Tang Xiaoxian: "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" poem and music The Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu's seven-character poem "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" states: "The tide of the spring river reaches the level of the sea, and the bright moon rises with the tide on the sea." "It starts with "I don't know how many people are returning by the moon, and the falling moon shakes the trees all over the river with love." "At the end, there are thirty-six sentences in total. Every four sentences change the rhyme. With a clear and beautiful pen, the scenery of the spring night in the south of the Yangtze River is reproduced, like a scroll of the Yangtze River illuminated by the moonlight. At the same time, it expresses the wanderer's longing for home. The poem has a clear artistic conception, lingering and non-compassionate, clear words, beautiful rhymes, and a perfect description of the scene and emotion. It was praised by the predecessors as "a single poem that covers the entire Tang Dynasty". Wen Yiduo called it "the poem among poems, the pinnacle of the pinnacle." "The poet also became famous for everyone because of his solitary poem." " The classical pipa opera set "Sunset Flute and Drum", also known as "Xunyang Moon Night", "Xunyang Pipa" or "Xunyang Song", has profound artistic conception and long music. The title of "Sunset Flute and Drum" was first seen in Yao Xie's "Jin" in the Qing Dynasty. "Music Research", and the score was first found in "Xianxu Youyin" pipa score passed down by Ju Zilin, and "The True Biography of Pipa Score of the Northern and Southern Schools" in 1819. It is generally said that this song was later renamed after the famous Tang poem "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night". My opinion is that Liu Yaozhang and Zheng Jinwen of the Shanghai Datong Concert in 1925 changed "Sunset Flute and Drums" to a silk and bamboo ensemble, and the first two lines of the famous poem "Pipa Xing" by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi are "The Xunyang River sees off guests on the first night, and the maple leaves and flowers bloom in the autumn." "Later, he said: "I resigned from the imperial capital last year and was relegated to Xunyang City where I was sick. There is no music in Xunyang, a remote place, and the sound of silk and bamboo is not heard all year round. "Xunyang (now the Yangtze River section in Jiujiang, Jiangxi) is mentioned three times in the poem. Because "Sunset Flute and Drum" is also known as "Xunyang Moonlight Night", "Xunyang Pipa" or "Xunyang Song", it was renamed "Spring River Flowers Morning Night" based on the sentence "Spring River Flowers Chaoqiu Moon Night" in "Pipa Xing" written on the bank of Xunyang. The main instruments of the music are pipa and xiao. "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" is a national instrumental music piece. The whole song is divided into ten sections: 1. Bells and drums on the river tower; 2. The moon rises above the east mountain; 3. The wind returns to the water; 4. Flower shadows cascade; 5. The depth of water and clouds; 6. The fishing boat sings late; 7. The waves beat on the shore; 8. The beams ring in the distance; 9. The boat is returning to the boat; 10. The end. Later, Peng Xiuwen, the conductor of the China Central Broadcasting Orchestra, gave this piece a delicate artistic treatment. He used the rich instrument colors of the big band, cleverly arranged them, and added and subtracted the instruments, so that the orchestra's sound was full of changes in pitch, shade, and thickness. "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" includes Chinese folk musical instrument solos, performances of different orchestration combinations, and is also adapted into piano music, Western orchestral music and other forms of performance. Written and adapted by Meng Qinghua and sung by famous Peking opera actors Yu Kuizhi (Laosheng) and Li Shengsu (Tsing Yi), the Peking opera "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is unique, unique and refreshing.
