[Xun] "Plum Blossom three lane" by the B station up the main Xun Wu Su core to play.

"Three Lanes of Plum Blossom" is one of the ten famous ancient Chinese songs, also known as "Plum Blossom Citation", "Jade Concubine Citation" and so on. It is the best performance of plum blossom in traditional Chinese art, and its musical score was first seen in the 1425 edition of the Magic Secret Score compiled by Zhu Quan in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been recorded in many musical scores in subsequent dynasties. Zhu Quan said in his magic secret score of "Plum Blossom three Lane" to solve the problem: "Xihuan Yi and Wang Ziyou heard the name but did not know, one day on the road, the cover of the car to discuss. Zi You said: Hearing the king is good at flute? Huan Yi made the flute as the three tunes of plum blossom, and later generations took the piano as the three tunes." "The Book of Jin · Biography Fifty-one" and "Shishuo Xinyu · Ren Shan twenty-three" contained almost the same problem as "Magic Secret Spectrum". It is speculated that it was originally a flute song of the Jin Dynasty. In the course of spreading, Plum Blossom Three Lane appeared extremely rich performance forms, such as guqin solo, guzheng solo, flute solo, folk music ensemble and chime bell and band performance.

According to the Magical Secret Score, there are ten paragraphs in the whole song of Three Lanes of Plum Blossom, and each has a paragraph title. I refer to multiple versions, and combined with the playing techniques and timbring-color characteristics of the xun, in the tenth section to retain the magic of the secret score of the "leap as the palace", while making a corresponding adaptation, and use the Su Xun wide range of F to play, for the spread of this ancient music added a new form of performance. Combining the records of "Magic Secret Score" and "Xilu Tang Qin Tong", the title of the ten paragraphs of the music is set:

The first section is "River mountain night moon"; Paragraph 2: "The sound of clouds"

The third paragraph "The sound of the sky"; Segment 4: "Sound Breaking Clouds"

The fifth paragraph "the moon turns to the West building"; Paragraph 6: "The Sound goes away"

The seventh section "Qingxiao Miscellaneous Pei"; Paragraph 8: "The Jade Flute sounds clear"

The ninth paragraph "The wind falls the plum blossom"; Section 10: "Mei Snow Fights for Spring"

The song consists of two parts and an epilogue. One to six paragraphs is the first part, which is a circular multi-paragraph form. The first piece is a loose piece, the rhythm is free. The thick sound of the xun came slowly out of the bass register, gradually rising. The melody is smooth, lyrical, and the atmosphere is solemn and cordial, as if people see a frost-moon night snow, grass and trees wither, several branches of plum blossom swaying in the wind, sending out a fragrance scene. The second paragraph, "the sound stops the clouds", is the first presentation of the theme of the music, and the beautiful melody is played lightly, like blossoming plum blossoms are in bud. This particular theme appears once again in variations of the fourth paragraph "sound breaking cloud" and the sixth paragraph "Sound dispersing cloud", thus forming the "three lanes". The tune of "three lanes" is basically the same, but the mood has changed significantly. The third and fifth paragraphs are interspersed parts, which serve as the foreshadowing and setting off of the theme, creating the vivid form of the plum blossom under different situations. From the initial bud to face the cold wind gradually open, and finally blossom into a forest. As if to show people a blossoming, a crystal clear plum blossom in the breeze, dancing in a vivid scene.

Paragraphs 7 to 9 are the second part. In sharp contrast to the first part, it creates another new image of plum blossom. The melody ups and downs, the rhythm is fast and vigorous, the melody is loud and smooth, it is sonorous and powerful, the mood is high and warm, shaping the plum blossom is not afraid of the cold frost, swaying in the wind, singing the character and integrity of the person like the plum Blossom!

The tenth section, "Meixue fighting for spring", is the end of the music. The melody retains the original mode of "taking leap as the palace", and naturally returns to the original key and the theme after a short adjustment. The tune returned to calm after a violent outburst. As if the plum blossom in the snow, the bursts of elegant fragrance distributed, and the flying snow slowly scattered around, together with the arrival of spring report.
