However, this talented musician often went hungry. One day, he wandered through the streets of Vienna, late in the day, hungry, but not a penny in his wallet, how to solve the dinner? He could not think of a clue. He instinctively went into a restaurant and sat down, but how could he order dinner when he couldn't get a penny out? Maybe he would run into a friend or acquaintance who would come in and do him a favor? But looking around, he never saw a familiar face. While he was disappointed, a small poem in a newspaper on the dining table jumped into his eyes. The composer's instincts immediately turned his thoughts to the poem. He thought of it, and immediately put it to song and wrote it.
He showed the song to his boss. The owner recognized Schubert's meaning in his clothes and face, and traded him a serving of roast beef with potatoes for the song. Years later, the manuscript of the song was sent to Paris for auction, where it started at 40,000 francs!
This song is the "Lullaby" that appears in the "Famous Foreign Songs" section of this website. Since its inception, how many mothers around the world have sat by their cradles and hummed it? Its soothing, intimate, affectionate melody, gently urge babies to sleep, so that the child embraces the warmth of mother's love into the dreamland, dreaming angelic dreams. From the perspective of early childhood psychology, babies growing up in such an atmosphere are bound to grow healthier, smarter and cuter. So the value generated by this song should be priceless, more than 40,000 francs.
"This dove is for everyone!"
"The Dove," though born in the nineteenth century, is still sung as a folk song around the world. It was composed in Cuba by the Spanish folk composer Elatil. Because it is so well written, people in several countries vie to claim it as their own country's folk song and are honored to own it.
Some people in Cuba say that the song was born in our country and was written using the rhythms of Havana's folk dances as its base, so of course it is our folk song. Listen, the first line of the song clearly sings, "When I leave my lovely hometown of Havana ......" .
Because the author is a Spaniard, it is of course logical that the compatriots of Elatil would describe it as a folk song of their own country.
But many in Mexico were not convinced, saying that the song was written and premiered by our singers at the time of the birthday celebration of the Emperor's Empress in our royal court, and that it was we who made it popular, and that it was not we who deserved the credit?
Some people in Argentina are not conceding the point either, on the grounds that the song's tune, with its use of dotted notes and syncopation in many places, bears a strong resemblance to the tango music played on the outskirts of their capital city. Since the song's musical source material comes from Argentina, Argentina is, of course, its homeland.
There is some justification for the claims of people from each of these countries. Their motivation is also worthy of recognition, because they are not competing for money and land, but for the honor of having beautiful songs; with this "competition", it is easier for beautiful music to spread. However, I think it's better not to fight anymore (too much fighting will hurt your feelings!). The song has been popularized in many countries around the world. Since this song has become popular in countries all over the world, and everyone has contributed to spreading it, it would be better to say: "This pigeon is for everyone!"
One Dance of the Sword and Weapon Moves the Four Directions
Turning to the beginning of Volume 3 of The Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty, an ancient poem in seven lines by Du Fu stands out at the top of the page, titled Guarding the Line of the Disciples of Gongsun Danniang Dancing with the Sword and Weapon. The poem reads:
"In the past, there was a beautiful woman, Gongsun, who danced with a sword and moved the four directions. Viewers such as mountain color frustration, heaven and earth for a long time low. Tactile as Yi shoots nine suns down, as the group of emperor can dragon soaring. Come as the thunder collects the shock and fury, and leave as the river and the sea condenses the clear light. ......" (Note: can instead of a computer in this site can not enter the word, is the left side of the "horse" on the right side of the "Sen" of the combined characters. It means the horses that drove on both sides of the car in ancient times).
This is the first time I've seen the word "horse".
This is the poet's recollection of watching the outstanding dancer Gongsun Daniang dancing with a sword in the year when the scene of shocking the world and crying the ghosts and gods. It is to the effect that once upon a time a beautiful woman with the compound surname Gongsun startled the four quarters of the world when she danced the Sword Weapon Dance in the square. The audience was surrounded by a sea of people, and heaven and earth changed color with the ups and downs of her sword dance. She danced with the sword, suddenly the silver glitter, the sword flashes; she jumped up with an arrow, the tip of the sword piercing the sky, like Hou Yi shot down nine suns; she flew legged and tumbled, just like the emperor and the gods driving the coiled dragon Pegasus in the clouds; swiftly when the thunder and lightning, when the collection of the earth and the world is silent. When the dance is over and the sword is closed, the blade of the sword is like a calm river, lake and sea, condensing a clear light.
