"Pingsha Falling Wild Goose" is a guqin piece that has been handed down in various genres. It was first published in the Ming Dynasty "Gu Yin Zheng Zong" (1634), also known as "Yan Luo Ping Sha". Since its inception, there have been more than 50 kinds of music collections published in various genres. Only the first volume of "Guqin Song Collection" published in 1962 included the performance scores of six musicians. There are Chen Ziang in the Tang Dynasty, Mao Minzhong and Tian Zhiweng in the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Quan in the Ming Dynasty. Because there is no reliable historical data, it is difficult to confirm who it is from.

In the Ming Dynasty, this song was called "Yan Luoping Pingsha". The music score was first published in the piano score collection of "Guyinzhengzong". The melodious and smooth tune of "Falling Wild Goose in Pingsha" depicts the scene of geese circling and looking forward in the sky through the occasional croaking of geese. In "Tianwenge Piano Score", it is written: "Gai takes its autumn high and fresh air, the wind is quiet and the sand is flat, the clouds are thousands of miles away, and the sky is flying. I borrow the long-term ambition of Honghu. It is also the one who writes the mind of Yi Shi." The feeling of looking back, the state of being up and down, the image of flying and then gathering, the god who is startled and revived", "When it falls, the sand is level and the water is far away, the mind is relaxed, the friends and partners have no guesses, and the male and the female have a narrative", saying that the world is dangerous, It is not as emotional as the geese. Most of the seven stanzas are now circulating, and the main tones are roughly the same as the musical image. The melody rises and falls, continuous, beautiful and beautiful; The "Pingsha" of the Zhucheng School adds a paragraph to express the geese flying in a simulated way under the background of a fixed tone pattern.

Although "Pingsha Falling Wild Goose" appeared relatively late, it is one of the most widely circulated works in the past three hundred years. The reason why it is widely spread is not only the melody is smooth and beautiful, but also because of its novel and unique expression, which is easy for the audience to understand.

Introduction to Guqin Repertoire Pingsha Luoyan

The meaning of the song "Pingsha Luoyan" is different from the solution of various piano scores. "Guyin Zhengzong" said this song: "Gai takes its autumn high and fresh air, the wind is quiet and the sand is flat, the clouds are thousands of miles away, and the sky is flying. With the far-sightedness of Hongqi, I write the mind of the Yi Shi. ... The rhythm of the whole body is usually three ups and downs. At the beginning, it is like a guest of swan geese, and it is very vague in the sky. The geese are flying in harmony, and they are faint and appearing, if they come and go. If they want to fall, they look around and circle in the sky; they will fall. The three turns of the continent, as soon as they fall, one responds to the other, three or five form a group, flying and mingling for food and food, and they get what they want: the mother and the child follow the male and the male, and they can also taste it.” This solution to the problem of geese The description is very deep and vivid. The whole song is euphemistic and smooth, meaningful and fresh. ...

"The fusion of vitality is mountains and rivers, the beauty of mountains and rivers is called Hengxiang, its steaming is Yunni, [1] its birth is Qizi." Fanshui Qingxiang, sitting and watching the clouds rise, Xiaoxiao clear water, Yue Yunfei, Zhongqing light Knock, fairy music floats around. From Huiyan Peak in Hengyang, the mountains extend northward to Hengshan Mountain, from Dongzhou Island down the Xiangjiang River, to the "Yan Temple Evening Bell" outside Qingliang Temple in the north corner of Hengshan Mountain. The beautiful landscape and profound cultural background can always arouse the inspiration of talents and make great works. Hengyang has a lot of rhythm since ancient times, but in today's Hengyang, we know that the three famous Chinese classical songs "Pingsha Falling Geese", "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms" and "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun" are closely related to Hengyang.

Autumn is here, the weather is getting cooler, and the geese are migrating to the south in flocks. Crossing the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, when the wild geese soared over Nanchang, it resonated deeply with one person. This person is Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, whose courtesy name is Zhuangxian, and his name is Mr. Danqiu.

Zhu Quan followed the sing-along of the wild geese, went out quietly and went south quietly, all the way from Nanchang to Hengyang[2]. When the wild geese flew south over a small mountain near the middle reaches of the Xiangjiang River, they circled repeatedly and stopped moving forward. The geese feel that the environment is beautiful and the climate is warm, and they can't bear to fly south, so they choose to spend the winter here. "Wanli Hengyang geese usually come here." Therefore, this small mountain peak is called Huiyan Peak, and Hengyang is elegantly called "Yan City". Huiyan Peak is located in Yanfeng District, Hengyang City, and is the first of the seventy-two peaks of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. There is a beautiful Dongzhou Island on the side of the mountain. It looks like a giant ship. It floats in the rushing Xiangjiang River day and night. The green water is surging and sparkling. In autumn and winter, when the river recedes, the southern end of the island exposes a large flat sandy beach. When the weather is fine, the geese are always lined up and fly in the sky near Huiyan Peak. The geese were tired from flying, so they landed on the beach of Dongzhou Island to rest, a spectacle of geese falling on the flat sand.

Zhu Quan was completely immersed in this scene of falling geese in the flat sand, the spectacle of "the autumn is high and the air is cool, the wind is calm and the sand is flat, the clouds are thousands of miles away, and the sky is flying" and Zhu Quan's life of "a young genius, a great ambition, a heart like still water, and a retreat to the world" Collision and fusion repeatedly. Zhu Quan's scenes blended together, he stood holding the piano, and he couldn't help writing and writing, and his heart was surging. When he came back to his senses, a song "Pingsha Falling Wild Goose" had already been composed. Zhu Quan was so excited that he immediately played the piano. The score is elegant, euphemistic and smooth, meaningful and fresh. "Guyin Zhengzong" describes this song very well: "The rhythm of the whole body is usually three ups and downs. The first play is like a guest of swan geese. Also, look around and look around, circling in the sky; it is about to fall, and the sound is slanted and swept around the island three times; when it falls, one responds to each other, three or five groups, flying and squatting, getting what is suitable, mother and daughter Then the male and the female give way, and it can also be tasted.”

Regarding the author of "Pingsha Falling Wild Goose", there is also the theory of Chen Ziang in the Tang Dynasty and the theory of Mao Minzhong in the Song Dynasty. But no matter who made this song, it is inextricably linked with Hengyang.
