Lan Ruochan

Chapter 286
A thousand-year-old yoyo guest, the accent of the Central Plains dream.

Where Haidong is fluttering its wings, the snow is cold and lonely.

The water surface of Anchegushui has just begun to freeze, as if covered with a layer of tulle, interpreting the hazy beauty just right.

There was a burst of melodious singing from the riverside. This song "Wu Ye Cry" is a new song from the Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties.

The performer was a middle-aged Confucian shirt-holder, who played complex changes like Yuefu harmony with only a single solitary bamboo pipe.

The libretto was a child, only eight or nine years old.

"Father, Zhongyuan, is it far from here?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar put down the solitary bamboo tube and stroked the back of the boy's head,

"Well, it's not too far away.

Partridges fly continuously day and night, and can cross Yanshan Mountain in one day.

Our predecessors swore,

The Yellow Dragon will not fall, the Black Dragon will not rise, and the Yue family vows not to enter the Central Plains.

Jingfei, do you remember? "

The boy nodded,

"Father, the child remembers.

The Yellow Dragon will not fall, the Black Dragon will not rise, and the Yue family will not enter the Central Plains! "

A sound of hoofbeats interrupted the conversation between father and son, and a horse rode over the dust.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar glanced back at An Che Gushui behind him, picked up a stone and threw it into the mirror-like ice.

Crashing, the thin ice was carried across a piece, and the river surged backwards.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar sighed,
"Hey, between the white mountain and the black water, I'm afraid it will never be so peaceful again."

The knight rolled off the saddle and knelt on the ground,
While panting, while reporting,

"Meet the patriarch, the young patriarch.

Today, two batches of guests came to Huanglong Mansion, what arrangements will the patriarch make? "

"Oh?"

Yue Dongpeng, the head of the Huanglongyue clan, carried the solitary bamboo tube behind his back, and twisted his beard with his right hand.
"Two groups of people? Where are they sacred?"

"The first batch of envoys from Goryeo, led by Crown Prince Gao Xing'an, came to discuss with us the demarcation of borders and peace negotiations.

Another group... claiming to be envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty,

The people from the Wuji Zong family and the orange flash from Muye Mountain also went with them, and their purpose is unknown. "

Yue Dongpeng pondered for a moment, raised his hand and ordered,
"Put their quarters together and wait and see.

You tell them I'm inspecting the ice road and I won't be back until tomorrow's dinner. "

"Yes!"

The rider gave another salute, got on his horse and whipped away.

Yue Dongpeng turned his head and smiled at his son,
"Jing Fei, I'm afraid I don't have time to play anymore.

We are going back. "

Huanglong Mansion, Wanyan Yaju,

A staff member of the Yue Mansion is guiding Qingyun and his party to move in.

Wanyan Yaju is an industry used by Huanglong Mansion to receive distinguished guests.
The entire Fucheng is run by the Yue family, and this Yaju is no exception.

Walking into the front yard of Yaju, the first thing that catches the eye is a building that is half a shrine and half a hall.

The door of the temple was ajar, revealing a golden lacquered statue of Lei Gong enshrined in it.

Looking from the direction of the courtyard gate, the tallest building in the city, the Yellow Dragon Pagoda used to suppress the waist of the black dragon, was just used as the background to protrude from the back of the temple.

Qingyun wondered,

"Is Lei Gong enshrined here?

It is rare to see the layout of Lei Gong enshrined in the main hall in the Central Plains. "

The Yuefu staff member smiled and said,
"The honored guest does not know,

This statue is not Lei Gong, but the seat of Zhe Ying's ancestor god.

We live in these tribes in Baishan Heishui, respected by the Yue family.

The Yue family regards the partridge as a totem, so all tribes regard the ancestor of the partridge as the main god, Shaman,

The god's name, Wang Gujie, originally means Jinxian in the ancient Xia language.

Later, a patriarch of the Yue family thought that the name was not Confucian enough, so he re-translated the name.
Writing Wanyan, whichever means perfect look.

This Wanyan elegant residence is also named after it.

The villain is originally a native of Hushui'an Chegu,
After following Yue Shuai, he also learned to give himself a Huafeng name.

Because I manage Wanyan Yaju here, I take Wanyan as my surname and name Pengyi.

Teach you distinguished guests to laugh. "

Qing Yun replied with a smile,
"Brother Wanyan, what are you talking about, this name is very domineering.

