The half-cup of tea passed by in a blink of an eye. Li Yu gathered his thoughts and reluctantly answered: "The sound of Mr. Huai Jian's piano is like leisurely distant mountains and wandering on flowing water. If my guess is correct, the song he plays should be "High Mountains and Flowing Waters." "
He paused for a moment, hoping to hear some comments from Master Shuying Pavilion, but his expectation was in vain, so he could only continue: "Judging from the playing technique, he is skilled and the sound is pleasant and refreshing. It can be seen that this young master with a sword is Although he is young, he has achieved such proficiency, which is really amazing. The sound of the piano is really wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! This music can only be heard in heaven, and it can only be heard several times in the world!"
Li Yu didn't know how to play the piano at all. He only knew that the sound of the piano was beautiful, but he didn't know where the beauty was. After searching for a while, he could only say this cliche.
After saying this, Li Yu waited anxiously for the judgment of the Master of Shuying Pavilion. The second floor was silent, and it seemed that Li Yu's embarrassing cheers were not heard at all.
The master of Shuying Pavilion did not say a word. In the delicate atmosphere, Li Yu gradually became panicked: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Even I feel that these clichés are perfunctory and will never satisfy her. But I really don't understand... how to do it." Okay?"
Suddenly there was a sigh in the air: "It seems that you still don't understand the art of tasting."
Hearing the sentence of life and death, Li Yu's heart instantly sank to hell: "I still can't get through this level. All my previous efforts have been wasted!"
Just when this depressing thought came to mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Li Yu's mind: "This level seems to be a test of music, but in fact it is not really a test of my understanding of the sound of the piano, but a way for me to find out what the sound of the piano is." This shows how the theory of the piano is similar to poetry. The sound of the piano is just an illusion, but in fact it is still a test of poetry!"
At a tense moment, Li Yu suddenly realized: "For a good work, words of praise are not as good as words of criticism. Only those with a unique discernment can find shortcomings in seemingly flawless works and criticize them." Shuyingge The Lord must be expecting me to discover the shortcomings of the sound of the piano, but what are the shortcomings?”
But she heard Hu Jiangxue say slowly: "Li Yu, you do have some talent, but if you want to be the successor of Shuying Pavilion,..."
Li Yu felt anxious and said hastily: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet. Although the sound of the piano is beautiful, it has great shortcomings."
"Oh." Hu Jiangxue responded with interest and changed her words: "Then what is the shortcoming?"
"Sure enough, there are shortcomings!" Sensing the hint in the words of the master of Shuying Pavilion, Li Yu's thoughts changed rapidly and he suddenly had an idea. His eyes were extremely determined: "Although the sound of the piano is beautiful, it is not touching. Although the boy wanted to come to Shuying Pavilion earlier. In front of the Shadow Pavilion, if the sound of the piano touches your heart, the boy will definitely be immersed in it and will never continue moving forward without hesitation. In other words, the sound of the piano cannot even hold back the boy's attachment at all, let alone the state of lingering around for three days. ”
The more Li Yu spoke, the more confident he became, and he talked eloquently: "The heart is the ambition, the speech is the poem, the emotion is moved in the heart and is reflected in the words. The words are insufficient, so I sigh, and the sigh is insufficient, so I chant. Poetry and the sound of the piano It’s just a theory. Master Huai Jian’s music may be called sublime in form, but it lacks true feelings and is inferior in spirit!”
Hu Jiangxue said: "How can you move people without true feelings? That person didn't dare to express his true feelings like a phoenix to a phoenix, but instead pretended to be like mountains and rivers. It's really ridiculous."
"Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is an ancient song used by Sima Changqing to express his lovesickness to Zhuo Wenjun. Li Yu couldn't help but secretly thought: "It turns out that Mr. Huai Jian wanted to attract the attention of Shuying Pavilion Master with the mountains and flowing water, but he didn't know that he let Shuying instead." The Pavilion Master looks down upon you."
