The Wei-Jin period was a period of great cultural and ideological prosperity, a period full of legends and individuality, and at the same time, a period of turbulence. It was during this period that many high-ranking scholars appeared, and the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest" was one of the representatives. "Seven Sages in Bamboo Forest" has left many excellent works and stories full of legends for later generations.

The qin piece "Drinking Crazy" was written by Ruan Ji, a famous scholar of Wei and Jin Dynasties. Ruan Ji, courtesy name Sizong. Chen Liuwei (now Kaifeng, Henan Province) people. A famous poet and qin player in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the son of Ruan Yu in the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", he was an infantry captain, known as "Ruan Infantry" and one of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest". He is erudite and knowledgeable, he is still learning from Lao Zhuang, he loves drinking, he is good at playing the qin, and he is outstanding in literature. There are mainly more than 80 poems "Yong Huai", "Da Zhuang Lun", "Ruan Infantry Collection" and other works, and the qin song "Wine Crazy" handed down.

Ruan Ji, Ji Kang and others often lived in the mountains and forests, far away from the world, forgetting their feelings in the mountains and rivers. He was deeply dissatisfied with the darkness of Sima's dictatorship. At that time, "Emperor Wen of Jin wanted to propose marriage to Emperor Wu, but Ji was drunk for 60 days and couldn't stop talking." Ruan Ji once sighed that "the way does not work, it is not in line with the times", so he entrusted himself with poetry and wine to protect himself and express his thoughts. The qin song "Drinking Crazy" came out under such a predestined relationship.

"Drunk Crazy" is intended to use alcohol to express one's inner thoughts. It is not really addicted to alcohol, but is actually drunk and awake, and pretends to be crazy with alcohol. The song "Drunk Crazy" is about three minutes long. The rhythm is clear, the ups and downs are jumping, and it is full of changes, giving people a drunken state of being addicted to alcohol. "Awakening from drunkenness" is the core content of "Drunk Crazy", and the handling of "awakening from drunkenness" is the measure that this song needs to grasp. Its melody originally jumped and fluctuated, with a certain degree of instability. If you ask for ups and downs in such an unstable situation, it will become madness, not Ruan Ji's feigning madness. Therefore, the teacher especially emphasized that when playing this piece, the bottom finger is firm and the sound is clear, which is the top priority. Seeing ups and downs in smoothness, implicit sobriety in ups and downs, and embodying the meaning of drunkenness and awakening in the ups and downs and solid balance are the key to this piece.

The understanding and emphasis on "drunk" and "wake up" are different in different schools. There are those who pretend to be crazy about drinking with a lively and hearty rhythm; there are also those who have a slow rhythm to express drunkenness, and so on, each with its own characteristics. The more lively rhythm version of "Drinker Maniac" is generally not easy to learn as an introductory qin piece due to the need to have a certain foundation for the control of rhythm and fingering. As for Mr. Gong Yi's version of "Drinking Crazy", the rhythm is slow and steady, and it can also be used as an introductory piece to learn.

"Drinking Crazy" is one of the most popular qin tunes. The existing qin tunes are rich in audio and video materials, including masters Mani Tianhong, Yao Bingyan, Yao Gongjing, Wu Jinglue, Liu Shaochun, Zhang Ziqian, Cheng Gongliang, Gong Yi, Xu Lisun, Chen Leiji , Zhang Zisheng, Tang Shizhang and other qin masters "Drinking Crazy" recording materials.

As far as personal preference is concerned, among them, Mr. Yao Bingyan's drunkenness is feigned. Mr. Zhang Ziqian was bright and hearty. Mr. Liu Shaochun was also drunk and awake. The teacher, Mr. Mani Tianhong, is upright and smooth, and his appearance is drunk and awake. All are my favorites.

"Xing Xin Qin Score" wine crazy problem solution: written by Ruan Ji in the Western Jin Dynasty. Ji sighed that it could not be done, and it was not in line with the time, so he forgot the world outside his body, and took pleasure in wine. The drunkenness of his "Drinkmaniac" is not really addicted to alcohol, and it is the evil trend of being a bartender and not joining the world. Shaped drunk and awake.

The postscript to "Xing Xin Qin Pu": The score of "Drinking Crazy", the first in the modern piano world comes from Mr. Yao Bingyan. Its version is more lively, and it is very good in the hearty and maddening. Mr. Liu Shaochun also played notation. Its version is also excellent. Tianhong's "Drunk Crazy" was written at the beginning of the 21st century. It focuses on the turbulent ups and downs and the intoxication and wakefulness. It takes a medium speed and tends to be bright, and sees ups and downs in the solid, and stable in the ups and downs.

Later, when I was in Ya concentration, I heard that Jin Wei's younger brother shot "Drunk Crazy", the speed was extremely slow, and he felt awake, and was very puzzled. After consultation, I learned that the version was made for Mr. Gong Yi. So I listened to Mr. Gong Yi's "Drunk Crazy" repeatedly, thinking that he was working hard on being drunk, and that he was really drunk, which was the demeanor of a family. Later, I heard Mr. Tang Shizhang from the United States play "Drinking Crazy", and his version is also very characteristic.

Gu's "Drunk Crazy" all have their own characteristics, but the treatment of "drunk" and "wake up" is quite different. And when you wake up from drunkenness, this is the true interest of "Drunk Crazy".
