What is elegance?

Yayue, an ancient traditional stringed instrument in China, has a long history.

The shape is mainly divided into three types: lying, vertical and crested (there are also data that classify crested as vertical).

Its timbre is soft as a stream and its range is wide as a river.

In the form of performance, the piano is also widely used, which can be used as solo, ensemble, ensemble, accompaniment and concerto.

Today, we can still see it in large national orchestras.

First of all, introduce "lying". According to "Historical Records of Xiaowu", "So Sainan Vietnam prayed for Taiyi, and Hou Di began to use music and dance to call songs, and from then on, he made stringed instruments." It can be seen from this record that the origin of lying down is very early. Lying on the ground can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, and there were similar musical instruments in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to Du You's Tong Dian in the Tang Dynasty, "What tune did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty make musicians listen to ... Today, according to its shape, it is as small as a harp and has seven strings, which is like plucking a pipa." Therefore, unlike the lyre, the box of the lyre has a universal device similar to the pipa. According to written records, it was very popular from Han Dynasty to Sui and Tang Dynasties (whether it was the court or the people), but it was lost after Song Dynasty, but both Korea and Japan inherited it.

Koguryo's national musical instrument, Xuanqin, originated from Wograceful.

In fact, "Harp" originated in Persia, also known as "Huqin", and was introduced to China along the Silk Road. It is recorded in Sui Shu Yueji: "Today's music is pipa and harp, and it comes from the western regions and is not a musical instrument of China." There are many kinds of vertical graceful shapes, including angular graceful (big graceful, small graceful), phoenix graceful and dragon graceful. From the Song and Wu Dynasties, there is such a description: "It is three feet high, shaped like a half-wooden comb, with a black Qi Diao gold painting seat, twenty-five strings, and one person kneels." This refers to the big vertical basket. Although the vertical cricket declined and gradually disappeared after the Ming Dynasty, the modern cricket was successfully developed and improved in China in the 1970s and 1980s, among which the cricket with goose columns and double strings was the most famous. However, it is particularly important to point out that the modern piano is actually different from the ancient harp, and it can actually be regarded as a new musical instrument.

According to the data, "phoenix head graceful" is classified as vertical graceful. According to the Records of Sui Shu Music, "Tianzhu" is very interesting. ..... nine kinds of musical instruments, such as Feng Shou, and twelve people in one work. "The Eastern Jin Dynasty was introduced from Tianzhu and used for Tianzhu music. In the middle Tang Dynasty, the "Myanmar Harp" was introduced from Myanmar and used to entertain national music. This kind of string is single-row, which was lost in the Ming Dynasty. There was a "general manuscript machine" map in Qing Dynasty. In the 1980s, China successfully trial-produced a single-string phoenix head. There are crested crickets in Dunhuang murals, and there are also collections in China Musical Instrument Museum.
