The Wizard of Medicine

"President Ding is invited below."

Ding Yongning, the president of the Zhonghuan Guqin Club, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stood up and said, "Young Master Cai, my repertoire is a three-person ensemble, and I need to borrow your piano."

"No problem." Although he was a little dissatisfied with President Ding's negligence, everyone was invited, so what else could Cai Gaoyang say?

The Cai family is extremely wealthy, so the piano is naturally available on the spot.Soon the piano and chairs were arranged.

President Ding waved, and two male assistants came up from below, one was sitting by the piano, the other was wearing an erhu.President Ding himself uses Guqin.

Professor Wu Wan frowned imperceptibly.

Yan Zixiu saw it, and knew in his heart that Professor Wu Wan, as a member of the literati qin school, didn't like the tricks of the artist qin school.

Some even insist on the most traditional silk strings for the strings.

A pianist once said: "The use of metal strings is mainly for playing. When using the Guqin as a tool, of course it is convenient to choose; I regard the Guqin as a friend, and the silk strings are relatively fragile. If he is uncomfortable, I will know it immediately." He believes that metal strings are a modern product, lacking the elegant and profound timbre of silk strings, and the changes in timbre when played are not rich, and emotions cannot be reflected through the sound of the piano, and the guqin naturally lacks "character".

Of course, people of the artiste qin genre also think that literati qin people are conservative, only care about self-entertainment, have a high self-esteem, and are not close to the people and not down-to-earth.

For thousands of years, the two factions have always had such antagonism, but in fact no one can do without the other.

After President Ding and others got ready, they played a song "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream".

The piano, guqin, and erhu successively played soothing and slightly sentimental melodies, arousing people's life experience of the impermanence of everything, and arousing the emotional resonance of everyone's hardships of internal and external troubles.

President Ding opened his voice and sang the lyrics: "Yesterday was like the water flowing eastward, so far away from me, I can't stay away. Today, I am so worried. Cut off the water with a knife, and the water will flow more. Toast to relieve sorrow and sorrow, the breeze of tomorrow Four drifting."

"New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream" is Mr. Huang An's representative work, and it is also the ending song of the TV series "Bao Qingtian".

Its words were recreated by Mr. Huang An based on Li Bai's "Farewell to School Secretary Shuyun at Xietiaolou in Xuanzhou" and Du Fu's "Beauty". "A farewell to school secretary Shu Yun at Xie Tiao Tower in Xuanzhou" wrote: "Those who abandon me, don't let the day of yesterday stay; those who mess with my mind, today is more worrying. ...... Draw a knife to cut off the water and let the water flow again, toast Dissipate sorrow and worry more. Life is not satisfactory in this world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads out boats."

And in Du Fu's "Beautiful Woman", there is: "There is a beautiful woman in a peerless generation, living in an empty valley... But when you see a newcomer laughing, do you hear the old one crying? The water in the mountain spring is clear, but the water in the mountain spring is turbid..."

This kind of re-creation is called allusion, and it is a very common literary technique.For example, Su Dongpo likes to include ancient works, and his works are often implied by later generations.

President Ding sang while playing: "Because only the newcomers laugh, who hears the old ones cry. The word love is so hard. Do you have to ask clearly, or pretend to be confused, knowing more than you know but not being satisfied. It seems like a person Mandarin ducks and butterflies, in an age that shouldn't be, but who can get rid of the sorrow in the world. In the colorful world, mandarin ducks and butterflies are already insane in the world, why bother to go to the blue sky, it is better to sleep together gently..."

With the playing and singing of President Ding and the three, everyone felt the endless twists and turns of youth, elegance, time, and old dreams, as well as a blend of lingering poignancy and letting go.

The so-called first hearing does not know the meaning of the song, and then listening to it is already the person in the song.Many people touched their feelings, reminiscing about the fleeting years and the song-like years, and shed tears silently.Among them is the star Tian Hua, maybe he remembered the friend who acted opposite him.

