During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, An Wanshan, a musician from Anguo in the Western Regions, was very influential in Beijing. He especially likes to knock on the cymbals. On New Year's Eve, five or six people, including the famous poet Li Hao, got together to drink, and An Wanshan played the piano for them. The melodious music of the ancient Qiuci instrument fascinated everyone. Li Hao's poems are full of enthusiasm, and he immediately wrote a poem "Listening to An Wanshan's Bangzi Song", which wrote:

The bamboo in Nanshan is an infant, and its music was first introduced from Persia.

It spread to the Han Dynasty and became a novel, and Aw Hoe in Liangzhou was played by me.

Rumors often sigh, bringing tears of homesickness to the wandering eyes. ..

Many people like to listen; But few people understand, because of the morning breeze.

It's like the rustling of old cypress trees and the chirping of nine young phoenixes.

It's like a dragon singing and a tiger roaring and generate at the same time, and it's like the autumn sound of spring in autumn.

Suddenly it turned into a small, tragic, sudden dark cloud that turned the sky from flying to flying.

The next change is as lively and cheerful as Yang Liuzhi, as if I saw the flowers in the garden among the flowers.

On New Year's Eve, Hall A on the ceiling, a glass of wine, a glass of wine.

According to the theme of this poem, bamboo was cut in Nanshan to make a hairpin. This instrument was first introduced to the mainland from Kikucha, Xinjiang, and the music became more beautiful after that. The poet praised An Wanshan for playing the cymbals incisively and vividly, which was chilling for a while. -For a time, such as the eclipse in Huang Yun, there was no light during the day, which was very tragic; Later, the music changed again, making people feel full of spring again, like a hundred flowers blooming and dazzling.

New Year's Eve, above Gaotang, is brightly lit. People appreciate his superb skills, and the wine is more fragrant and beaming! Listening to An Wanshan playing the bangzi reflects the historical facts of cultural exchange between Xinjiang brothers and Han nationality in Tang Dynasty.

2. Young children have won a reputation for themselves.

In the middle Tang Dynasty, there was a boy named Xue Yangtao, who was good at playing the violin and was very appreciated by the great poet Bai Juyi. Once held a banquet in Chang 'an to entertain musicians in the teaching workshop and artists in Beijing. Hundreds of guests were well dressed, singing and laughing. There is only a boy in rags here. People laugh at him and look down on him.

But when he played the cymbals, people were surprised and immediately cheered and applauded. I didn't expect a boy of 12 years old to be so skilled! Xue Yangtao's name is very popular.

Bai Juyi specially wrote a long poem "Xiao Xue Tong Yang Tao Blowing the cymbals", which recorded the musicians' skills. The poem reads: under the guidance of the teacher, teach the voice, including chewing between heaven and earth.

Runzhou city is full of frost and bright moon, and the frost and moon are about to sing.

Why is it quiet at the foot of the mountain and by the river? If apes don't breathe, dragons will listen.

The sound of silence is suspected of pipe crack, and the sound of sound is suspected of knife cutting.

Sometimes soft and boneless, sometimes frustrated and tangled.

The sharp sound turns round and keeps improving, such as beads.

The slow sound develops long and straight, one straight as a pen.

The falling rocks are loud and the clouds are loud.

The poet vividly described Xue Tong's performance. Famous poets in the Tang Dynasty, such as Yuan Zhen, Li Deyu and Luo Yin, also wrote poems praising Xue Yangtao. Through these records, it can be proved that there were not a few people who were good at playing cymbals in the Tang Dynasty, and many people played very well and were quite popular.

3. A story and a love story

Wei Chiqing, a native of Khotan (now Hotan City, Xinjiang), is famous for playing cymbals. According to Yuefu Miscellanies, "Wei Chiqing was an official of a general in the German Zong Dynasty. During the Dali period, there was a king slave in Youzhou, who was good at this technique and was the first in Hebei. I am proud of your technology ... "After visiting Wei Chiqing, I am ashamed. Manu cried and thanked him and said, "Those who despise the border will be invincible if they learn this skill once in a while;" I was fortunate enough to hear Tianle today, and I realized the former. " He expressed great admiration for Wei Chiqing's playing skills, and later they became close friends.

This incident became a much-told story in the music history of China. It shows that swaddling clothes are widely loved in the society. Both Han artists in the Central Plains and national artists in the Western Regions often exchange performances and learn from each other. Many people from dignitaries to ordinary people are good at playing swaddling clothes, which is very popular in the society at that time. This musical instrument is very popular all over the country, and even the emperor has become a famous cymbal player. "Legend of Lu" says: "Tang Wenzong is good at playing small pipes (that is, cymbals)."

Since ancient times, many feelings have hurt each other and deserve to be left out in the cold. ...

Where did you wake up tonight, Yang Liuan, Xiaofeng and the waning moon? ...

Over the years, it should be that its moments of beauty have been in vain, so who will tell us about the myriad customs? ...

4. It's rainy and rainy

The famous percussion songs in the Tang Dynasty include Music Not Drunk, Farewell Difficult, Yulin Order, Knife Tune and so on. Among them, there is a story about the origin of Yulin Mountain.

In 756 AD, an Shi Rebellion captured Chang 'an, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to the southwest with Prime Minister Yang and his favorite concubine.

Just over a hundred miles outside Chang 'an, the hungry and exhausted imperial soldiers defected, killed the traitor Yang, whom everyone hated, and forced Xuanzong to hang himself. This is the famous "Mawei Incident" in history. After killing Yang Guifei, the imperial army continued to go south.

The Qin-Shu plank road, which winds high into the clouds, enters the oblique valley, but it is drizzling constantly and the road is difficult. In the most dangerous place on the plank road, there are iron ropes for people to climb and support, and bells are hung on the ropes. People walk with a rope chain, and the bells correspond to each other before and after, taking care of each other.

Xuanzong was heartbroken when he heard the intermittent ringing of the bell in the night rain. This situation reminds me of Yang Guifei's infinite thoughts. In memory of Yang Yuhuan, he wrote a piece of music "Yulinling" with tears in his eyes, expressing his thoughts and sadness during his journey.

At that time, Zhang Yehu (also known as Zhang Hui), a musician in Liyuan, was beside Xuanzong. He is a famous infant performer in Tianbao. Xuanzong auditioned for him "Yu Lin Ling", and the music was accompanied by deep sadness. Xuanzong listened to the emotion and burst into tears. Later, when he returned to Chang 'an, Xuanzong often asked Zhang Yehu to play this piece for him.

The lingering melody in the poem was loved by frustrated literati in Song and Yuan Dynasties, which became the origin of the inscription "Lin Yuling". Lin Yuling, written by Liu Yong, a slow-song poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, spread the music because of its "sadness" and became a famous ancient song in the history of Chinese music.

Ancient Qiuci musical instruments were introduced into Korea and Japan from China. Up to now, in Masakura Hospital in Nara, Japan, there is still an infant of China in the Tang Dynasty, which has become one of Japan's national treasures.
