Gao Yuan knows that in another time and space, in 1978, in the tomb of Zeng Hou Yi unearthed near Suizhou City, Hubei Province, China, a number of clocks were found, a large number, well-preserved, complete rhythm, magnificent, even called rare treasures, and Suizhou area, in this era, is the territory of Chu State.

However, Gao Yuan only heard of the bell of the tomb of Marquis Yi, but he did not go to the museum to see it with his own eyes, and in this time and space, Gao Yuan has been in charge of Dai County for seven or eight years, but he has not cast the bell, because of limited resources, bronze has to be used to cast weapons and armor; Second, there is also a lack of craftsmen who know this skill, to cast chimes, not only to understand metallurgical casting technology, but also to be proficient in music.

It's just that I didn't expect Chu to give himself a complete set of bells, even in this era, such a set of bells is priceless and immeasurable, and Chu actually sent such a generous gift, which also shows that Chu attaches great importance to this mission, even if it can't be discussed, it must have a good relationship with the plateau, after all, only the plateau can fight against the Qin state now.

At this time, Chun Yu Zhongxiu said: "I have heard for a long time that the bell casting skills of Chu are clever, and when I see such a set of bells today, I know that this statement is indeed true." ”

Luo Mingzhu also said: "Yes, it would be better if I could listen to the music played with chimes again." ”

Chun Yu Zhongxiu said to Xiang Dong: "Doctor Xiang must have brought a musician to play the bell, I don't know if he can play a song for us, and let us listen to the music played by the chime." ”

Although the other people in the banquet did not speak, they all showed a look of deep approval, after all, anyone who saw such a batch of beautifully made chimes naturally wanted to listen to the music played with the chimes.

After receiving the praise of Chun Yu Zhongxiu and Luo Mingzhu, Xiang Dong was also a little proud in his heart, and at the same time felt that he had shown his face, so he smiled and said: "Don't hide it from you, this time I did bring a group of musicians, and I also arranged some songs and dances to celebrate Wu Anjun's accession to the throne. ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "This is very good, please ask Doctor Xiang to arrange it." ”

Xiang Dong listened, immediately waved his hand, and after a while, I saw a group of male and female musicians, lined up in two columns, under the leadership of a middle-aged woman about forty years old, wearing a high crown and wearing a robe, walked into the main hall, each person held a variety of musical instruments in his hands, including the common qin, sheng, flute, zhu, se, as well as wooden sticks and gongs of different lengths.

Everyone saluted to the plateau first, and the middle-aged woman said: "Yu Qiaozhi, the musician of Chu State, has seen Wu Anjun. ”

At this time, Xiang Dong said: "Wu Anjun, Mrs. Yu is the best musician in my Chu country, and this time my king specially ordered her to come and play music for Wu Anjun." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "King Chu is gracious, I am really grateful." ”

Legong also belongs to the category of craftsmen, but the status of this era is not high, not as good as the general civil engineering and casting craftsmen, but a little higher than the average civilian, so the king of Chu should send Yu Qiaozhi to Lingshou, in fact, this group of musicians is sent to the plateau, after all, the chimes of Chu State, only the musicians of Chu State can play well.

Xiang Dong said again: "Mrs. Yu, this is the first time to play for Wu Anjun, you must do your best, don't displease Wu Anjun." ”

Yu Qiaozhi said again: "Yes." Then he commanded everyone to take their positions.

Originally, there were 12 musicians who played the bell, divided into six men and six women, each bell frame had two men and two women to play, the male was tall and strong, holding a thick and thin stick, standing in the outer ring of the "凵" shape, while the female was slender and slender, holding a wooden hammer about two feet long and T-shaped with both hands, kneeling in front of the chime, although it had not yet begun to play, but it had formed a very sharp contrast. On the left and right of the bell, there are more than ten male and female musicians, using musical instruments such as qin, sheng, xiao, zhu, and se. Yu Qiaozhi stood in the middle of the "凇" shape, holding a small stick in his hand, as if he was the conductor of the band.

The whole hall immediately fell silent and listened to the band.

I saw Yu Qiaozhi gently wave the wooden stick in his hand, and the musicians kneeling around the chime immediately started together, playing and playing, and the sound of pleasant music sounded.

After the music went on for about 20 seconds, I saw Yu Qiaozhi gently touch the wooden stick again, and the six big men behind the three bell stands immediately raised the big stick in their hands and struck the bell, but some people hit the giant bell with the thick end, and some people hit the small bell with the thin end, and the female musician waved the small bell and struck it quickly on the chime, so that the music was connected.

The sound is solemn and vigorous, elegant and bright, as thick as the galloping of thousands of horses in the sky, and like the tide of the sea pouring into the river, roaring between the clouds and mountains; It is as elegant as the murmuring and flowing stream in the mountains, and like the dew of bamboo leaves, falling in the deep pool, so that everyone present is fascinated and does not know where they are. Other instruments such as qin, sheng, xiao, zhu, and se, all of which were overshadowed and became the foil of the chime.

