This article takes "Spring River, Flowers and Moonlight Night" as an example to explain the appreciation method as follows:

(1) Origin of music

"Spring River, Flowers and Moonlight Night" is a famous pipa solo, formerly called "Xiao Drum in the Sunset", found in the 1875 manuscript of the late pipa player Wu Wanqing. In 1895, Li Fangguo, a pipa performer of the Pinghu School, was renamed "Xunyang Pipa" in the "Thirteen Sets of Pipa New Scores of the North-South School" (Gongchi Score Version) compiled by the pipa performer of the Pinghu School. The subsections are marked with the sunset drum, the stamen cloth and the wind, Guanshan facing the moon, the setting sun on the mountain, the autumn sound of the maple dill, the dry search of the Wuxia, the sound of the mangrove, the night view of the river, the singing of the fishing boat, and the shadow of the sunset. Guizhou and other ten subtitles with gorgeous words. Later, someone changed the title of the song to "Xunyang Moonlight Night" and "Xunyang Song".

The music is based on the poetic meaning of the long narrative poem "Pipa Xing" by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi: "Seeking the Yangjiang River to see off guests at night, and maple leaves and reed flowers in autumn". Although the title is similar to the verse in "Pipa Xing": "The spring river flowers toward the autumn moonlit night, and they are often sprinkled and left alone". However, the music's taste has gone beyond the "Maple Leaf and Reed Flowers in Autumn", and emphasized the beauty of the "Spring River, Flowers and Moonlight Night".

(2) Poetic interest

The melody of "Spring River, Flowers and Moon Night" is mostly elegant, brisk, delicate and smooth, and has the characteristics of continuous ups and downs and gradual progress.

The whole piece is composed of an introduction, a theme passage, eight variations of the theme and an epilogue. It is a unique variation piece. This type of music is based on a musical theme section, and other sections are changed using various variations, which enriches the musical expression and promotes the development of music. This technique is good at delicate and profoundly revealing the theme of the music and shaping the image of the music from different artistic conceptions and angles. Through the beautiful and simple lyrical melody, the smooth and varied rhythm, and the colorful variety of playing techniques, the music is like a moving long scroll landscape painting, which appropriately expresses the poetic sentiment of the music. The following is a brief introduction to some of the music in the song:

The introduction part, the first section of the song, Jianglou Bell and Drum, is the introduction and the theme display part. It starts with the crisp and bright guzheng rolling finger tetto, and the image of the simulated drum sounds from slow to fast. Then, the theme of music with Jiangnan style is introduced, which is lyrical, beautiful, and euphemistic. The big drum at the end of the sentence plays the sound and shape, depicting the moving scene of the sunset, boating on the river, and the sound of drums and drums. Immediately after the music enters the theme, a "joint and end" style variation is performed, that is, the variation part is concentrated in the first half of each section, while the second half is basically the same, that is, the former changes and the latter is the same, so there are changes and contrasts, and there are repetitions. Unify and continuously promote the development of music a few years ago.

(3) Transplantation of zheng songs

The transplantation of the guzheng solo piece "Spring River, Flowers and Moon Night" is based on the pipa solo piece "Sunset Shaugu". It starts with the tune and concentrates on the principle of refining it. On the basis of inheriting and carrying forward the traditional techniques of the guzheng, it pays attention to the contrast and changes of sound quality, timbre, strength, speed, etc., and at the same time, it better describes and arranges the guzheng's holding, breaking, wiping, picking, connecting heavy holding, and size. The irreplaceable artistic features such as hooking, finger wrapping, rolling, whisking, plucking, shaking, pinch, pressing, pressing, sliding, chant, point, empty, walking, weak, sound, damping, "flowing water", etc. The techniques can be subtly cooperated with each other and can be carried on freely, providing the performers with the plasticity to exert their artistic talents, adding color to the music and enriching the expressiveness. In the progress of the tune, the display of various skills often forms a contrast in rhythm, such as "you simplify my complex", I simplify your complex" and a higher and deeper "from simple to complex, The development of artistic taste of complex and simple, and the essence of simplicity" sounds "slow and unbroken, tight and arrogant. "To make the meaning clean and neat, "there is absolutely no guest sound" (turbid and clear), the contrast is smooth and changeable (slippery, odd); the rhythm is "hurried but not chaotic, slow and continuous" (ji, Xu); "Golden stone", "light but not floating" (brittle, light), strive for a round, smooth, sweet, and crisp melody, the strings must be matched, the fingers must be sharp, and the sound should be selected according to the song, and the playing point should be selected. The strength of the middle, clear the requirements of light, loose, crisp, smooth, high, clean, clear, empty, quiet, strange, ancient, light, moderate, harmonious, fast, and Xu, and pay attention to the noble and beautiful. Knowing its ingenuity (thinking it sounds good), practicing it is very interesting, (understanding its intention), and forgetting it is the sound of the guzheng, (turning it into the reproduction of one's own emotions).