The lyrics and music of this song are like the nectar of the years, and the family affection, love, and friendship in it are endlessly memorable.

President Ding and others finished playing and singing, and a burst of warmer applause rang out.

No matter how much the literati look down on the artist's piano, it can't stop the charm of the artist's piano.

……

The Guqin Appreciation Exchange Meeting is drawing to a close.

Cai Gaoyang had already made up his mind at this time, and when the event was over, no matter whether it was paying a high price or playing the emotional card, he had to get Dr. Yan a Guqin handed down from generation to generation.

He stepped onto the podium and was about to declare the event over.Suddenly President Ding said: "Mr. Cai wait a minute!"

"President Ding, are you...?"

Not only Cai Gaoyang, many people were taken aback.

President Ding smiled: "That's right. I see that Dr. Yan has a deep knowledge of guqin, and everyone has invited him to the guest table. Do you want him to play a song for everyone to make us full? Where's Erfu?"

Cai Gaoyang complained to President Ding in his heart, the event was about to be completed, so why are you looking for trouble?If Yan Zixiu's ability to play the guqin is not as good as that of Professor Wu Wan and you, President Ding, wouldn't it make the whole event anticlimactic and end in a disappointment?

President Dante's words belonged to a conspiracy, and there was no way to deny or reject them.Yan Zixiu was indeed invited to the stage as the guest of honor.

The audience in the audience took a look, it was interesting.It seems that President Ding is dissatisfied with Dr. Yan being equal to himself, and came up with his foolishness.

Cai Gaoyang looked at Yan Zixiu helplessly, expecting him to say that he only knows how to appreciate the piano but not how to play the piano, and then he would borrow the donkey down the slope to announce the end of the event.

Yan Zixiu's idea is that he is willing to connect the vows of Medicine Buddha with everyone at the right time, so that those who are destined can benefit: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Doctor Yan is going to play the guqin after two wonderful performances?

Good people like Mr. Huang, Boss Lin, Tian Hua, Gu Yingzhi, and Professor Wu Wan were all worried about him.

Like Cai Gaoyang, they are all afraid that Dr. Yan will continue to be a dog, and the future will not be as good as before.If someone booed again, it would lose all face.

"Brother Cai, please warm up a furnace of fragrance for me." Yan Zixiu's Qiankun ring contains all kinds of fragrance, but it is inconvenient to take it out here.

"No problem, I'll come in person." Seeing that he was so calm, Cai Gaoyang felt a little more confident in his heart, so he cleaned his hands and burned incense himself, instead of asking the servant to do it for him.

Mr. Huang and the others were more knowledgeable. Looking at Yan Zixiu's battle, they knew that there would be an even more amazing show coming up.

President Ding was a little surprised when he saw that he was so serious, but immediately comforted himself that this young man was just putting on airs.

The audience was of course happy to listen to one more song and applauded one after another.

Yan Zixiu sat upright, calmed down, and stroked the strings.

As the sound of the piano flowed, the curtains behind the large windows around the living room suddenly fluttered, and a warm fragrant wind blew in from outside.Everyone just felt that they were in the prairie where flowers were in full bloom, the sky was so blue and the clouds were so white.Birds and flowers are everywhere, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Everyone is lying down and resting on the grassland, or playing around, or communicating with each other, carefree and free.

……

I don't know how long it took, everyone came back from the wonderful realm, and found that they were still sitting in the hall; feeling the body and mind again, they all felt transparent inside and outside, relaxed and free, with a clear mind and a happy mood.

"Oh, it's so comfortable."

"Yeah, it's been a long, long time since I felt so comfortable."

"What kind of music is this? How can it have such a magical effect?"

"It doesn't feel like a piece of music in the world."

Suddenly someone said pleasantly: "The birdsong just now is not an auditory hallucination, not an image, there are really birds outside."

Everyone looked around after hearing the sound, only to see that there were indeed many unknown and beautiful birds on the windowsill of the hall.These birds are still chirping in low voices, as if they still have something to say and don't want to leave.