Just when everyone was listening, I saw that there were two groups of singers from the Chu State, who had already floated in from outside the hall. And these sixty-four singers did not wear the common light gauze long sleeves when dancing, but tied all kinds of feathers on their dance clothes, and also had a long pheasant tail on their heads, and the dancing posture also seemed to imitate the movements of birds, making gestures such as flying, spreading their wings, jumping, drinking water, playing, etc., and they also sang while dancing, but they were all sung in the dialect of the Chu State, so the vast majority of the people present could not understand it.

However, listening to the beautiful music played by the chimes, and the dance movements of the singers of the Chu State are also very different from those of the Central Plains, with the jump of the rhyme, it is also a unique taste, even if you can't understand what is sung, but it is also interesting to watch.

After singing the song, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they were free to reminisce about the song and dance just now, but everyone thought in their hearts that it would be nice if they could understand what they were singing.

And just as the music was about to end, suddenly the bell rang loudly, and all of a sudden it became high-pitched, and some people immediately heard that it was still the music that had been played before, and the singers scattered and stood up, as if they were ready to dance again, was it difficult to repeat the song and dance just now?

Just when everyone was privately speculating, they saw a figure like the wind floating into the main hall from outside the main hall, and it was as light as a fallen leaf, and the singers on the field immediately dispersed, giving up the middle position to the newcomer.

I saw that the new dancer was light, his feet seemed to rise and fall, and the whole person seemed to be gliding on the ice, and he was flying in the air, with a very beautiful posture, and then he danced and spun like a whirlwind, fluttering and fluctuating, and his clothes were flying, which made people dazzled. At the same time, I saw the new dancer bow his body, his toes lightly, his jade arms swinging, and his slender waist twisting, making a dancing posture.

At this time, everyone looked at it, and saw that the new dancer was wearing a flowing gauze like a flowing cloud, with a long skirt and sleeves dragging on the ground, and the gauze was also decorated with colorful feathers, and wore a delicate flower crown, on which were inserted seven or eight pheasant tails several feet long, and more than a dozen feathers hung down, almost even her hair was covered, but her face was covered with a mask, only the nose and mouth were exposed, and her appearance could not be seen, but her skin was as clear as jade, red lips were like vermilion, and the lines were beautiful, obviously she should be a very beautiful woman.

And the vocal music resumed, and the masked woman fluttered her long sleeves like flowing clouds and danced.

She dances lightly and swiftly, like a wild deer that flickers in the grass; It is like an elf wandering alone under the night moon, with some bleakness and loneliness, but also full of ardent expectations. The other sixty-four singers formed two circles around her, turning forward and backward, waving their long sleeves, graceful and graceful like Xiaoxiang water clouds, in the mist of the clouds, but hidden water and clouds, endless flow, endless aftertaste.

As the dance unfolded, the masked woman lightly opened her lips and sang.

She still sang the same song that the singers sang before, but this time it was not in the Chu language, but in the language common to all nations, so everyone could hear it clearly:

Feng Xi Feng Xi, the top of the mountain, three years without flying, soaring into the sky.

Feng Xi Feng Xi, the top of the high mountain, three years without a sound, a blockbuster.

Feng Xi Feng Xi, why don't you fly for three years? Feng Xi Feng Xi, why not sing for three years?

Feng Xi Feng Xi, three years without flying, in the top of the high mountains; Feng Xi Feng Xi, three years without singing, in the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is cloudy and smoky, the road is long, the road is long and cold, and the cold is on the top of the high mountain.

The sun rises in the east and the clouds disperse, and the clouds and smoke disperse and the road is visible. The road can be seen that the body can be ambiguous, the body can be ambiguous and soar into the sky, and the body can be ambiguous and soaring into the sky.

After singing a song, the masked woman swirled lightly, bowed her body, raised her jade arms, and bent her waist slightly, and also made an extremely beautiful and moving posture, and the other singers stopped moving, and at this moment, the sound of the music gradually decreased until it was inaudible.

But in everyone's ears, the music seemed to be unstoppable, and the sixty-five dancers on the stage were still motionless.

It took a long time for everyone to come to their senses, and immediately there was a round of applause, and only then did the sixty-five dancers on the stage gather their postures and stand with their hands down.

Li Yinghong whispered in Gao Yuan's ear: "I used to think that Sister Maiji's dancing posture was the most beautiful, but I didn't expect that there would be someone whose dancing posture would be better." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded, the sword dancer's dancing posture is indeed very beautiful, but there are still some craftsman breath, chiseled traces, due to its lack of aura; The masked woman dances with a visceral passion, like a dancer and a dancer, although their movements are almost identical, but they are completely different in spirit.

Therefore, Gao Yuan turned to Xiang Dong and said, "I really deserve this generous gift from the Chu State." ”

Xiang Dong said with a smile: "The singing and dancing skills are just a laugh from the crowd, not enough to say, Wu Anjun is too serious." ”

At this time, Li Yinghong smiled and said: "Why does this young lady still bring the mask, can you let her take the mask down, let us see her true face?" ”

In fact, Li Yinghong's words are exactly the wish of all the men present, if this masked woman does not take off her mask, let everyone see the true face, even if she appreciates such a beautiful dance and beautiful music, but there is still a fly in the ointment.

I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and everything is easy
