Chapter 268 [Awakening] and [Inheritance]! (Please subscribe ~ monthly pass!)
The third chapter can be said to be the core and turning point of the thought.

It can be said that it is the most popular and unique expression of Dunhuang culture in the whole work.

The protagonist of the story described is Miao Shan.

"A Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes"! !

Avalokitesvara.

As Li Shaojie raised his baton again.

On the empty stage background, murals emerged.

Rao, who has never understood Dunhuang culture or seen this painting, can completely tell the name of the mural.

So unique, so iconic! !
Dunhuang Flying Apsaras Rebounding Pipa! !
This weird posture, on the contrary, is full of a mysterious and alternative beauty.

This is the main purpose of rebounding pipa!

Break through the routine, break through the limited thinking, and look at things from the negative side.

The rebounding pipa was originally a dance.

suddenly!

Li Shaojie waved his baton, and gently, under the sound of the pipa and the harp, the strings of the entire orchestra suddenly played a very strange, even harsh slide note under a strong beat! !
This time, the audience couldn't help but be shocked!
But with this portamento!

On the stage covered with golden lights, a beautiful dancer appeared.

Tian Yun, a dancer of the national team, wears a wreath, accessories around her neck, and her dance belt rolls out!
Holding a pipa in his hand, he ran a few steps and flew up gently!

The invisible line of coercion moves.

And Tian Yun lowered her eyebrows and eyes gracefully in mid-air, holding a pipa in her hand, and doing dance movements soothingly.

soon! !
Under Li Shaojie's command, the scales of the harp and the more piercing sliding sounds of the strings sounded! !
Music seems to be speaking.

In describing the movement of this flying.

Swish!Swish! !

Another two dancers lightly stepped on their bare feet, flew up gently around Tian Yun who had already risen, and slowly lifted into the air around Tian Yun in the middle.

Then it flew past left and right.

Movements with the characteristics of dances of ethnic minorities in the Western Regions, dressed in extremely restored Dunhuang mural costumes.

Combined with Li Shaojie's spooky, somewhat strange harsh tone, it made the audience feel extremely mysterious.

This kind of syllable sounds a little frightening, and the subconscious can't help being a little scared.

Elder Lu's eyes lit up.

I really didn't expect that Li Shaojie would actually play this one! !

Yes, the portamento performed by this strange fricative sound effect is actually not too narrow.

It is mostly used in some soundtracks, depicting scenes of sudden changes in tension, rather than creating effects in thrillers.

But that comes with a thriller or something more intense.

Not so with Li Shaojie.

In the process of interpreting the Dunhuang Fairy Flying to the Sky, the effect created by using such a scene is refreshing!
This kind of slightly "scared" feeling is matched with this beautiful picture full of unique charm of fairies flying into the sky.

At this time, this kind of "surprise" and nervousness became "awe" subconsciously! !

Old Lu didn't know exactly what Li Shaojie was thinking, and would use this weird combination.

But I have to say that this sudden texture really makes people feel the kind of awe that the ancients felt when they saw the goddess flying into the sky from the feeling of "shock". !

In the past, people watched operas, although they also talked about "sense of substitution", but the actual sense of substitution was only a small part.

After all, from the perspective of music processing, it will be more inclined to "tell a story".

And Li Shaojie's handling method, which seems to be the same on the outside, is actually ingenious inside.

Rather than a musical performance, it is more like a No.1 "soundtrack" of perspective.

It is full of musical psychological hints of various first-person perspective experiences.

To increase the sense of substitution, take each audience as the main body of the story, and use music to directly affect the audience's emotions and degree of substitution!

It's like turning an art performance into a VR story!
Wonderful thoughts flashed by.

In fact, this feeling did not last long.

Three dancers.
The three dancers have landed quietly, attracting the attention of the audience.

As the music gradually slowed down, it landed gently.

The lights start to change.

One dark, one bright.

The props were in place very, very quickly.

The stage that reappeared in front of people seemed to have turned into a magnificent ancient palace.

A gorgeously dressed king is sitting on the throne.

The harp is struck.

In front of them were the three goddesses who had just flown into the sky.

Compared with the more solemn posture and slightly indifferent divinity just now, the expressions of the three dancers now look more like a lively girl.

The king is enjoying the performance of his three daughters.

Miaoyin, Miaoshan, Miaoqing.