The Tang Dynasty's Gongsun Daniang and the Han Dynasty's Zhao Feiyan were both famous female dancers in ancient China. The former in the folk, the latter in the court, one like a dragon flying tiger leap, one like a light swallow flying, can be called the dance of the two jewels. Gongsun Danniang's military attire is also in stark contrast to the neon dance style of her contemporaries in the palace. It is said that Zhang Xu, the famous cursive writer in history, after watching Gongsun Daniang's dance at that time, realized the truth of calligraphy from it, and from then on, the wild cursive he wrote entered a higher realm. This incident became a beautiful story at that time and was widely spread.
"Fantasia" prompted crocodile tears
Germany is the hometown of Beethoven, the greatest musician in the history of music, giving birth to many musical masters, leaving many very precious cultural treasures to mankind. Unfortunately, during the Second World War there was a handful of murderous executioners led by Hitler, who committed numerous crimes that are still fresh in people's minds, and once they were mentioned, the German people and the world's people gnashed their teeth.
In this handful of executioners, there is one called Mellark, was the commander of the Auschwitz concentration camp. This man was vicious by nature, and had brutally murdered countless innocent prisoners. It is said that his main task in the Nazis was to study and experiment with killing prisoners with poison gas. For example, one method of killing was to force many female prisoners to strip naked, put them in a gas chamber, and then feed salt into the chamber through a catheter. The salt was then fed into the chamber through a catheter, and the gas was produced, perhaps as a result of a chemical reaction between the salt and some chemical substance in the chamber. After struggling in the gas, the women were all killed.
But the same crocodile that gassed the women allowed the Auschwitz Women's Symphony Orchestra to exist and often listened to them. He actually shed tears when the orchestra played German musician Schumann's Fantasia.
Why did the crocodile weep at the Fantasia? I'm afraid that a psychologist familiar with the historical facts of the time would be able to come up with a scientific conclusion. In the author's opinion, the most probable reason is that Mellark intentionally shed tears to show the prisoners that he is also a man of cultivation and feelings, in an attempt to cover up his coldness and savagery. This is a ploy to play on hypocrisy and guile. It is also possible that the power of the Fantasia caused him to temporarily regain his humanity (which is complex and not as simple as one or the other) in the moment of listening to the music, and that he did indeed shed tears because of his true feelings. But whatever the reason, it reflects that this is a masterpiece of extremely rich emotional content. Schumann's Fantasia was originally released in the form of a piano piece, and has since been arranged for solo cello, a cappella and orchestra. People never get tired of playing and listening to it, and it is a world-famous musical treasure.
Music doctors and music killers
Music therapy specialists on the disease under the "music", according to the patient's condition to choose a certain type of music to enjoy, for some physical and mental diseases can play a supporting role in the treatment of the news that can be read in the press from time to time. This shows that excellent music can also act as a life-saving doctor under certain circumstances. It is said that the philosopher Nietzsche once fell ill and listened to Bizet's opera "Carmen" by chance, and his illness was cured. He said in a letter to a friend: "I have been ill recently, but last night I listened to Bizet's Carmen, and I am thankful for this music." ("Famous foreign songs" in the "Carmen" clip) Many examples prove that: music not only has the role of pleasure, but also a certain therapeutic effect, music is sometimes a doctor.
So, is music a health hazard or even a killer? If a certain kind of music exceeds a certain intensity, especially if it is a noise, it is certainly harmful to health. The intensity of sound is expressed in decibels. Scientific conclusions: the intensity of 130 decibels, ear pain; up to 150 decibels, people can not stand; up to 190 decibels, even the rivets on the machine will be shocked down, not to mention the people? A country has made a study of people on the supersonic jet noise tolerance test, when the aircraft from the head of 10 - 12 meters in the air when flying over, to participate in the test none of the survivors. A few years ago, the newspaper introduced a piece of music in history has become a killer of the special case, more creepy.
In 1932, the French composer Lurans. Charles created a piece of music called "Black Sunday", it is said to have listened to this piece of music and the number of people who have died more than a hundred, it is an invisible killer, known as "the devil invites". The first person to be invited by the devil was a young Hungarian man who was drinking in a pub in Budapest. After listening to the orchestra play this piece of music, he could no longer control his feelings of extreme sadness, so he shot himself in the temple to relieve his pain. An American girl who borrowed a record of the piece out of curiosity also committed suicide in her own home because she couldn't bear the pain it caused, and in 1945, the West banned the performance of the piece and destroyed the record and sheet music, driving away the demon.
