Research on Music Related to Chinese Traditional Musical Instruments

As the acme of literati music, Kunqu Opera has a history of more than 600 years, and its music dictionary is elegant and beautiful. Rouman is good at lingering softness and emphasizes "lasting appeal". Mr. Bai Xianyong, a famous American writer, said: "Kunqu opera has beautiful words, beautiful singing, beautiful figure and no beautiful words."

The intonation, kneading, plucking and annotation of guqin, as well as various lines in Kunqu opera, such as the first tone, the sudden tone and the continuous tone, are all ways to deal with rhyme and are the means of expression of "freehand brushwork". "Hand-off tone" changes the sound from reality to emptiness, creating a long and ethereal artistic conception, giving people a distant feeling.

Mr. Pei said: The morphological features of China traditional music, especially Guqin and Kunqu Opera, besides emphasizing the melody "line", the similarity between them is China's "rhyme".

Rhyme-nice voice; A good-looking font with rhyme; A painting with beautiful rhyme and rich spiritual connotation.

Mr. Pei said "Guqin Xiange", a kind of Guqin, is very old. It is recorded in Historical Records that there are "300 poems, all of which are string songs of Confucius". Unfortunately, the traditional string songs in modern times gradually declined (fortunately, Mr. Cha Fuxi left an example of literati singing string songs). Although it has been restored, it is very different from the traditional "string song" method, and various singing methods have been heard from time to time. There are western bel canto; There are China operas and so on.

Teacher Pei thinks that we can learn nutrition from Kunqu opera (especially Nankun opera) (of course, we don't have to sing Kunqu opera) to revive the rhyme of guqin string songs. Mr. Pei Jinbao: Guqin performer, pianist, restoration expert, director of China Kunju Guqin Research Association, vice president of Jiangsu Guqin Society, and representative inheritor of Suzhou intangible cultural heritage Guqin art.

China Kunqu Guqin Research Association is the only national first-class civil society in the field of Kunqu Guqin in China, which is headed by the Ministry of Culture and registered by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Founded in 1986, it was officially renamed China Kunqu Guqin Research Society in 2006. Since the establishment of China Kunqu Guqin Research Association, China Kunqu Guqin Research Association has been devoted to the excavation, rescue, protection and inheritance of Kunqu Guqin art, and has done a lot of positive and beneficial work for the protection and promotion of China Kunqu Guqin art for many years.