The music became soft and beautiful.

Surrounded by Western orchestral music, the sound of pipa played lightly.

Tian Yun holds a pipa in her hand and dances softly but vigorously.

Embrace vertically and swing arms horizontally.

Along with the music, he suddenly raised his head and played obliquely, and leaned over to play backwards.

Until the final back bounce.

The slender catkins slid across the strings.

With the surge of notes, make the movement of plucking the pipa.

With a smile, it seems that the Dunhuang murals are dancing, and the flying goddess is living in the real space.

Exquisite!

The murals of bouncing pipas of various colors against the backdrop of the background are constantly floating and changing.

Scene after scene, it seemed to come alive.

The foreign guest musicians in the audience opened their eyes wide.

Watch hard.

The Western orchestral music that I am familiar with now feels a little strange.

This is a completely different texture, with a strong oriental flavor.

However, domestic musicians and media representatives felt a very strong western temperament from it.

different from the West.

It is the style of the Western Regions that belongs exclusively to China.

The combination of harp and pipa can be so tacit.

This is "A Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes: Flying Apsaras"! !

And the English translation of this movement is Apsaras! !
Combining Chinese and Western, but using Eastern voices with Western expressions.

Resounds all over the world.

Apsaras, that is, Apsaras.

She is the water elf in Indian mythology, the wife of the god of music, Gandharva, and is good at dancing.

In Buddhist murals, especially in Dunhuang murals, the extremely common and classic "Flying Apsaras" was created based on this.

According to legend, Apsaras would often appear in front of the ascetics and test the cadres with a voluptuous posture.

This work, at least in these details, is very thoughtful and ingenious.

Can withstand repeated scrutiny!

The dance is over.

The music falls.

The story continues to be told.

This is the story of Miaoshan, the king's daughter, and the story of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva before enlightenment.

When seeing people in need of help, Miao Shan firmly donated his hands and eyes.

Even though the old king's father was so reluctant, Miao Shan still said.

"Even if I lose my hands and eyes, I still have a bodhisattva heart."

"I want to dedicate my heart and my life to those in need."

As a result, he lost his hands and eyes, but was moved by the wonderful kindness of heaven and earth.

He grew thousands of hands and eyes, and attained the status of Bodhisattva.

The theme is also on the horizon.

It is based on a heart of compassion for the world.
【Dedication】! !

It is different from the "Holy Mother" and "female Bodhisattva" that everyone talks about in ordinary times.

There should be compassion, and there should be compassion.

No matter what the reality of the world is, there should be such radiance of humanity.

But first of all, a real bodhisattva will not force others or blame others.

These preceding teachers, the enlightened ones.

It starts with oneself and dedicates itself.

Do not ask for anything, but seek to practice your own compassionate heart.

Yes.

The dedication Li Shaojie talks about is not moral kidnapping.

Instead, obey the goodness in your heart, and then put it into practice with your own sincerity.

Do it, not talk, let alone blame others.

Miao Shan's greatness does not lie in her greatness.

Rather, it lies in her dedication based on self-kindness at the beginning.

Lost both hands and eyes, only to gain thousands of hands and eyes.

As the story ends, the choir dressed as the people sang.

"Your thousand hands caress the wounds of all beings."

"Your thousand eyes watch the pain and death of all beings."

In Li Shaojie's expression, Buddhism seems to have begun to return to its original purpose and appearance.

Advise people to be kind.

Encourage people to take the initiative to do good and help others.

Those who receive help pick up the baton and spread the good.

It is very utopian and idealistic.

But if there is no ideal of goodness, the light of human nature will only be covered with dust.

After the story was told, the image of "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva" was completely different in everyone's mind.

Li Shaojie is using religious stories to praise every giver and every leader.

During the short interval in the midfield, many people lost their minds slightly.

At this time, many musicians have already given the same evaluation to Li Shaojie's works in their hearts.

[This is using music to express thoughts, this is using thoughts to praise those who sacrifice themselves for others in reality! ! 】

Looking back at reality, it seems that we can always see people who dedicate their "hands and eyes" to all living beings.

The CCTV reporter was a little dazed.

I always feel that I am full of countless complicated emotions about this chapter.

On weekdays, this reporter also reported such deeds.

They may be just ordinary people.

But once the critical moment comes, their spirit of selfless dedication and the wonderful brilliance of humanity that bloom can always infect countless people.

