w88 casino News Network (Reporter Wu Tong Photography Gu Bozhi)At 18:30 on April 24, the twelfth lecture of the library’s humanities and culture lecture series, “The Beauty of Qin Song—A Model of Chinese Literary Music,” was held in the 109 lecture hall of the library. This lecture was delivered by He Yi, a piano musician and soprano singer. Library Director Qiu Xiaohong and Party Branch Secretary and Deputy Director Yan Jing attended the lecture.
Ms. He Yi introduced the model of Chinese literati music from four aspects: the first impression of Qin song, the history of Qin song, and the spread and aesthetics of Qin song——Qin songs, and let the teachers and students present understand the beauty of Qin songs through live playing and singing.
Qinge, that is, playing the qin and singing, is an art that combines poetry and music. This form of qin song has existed since ancient times: from the "Shenren Chang" and "Southern Wind Song" in ancient times, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period"Confucius composed all three hundred and five poems with strings and songs"; from the Tang Dynasty when "poems were used as music, and there were no poems without songs", to the Song Dynasty where "the songs were paired with the piano and the piano music was matched with lyrics", and then in the Ming and Qing dynasties where the two dynasties "removed the text in order to preserve the hook", Qin music and Qin songs began to have obvious branches...
Ms. He Yi not only talked about the long history of Guqin, but also talked about the spread and appreciation of Guqin songs. With the help of qin music, the fingering techniques of qin songs can be passed down; by absorbing folk music and Buddhist and Taoist religious elements, qin songs can continue to develop. When it comes to how to appreciate Qin songs, Ms. He Yi starts fromThe aesthetic method is summarized in three levels: "sound review", "tonal review" and "music review". Only by examining the "tone color change" of the sound, the "rhyme processing" of the sound, and the "blank space", "cadence" and "succession and transition" of the music can we appreciate the beauty of the piano song.
In the process of narrating Qin songs from a rational level, Ms. He Yi also interspersed with playing and singing of classic Qin songs such as "Secret Fragrance", "Yangguan Three Layers", "Autumn Wind Ci", and "Humble Room Inscription", allowing the teachers and students present to understand the beauty of Qin songs from a perceptual level. She sits upright and plays the piano, one finger is ethereal, the other is clear and distant; sometimes the wind and clouds are rising, sometimes she is calm and elegant. The sound of the piano merges with the human voice, leisurely like waves of pines, responding to the empty valley; clear like the ripples of autumn water, lightly touching the shallows; bright like the sparkling full moon, shining down on the Han Dynasty tiles; and sonorous like the clatter of iron hooves flying over the Qin bricks. When the piece was played, the audience listened attentively and quietly understood the charm of the sound. When the piece ended, the audience applauded warmly and could not extricate themselves from the music.“Integrating ancient sounds into playing and singing, you feel like you were born especially for music.” Library Director Qiu Xiaohong spoke highly of Ms. He Yi’s playing and singing.
“The more you know about an excellent art form, the more beauty and happiness you will get from it.” At the end of the lecture, Ms. He Yi also taught the teachers and students present how to sing the qin song "Yellow Ying Yin" to deepen their understanding and understanding of the qin song. Teachers Zhou Hui and Ding Jianghong, the librarians of w88 casino, presented the piano song "Song of the Ancients" to the audience and had an in-depth exchange with Ms. He Yi.
“This lecture allowed us to enjoy a cultural feast,” deputy director Yan Jing pointed out in summary. This lecture allows teachers and students present to have face-to-face communication with cultural masters, and has a positive effect on teachers and students experiencing the beauty of China's excellent traditional culture represented by Qinge.
This event is hosted by the w88 casino Library, Academic Affairs Office, and the Seventh Branch of Chaoyang District of the Kuomintang.
