Suddenly heard the sound of pipa on the water, the host forgot to go home, the guest did not start. Then he secretly asked who was playing the piano. the pipa music stops, I'm about to speak slowly. Move the boat close to invite each other to meet, add wine back to the lamp to reopen the banquet. Only after a thousand calls did he come out, still holding the pipa half covering his face. The rotating shaft plucked the strings three or two times, and before the tune was formed, there was emotion. The strings of the strings are suppressed, and the sound of thinking is like complaining about the unhappiness of life. Lowering his eyebrows, he continued to play, saying all the infinite things in his heart. The first song was "Six Yao," which was followed by "Nishang." The sound of the big strings is like the rapid rain, and the sound of the small strings is like a whisper. There was a loud noise, and the pearls fell on the jade plate. The orioles in the pass whisper at the bottom of the flowers, and the deep swallow spring flows under the ice. The icy spring is cold and astringent, and the strings are condensed and cut off. The sound of condensation is not heard for a while. There were other sorrows and hatred. At this moment, silence was better than sound. The silver bottle suddenly burst into water, and the cavalry rushed out with swords and spears. At the end of the song, I plucked the string carefully and drew it carefully. The sound of the four strings was like tearing silk. East boat west boat silent, only see the river center autumn moon white. He put the plucked string in his hand and straightened his clothes. She claimed to be a daughter of the capital and lived in the foot of the toad tomb. At the age of 13, he learned to play the pipa, which was called the first part of Jiaofang. After the song has been taught to wear good talent, make-up is often jealous by autumn Niang. The young people of the Five Ling Dynasties competed to wrap their heads, and the number of red silk in a song was unknown.

There are few pommel horses in front of the door, and the eldest son marries a merchant's wife. Merchants value profit and despise parting. A month ago, they went to Fuliang to buy tea. Go to the river mouth to guard the empty boat, around the boat moon bright river cold. Late at night suddenly dream of young things, dream of crying makeup tears red railing dry. I heard the pipa sigh, and heard the words again. We're both people who have fallen from grace, why should we meet again? I left the capital last year and was demoted to Xunyang City. Xunyang is remote and has no music. I haven't heard the sound of silk and bamboo all year round. Living near the Qijiang River is low and wet, surrounded by yellow reeds and bitter bamboos. What do you hear in the meantime? cuckoos cry, blood apes wail. Spring river flowers face autumn moon night, often take wine also alone pour. Is there no folk song and village flute? It is difficult to listen to the sound of vomiting and laughing. Tonight I hear your lute music, as if listening to fairy music. Don't refuse to sit down and play a song for you. I'll play the Pipa Song for you. Moved by my words, he stood for a long time and sat down to play the strings.

Tang Xianzong Yuanhe ten years, I was demoted to Jiujiang County Sima. One day in the autumn of the second year, when he saw off the guests to Qipukou, he heard someone playing the lute on the boat at night. From the sound of it, it had a jingling sound that was popular in the capital. She was a singer from Chang 'an. She had once learned from the two pipa masters, Mu and Cao. Later, when she was old and her face aged, she married a merchant. So he ordered someone to set up a banquet and let her play a few songs happily. After the song was played, she had a sad expression on her face as she recounted the happy past of her youth. Now, she was drifting and sinking, looking haggard as she tossed and turned in Jianghu. I've been transferred from the capital for two years. I was moved by her words and only felt demoted this night. So he wrote a long poem and gave it to her. It was a total of 616 words, titled "Pipa Song." At night, I bid farewell to the guests at the head of Xunyang River. Maple leaves and reed flowers rustled in the autumn wind. My guests and I dismounted and set up a farewell banquet on the ship. We raised our glasses to drink, but there was no music to liven things up. The wine was not happy, but it was even more sad to part. When they parted, the vast river reflected the moon. Suddenly I heard the sound of a pipa from the water. I forgot to go back, and the guests didn't want to leave either. He followed the sound and asked quietly who was playing the pipa. The sound of the pipa stopped for a long time, but there was no movement. We moved the boat closer and invited her out to meet us. We asked the servants to refill the wine and return the lamps to set up