How can a hen understand music?
The world is full of surprises. In South Korea, a few years ago, a newspaper reported that a local villager's chickens were laying more eggs by listening to music.
In a village in Wolsan-ri, Hongseong-eup, Hongseong-gun, there was a chicken farmer named Jang Dong-won who, like many other families in the village, raised chickens for a living. One day, Jang's son read a newspaper article about a foreign country that increased the production of cows by making them listen to music and told Jang about it. Inspired by this, Zhang installed speakers in his chicken farm and played classical music to his chickens all day long. He initially held the mentality of trying to do this, but did not expect three months later actually achieved good results, the hen's egg laying rate increased from the highest 73% to 80%, and the eggs laid are bigger than before. As soon as the news spread, other people in the village followed his example, and music was played in every chicken house, and egg production increased.
Is the increase in eggs laid by the hens a direct result of the music, or is it due to other unknown factors derived from playing music? Do hens really understand music? I don't dare to say. But let the chicken coop around the music rhyme floating, so that chicken farmers in the busy, anxious labor to relax the nerves, as long as the expenditure is not too big, and why not do it?
A song of sadness saves one's life
There are many famous lines in our country's ancient poetry that have been passed down through the ages. Two of them are commonly used to describe those poems, songs or words with extremely sad and miserable feelings: "A sound of He Manzi, looking at the king's tears". It comes from a musical story in ancient China.
The Tang Dynasty, during the Kaiyuan period, there was a Cangzhou singer called He Manzi, outstanding color, for some reason, was sentenced to death by the government. The death sentence was carried out in Chang'an, the capital city. When she was about to be executed, the executioner asked her if she had any last request. The singer said she had no other request but to sing a song before she said goodbye to the world. The executioner thought, the prisoner was a weak woman, let her sing a song, it will not cause any accidents, so he agreed to let her. He Manzi, who was on the verge of death, at this time welled up with feelings not of fear of death, but of extreme grief and indignation. Singing like a spring gushing out of a rock gap, accusing the injustice of the world, pouring out their own grievances, breaking people's hearts, straight to heaven and earth darkness, the audience moved, some tears can not help but gargle down. After the song, just as the executioner raised the butcher's knife, in a few moments will be the human head on the occasion, suddenly came the urgent voice: "and slow down! The holy decree arrives!" . Originally, when the songstress of the narrative song of sorrow, the palace, there is a person to see He Manzi color art superb, think kill a pity, then horse whip to go to report the then emperor Li Longji. Li is our history of the most love song and dance of the emperor, very musical talent, composing, playing, choreography, all in the line, personally created a huge scale of the palace music and dance institutions - "Pear Garden", of course, can not afford to kill the He Manzi such a talent, and then immediately Sentenced to pardon her death. He Manzi did not expect a song of sadness, but saved his own life.
Soon, someone will He Manzi on the execution of the song to organize, named "He Manzi", since then "He Manzi" has become a synonym for sad song. The poet Bai Juyi wrote a poem saying: "It is rumored that Manzi is a person's name, and the song was formed when he was sentenced. A song of four words and eight lines, from the beginning is the sound of broken hearts." Zhang Hu, a poet of the same generation, also wrote a poem called "He Manzi": "Three thousand li in the old country, twenty years in the deep palace, a He Manzi, looking at the king's tears." Legend has it that after reading this poem, the singers in the greenhouses lamented that they and He Manzi were "the same people at the end of the world" and cried so much that they immediately turned it into a song that became very popular later on.
Light as a swallow, Zhao Feiyan
The Tang poem "Song of the Han Palace" sings, "Jade frost flows in front of the water-colored curtains, Zhao's Feiyan serves Zhaoyang, the dance in the palm of the hand finished the xiao sound extinct, the 36 palaces of the autumn night is long." The poem describes that on a bright moonlit autumn night, the cave xiao played a beautiful melody, and Zhao Feiyan, who served the emperor in Zhaoyang Palace, danced in the palm of her hand along with the music. People in later generations learned from this poem that in the history of our country, there was a woman named Zhao Feiyan, who could stand on the palm of another person to dance. It can be called a miracle of miracles.