Perhaps it is a doctor in front of a serious disease, or a policeman in front of a criminal.

Or soldiers in the face of crisis, and even looking at history, when the nation is in crisis, it is not just one or two who stand up and save all sentient beings.

But a group of Bodhisattvas.

The reporter sighed.

In the interview before the performance, the reporter did not understand the meaning of Li Shaojie's words.

But now I understand.

[Actually, what you see is that I am singing praises to Buddha and Bodhisattva. 】

[But in fact, sentient beings are unenlightened Buddhas, and Buddhas are enlightened sentient beings. 】

With emotion, the music continued.

The stories in the murals also unfolded.

There is the classic discussion on the Bodhi Tree and the Mirror Stand.

"Zen Garden".

On the cold Silk Road, he and the silk girl Chunna cuddled each other to keep warm, exchanged affection, and finally watched the empty string monk whose lover froze to death in his arms.

"Heart Sutra"!
Even just looking at the title of the song, one can still feel the desolate wind and sand that has blown through the millennium, even though the scene of the Silk Road still exists today.

Over the millennia, how many great exchanges have been born on the Silk Road, and how many nameless bones have been buried.

In "Eclipse", Silk Road is "An Invisible Road".

And that Yueseng Kongxian, who traveled to the Western Regions for decades, just so that the people in his hometown Dunhuang could hear the Heart Sutra and Sanskrit music, first met Chen Na, and chatted about the beautiful grottoes and murals in Dunhuang.

Feeling "Hometown is Far".

The night is cold, we have fun in bitterness, we cuddle up to each other.

But Qian Na eventually froze to death in Kong Xian's arms.

Met last time, goodbye in this life.

The afterlife is harder to overlap.

The empty string is broken, and the shadow is absolutely gone.
"Love is only for parting"!
At the end of the story, the "Heart Sutra" was sung in the soft singing.

That is the version translated by Master Xuanzang, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, in 649 AD.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, practice deep Prajna Paramita for a long time"

"Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form that neither arises nor perishes, neither dirty nor pure"

The hearts of the audience are very delicate.

Obviously a tragedy.

But it seems that while being moved by it, there is not much grief.

It was as if he had seen through the emptiness of the world of mortals.

As the ancient philosophers said, people are going to die as soon as they are born. The problem is how to make the small life as brilliant as possible on the way to death.

When people fall in love with each other, they are going to parting, whether it is trapped by emotions or limited life.

But the meaning expressed is also more obvious.

How to make love become exciting and meaningful! !
Li Shaojie did not give any answer, but let the audience feel it by singing "Heart Sutra".

Everyone may feel differently.

Since then, the depth of Li Shaojie's work has convinced everyone present.

Quite a few musicians have changed their views at the beginning.

Yes.

Li Shaojie is so young, too young, too young!
Granted, he was strong musically, very strong.

But at the level of philosophical thought, there may not be any elders who have experienced more depth.

But now, such worries and doubts have completely disappeared.

A great artist must also be a great philosopher.

A great philosopher, even if he does not know art, must be the best appreciator of art.

The music continues.

The story gradually came to an end.

This is the last movement of "Dunhuang Ode to Mercy".

"Nirvana"

Buddha finally appeared.

When he was about to enter Nirvana and gave the last lesson to his disciples, the Buddha chatted with his disciples about "The Great Thousand Things".

And "The Other Shore".

When the disciples asked "The Last Question".

The Buddha's answer also echoed a Buddhist gatha he said before.

"Buddhas are people from the past, and people are future Buddhas!!"

At this time, many people who had interviewed Li Shaojie, or watched Li Shaojie's interview, exclaimed in their hearts.

It's round!

Bet on it! !

The whole logic is closed! !

The final ending, on the ideological level, just returned to Li Shaojie's main idea! !
Buddha is not a god, but an enlightened person.

The last question was answered, and the disciples were greatly enlightened.

The Buddha also closed his eyes with a smile and entered the other shore.

It seems that the pioneers explored the way out, and after teaching the descendants, they happily entered the ethereal world! !

In expressing the purpose, two words emerged in many people's minds.

[Awakening] and [Inheritance]! !

　In "Heart Sutra", the singer who plays Qin Na is Tan Weiwei.

　　The only player who came from an entertainment draft and sang himself as a national team and an international singer.

　　This guy is no longer a star.
