"Euno"

The fisherman is near the Xiyansu at night, Xiaoji Qingxiang burns Chu bamboo.

When the cigarettes are sold out at the sunrise, no one is seen, and the sound is green.

Looking back at the lower and middle streams of the clouds, there are no clouds on the rocks.

This "Fisherman" poem is written by Liu Zongyuan, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. The poem expresses the poet's perception of life and his feelings for the landscape. It vividly expresses the poet's desire to return to nature and enjoy the life of a fisherman. 

Appreciation and Analysis of Guqin Famous Songs - Ye Nai

"Enai" is a qin piece created by Liu Zongyuan based on the poetry of his fisherman. Its score was first seen in "Xilutang Qintong", and later included in "Taiyin Supplement", "Wuyin Qin Score", "Yuwu Qin Score", "Lvqi New Voice", "Zangchunwu Qin Score", "Qin Score". "Suitable", "The Secret Purpose of Huiyan", "The Secret Order of Huiyan", "Chengjiantang Piano Score", "Chun Caotang Piano Score", "Qinxiangtang Piano Score", "Yanlulou Piano Score", "Cun Gutang Piano Score", "Ziyuantang Piano Score", "Qin Score Harmony", "Erxiang Piano Score", "Zhiyun Music Score", "Tianwen Pavilion Music Score", "Tian Lai Pavilion Music Score", "Tian Lai Pavilion Music Score" Xiangyunzhai piano score", "Xingxin piano score" and other piano score collections.

The modern pianist Mr. Guan Pinghu once composed this piece based on "Tianwenge Piano Score", which has been well received by all pianists. However, due to historical reasons, there are two versions of Guan's score. "Enai" played by contemporary qin players, one of Duoyi Guan's editions. The version played by the tutor, Mr. Tianhong, is based on "Xilutang Qintong", which is the oldest extant version. "Enai" played by Mr. Tianhong is included in the album "Liuyunyueyin", and this score is also included in "Xing Xin Qin Score".

In "Xingxin Qinpu", the title of "Enai" is explained as: "It was written by Liu Zongyuan. There is a poem called the fisherman. The so-called. The fisherman lives by the west rock at night. A sound of green mountains and rivers. Looking back at the middle of the sky. The clouds on the rocks are chasing by themselves. The song is based on a sentence of green mountains and rivers. The clouds are cold and the mountains are empty. The pleasures of Jiang Han and the moon are white."

There is a postscript to "Enai" in "Xingxin Qinpu": "This song is a fisherman's song. The old score is like the immemorial sound. Wenhuitang. Yangchuntang. The name is fisherman's song. It is because of the fisherman's song. At that time, people commonly called this song as the North Fisherman's Song. The fisherman's song takes seven tones. Ye is the five-tone. That's why the North character of the North Fisherman's song. The most famous one is Mr. Guan Pinghu. It is based on the notation of Mr. Guan. It is based on the notation of Tianwen Pavilion. Due to the reasons of the times. There are actually two notations for Mr. Guan to play the notation. It can express the labor of the boatmen. Mr. Guan re-edited the second edition. What people do today. Most of them rely on Mr. Guan's score. Or it may be arranged. The version is different. This song is not false to write a fisherman's song. However, it is actually the author's request for the fisherman to be comfortable. Its interest is different from the toiling fisherman. Therefore, the interest of this song lies in the whiteness of the river and the moon. The song and wine are free and easy. Poetic. Not the toil of a fisherman."

When the cigarettes are sold out at the sunrise, no one is seen, and the sound is green. Scenery and people, sound and light are intertwined and blended together naturally. And this song is based on the sentence of the green mountains and rivers, as stated in the inscription of "Xingxin Qinpu": "The song of the fisherman is also the song of the fisherman, and the river scene of the fisherman's song is used for self-comfort.". Although the sentence imitating the fisherman's singing in the song is very vivid, it is more of a freehand brush. The whole song is natural and smooth, with a fisherman's song and a river scene, and the movement and stillness are suitable. There is a haze outside of things, and a free and easy poetic taste. Try listening to it, Ling Ling seven strings, the voiceless sound begins to come out, like a flowing picture scroll, the fun of water, light and mountains, and the sound of fisherman and Enai come out leisurely from the fingertips.