With the aura of the Golden Immortal, the future descendants will be unspeakably precious. "

Qing Shaoxia, who is around the pillar in Nine Dragons, still doesn't know what kind of chain reaction he will trigger with a random compliment.

It's just that in the future, the white mountain will tremble and the black water will flood,
The Yellow Dragon Pagoda fell, the Black Dragon turned over, and the Yue family moved to the Central Plains in response to the prophecy.
Then when the Wanyan family went south, competing among the rivers and rivers,

I don't know how many hero stories and legends of heroes have been drawn out.

This is something to say later, please don't press it.

Wanyan Pengyi said a few polite words, and then led everyone to Xikuayuan.

This Wanyan elegant residence faces south from the north. It is a typical courtyard layout in the Central Plains, with the east span as the most respected and the west span as the second.

Qingyun didn't think he was disobedient, but Li Daoyuan and Lord Li Hou felt a little bit unhappy in his heart.

He was born in a noble family, and he paid the most attention to etiquette and dignity.

If this Huanglong Mansion is a cave of barbarians, so it's fine.

But since they entered the city, what they saw and heard, could it be the rules of the Central Plains, which shows that this is a place of enlightenment.

If the other party intends to neglect, then you have to talk about it.

Lord Li Hou is a straightforward person,

He took two steps forward and just squeezed in front of Wanyan Pengyi, slowing down the speed of the team.
"Brother Wanyan, are there any other guests living in this elegant residence?"

Wanyan Pengyi's complexion changed slightly, and he scratched his head in embarrassment,

"Here, Lord Hou, do you mean Dongkuayuan?
At this time, there were indeed guests who checked in first. "

"Oh." Li Daoyuan nodded, expressing his understanding.

Although guests have their own dignity, since the other party has taken the lead, there is no reason for them to move their positions casually.

But what Brother Wanyan said next shocked everyone present!
"His Royal Highness Gao Lian, the Crown Prince of Koryo, and his retinue live there now."

Zong Pofei and Yile Celebrity's expressions changed most obviously.

Grandmother Fei came to Huanglong Mansion with Qingyun, of course it was due to the covenant with the gentlemen of the Liang Kingdom.

He accepted the protection of the mission and returned to Yanbei, he should also reciprocate and accompany the guide well.

But in fact, he still has another important purpose in his heart, which is similar to that of Yile Celebrity.

Over the years, the Koryo Ministry has developed too fast and expanded rapidly around.

The tribes around Anchegushui were either defeated or surrendered.

Fu Yu destroyed the country.

Its northern control reaches directly to Huanglong Mansion,
Crossing the Han River in the south, squeezing the Baekje Koreas,
East to Baishan, west to Liaoshui.

From the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Goryeo could only stand on the mountain and live together with the prefectures and counties entrusted by the Central Plains.
Now it has developed into a hundred cities, and one corner dominates.
It has become a common threat to the Baishan and Heishui tribes.

Siyue was originally the leader of the alliance here for generations, seeing that a new overlord had been born, he stretched his minions to the side of the couch,

Shouldn't Yue Shuai take advantage of the situation to climb high and call on all the tribes of Baishan and Heishui to unite and defend against powerful enemies?

Why, at this time, he invited the other party's prince as a guest,

Is Yue Shuai going to surrender?

If Yue Shuai really surrendered to Korea,
The white mountains and black waters are tantamount to a complete change of the sky, facing a reshuffle.

At that time, the most affected ones must be medium-sized tribes like Wuji and Konoha Babu.

or fight to the death,

Or accept resettlement, be dismantled into several small tribes, unable to stand up again.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

The author probably explained in the previous article that many people think that the former Koryo area of ​​Wang's Koryo was called Koguryo, which is not the same concept as Koryo. This is wrong.The etymology of Goguryeo and Goryeo is exactly the same. The so-called ancient Goguryeo in Wei Shu is called Goryeo, and there is nothing to argue about.

In this section, we further dig into the relationship between the various ethnic groups in the Northeast, leading to the Wanyan tribe.At this time, Wanyan has not yet become a powerful force in the Northeast, is it a bit abrupt?Yes, so now I can only be a small follower.

The author mentioned earlier that Huanglong Mansion (Fuyu Mansion) Linan Chegushui (now Ash River), and the tribes around Anchegushui are Anchegubu.The division of the Baishan and Heishui tribes in the Han Dynasty was actually based on geographical location.The Wanyan family originated from the bank of Hushui, a tributary of the Anchegu River, so it is said that it came out of Anchegu, which is mainly an interpretation of geographical orientation.