Hu Jiangxue continued: "His heart is not pure, and his music is not beautiful, so he makes the heart tune of a close friend just a tool to show off. How can it be appreciated? I don't like that person very much. You don't understand the rhythm. , I can't hear the subtle changes in the sound of the piano due to your appearance. In fact, when that person played the mountain and flowing water, he couldn't do it completely. There were many mistakes, and the shape could not be called superb. But if you can tell the principle of 'painting the heart's voice', you should understand that the way of poetry cannot be faked. You have passed this third level."
Li Yu's eyes shone and he said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Master Shuying Pavilion, for your guidance. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."
In fact, these several tests of Shuying Pavilion Master can be said to be making things difficult for Li Yu, but how can they not be cultivation for Li Yu?
The first level made Li Yu understand that there is no limit to learning, and books are never far away; the second level made Li Yu understand that he should not be afraid of difficulties when climbing to the top; the third level made Li Yu understand that his inner feelings should not be distorted. These three levels were carefully arranged, which was extraordinary, and Li Yu gained a lot.
Just listen to Hu Jiangxue smile softly: "It's rare that your young mind can be revealed at just one point. This fourth level test is judgment. Li Yishan of the Tang Dynasty has a beautiful poetry style, and there have always been different opinions on the meaning of his untitled poem. Please tell me your opinion. I’ll give you half a cup of tea to think about.”
Li Yu's favorite poems are Li Taibai, Li Changgu and Li Yishan, and he has already had ideas about the meaning of Li Yishan's poems. This level is really drowsy. Give me a pillow, which is exactly what Li Yu wants.
There was no need for time to think about it. Li Yu was confident, eloquent and eloquent: "Recently, many scholars think that Li Yishan's poems do not involve family and country, but only write about lovesickness. But although the boy has little knowledge, he disagrees. Tang Dynasty Zhongren has always been a metaphor for xing, and often uses men and women to satirize the family and the country. For example, Zhang Shuibu's "Returning the king's pearls sheds tears, wishing they could meet each other when they were not married." It sounds like a woman's tone, but it is actually used to refuse someone's recruitment. .”
Li Yu continued: "Li Yishan's life experience was rough, and all the chapters contain allegorical metaphors. Chu Yu's feelings are full of support, but Zhang Bin is sick and has no hope. These two lines of poems can be said to be Li Yishan's self-confession. Those untitled poems about lovesickness are actually unrecognized talents. of sustenance.
The boy dared to prove what he said with an "Untitled" poem. They came with empty words and left without a trace. The moon was slanting upstairs at five o'clock. The dream is so far away that it is difficult to recall it, and the book is hastily turned into ink. The wax illuminates the half cage of golden jade, and the musk smoke slightly embroiders the hibiscus. Liu Lang already hated Pengshan for being far away, and even more so because he was separated by 10,000 layers of Pengshan.
They came with empty words and left without a trace. They said that Linghu Gu was not close to Yishan and was not willing to support Yishan. The dream is that it is difficult to call out the cry of farewell, which means that the fox will never come back. The fact that the book was written in thick ink means that before Linghu went to court, he asked someone to find Yishan to write the manuscript. Liu Lang already hated Pengshan for being so far away, and even more so because of the two sentences, Yishan painfully said: Before Linghu Gui became prime minister, it was as far away as Pengshan Mountain and could not be approached. Now that Linghu Gui has become prime minister Finally, it was separated by ten thousand weights.
The so-called "knowing people and commenting on the world", if one does not know Li Yishan's rough life experience, ignores the lament of lost path in his love poems, and only thinks of the feelings of his children, it is probably difficult to understand Li Yishan's heart. "
Hu Jiangxue rarely gave a word of praise: "Put through the clouds and see the true face. Not only did you pass this test, but what you said was very reasonable, and it inspired me a lot. It's my turn to say thank you."
Li Yu hurriedly declined: "The master of Shuying Pavilion really killed the boy."
Hu Jiangxue chuckled and said: "Why do you call yourself a brat? The so-called teaching is mutually beneficial, but you are being humble. This fifth level is about knowing your mind."