Zhao Feiyan was a native of the Han Dynasty and came from a musical family. She and her sister were born as a twins, both of them were smart and beautiful. While her sister had a beautiful singing voice, she was an outstanding dancer. After the death of their father, the two sisters were forced to live on the streets of Chang'an, making a living by making straw sandals. By chance, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty discovered her and summoned both sisters to the palace. Soon after, the original empress was abrogated and Zhao Feiyan was appointed, and she became the pearl of the Emperor's heart and was exclusively favored in the Zhaoyang Palace.
Zhao Feiyan was a slender woman with an extremely lithe body, and her steps were like flying. Perhaps because of the rare figure, but also with hard work to get the extraordinary "inner work", legend has it that she can stand on the palm of the dance. Eunuch two hands together and stretched forward, palm up, Zhao Feiyan stood on its palm, in a very small area to make a variety of dance movements, raise the sleeves fluttering, just like a flying swallow. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty made a crystal plate for her, called two courtesans will plate on the support. Zhao Feiyan in the disk undulation in and out, the lower back light lift, rotating and flying, like a fairy in the sky in the wind and dance as beautiful and free.
"One day, the Lord of Heaven, one day," he said. After the death of Emperor Cheng of Han Dynasty, when the throne was passed to Emperor Ping of Han Dynasty, the court officials even criticized her for not giving birth to a descendant for the royal family, and relegated her to a commoner. A superb dancer, she was finally forced to commit suicide and left the earth tragically.
Farewell in the aftermath of music
"Auld Lang Syne" is a world-famous song that has been around for a long time. It is an old Scottish folk song, often sung at the time of parting. The locals have a tradition of holding hands and singing the song in a circle before parting, celebrating precious friendships and expressing feelings of farewell. Some schools in the old days of our country also imitated this tradition in the farewell ceremony of students' graduation. The students sang together at the end of the ceremony, waving goodbye to their alma mater in the lingering sound. Since it is often associated with parting, its title has been translated by some as "Song of the LIXI" and by others as "Can you forget your old friends? . Because it was used as the theme song of the famous American movie "Broken South Bridge", some people use the name of the movie as the title of the song.
Spirit off the South Bridge depicts the tragic love story of the British officer Clooney and the ballerina Mara. One of the episodes is very poetic: it was in the era of war, the young officer was about to say goodbye to his beloved to go to the front. In the evening, the two went to a hotel to tell each other their love, and a thousand words could not express their love. But the night is late, the hotel band had to play the last piece of music "long lasting friendship". The slow, deep melody, more hypnotized the lovers' parting feelings. The musicians blew out the candles on the music stand after each phrase they played and gently left their seats. Finally, only the lonely sound of the violin was left, and then the last candle on the music stand also faded, and the two had to say goodbye to each other in the beautiful and cold sound of the aftermath.
The love song became a "second national anthem"
My Sun was originally a love song written by an Italian composer, and because of its beauty, it became a household name in Italy and was so popular that people thought it was a folk song. After the First World War, the fascist leader Mussolini ascended to the throne, the implementation of the rule of iron blood, the Italian people suffered a lot, and the people of other countries also hate him.
One year, the World Olympic Games were held in Finland. According to the rules, each country's sports team must play the country's national anthem when entering the stadium. Orchestra from the Mussolini government's disgust, the embassy did not send the country's national anthem sheet music as an excuse, when the Italian athletes entered, deliberately not play the country's national anthem and play "my sun". When the high-pitched music sounded in the square, the people present were first surprised, and then couldn't help but follow the music and sing: "Ah, my sun, that's you! That's you!" The song expressed the hatred of Mussolini and the sympathy and support of the Italian people. Since then, this love song has been more widely circulated. It is natural to think of Italian songs when they are mentioned; and it is natural to think of Italy when its sound echoes in people's ears. My Sun became, in effect, the symbol and "second national anthem" of Italy.
Rats listening to the piano
Recently, a story about rats listening to the piano was posted on the piano section of Sohu>Music>Western Classical Music. With the permission of the moderator, the original text is reproduced below:
"In the basement of a unit in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, two girls were practicing piano. I don't know when, a little mouse climbed to the side of the piano bench and moved to 'listen to the piano'.
In this basement converted piano room, soothing and melodious music in the large room slowly undulating, the mouse lying in the piano next to the motionless, only the two small ears up, the eyes open wide, as if fascinated. Ms. Wang said they came here to practice at about 10:00 a.m. At that time, one of them was playing the piano and the other was reading a book. The lady who read the book said: 'At first the little mouse stood next to the conductor's desk, and then it listened and listened, and then strutted and paced next to the piano as if no one else was there to continue to listen to it, and more than an hour passed, and it still had no intention of leaving.' In the author to take pictures of the little mouse, Master Wang reached out his hand to touch it, the hand just touched, it jumped forward a little, but does not go far."
