In history, Li Qingzhao once commented on several major lyricists of this era: "Ou, Yan, and Su are not in harmony, although Liu is in harmony with the rhythm and the words are in the dust, Uncle Yan has no explanation." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Su Shi is a little wronged in this, he understands the rhythm of music, but he regards words as poems, and he is unwilling to damage the meaning and charm of words because of the rhythm. It was also from him that the bold words became their own, and the slow words created by Liu Yong that were not on the stage were also elegantized. Since Su Shi, Song poetry can be regarded as comparable to Tang poetry, and it has its own pattern.

The few schools that were ridiculed by Li Qingzhao for not being in harmony with the rhythm actually clearly contained the characteristics of poetry in the words, and it was quite difficult to sing. The words should be sung, not only to conform to the rhyme, but also to match the words and meanings of the words, otherwise the courtesans will sing the tune, and the meaning of the words will not be obvious. The meaning of the words is complete, but the tone is wrong.

Yan Shu's Xiaoling has this characteristic the most, the rhythm is neat, and it is as rigorous as a poem. But it is not easy for ordinary Qinglou courtesans to understand the meaning, and it is basically impossible to sing well. On the contrary, Liu Sanchang, who is proficient in music, doesn't care much about the rhythm. In the same word card, the number of words in Liu Sanchang is different, the level is different, and the rhyme is also changeable, which is not the same thing as the strict rhythm of the words in the impression of later generations. It's just that he knows how to sing, and he writes lyrics according to singing, and the rhythm is just a reference for him, and he doesn't have that kind of restrained feeling.

Zhang Xian, another Tongyin law, also has this characteristic in words, and the words he makes often do not match the usual number of words and words, but it does not affect the singing. It's just that his language is more elegant, and what he writes rarely involves the love between men and women.

Xu Ping arrived at the edge of the pond and saw Ouyang Xiu smiling crampedly there. He is also good at writing words, but unfortunately, the "Ou" in the three families of dissonance and rhythm that Li Qingzhao said refers to him. When the words are made, they look left and right and look very proud, and they want to have rhythm and taste, but as soon as they are taken and sung by courtesans, the problem arises. Today, there are two connoisseurs here, and as soon as the courtesans have difficulties, Liu Sanbian goes up to help correct them. Ouyang Xiu has always been conceited of literary talent, and when this kind of thing comes a few times, his face is a little unbearable.

Seeing Xu Ping coming, everyone came over to salute.

Xu Ping said: "The despicable place is shabby, and I neglect you." If you need anything, just tell the person next to you. ”

Ouyang Xiu was impatient with everyone's teasing, and the old man next to him looked at it and was under pressure, and said to Xu Ping: "Everything is good here, but the courtesans invited are more ordinary, and many songs can't be sung." ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. If it was usual, he would still be down the stairs when he said this, but now that there are two big experts here, Liu Sanbian and Zhang Xian, no one will believe him.

Han Qi, Wang Su, and Ji Ying stood under a willow tree with their hands together, and said to Ouyang Xiu: "There are many people talking today, so it's better to listen to music quietly." There are Liu Zhang and the others, and they are not afraid of no new words to listen to. ”

Ouyang Xiu's face turned red and said in a loud voice, "Why don't you believe me? My Linjiang Immortal, who was once sung improvised in Luoyang at that time, why is it not in harmony now? As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhang Xian: "Ziye, you were also there at the time, tell me about it?" I sang it then, but now I can't sing it, I can only be a singer! ”

Zhang Xiandao: "When I sang that day, there was actually something wrong, but Qian Xianggong was at the table, so it was not easy to say it clearly." ”

Hearing Zhang Xian's words, Ouyang Xiu looked at the sky speechlessly, and could no longer refute it.

None of the people present at the time stood up to help Ouyang Xiu speak, just because Yin Zhu and others thought that Ouyang Xiu was talented and incompetent, and persuaded Qian Weiyan to clean him up. As a result, at that banquet, Ouyang Xiu was late because the prostitute who was with him lost the golden hairpin, and he was supposed to be punished, but he made this Linjiang Immortal and avoided it.

After Qian Weiyan was demoted to Suizhou, Wang Shu took over as the left-behind division of Xijing, and he was much stricter with his subordinates, and Ouyang Xiu's problems slowly changed. Now that I mention it again, naturally no one will help him speak.

Seeing Ouyang Xiu's embarrassment, everyone let him go, and Liu Sanbian said to Xu Ping: "The weather is fine today, and guests and friends are gathered, why don't you make the first new words and let the singer try to sing?" ”

Xu Ping looked at Liu Sanbian in a daze, and directly said that he couldn't do it? Not okay? It's normal for the singer to be able to sing the lyrics in its entirety, and it can be regarded as a gathering of literary elites here, and only Liu Sanbian and Zhang Xian, who are good at lyrics and songs, are often mixed in the Qinglou, and others are also not good. Good or bad is a first-class jinshi, a minister, at least according to the method of composing poetry, the ability to make the first words, this ability is a must.

After thinking about it again and again, Xu Ping found that his heart couldn't calm down at all, and his mind was full of those famous poems that he had memorized in his previous life. This kind of impromptu word-making is very painful for people like Xu Ping, who have not dissolved into the current environment at all, and always think about being lazy from future generations, how can they make words quietly.

In the end, Xu Ping said helplessly: "A few days ago, when I was idle, I remembered the old things on the battlefield in Yongzhou at that time, and I felt it. ”

"Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield.

The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor spleen! ”

After listening to this, Liu Sanbian was silent, and said after a while: "If this word is a poem, it is excellent, but if you want to sing it, I am afraid that it will not be." "Breaking the Array" is a big song, and it is not easy to take the tune. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "I want to come too." I don't know anything about rhythm, I just fill in the words according to the grid. ”

Zhang Xian gently pulled the corner of Liu Sanchang's clothes on the side, and said: ""Breaking the Array Music" is originally martial music, and the meaning of the words to be made is still the same, I and Qiqing will give it a try, and it may not be impossible to sing." ”

Xin Qiji's lyrics were originally sung and sung with Chen Liang, not for impromptu singing, and it is normal that he can't sing it. "Breaking the Array" is taken from the "Qin King Breaking Array Song" by Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty in order to show his martial arts, "Breaking the Array" is a large martial art song in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song people only intercepted one of the pieces and used them for lyrics. This word card was first created by Yan Shu, and it was precisely because of this that Xu Ping remembered to use it, but changed the last few words. He was still early from Bai Cheng, he returned to Beijing for a year, and he had never experienced martial arts, and the sigh of the spleen and flesh of Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty could barely be used.

Because it is a part of the interception of "Breaking the Array Music", the tunes of this word card are not the same, and the tune is also changeable, and it may not be impossible to sing it when Xin Qiji. But at this time, it had not been much time for Yan Shu to create this word card, and there were few people who used this word card, and according to Yan Shu's temperament, it was completely unrelated to generosity and majesty. According to the piece he intercepted, how can he sing the taste?

It depends on Zhang Xian and Liu San to change the two, how to choose the tune of "Breaking the Array" and sing this word. (To be continued.) )
