The host held the microphone in his hand and was very worried that these people would point the finger at Ji Donglai.
After all, Ji Donglai's views were very new and out of tune with the times. If something happened, the school meeting would not be able to end.
"Teacher, I would like to ask Senior Ji Donglai a question just now. I am a music major, is it okay?"
A middle school student stood up with the microphone. The host wanted to refuse the other party's question to Ji Donglai, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was studying music. Ji Donglai came on stage again and picked up the microphone.
"Hello, please ask a question!"
The host stood next to Ji Donglai and said with a smile to the middle school students.
"Hello, Senior Ji Donglai, I am studying folk music guzheng, and I am also learning guitar. I am about to apply for school. When choosing a major, do you think it is better for me to learn guzheng or guitar? Several teachers told me that I should Learn guitar, because there are many advanced guitar players on the market now.”
"Even if we don't succeed in the future, we can still find a job with just a guitar. The singers in Xidan make a lot of money every year. But the same cannot be said for guzheng, because there are no guzheng players in Xidan. What suggestions do you have? ?」
When the middle school students were talking, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, especially many people who liked rock and Western music. They suggested that middle school students learn guitar. After all, it is very easy to find a job. The most important thing is that it is now popular throughout China.
Looking at the group of children with slightly immature faces in the world, Ji Donglai was speechless and smacked his mouth. It was not that he didn't want to answer, because there was nothing to talk about. After all, telling the truth would hurt many people's hearts.
Say something against your will? Ji Donglai can't do it!
Ji Donglai smiled bitterly and covered his forehead.
"This question seems difficult to answer. Our classmate Ji Donglai can't answer it. After all, our Capital Institute of Technology is a science major, and the question asked involves art, which is even more difficult. Science students are not our strong point in liberal arts. How about we all focus on asking questions about science?"
Seeing that Ji Donglai didn't answer, the host thought that Ji Donglai didn't understand music and hurriedly smoothed things over. A group of middle school students below were whispering. The student who had just asked the question had disappointment on his face and was about to hand the microphone to the classmates around him.
Other students had contempt for Ji Donglai on their faces. After all, Ji Donglai's views just now were contrary to many people's perceptions. Some adults, including some adults, were whispering that Ji Donglai was just trying to impress people and had no real talent at all. , while Ji Donglai waved his hand at the host.
"The host is right. I am a science student, but I want to answer this question from the perspective of a science student. I wonder if the classmate just now wants to hear it?"
When speaking, Ji Donglai saved enough face for the host, which is the basis of human behavior. The host was very comfortable and signaled to the audience not to take away the microphone.
"This classmate, I want to ask, if you like guzheng so much, why do you want to learn guitar? Or to put it another way, why does your family think you should learn guitar?"
I am the microphone. Ji Donglai leaned on the podium with one hand and said in a very leisurely manner. The students in the audience were slightly stunned.
"My parents say guitar is more advanced because people in developed countries play guitar, and only backward countries like us play primitive things like guzheng."
When the middle school students in the audience spoke, their voices were a little quiet, but everyone could hear them.
A group of students began to whisper again. Although everyone did not admit it now, this had already reached a consensus in the hearts of many people.
Every point has had a great impact on the young people of this generation, and even left an indelible mark on the minds of the previous generation.
Fortunately, Nine Demons happened, otherwise this generation would have thought that the beacon of civilization would never go out and the Empire State Building would continue to grow infinitely taller.
But even so, even twenty years later, many people still naively believe that it is the end of civilization and the paradise of the world.
"This student's answer is very general. Let me ask you again, how many strings does the guzheng have? How many strings does the guitar have?"
With reflection, Ji Donglai stared at the
This middle school student.
"The guzheng has twenty-one strings, and the guitar has six strings."
Many people in the audience didn't know what Ji Donglai meant by asking, and the audience became quiet for a while, including many outstanding students from the Capital Institute of Technology.
"Playing the piano is all about combinations, and you know better than me. Then let me solve a mathematical problem for you. There are twenty-one strings in the guzheng. How many combinations are the factorials of twenty-one? We have all studied mathematics. Don't tell me You don’t understand me.”
"There are so many combinations of guzheng that you can't even count them. What about the guitar? With six strings, how many factorial combinations are there? Which one is easy to remember? And what I'm talking about is just a horizontal data comparison. When playing the piano, you also need to pay attention to fingering and position, and then multiply by The combination just now, in this calculation, the data of the guzheng is even greater. This combination of guitars is not worthy of the guzheng in terms of data! Now do you still think that the guzheng player is low-level and the guitar player is high-level?"
After Ji Dong finished speaking, everyone in the audience was stunned, and then thunderous applause broke out, and many people cheered, including the student who just asked the question. At this time, I felt proud that I was finally recognized by people in public. admit.
In the current environment, people's thoughts are not as divergent as they will be in the future, so it is very easy to be led by others. Ji Donglai's simple data analogy fits the cognition of these people at the scene.
"Let me tell you one more thing. When our ancestors made classical music, they paid attention to elegant music, five syllables. If you listen to the music of our country, it is generally the kind of music that is more harmonious with nature, and it is grand and solemn!"
"One thing you may not know is that when the Japanese invaders entered our country's capital, other countries were trying hard to collect gold, silver and jewelry. What were they collecting? Ancient Chinese classics, one of which is very important Music scores, one day in the future you can go to Japan to find ancient Chinese music scores and try out those music, that is truly good music."
"Most Western music is noisy, with seven-note scales. We won't comment on whether it's good or bad for the time being. One thing is for sure, listening to Chinese music can generally calm your mind. What about Western music? It's hard to calm your nerves. This is the difference. Why do we listen to music? Most people are looking for resonance, and it is understandable that young people like to be noisy."
"After the age of thirty, most people begin to pursue peace! So before the age of thirty, it is normal for people to pursue the noise of the guitar. What about after the age of thirty? The elegant music represented by the guzheng is the pursuit of the vast majority of people. Pursuit. Go to some high-end teahouses and see that they are almost all folk music from our country. I don’t know if you will be satisfied with my answer.”