This is the real story. There's a similar old legend in music that's even more amazing than that:
In 1284, a German town called Hameln was plagued by a rat infestation that disturbed the local residents. Just when everyone was worried about this, a young man wearing a flower dress and holding a bamboo flute came to the town, claiming to have a way to eliminate the rat infestation. So the residents asked him to exterminate the rats.
The young man picked up his flute and played a strange tune. In a short while, the rats came to the sound of the flute. Seeing that the rats were mesmerized by the sound of his flute, the young man walked into a small river at the edge of the town and waded across to the other side while playing. The rats could not resist the lure of the flute, and jumped into the river in a group, and were drowned. The young man had easily eliminated a serious rat infestation with just the sound of his flute.
Yang Guifei and the "Mountain in the Void"
Yang Guifei was the favorite concubine of Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, and Li's "thousands of favorites" were all concentrated on her. One day, the peonies in the palace were in full bloom. One day, peonies were in full bloom in the palace. The emperor was so excited that he enjoyed the peonies by candlelight late at night, called Yang Guifei to drink with him, and asked Li Bai to write poems. Li Bai, who had "a hundred poems in a drinking game", was so drunk that he sang three of his poems on the spot, to the tune of "Qingpingtong", a major Tang dynasty song of the time. At the beginning of the An Shi Rebellion, the army was defeated and the generals blamed Yang Guifei for the disaster, who was forced to hang herself. Li Longji was grief-stricken by this. Legend has it that after her death, Yang Guifei resided on the island of Penglai, where she spent her miserable days in an illusory cave. Later, Bai Juyi wrote the love story of Yang and Li into the famous narrative poem "Song of Eternal Hatred". Almost everyone who has read the poem remembers the concluding lines: "The sky is long and the earth is long, but this hatred has no expiration date".
In 1932, Mr. Huang Zi, a famous modern musician in China, composed China's first oratorio, "The Song of Eternal Hatred," with the theme of "The Song of Eternal Hatred" (with lyrics by Wei Hanzhang). The eighth movement, entitled "Mountains in the Void", is particularly moving, and the musical theme used is the ancient tune "Qingping Tune". The melody is elegant and evocative, expressing the pathos of Yang and Li, one in the red world, the other in the blue sea, in love with each other in life and death, but unable to get together.
The sound of the song will be heard for three days
Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a Korean singer named Han E, who was famous all over the country. One year, Korea suddenly launched a storm, the flood broke the embankment, the huge waves rushed to the sky, the fields, houses are washed away, the people have to run for their lives. With the help of the townspeople, Han E survived the flood and ran away to Qi. On the way, she ran out of money and had to sell her songs to make a living. She sang all the way, and her voice was so beautiful and moving that it could be called the peak of perfection. She was gone, but everyone still felt that she was still beside them, and her voice still echoed between the beams of the roof, and did not dissipate for a long time. This is where the idiom of "the sound of her voice lingers around the beams for three days" originated.
When Han E arrived at the Yongmen of Qi, it was already dark, and hunger and fatigue were tormenting her, so she went to the inn and prepared to stay there. As soon as she stepped into the store, she was scolded and pushed out by the shopkeeper. At this time, Han E y felt the suffering of her folks and the humiliation she suffered, and turned the passion in her heart into one of the most sorrowful and miserable songs on earth. Songs to Yongmen in all directions, a time when the mountain wind stopped whistling, the river stopped flowing, walkers stop, sobbing heaven and earth. So that after Han E left, Yongmen men, women and children are still sinking into the sea of sadness, day can not eat, can not sleep at night, every day so. So the people chose a young man as their representative and urged their horses to catch up with Han E, pleading with her to return to Yongmen. On the way, the people greeted her with great hospitality. Feeling the affection of the people as if they were family, Han E turned her sorrow into joy and sang a song of joy, which immediately spread to thousands of households. So everyone's sadness dissipated and they sang and danced, turning Yongmen into a sea of joy.
Pregnancy and the Angel's Tidings
A song called "The Angel's Tidings" is a beautiful story of the following.
