Chapter 149 (1/2)
Today's topic is about when Putonghua will be popularized nationwide. The professor said that it has a lot to do with the Yuan Dynasty. It should have been popularized at that time.
At that time, Mongolia established an unusually large empire, with territory from Vietnam to Hungary. It was the largest empire with continuous territory in human history. It can be said that the Mongolian Empire brought the concept of global village, and mankind had the concept of world history for the first time.
Mongolian rulers found that there were so many languages in China that they could hardly communicate between the north and the south. They began to promote a language with an accent.
Therefore, modern Mandarin is far from ancient Chinese. Putonghua has only three tones and four rhymes, while Chinese has four tones and eight rhymes.
In addition, Chinese has no rolling tongue sound, but there are a large number of closed sound bytes, while Mandarin has a large number of rolling tongue sound and less closed sound bytes.
The professor said: ”the soft tone of Putonghua is actually the loss of tone. This phenomenon is a feature left by the Mongols with silent tone of their mother tongue. There are many Erhua tones in Putonghua, which are not found in other dialects...”
The more Liang Kun listened, the more he felt that he should change to another major, because he might not be able to practice ”Chinese” skills in his life, and the content of ancient Chinese was too complex.
He has read many crossing novels. No matter what era the protagonist wears, he can become a top talent with barrier free communication. In fact, if people really want to travel back, it is estimated that it is almost like going to a foreign country. They can't understand what ancient people said.
It is even more difficult to copy Tang poetry and Song Ci, not to mention that traditional characters were written in that era, and there is a big gap between the harmony of people's reading poetry and modern times. When they go, they can't become the king of poetry one by one.
Before entering the University, Liang Kun didn't know these doorways at all. Of course, ordinary people don't need to have an in-depth understanding of these knowledge. After all, only a few people are ready to go back to ancient times
If Liang Kun went back to ancient times and got used to the Internet and delicious food, he couldn't live at all.
Only after the Song Dynasty did people use oil to fry vegetables, mainly animal oil. Before the Song Dynasty, it was mainly boiled, and there was little seasoning. Before the Republic of China, Chinese people ate crude salt, which contained magnesium chloride and other compounds, which was harmful to human body. No one can afford coarse salt, and only the emperor can eat fine salt.
Listening to the professor talking about the integration of various national languages, Liang Kun suddenly caught an inspiration.
Whether it is the Han Dynasty or the dynasty established by foreign nationalities, it is inevitable to have a long-term war. Whether it is national integration or national assimilation, many people will die.
Death knew that everything was empty, but it was sad to see Kyushu Tong. Master Wang set the Central Plains day in the north, and told naiweng that he had not forgotten his family sacrifice.
Liang Kun repeated this poem twice in his mind, and his blessing came to his heart.
”Kyushu” is the alias and nickname of China. The word comes from Dayu's allusion to flood control. It is said that the ancient flood was towering, Dayu controlled the flood, took advantage of the situation, dredged the nine veins, delimited Jiuzhou according to the situation of mountains and rivers, developed agriculture and benefited future generations.
If ”Kyushu” in Lu You's ”but I can't see Kyushu Tong” refers to the Central Plains, then ”Kyushu” in Gong Zizhen's poem ”Kyushu is angry and depends on wind and thunder” in the Qing Dynasty refers to the whole China.
No matter what kind of explanation, in reality, if you want ”Kyushu Tong”, it seems that war is inevitable. Liang Kun thought of the mood of playing suona in this song, which is his best war song!
In the past, he was biased. He was full of music titles in the national treasure and the great unity of all ethnic groups. He felt that since the title of the song gives people a feeling of unity and love, of course, it should blow out the taste of love. In fact, what the suona part of the song needs to blow out is momentum.
Liang Kun may not get the right answer with his subconscious magic mirror. Because when his subconscious mind told him that he could not play the original music with an instrument, even if he had a flute in his hand, the person in the mirror could not play it. In terms of artistic conception, we can only rely on our own exploration.
Sattar played first, which was a desolate and vast feeling. In an instant, he brought the audience into the western regions and Mongolia, with vast Gobi and grassland in front of him.
Then there is the guzheng, which makes the audience hear the chivalrous spirit of walking around the world with a sword, and imagine the ancient city and village in the Central Plains.
The third instrument, the flute, plays the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. To make the audience feel that the beautiful scenery jumps out in one leap, there are green mountains and green waters in front of them.
Then there is the ensemble. The first ensemble of the song has no suona. At this time, all four people can feel the majestic mountains and rivers of the motherland, but they are always a little weak. This power is what needs to be highlighted when playing suona.
Once the suona comes out, you should have that rough sense of power. Suona not only represents the northwest in the song, but also shows the reason why Kyushu is the same. That is the artistic conception of ”see whose world today is”, rather than just leading the audience through the scenery of China.
Only when the suona is played like this, the song will be grand. Both the solo part and the ensemble part can clearly let the audience hear and think of anything. If the instrument is used properly, this song can become a masterpiece.
Liang Kun couldn't sit still as soon as he found his inspiration. He said to Liu Ke and Zhang Ziyi: ”I'll go out and help me take the book back to my dormitory.”
”Where are you going?” Liu Ke asked. Liang Kun had raised his hand.
”Professor, I want to practice my musical instruments. The national finals will be held the day after tomorrow,” Liang Kun said loudly.
Of course, the professor knew Liang Kun and waved his hand and let him go directly. Although some people in the class have to go, it is very shameful, but this student is too special.
Liang Kun took the flute and suona to the warehouse and practiced for a while. He sent a text message to enival and said he would go to CCTV to practice with them.