the banquet again. After a long time, she slowly walked out with a pipa in her arms, covering her face. He tightened the guqin shaft and plucked the strings a few times. The form was very emotional even before the tune was formed. Xianxian's mournful voice contained a hint of contemplation, as if she was talking about the unhappiness in her life. She lowered her head and played continuously, using the zither to tell the endless past in her heart. He gently gathered them together, slowly twisted them, wiped them, and picked them up. First play "Nishang Feather Song" and then play "611." The big string's voice was heavy like a storm, while the small string's voice was light and urgent like someone's whisper. The noisy sounds of cutting and cutting intertwined with each other, like strings of big and small beads falling onto a jade plate. The sound of the pipa sometimes sounded like the gentle and smooth chirping of birds under the flowers, and sometimes it sounded like the low, muffled, and intermittent sound of water flowing under the ice. Like a cold spring, the sound of a pipa began to condense, and the condensed and obstructed sound gradually stopped. It was as if there was another kind of sorrow and hatred that was secretly growing. At this moment, the silence was more moving than sound. All of a sudden, it sounded like a silver bottle had been smashed into pieces, and water splashed everywhere. It also sounded like the clashing of swords and spears of armored cavalry. At the end of the song, she aimed at the center of the strings and strummed. The four strings roared as if they were tearing cloth. The pleasure boats and cruises in the east and west were quiet. Only the autumn moon reflected in the middle of the river was glowing with white light. She muttered to herself as she put away the plectrum and inserted it into the strings. She tidied her clothes and still showed a solemn face. She said that she was a famous singer in the capital, and her hometown was in the Toad Mausoleum in the southeast of Chang 'an. At the age of thirteen, he had already learned how to play the pipa, and his name was registered in the first section of the Jiaofang orchestra. Every time she finished playing, the masters of the art would sigh in admiration, and every time she put on makeup, she would be envied by her peers. The children of the capital's wealthy families scrambled to offer their gifts, and after playing a song, they received countless pieces of red silk. The silver comb with a mother-of-pearl head often broke and shattered when beating the beat, and the red silk dress was stained with wine without regret. Year after year, they spent their time in laughter and banter, and the beautiful times of autumn and spring were wasted. My brothers and sisters have died in the army, and my family has been ruined. There are fewer carriages and horses in front of the door, and the number of visitors is sparse. My youth is gone, and I have to marry a merchant. Merchants valued profits more than friendship and often left easily. Last month, he went to Fuliang to do tea business. He left me alone at the mouth of the river to guard the empty boat, the autumn moon and I accompanied the cold autumn water around the cabin. Deep in the night, I often dream of the fun and revelry of my youth. In my dreams, I wake up crying and tears stain my pink face. I have long shook my head and sighed when I heard the mournful sobs of the pipa, and hearing her tell me this makes me even more sad. We are both sad people who have fallen into the world. Why ask if we knew each other when we meet today? Ever since I left the bustling capital of Chang 'an last year, I was demoted to live by the Xunyang River and often fell ill. Xunyang was a desolate and remote place with no music, and the sound of orchestral instruments could not be heard all year round. Living in a low-lying and damp place like Qijiang, the house was surrounded by yellow reeds and bitter bamboos. What would they hear here sooner or later? It was filled with the mournful wails of the cuckoos and apes. Spring river flowers face autumn river moonlit night so beautiful scenery, also have no choice but often take wine to drink alone. Were there no folk songs and village flutes here? It was just that his voice was hoarse and rough, and it was really unpleasant to hear. Tonight I hear you play the lute and tell me your true feelings, just like hearing the music of immortals, my eyes light up and my ears are clear. Please don't refuse to sit down and play another song. I want to compose a new poem for you,"Song of the Pipa." Moved by my words, she stood there for a long time, then sat down and strummed the strings. The mournful voice was no longer the same as before. When the people present heard it again, they covered their faces and cried incessantly. Who had shed the most tears? I, the commander of Jiangzhou, wet my clothes with tears.

