After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

Chapter 376

Last night I dreamed of a red building, tonight I hear the sound of a water dragon.

This verse comes from the 52nd chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, and is spoken by Xue Baoqin. This beautiful and intelligent girl recalled the memories of her visit to the Grand View Garden with many of the Jia family's golden hairpins while writing poems.

When she was eight years old, she was doing business in Southeast Asia with her father and met a girl from Zhenzhen Country who was only fifteen years old. She could speak Chinese and write ancient poems.

This five-character poem was written by a foreign beauty.

Although the story is fictional, it is based on reality.

As one of the four ancient civilizations on this planet, and the only country whose culture has not been interrupted and has been passed down, Chinese culture has had an impact on neighboring countries in all aspects.

Those who are invited to the scene have friendly exchanges here and have a deep understanding of Chinese classical culture.

Princess Siamese Princess Siwi, sitting in the front row, nodded slightly; to her right, Japanese composer Ayanokouji Takashi tapped his fingers lightly on his leg...

Whether Chinese or foreigners, everyone can understand the ideas conveyed in the melody of music.

Music has no borders.

The slow and low percussion music carries a solemn tone, symbolizing the Yongle Bell; the stretched and passionate violin concerto expresses the splendor of civilization.

The soul-stirring notes express the overwhelming spirit.

The splendor of a great country is fully displayed in the melody.

At one minute and thirty-five seconds, the notes rise and fall and the rhythm changes again.

The main melody remains unchanged, but the strings serving as harmony begin to fade away, and the alternation of instruments in different parts makes the melody become melancholy.

At two minutes and twenty seconds, the melody rises again, and the magnificent historical picture unfolds again.

Then comes another variation, and then the third main melody unfolds with the addition of vocals. With each change, there is a sense of vicissitudes of life as if one is witnessing the changes of dynasties.

From the solemnity at the beginning to the grandeur in the middle, the voice now becomes leisurely and sentimental.

"When I heard this, I suddenly remembered a saying: The Son of Heaven guards the country's gates, and the King dies for the country."

"The Ming dynasty's righteousness in gaining power is unprecedented in history."

"I am a commoner from Huaishi. What can the world do for me?"

"After visiting the Forbidden City, I listened to this piece again and felt a special emotion. Chinese civilization has only declined, but it has never been cut off."

……

In the live broadcast room, there are more comments expressing nostalgia for history.

There were also some people who knew music theory and started to explain it.

"I don't know if you can hear it, but the changes in this melody are Gong Shang Jiao Shang Gong Yu Gong."

"I didn't understand, please help me understand."

"In short, this piece is composed based on the traditional pentatonic scale. The court atmosphere you hear is not only due to the choice of instrumentation, but also because the scale fits the background."

"A century of prosperity and decline is all in a single song."

……

The music lasted for five minutes and then slowly faded out with the sound of the flute.

After a brief silence, the sound of the piano continued the music. Compared with "Memories of the Forbidden City", the style of the second part "The End of the Forbidden City" has become more sad.

The piano solo interprets the melody variation of the first section. The feeling of powerlessness as if the building is about to collapse and the wind and rain makes people fall silent involuntarily.

The wheel of history rolls forward, and the rise and fall of dynasties cannot be reversed by human power.

The Ming Dynasty, which once attracted countless nations to pay tribute, was eventually submerged in the general trend of the world. The Ming Dynasty, which lasted 276 years and was the last unified dynasty established by the Han people in Chinese history, eventually disappeared in the long river of history.

Thinking of the vastness of the universe, I feel alone and shed tears.

The last part of the trilogy, "The Decline of the Forbidden City", transforms sentimentality into desolation.

Guided by the piano, Lu Qingfeng's violin solo took on all the burden of the performance.

All other instruments stopped, and the only sound in the entire music hall was the sad sound of the violin.
