The background and content of the three plum blossoms are discussed
The Plum Blossom San Nong was a classical music track from Jiangnan. It originated from the Tang and Song Dynasties and was already complete. After the Ming Dynasty, it became popular in Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places. "Plum Blossom Three Strokes" was a song composed of three separate pieces, named "Jade Hairpin Story","Silver Nut Silk", and "Song of the Rising Tide in the Blue Sea". Each song had a different tune and way of expression, but their common feature was that they all described the love life of women. The background of the story was the story of the Grand Mistress of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. Her name was Pan Jinlian. She was the daughter of Taichang Zhang after the fall of Wu. Because she was a widow, she was chosen by an official at that time to be the maid of the Grand Madame of Wu. However, Pan Jinlian's beauty attracted the attention of Taichang Zhang's son, Zhang Cang. In order to pursue Pan Jinlian, Zhang Cang proposed to Pan Jinlian's father. However, because Pan Jinlian already had her own husband, Taichang Zhang could not agree to this marriage. In the end, Zhang Cang challenged Taichang Zhang to a duel, but Zhang Cang was killed by Taichang Zhang. The plum blossoms in this story were to commemorate Zhang Cang and his three maids. The plum blossom was a symbol of Chinese culture, representing a noble, strong, and unyielding spirit. The three songs represented the complexity and change of women's feelings. The beautiful and moving music of " Three Strokes of Plum Blossom " was often used in classical music. In addition, it also had a certain artistic value in the contemporary era. Some people called it the " fossil of Jiangnan classical music."