A kind and beautiful girl named Mary lived in the city of Nazareth in Galilee and was the fiancée of Joseph, a local carpenter. One day God sent a messenger to Mary saying, "By the grace of God you will soon conceive and bear a son." Mary did indeed conceive. Joseph, being of good heart, did not humiliate his fiancée when he learned that she had conceived without ever sharing a room with him, but secretly he was ready to repudiate her. When God realized this, he sent an angel to him in a dream, saying, "Bring your wife to me quickly, for she is carrying the Holy Spirit from heaven. She is carrying the Holy Spirit from heaven. You are to name the child Jesus. He will save the people from their sins." Joseph complied and immediately married Mary. Joseph was a Jew, and soon after he married her he took her out of Nazareth and prepared to live in the Jewish city of Bethlehem. When he arrived there, the inns were all full, and the couple had to stay in a stable for a while. At that very moment, Mary's labor was over, and a baby was born in the stable. ---- He was Jesus, the household name that people later called the Savior.
The mouse that broke the bellows gave birth to "Christmas Eve"
"Christmas Eve" is another hymn that has been around the world for a long time. It was born when a mouse chewed through the bellows of a pipe organ.
On the Austrian morning of Dec. 24, 1818, Gruber walked into the church in the small town of Oberntorf, sat down in the pew and prepared to practice the hymns he would be playing that night, Christmas Eve. But as soon as he stepped on the pedals, there was not a single note from the organ, only a creaking sound of leaking air blowing out. Upon closer inspection, he and the pastor discovered that the windchest had been chewed out by a dastardly mouse. Gruber was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: in a few hours, the holy night of Christmas would arrive, and it would be a disaster to have no music to accompany the mass! The priest Moore, however, was more calm, and took out a yellowed piece of paper from his coat pocket, saying, "Here is a little poem I have written; compose it at once, and teach it to the children, and there will be music to-night." Gruber took the poem and read it aloud over and over again, and the more he read it, the more he felt the flavor, and inspiration came to him, and he soon composed the song, and immediately taught it to the children in the caroling class
Christmas night came, and the sound of the bells echoed through the air of the town. By candlelight, the children sang "Christmas Eve," with Gruber strumming his guitar. The children's high, bright, innocent voices blended beautifully with Moore's soprano and Gruber's baritone.
The next spring, a repairman who had come to fix the bellows found the song so good that he took it back to his village in the valley. Those in the village who were good at music spread it to other places. The more it spread, the farther it went. The King of Austria, the Czar of Russia, Queen Victoria of England, Napoleon III of France, the German poet G?del and other famous people have heard the song. The song finally spread all over the world.
The soulmate
There is a musical story recorded in one of the most famous books in China, "Lie Zi". The original story is as follows:
Beoya was good at playing the zither, and Zhong Ziqi was good at listening. When Boya drummed the zither, his ambition was for the mountains, and Zhong Ziqi said, "Good, E'e Ruoxi is like Mount Tai!" Aspiration in the flowing water, Zhong Ziqi said: "good, ocean if the river!" What Boya thinks, Zhong Ziqi will get it.
Beoya traveled in the shade of Mount Tai, met with torrential rains, stopped under the rock, the heart of sadness, was aided by the qin and drums. In the beginning, he played the "Rain and Shower" piece, and then he played the "Avalanche Mountain" piece. Whenever the song was played, Zhong Ziqi was always at his wits' end. Bo Ya was to give up the piano and sighed: "Good, good, son of the listening husband! Zhi imagination is like my heart. I am not going to run away from it."
The general idea of the story is that Bo Ya was good at playing the zither, and Zhong Zi Qin was good at understanding and appreciating music. When Bo Ya played a piece of music that expressed a high mountain, Zhong Ziqin said, "How good it is, your heart and mind are like the lofty Mount Tai!" When Boya played a piece of music expressing flowing water, Zhong Ziqin said, "How good it is, your mind is like that rushing river!" No matter what Bo Ya played, Zhong Ziqi could hear the thoughts and feelings that his music held.
One day, Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi went to the south side of Mount Tai to visit the mountain, and suddenly ran into a storm, so they went to rest under the rock to avoid the rain. At this time, Bo Ya felt sad, took the qin and played. At first, he played a piece of music called "Lin Yu", but later, when he became more emotionally involved, he played a piece called "Bengshan". As soon as the music started to play, Zhong Ziqi immediately revealed the deep meaning of the piece. Bo Ya then let go of the qin and said: "You listen to the music is really clever ah, put my heart want to say all the words."
