All Hail Cousin Brother

Speaking of this, Zhou Linghuai smiled: "Later, I found a kind of spider silk by chance. This spider lives near a copper mine. The silk it spit out is as fine as a woman's hair, which is hard to see with the naked eye, slightly reddish-yellow and tough. Excellent, and not easy to break, twisted as a silk string, its sound is clear and round, and contains the sound of gold and jade, which is natural."

Just making silk strings is not easy.

More than 300 strands of spider silk of equal thickness are twisted into strings. The best silk strings should be uniform and natural, like a strand, and it is impossible to see that many strands are twisted into one strand.

After the string is formed, the silk string must be tough, smooth and moist.

Tough is not easy to break, and its sound is longer; slippery is easy to play, and its sound is purer; moist, it does not hurt the hand, and its sound is more round and clear.

Simple to say, harder to do.

Zhou Linghuai used silk to make strings before, and he was used to it. It was the first time for spider silk. It took more time to explore and twist it, which took half a year.

"This piano is really beautiful," Yu Youyao was amazed, her fingers gently stroked the strings, and the strings were as smooth as jade, blending into one: "Thank you, cousin!"

"Sit over and play a song and try if you like it." Zhou Linghuai bent his lips, sat aside, and gave Yu Youyao the position of playing the piano.

"Okay!" Yu Youyao couldn't wait, she sat down where her cousin had just sat, and put her hands on the strings.

Zhou Linghuai noticed that the little girl's hands were like jade and her fingers were slender, which complemented the slightly reddish-yellow strings of the piano.

Yu Youyao took a deep breath and suddenly said, "No, I haven't burned the incense and cleaned my hands."

Zhou Linghuai chuckled: "Try the sound of the piano, it's not too particular, and it's not a formal occasion, just feel free."

Yu Youyao hurriedly shook her head, and Zhou Linghuai was trembling again by a flower branch on her head, and her heart was disturbed. He heard the little girl solemnly say: "It's the first time to play the qin that my cousin made for me, how can I be casual?"

The little girl put on rose lip balm and sat side by side. She was accustomed to looking into his eyes every time she spoke, so she turned her head, and when they were close to each other, she could smell the fragrance of her mouth, which was fragrant. .

Zhou Linghuai's mouth was dry and he picked up the teacup.

Yu Youyao called Chang'an, set up an incense case, and burned Yindancao incense pills.

After that, Changan brought another plate of clear water.

Yu Youyao solemnly dipped her hands in the basin for a moment, took it out to dry, and sat in front of the piano table, her head stuck again: "What tune is good to play?"

Not only solemn, but also nervous, Zhou Linghuai smiled and said: "Just play a piece of "Qin Fu", the simplest piece, on the contrary, can best reflect the quality of the qin sound, so don't be too nervous, just try the qin sound, if you feel No, I'll debug it for you, and you'll always be satisfied."

Yu Youyao pouted.

When she came to the Qingyuan Academy just now, she clearly heard it. My cousin's piano sound has been adjusted very well. The songs played by my cousin are sincere, lingering and free and easy to listen to.

"Xingba, "Qin Fu" is "Qin Fu"."

She first learned "Qin Fu" from her cousin. At that time, she was not too interested in the art of Qin, but just wanted to take the opportunity to get along with her cousin more.

It was her cousin who took the trouble to teach her the **** skills of the piano, and she gradually became interested in the art of the piano, so she learned it by heart.

Everything in the past is vividly remembered, as if it were yesterday.

Yu Youyao thought of it. She was only ten years old, sitting in front of the piano desk and learning the piano awkwardly, but she couldn't learn it. She regretted that she promised her cousin to learn the piano.

My cousin didn't think she was stupid either, so he sat behind her, leaned forward, wrapped her arms around her, and helped her correct her **** over and over again.

Cousin has inconvenient legs and feet, and sits in a wheelchair. In such a posture, he always has to lean forward, which is actually very difficult.

Those who teach the piano work harder than those who learn the piano.

Sometimes when she was naughty, she deliberately played the wrong fingering. Seeing her cousin's helpless expression, she couldn't bear to scold her, and she laughed "giggling".

At that time, she knew that there was a person in this world, even if she was naughty and did something wrong, she would not scold her or teach her a lesson like her father.

It's called preference.

Since then, she has the confidence to be fearless and spoiled in front of her cousin.

The time with my cousin is always full of joy.

Yu Youyao even played the piano, and it was full of joy.

Zhou Linghuai supported her forehead, Yu Youyao was slender and delicate, jumping on the silk strings, the spider silk was smooth, even if she played occasionally, even if she didn't wear finger cots, she would not hurt her fingers.

The sound of the qin is together, the sound of gold and jade, and the sound is clear and wonderful, fully expressing the five tones and nine virtues of the qin.

The reason why "Qin Fu" is the basic piece is because it is very inclusive.

A simple tune with a clear and cheerful taste.

Qin Se is in control, don't be quiet, that's probably what it means.

Unknowingly, after a piece of "Qin Fu" was played, Yu Youyao was a little dazed: "Cousin, how did I play?"

Zhou Linghuai smiled: "The sound of the piano is hearty and full of incisiveness. You can do whatever you want, move your heart as you want, and sway it freely. Even if you are fighting the piano, you can play it."

Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips: "It's cousin's qin that is very good, when I play it, I feel that there is nothing wrong with this qin, it is transparent, moist, quiet, round, even, clear, and fragrant. , I felt a sense of relief without noticing it.”

I just saw the qin just now, and I just felt amazed and amazed. After playing it for a while, I really liked it and was satisfied. I just heard her play "Qin Fu". The sound is clear and beautiful, round, long and clear, clear and clear, neither sad nor poignant, neither pitiful nor gentle, but it is just right for her nature.

Zhou Linghuai was also happy: "As long as you like it."

Yu Youyao approached her cousin and blinked: "Is this qin named? What's it called?"

Zhou Linghuai shook his head: "This is the piano for you. You should have named it yourself."

Yu Youyao blinked his eyes blankly: "Like the bell, Jiaowei, Great Sage's relics, etc., which one of them doesn't have a nice and special name? It is complete, and it may become a world-famous name in the future, and it will be famous for the ages, but it cannot be named arbitrarily."

The length of the guqin is three feet, six inches and five minutes, representing three hundred and sixty-five days in a year.

There are thirteen "qin emblems", which represent twelve months in a year and a leap month.

Originally there were five strings, symbolizing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Later, King Wen of Zhou added a string to mourn his dead son Boyi Kao, and when King Wu attacked Zhou, another string was added to increase morale.

Therefore, it is also called "Wenwu Lyre", but not every piano is qualified to be called "Cenwu Lyre".
