It is a creative transformation and innovation of China's excellent traditional culture. A useful attempt at development.
Classical poetry reflects the phenology, customs, work and love of the Chinese nation in many aspects of thought and life. It is like a mirror of people's life. The guqin has always been highly praised by ancient Chinese literati. The left qin and the right hand have been the ideal life of literati throughout the ages. The combination of ancient poetry and guqin can be traced back to at least the time of Confucius. From the emergence of countless moving poems and music classics from the Book of Songs, Yuefu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera and other dynasties, we can see that most of these works are the most perfect collaboration between literati and musicians.
Mao Peiqi, a professor at the School of History at Renmin University of China and a historian of the Ming Dynasty, served as the composer of "Qin Zui Taibai" and was also the music creator of all the songs in this concert. In the opening session, he introduced the origin and original intention of music creation, and said: Chinese civilization has both a philosophical system and historical inheritance of "praising the transformation and education of heaven and earth" and an ideal sentiment of "the world must be benevolent". Cultural self-confidence is a more basic, deeper and more lasting force. In order to deeply explore the ideas and concepts contained in China's excellent traditional culture, and better inherit and carry forward Chinese wisdom and national spirit in the new era, this "Qin Zui Taibai" concert selected more than ten works by "Poetry Immortal" Li Bai and Li Qingzhao's works. Two works of poetry were composed into songs. Music creation strives to integrate the glory and dignity of Chinese history and the poet's transcendent expression of real life into national music, and strives to present a brand-new artistic style that is loved by the public.
Guqin artist Yang Qing took the lead in the performance, making this performance a masterpiece of qin song art jointly created by contemporary cultural figures and artists. The work perfectly integrates the cultural connotation and musical value of ancient Chinese poetry, providing the public with an in-depth understanding of the creative transformation of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation in art, and demonstrating a pioneering attempt.
At the scene, the performers of the Yangqing Guqin Art Center, dressed in elegant traditional national costumes, used the classical singing method of stringed songs and elegant rhymes, accompanied by guqin, dongxiao, pipa, guzheng, Ruanxian and other national musical instruments, and added some words before the performance of the song An in-depth interpretation of the cultural background. The literary narration by young cultural scholar Cao Yaxin is three-dimensional and vivid in form, and the effect is touching and refreshing.
There are eloquent narrations on one side and qin songs on the other. This form of interpretation that combines literary explanations with qin song playing and singing is not only based on classics, but also novel and fashionable, allowing the audience to have a rational understanding when listening to each qin song.
