43. Chinese Ancient Music--GuanShanYue 中国古乐---关山月

[CharlieHuang]

Hmmm, not exactly ancient as the first melody, Guan Shan Yue, first appeared in a qinpu that was published in the early 20th century... Shenren Chang, however, is ancient (1549).

The se used here looks like a modern se rather than the ones originally used (but I can't see the tail end to say for sure...)

好聽，可惜服裝不是唐代服飾，口音也非中古唐音。

「关山月」李白　明月出天山，苍茫云海间。长风几万里，吹度玉门关。　汉下白登道，胡窥青海湾。由来征战地，不见有人还。　戍客望边色，思归多苦颜。高楼当此夜，叹息未应闲。

河南是中国文化的发祥地，骗子是不少，但请不要以偏概全，哪都有­好人坏人。。

[ayanuhito]

河南有了这么高尚的文化！那为什么他们被叫了河南骗子。。

[Redogful]

@ayanuhito 何必如此独断？河南是中华文明发源地之一，阁下的祖先可能也是发­源于河南也说不定，说话要留后路，不可说尽。

The words are taken from a Tang dynasty poem by, I think, Li Bai, and descriibe the feelings of a man posted to frontier duty far from his family and in a desolate region.

Mann...he sings with alot of feelings in his beautiful voice...love it.

[nittak]

Why he is singing in Putonghua? I know that, ancient hanyu is some language that far apart from modern putonghua. Can anyone tell me why?Anyway, the music is awesome, it's very peaceful, smooth.

[jiang144]

the modern putonghua is based on ancient hanyu, but putonghua make hanyu more easy to understand. otherwise, people are not able to control the hanyu in 3 years.

[bidufu]

anyone know what this group is called??? This is awesome.

Clean arrangements. I love when music is arranged impeccably for stringed instruments. Each instrument has a very clear voice, no blurring of sounds and very delightful to listen to. Modern attempts to mix zheng with qin i feel have been lacking and poorly arranged. Good example here of how to do that! Thank you for this post!

[cacalacapoo]

this is not a zheng, it is the ancient se. They were traditionally played together until the se went extinct.

[nivsha]

Oops my bad. Thank you for clarifying. I do know the distinctions between 'zheng and se.
