What kind of musical instrument is the ancient cricket, and what are its characteristics?

First, there are two kinds of ancient graceful and restrained here, one is lying graceful and restrained before Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the other is vertical graceful and restrained after Wei and Jin Dynasties. Vertical, including? Feng Shouyi? . What we often see now is the latter. The reason for the existence of two kinds of elegance can be traced back to the historical changes in China. Wozou is a traditional musical instrument of the Chinese nation in the pre-Qin period, similar to the lyre and harp, which was lost after the Song Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was chaos in the Central Plains, and rites and music collapsed. After the great ethnic integration in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the people in the Central Plains are eager to get rid of the shackles of Confucian ethics and worship the heroism of northwest ethnic minorities. At this time, traditional musical instruments from West Asia were introduced to China through Persia in the Western Regions. As a branch, the phoenix head was first introduced from India.

Secondly, talk about the structure of these three kinds of crickets. According to the description in Du You's Tong Dian in the Tang Dynasty, we can know that the lying spring is shaped like a lyre with seven strings, and it is a universal instrument with the pipa, and its playing techniques are similar to those of playing the pipa. The vertical basket is small in shape and easy to be hugged. The vertical sounding box is on the curved wood at the top, and the crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested crested. The difference is that its * * * sound box is located on the crossbar at the bottom, while the top is stilts, which has the function of tightening the strings.

Third, talk about its voice. Elegance is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very penetrating and empty in voice. It has a wide range and is usually used for solo, accompaniment and harmony. According to the professional scale, Hungry belongs to the seven-tone scale, which is much more melodic than most five-tone scales. Therefore, the music played with water chestnuts is just like flicking on the transparent water. The sound is ethereal and clear, and even the water surface is shaking gently, which is as intoxicating as the empty valley on the mountain.

Finally, it is not only a musical instrument, but also represents the exchange of eastern and western cultures and the collision of ideas. In different dynasties, it showed different charm of the times, which was a must for girls in the Han Dynasty? Skills? Its unique timbre fascinated the emperor, which is also the soul that history can give it.
