There was a young man named Shi Wen in the state of Zheng. He has been particularly interested in all kinds of sounds in nature since he was a child, and likes to listen to all kinds of sounds quietly by himself. Listening to birds singing and insects singing, listening to the tinkling of springs, listening to the wind blowing through bamboo forests and listening to the rain hitting the window lattice fascinates me every time.
When I grew up, my interest in sound became a fanatical love for music. The most famous pianist in ancient times was the string shaft. It is said that his skill is amazing. Whenever he plays the piano, the birds dance with him and the fish jump with him. When Shi Wen heard the legendary story of Bazin, Bazin became his idol, and he immediately set his goal in life, that is to become a great pianist like Bazin.
Zubar has become a legend, and the most famous pianist at that time was Shi Xiang. I want to learn to play the piano from his teacher. However, in Lu, there is still a long way to go from Zheng's residence. Shi Wen told his parents what he thought, but their parents strongly disagreed, thinking that it was nothing to do, and Qianshan was full of water, so parents didn't trust to run so far.
But he was determined to learn the piano, so he secretly packed his bags, ran away from home and went east to find Lu. Lu's musicians are knowledgeable and versatile. He is best at playing the blue and the piano. Many people come here to learn music from him, including many famous scholars, the most famous of which is Confucius.
Confucius learned to play the piano from Shi Xiang. He taught Confucius a tune. After Confucius went home to practice for a while, Shi Xiang listened to the music he played and said to Confucius, "You can learn some new music." Confucius said, "Although I can play, I can't master the skills."
Confucius practiced for a while and played it to Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang said to Confucius, "It seems that you have mastered the skills and can learn something new." Confucius said, "Although I have mastered the techniques, I have not yet mastered the artistic conception."
Confucius practiced for a while and played it to Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang said to Confucius: "It seems that you have understood the artistic conception of this song, and you can learn something new." Confucius said: "although I understand the artistic conception of this song, I still don't understand what kind of person the author is."
Confucius practiced for a while and played it to Shi Xiang. After playing a song, Confucius stood up, looked solemn, looked into the distance and said thoughtfully to Shi Xiang, "I already know what kind of person the author is. He is tall, dark-skinned, full of eyes and looks around like a king who rules all directions. Who else can this person be except Zhou Wenwang! " . Hearing this, Shi Xiang admired it very much. He quickly got up and kowtowed, saying, "You are really something. The name of this piece of music is Cao. "
Confucius pursued perfection even when he played the piano, and naturally he could become a generation of saints.
Then let's talk about Zheng. He's here to be a teacher with learning. Through his sincere heart, he finally moved Shi Xiang and promised to accept him as an apprentice. Shi Wen learned to play the piano with other disciples, recited piano scores and practiced skills together. After each practice, Shi Wen likes to think quietly and experience the artistic conception of songs, hoping to achieve the unity of man and piano and express his ambition with piano.
Time flies, I have been learning piano for three years. Shi Xiang called everyone together and asked them to play a song to test their learning achievements in the past three years. The other disciples plucked the strings, chose the songs they were good at, played in cadence and leisurely, and won everyone's admiration. When it was Shi Wen's turn, he was a little nervous and preoccupied. It took him a long time to adjust his tone, and a piece of music was intermittent and incomplete, which caused everyone to boo. After hearing this, Shi Xiang flew into a rage and said to Shi Wen, "Go home, you are not cut out to learn piano at all."
Shi Wen was very anxious after hearing this. He quickly stood up, pulling Shi Xiang to explain: "It's not that I can't tune, nor can I play a piece of music completely. It's just that now my mind is not on the strings, and what I want to express is not the sound. My mind can't blend with the piano, and I dare not pluck the strings easily with my fingers. Please give me some more time and see my performance then. "
Although Shi Xiang was angry, he trusted Shi Wen and promised to give him another chance.
Soon, Shi Wen took the initiative to find Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang asked, "How are you playing the piano?"
Shi Wen said, "It's all right now. I play it for the teacher. " Shi Xiang called his other disciples together to listen to Shi Wen's performance and make a judgment.
It was spring at that time. Shi Wen first dialed Shang's string and played a new melody. Suddenly, people feel that the cool breeze is blowing gently, the autumn is crisp, the fruits are covered with branches, the ears of rice in the field fluctuate with the wind, and the yellow leaves fall with the wind.
When everyone felt that autumn was coming, Shi Wen sounded the horn and played the rhythm of the bell. People suddenly felt a warm wind blowing, trees began to sprout, grass began to turn green, and schools flourished.
At this moment, Shi Wen plucked the feather string again and played the melody of the yellow bell. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, frost and snow floated down, the ground was white, and rivers and lakes were covered with thick ice.
At this time, Shi Wen plucked the strings again and played the melody of Yan Bin. Suddenly, he felt the sun burning and the ice in the river melted instantly.
Finally, Shi Wen plucked the Gong string and led the plucking of the other four strings. Suddenly, the breeze blew, colorful clouds floated, dew fell from the sky, and Li Quanshui began to gush out, which was a peaceful scene.
The other disciples listened with rapt attention, and only after playing a song did they wake up like a dream. Shi Xiang jumped up excitedly and said from the bottom of his heart, "You play really well. Even Shi Kuang's horn cleaning and Zou Yan's blowing are not much better than yours. From now on, we will all learn to play the piano from you. "
Shi Wen's perfect performance is earth-shattering, which makes people cry and feel immersive. Later, Shi Wen also became a famous pianist.
Why can he have such an extraordinary performance? Perhaps the fundamental reason is that "what comes from the heart is from the outside", which is what we usually call handy. When he "should not be in the heart, but should not be outside", he "dare not act rashly"
When we do anything, we must first learn the relevant basic knowledge and skills. After laying a good foundation, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly and concentrate on it, so that you can do it with ease, such as flowing water, in one go.
