar to the flute abroad.
For example, clarinet, Mongolian flute, etc., these are almost all of the same kind as the flute.
Therefore, the Chinese flute is quite different from the flutes from other countries.
Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been distinctions between large horizontal flutes and small horizontal flutes.
At the same time, the flute played vertically is called a flute, and the flute played horizontally is called a flute. In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Cai made the "Shakuhachi", played it vertically, and introduced it to Japan.
In Shoso-in, the ancient capital of Nara, there are four transverse flutes made during the prosperous Tang Dynasty in my country.
Among them are one ivory and carved stone transverse flute, and two bamboo flutes. They are different in length, but they all have seven oval sound holes.
Liu Xi made the seven-star flute with a membrane to aid the sound. He was the first person to add a membrane to the flute.
Since the 7th century, the flute has been improved, with membrane holes added, which has greatly improved its expressive power, and its playing technology has also developed to a very high level.
There are various flute systems in the Song Dynasty, including the cross-hand flute, the dragon-neck flute, the small horizontal flute with eleven holes, the large transverse flute with nine holes, the jade flute with seven holes, etc. With the rise of Song lyrics and Yuan opera, opera flourished, and flutes became the accompaniment of many types of operas.
musical instruments.
It is divided into two categories according to the type of accompaniment: bangdi and qudi.
In folk opera bands, the flute is also an indispensable instrument.
In the 1960s, Zhao Songting invented the pan flute, which tied two to four flutes of different tunes together. The sound range could be expanded by more than three octaves. The music was rich in variety and easy to play.
From the new "Kou Di" (also known as Yu's Flute) in 1971 to the "Bone Whistle" and "Bone Flute" unearthed in Hemudu, Zhejiang in 1977, people were surprised to find that there were such similarities between the two.
But this similarity has gone through more than 7,000 years of history.
The evolution and development of the flute over the course of more than 7,000 years can’t help but amaze the world: the Chinese bamboo flute art is so magnificent and colorful.
With the end of the introduction, the stage was all set.
At this time, Lin Xia, on the stage, was ready to show everyone the natural sound of the Chinese flute. She likes to mistakenly drag the queen into the family crowd, but she shows her cards and invites everyone to collect: (www.sodu777.net