"Song of the Pipa" was divided into four sections, from "Xunyang River Head Night Seeing Off Guests" to "Still Holding Pipa Half Covering Face", a total of 14 sentences. The first section was about the appearance of the pipa girl. The first six sentences stated the time, that it was a night with red maple leaves, yellow reeds, and rustling autumn winds, and that the location was at the head of the Xunyang River.
Song of the Pipa was a long narrative poem written by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. In the poem, the poet was demoted to the post of Sima of Jiujiang Prefecture in the 10th year of Yuanhe. In the autumn of the following year, when he was seeing off guests at Qipukou, he heard someone playing the lute on the boat at night. After inquiring, I learned that the woman who played the lute was originally a prostitute in Chang 'an. After she grew old and her face declined, she married a merchant's wife. The poet listened to her playing the pipa, and the emotions in the song were sorrowful. It not only told the life experience of the pipa girl, but also expressed the poet's resentment of being relegated. The part of the poem describing the lute girl playing the lute was very wonderful, such as "The shaft plucked the strings three or two times, and the melody was emotional before it became a melody." The strings of the strings cover up the sound of thinking, as if complaining about the unhappiness of life ", and" The big strings are noisy like the rapid rain, and the small strings are cut like whispers." Through the vivid description of the pipa's sound, it showed the superb playing skills of the pipa girl. In addition, the phrase " We are both people who have fallen from grace, why should we know each other when we meet?" expressed the resonance between the poet and the pipa girl despite their different identities. Song of the Pipa was also created and interpreted in different forms by many artists in later generations. There were singers who sang songs based on it, and calligraphers who used it as their content to create calligraphy. "Luo Han's Lyric Collection" is equally exciting.

The music description in Song of the Pipa had many characteristics: 1. ** The plot is full of ups and downs **: The pipa music created by the poet is intense and full of ups and downs. From the beginning of the pipa girl's audition, where she plucked the strings three or two times on the rotating shaft, the melody was emotional before it was formed, it showed her superb skills. Then, during the performance, different sections presented different emotions and rhythms. The first section: The big strings are as noisy as the rapid rain, and the small strings are like whispers. In the second section, the orioles sing and the flowers are smooth, and the deep spring is difficult to flow under the ice. The icy spring is cold and astringent, and the strings are condensed and cut off. The sound of condensation is not heard for a while. The third section,"The silver bottle suddenly broke and water burst out, and the iron cavalry burst out with the sound of swords and spears," ushered in an intense and majestic climax. Finally,"The song ends and the heart is drawn, and the sound of the four strings is like a broken silk" stopped abruptly. The east boat and the west boat were silent, only the side of the river in the middle of the autumn moon white contrast, endless aftertaste. 2. ** Rich and diverse description techniques **: - ** Using sound to imitate sound **: Using "noisy" and "cutting" to simulate sound, and combining with "rapid rain","whispers","big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate" and other images, combining auditory and visual images, making the music description more vivid. For example, in descriptions such as "The oriole whispers at the bottom of the flower, and it is difficult to swallow the spring under the flowing ice", the visual image was used to strengthen the auditory image. 3. ** Musical elements are fully presented **: - ** Postures, Tune, and Emotions **:"Still holding the pipa to cover half of her face","Three or two plucking of the strings on the shaft, feeling before the tune is formed" wrote the posture of the pipa girl, the tune, and the emotional brewing before the performance. And "string string cover sound thought, seems to complain life frustrated. He continued to play the music with his hands and said the infinite things in his heart. Then he further wrote the emotions and mood of the music. - Movements, fingering, and song title: "Light and slow twirling, wiping and picking" accurately described the proficiency of the pipa girl's performance skills. Among them,"Long" and "Twist" were left hand movements,"Wipe" and "Picking" were right hand movements, and "Light" and "Slow" also wrote the beauty of the performance movements in the soothing section.
