Chapter 141 Four Famous Qins
An Siyao saw the changes in everyone's expressions, but she was not as nervous as before.

The male classmate's answer, instead of making her doubt her own answer, made her more sure that her answer was not wrong.

As expected, after hearing the male classmate's answer, Song Randeng didn't make a conclusion right away, but turned his attention back to An Siyao.

"Why do you think this piano is the Nine Heavens Ring?"

An Siyao thought about it for a moment, then looked up at the picture and began to analyze it: "Although this picture is not as clear as the real thing, it can be seen that this piano is made of phoenix trees and fir wood as the bottom, and the broken pattern on the body of the piano belongs to the belly of a snake. Broken grain, pure antler gray body can be seen faintly underneath, the surface of the piano is painted purple lacquer, and there are traces of repairs in many places, indicating that this piano is still in the world. wear."

An Siyao can see this from such a simple picture, not because of her profound background, but because when she lived with her grandfather, she followed her grandfather to see the piano with her own eyes. This piano is much more familiar.

An Siyao's logical analysis stunned those classmates who were sympathetic to her or wanted to see her jokes. They all looked at each other, wondering whether they should believe her or not.

Song Randeng's eyes also lit up, not because of An Siyao's long speech, but from this long speech, he could see that An Siyao really knew the piano.

What does Jiuxiaohuanpei look like, you can find it if you just search it online.

The real difficulty is how to combine those descriptions bit by bit with the body parts in the picture.

Song Randeng lost his interest immediately, and continued to probe: "Our class is about the four major guqins. Haven't you ever thought that this piano would be one of them?"

An Siyao was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "This piano cannot be one of the Four Great Famous Qins."

"How to say?"

"As we all know, the four famous zithers refer to the 'Bell Bell' of Duke Huan of Qi, the 'Raoliang' of King Zhuang of Chu, the 'Green Qi' of Sima Xiangru and the 'Jiaowei' of Cai Yong. These four qins have long been ancient. Most of the pictures of Guqin in later generations were restored according to the records in ancient books."

"The bell is the head of the four zithers. The reason for its name is because its sound is very loud, like the sound of a bell and a horn. It is destined that its body must have a large enough volume. "

"As for Raoliang, there is a record in "Tong Dian Le Si", "In Song Xiaowu Ming Dynasty, Wu Xing and Shen Huaiyuan were moved to Guangzhou to build Raoliang. Its utensils are similar to konghou. When Huaiyuan died, its utensils were also lost." From it We can see the key point, that is, the shape of the Liangliangqin is similar to that of the ancient harp, and later generations also compared the shape of the ancient harp when restoring this qin."

"Not to mention Luqi and Jiaowei, you can tell from their names. It is said that the whole body of Luqi is black, but it is faintly green, and it looks like green vines wrapped around ancient trees. It is so beautiful, so it is named The name Luqi was given."

"Jiao Wei's words are also recorded in the "Book of the Later Han·Cai Yong Biography", "There were people in Wu who burned tung to burn the fire. Yong heard the sound of fire. Knowing its good wood, he cut it into a qin because of his request. The fruit has a beautiful sound, and Its tail is still scorched, so it was called Jiaoweiqinyan by people at that time." The body of the Jiaoweiqin was originally cut from burnt wood, and there must be burn marks on the body."
