"What a fool! I'm not telling you, why don't you teach..."
"You're talking about me, so what's the point of 'I'm not talking about you'? I teach you musical instruments? Do I also teach you music theory? Do I teach you composition? Do you teach you orchestration? Can you learn it?"
As soon as we returned home, the head of the village immediately came to Hanhan to complain, you said you knew so many things, why don't you teach us how to play musical instruments?
Before he could finish speaking, Hanhan interrupted him. How to teach him? Which of you can read ten lines in one glance and have a photographic memory?
I want to teach you all my skills. You have to be able to learn them!
"At least I'm smarter! You see, I don't know how to play any instrument."
The chief did not dare to be tough with Hanhan and spoke with an aggrieved look.
"We can teach everyone the simplified musical notation directly. Everyone knows 1234567 anyway, and the focus is on application.
Otherwise, we have to teach subtractive notation, gongchi notation, and five-tone modes. As for drum notation, it is a matter of rhythm, while notation of written notation is not difficult.
The real trouble is the harmony and orchestration. Whether it is Buddhist, Taoist, or the Yi people’s church, there is harmony.
Harmony can be said to be chords! The content is not much, ranging from one degree to more than ten degrees, including large and small pure, harmonious and disharmonious trends.
Following the harmony comes accompaniment, in minor and major keys, plus polyphony and several parts.
Finally, there is composition and orchestration. Composition is an extension of the previous ones, and orchestration is a demonstration of the understanding of various musical instruments and harmonic accompaniment.
For professional studies, it takes a long time to learn, five years to get the basics, but it is not difficult to learn a simple musical notation alone, and then use the musical notation to learn an instrument.
In one month, it is impossible to learn the flute, flute, morinouqin, erhu, and tambourine. If you can play it simply, it will be no problem. "
Zhu Wentian saw that the leader insisted, so he made it clear. He had been teaching other useful knowledge before, but now he wants to learn a musical instrument? OK!
"Which one is the easiest to learn?" The director became nervous.
“It’s best to learn to whistle, as the pitch must be consistent, the melody must be consistent, and it sounds good.
But it also requires skills and control. Many people don’t feel happy because they don’t master certain rules.
It's like writing poetry. You understand the rhyme. The more you write, the more troubled you become. Then... there are poems that don't conform to the rhyme but are still good. Isn't it amazing?
What does the music say? To choose one, it is four-two beat, with quarter syllables as one beat, and each measure has two beats, one beat is strong and the other is weak.
Four and three beats, a quarter syllable is one beat, and each measure has three beats, strong and weak.
Four and four are strong and weak, and then there are two, three, six, and eight.
It's just a rule, but it doesn't mean it's the same when composing music. Only when beginners master this can they express themselves freely.
Should you learn Morin Khuur first? I will teach you some simple music theory and understand the structure and sound production method of the Morin Khuur, as well as the sound of the parts you press with your fingers.
After this mastery, the remaining ones are skilled workers who have mastered music theory and are skilled in all instruments. "
Zhu Wentian doesn't attack people, he just learns, teaches and practices, it's that simple.
"Eager to learn?" The manager was tempted.
"It's easy to learn, isn't it just Morin Khuur! Eh? Now they can just find some gum, propolis, etc. to increase friction.
In fact, rosin is best used to apply rosin to the bowstrings of the morinouqin. It is astringent and makes the sound easier.
The strings are generally made of raw silk, but the best silk is eaten by silkworms... Aren't there wild jujubes in our village? Not the dates, the silkworms that eat the leaves, its silk.
We have rosin now, and it is made and used for dilution just like gasoline, but it can also be used for other purposes. "
As Zhu Wentian spoke, he thought of helping the people increase their entertainment activities by providing pianos, strings and rosin.
It's the same as playing the piano without rosin, but rosin is the easiest to obtain, and the effect is very good.
Moreover, silk is now used, and the bow of the horse's tail is only smeared with rosin.
What should I do if I apply too much and the strings become too sticky? Wash with alkali? Pickling?
No, throw it away and use the hair from the horse's tail to make it again. A bowstring can be used for several years. Will the herdsmen waste the hair from the horse's tail?
"Wait for me Hanhan, I'll write it, and then I'll send the rosin to them. We really brought a lot of it."
The lieutenant pulled out the drawer of the table in front of Hanhan, found the Four Treasures of the Study, and started writing.
Zhu Wentian also organized his language to make his explanation more standardized. Recording is different from chatting.
"I've finished writing Hanhan. It's the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Please write down the memorial tablet. We didn't bring the tablet with us when we came. We have space to occupy, so I can bring you with me."
The director has written down the bow strings and rosin of stringed instruments, reminding Hanhan that we have to... cry first during the New Year.
If you take the tablet, wrap it with incense ash, then place it, light the seven-star lamp, pray to the gods, add incense, and prick your finger to draw blood. This would be troublesome.
However, if the village guard is there and the village guard has the ability to pronounce the name, it will be fine. The village chief will say the name, the village guard will read it after him, and the village chief will write it.
Now Hanhan can write and engrave by himself, very quickly, and then he can burn some incense and it’s done.
It seems ridiculous. The village believes in this, just like the southeastern coastal areas believe in Mazu. How about provocation? Or go to the Potala Palace and say that the Buddha is fake, only then will you believe it...
"Already invited." Zhu Wentian stood up, walked to a standing cabinet next to him, opened the cabinet, and found a pile of stone tablets placed there.
The stone tablets are all rectangular, without a base, and the words are engraved.
You need to punch out the mortise and tenon structure from the bottom of the rectangle, and then make a base and chisel it, or glue it.
When Zhu Wentian has nothing to do at night, he just takes a moment without any effort.
People who engrave seals can carve out a seal with reverse characters in a few tens of seconds. The tablet has orthographic characters and does not need to be printed on paper.
'Pfft...' The chief knelt down and moved to the short standing cabinet. He picked up one of the stacked tablets and looked at it, kowtowed and put it back before standing up.
"I asked them to build the base! It's actually made of stone. Why didn't I know?"
After the chief was satisfied, he felt that he didn't know when he had become so stupid and asked in surprise.
"There is a stone here! I think there is one, so let's carve the stone! Isn't there a stone platform in this palace? I will carve it out bit by bit."
Zhu Wentian said with an innocent face that the room he lived in was a suite, and the owner didn't know who it was, so he built a stone platform to believe in Buddhism.
He carved out the ancestral tablets of Xiaqiu Village bit by bit on other people's stone platforms. If you believe in Buddhism, what does it have to do with my Xiaqiu Village?
"I haven't noticed it. It's beautiful. The carved characters are really nice."
The chief stood up and took a deep breath. The key problem was solved.
He continued: "It's made of stone. You can't take it back because you're afraid it might fall on the road. Let's put it here! Can there always be a place for us here?"
"When the village chief was outside Donghua Gate, you asked if you could build a village for us? That time I replied, it depends on whether it works or not.
Today you asked again, and I answered again to see if we have the ability to support all affairs in the North.
Our opponent is not Zhu Yuanzhang, ah, not His Majesty, but the civil and military officials in the dynasty, all with their own agendas.
Because there are so many resources here, including coal, iron ore, gypsum ore, quartz ore, potassium feldspar ore, limestone, and calcite ore.
Let’s put it this way! Give us time and let us build the industrial system in Xiaqiu Village here. We will have everything we need. Salt is not a problem. "
Zhu Wentian talks about resources and human nature.