Wanyan means golden, so later Wanyan's regime was named Jin.In addition, the etymology of Wanyan really comes from Haidong Qingshen, who is said to be the title of the first female shaman in the world.Wanyan comes from Jurchen, and Jurchen is both solemn and cautious, so the transliteration is different.In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was called Wuji, so the Peng descendants of Wanyan in this work should belong to the same large ethnic group as Zong Pofei.However, the Jurchen tribes lived scattered. Those who depended on the mountains were called the Baibu, those who relied on the water were called the Blackbu, and they were divided into the east and the west. In fact, they were composed of several tribes, large and small, and it was impossible for them all to know each other.

The relationship between the Wanyan family and the Yue family in this work is not groundless. We have explained the origin of the Yue family and the theory of the raptor totem before.This stalk is an important foreshadowing for the future series of novels.

At the beginning of the next section of this chapter, Yue Dongpeng and Yue Jingfei sang and played "Wu Ye Cry" together.

"Tong Dian · Le Wu" Wu Yecry was written by Wang Yiqing of Linchuan in Song Dynasty.In the 17th year of Yuanjia, Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, moved to Zhangjun. During Yiqing, he was Jiangzhou. When he arrived in the town, he met and cried.Yiqing was terrified, and the concubine heard the cry of the dark night, knocked on the house and said, "Tomorrow there should be a pardon." In his year, he was even the governor of Yanzhou, so he wrote this song.Therefore, he said: "The cage can't be opened when you are scared, and the night is crying, and the night is coming." The song that is passed on today seems not to be the original purpose of Yiqing. , Famous and unknown."

So "Wu Ye Cry" is a new song in the Southern Dynasties.Before the Song Dynasty, there were very few long and short sentences in the lyrics.Therefore, although there are tune cards, what is filled out is still in the form of quatrains.In the Southern Dynasties and Song Dynasties, the rhythm of poetry had not yet been formed, but we can see that the lyrics of the first song of Wu Yezi can be evenly matched except for the last sentence, which is very close to the metrical poems of the late Tang Dynasty.Why is this?This is what we said before, the combination of music and sound was actually developed earlier than the rhythm.The fundamental principle of rhythm is the combination of music and words, and the ability to sing the words clearly without changing the tone.

Writing lyrics according to the music is not a patent of the Song Dynasty.This game has existed since Yuefu.Guo Maoqian's "Yuefu Poems" contains 55 poems in total.Then after the Song Dynasty, there was another Ci Pai "Wu Ye Cry".In this article, Yue Jingfei's lyrics in sentences [-], [-], [-], and [-] are based on the Ci Pai system of the Song Dynasty.Why is that?In fact, this is not because the song has changed much, but because the lyrics were filled with more tricks at that time. Because the rhythm of the original song was too slow, some people broke it up, that is, broke a long sound and sang two words.

When I have time, the author will also write a book of Cihua works, summarizing the rules of the rhythm changes of these Cipai, so as to fundamentally give some reference opinions for the flexible use of lyrics.It may be written in more detail at that time.

Many people think that it is not easy to write Ci Pai, because you have to check the meter first, and you can't recite it anyway.That's not the case at all.The sentence structure of Cipai is basically similar to the horseshoe structure of poetry. They are all based on two characters. ).After mastering these general directions, with a little analysis, you can find out the basic laws of the original song, and there is no need to memorize it by rote.The rhythm is never dead, the rhythm of the language and the fit with the original song are the foundation of the rhythm.

The original song of "Wu Ye Cry" belongs to Qing Shang Yue, also known as Qing Yue. The main instruments played at that time were clarinet and qin.Clarinet, later known as Xiao, its predecessor is Guzhuguan.Is there any relationship between the Guzhu Guan and the Guzhu Kingdom in the northeast region of the early Zhou Dynasty, which is the home country of Boyi Shuqi?There is no direct evidence for this, but "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Zhu" says: The rhymes of empty mulberry and lonely bamboo are enough to worship the gods.Kongsang is a place name, and Lone Bamboo is also a place name. Lone Bamboo was indeed one of the cradles of ancient music.

Therefore, in this work, Yue Dongpeng, a musician outside the customs, plays with a solitary bamboo pipe, which coincides with geography.
