A stroke of genius, the suona comes out
Flute techniques are divided into Southern and Northern schools.
The Northern school primarily uses techniques like tonguing, flutter-tonguing, glissando, and chopping.
The Southern school commonly uses techniques such as vibrato, hitting, stacking, and shaking.
Furthermore, through the continuous practice of numerous performers, many new techniques were created later on.
Circular breathing, circular tonguing, bending notes, overblowing, roaring, flying fingers, major seventh bending...
North Dust and his Master MiyaI Ichiro are both members of the national team, so their flute technique is naturally impeccable, blending the techniques and advantages of both the Southern and Northern schools.
However, this piece leans more towards Southern school techniques.
The flute sound was clear and mellow, long and winding, gathering the ancient dragon energy into mountains, rivers, and streams, standing tall between heaven and earth.
If you listen closely, the flute played the scenery of Jiangnan, that kind of beauty leaping out.
Because they were performing the third movement - Jiangnan!
Allowing the mind to break free from the prosperous Chang'an city, and instead letting the mountains and waters of Jiangnan enter the audience's view.
Mountain villages, lakeside courtyards, white walls and black tiles, small bridges over flowing water.
A woman in ancient green attire stood at the bow of a boat, drifting down the river.
Experiencing this historically wealthy land, where romantic scholars were renowned.
A beauty drifts in a light boat on the water, the mirror-like bright lake a deep green.
Humans and nature reflected each other, and the flute sound combined with the enthusiastic folk customs of the Jiangnan water towns, surprisingly without any discord.
The scene before their eyes seemed to flow down with the stream, slowly blurring unintentionally, gradually drifting away...
Unbeknownst to anyone, the Satar joined in again at some point.
The Satar, Guzheng, drums, and flute - these four instruments finally began to play together.
The most prevalent feeling among the people was anticipation.
The scene before their eyes was no longer the scenery of a certain region, but instead transformed into the vast rivers and mountains of the entire Great Xia.
The common people lived in peace and worked happily, officials were down-to-earth, and the Son of Heaven governed diligently - what a scene of a prosperous era!
They had thought this was the peak of the piece, but never expected the sound of the suona to burst forth.
Its sound was extremely penetrating!
Instantly, the entire music rushed from the audience's ears into their brains.
The audience below the stage could no longer remain calm:
[Oh my god, it's it, it's here again, this instrument from Great Xia is truly magical!]
[The ensemble of the four instruments was already so powerful, who knew that when the suona sound came out, it could still suppress everything.]
[Great Xia is truly a magical country, once again letting me experience that besides piano and violin ensembles, there is such wonderful music.]
Roge had thought that once the battle song came out, it was a sure win!
However, with the addition of Nan Ye and Dai Tianchuan, that feeling of "sure win" was slowly dissipating.
Damn it, who was it who said that Great Xia's music level was twenty years behind the world?
Damn it, damn it, I must beat this slanderer to death.
And then pull him out of the coffin and repeatedly whip the corpse.
What kind of intelligence are they spreading blindly!
Don't they know that spreading rumors only takes a mouth, but refuting them breaks legs running!
I'll have to see if you can be even more explosive later...
Ono Kazuo's anus tightened.
This piece...
It's a bit amazing, a bit invincible!
Great Xia actually produced such grand and magnificent national style music again?
It makes no sense, absolutely no sense!
Didn't they lose all their ancient music scores?
Why can such terrifying works still appear?
Could it be that Great Xia recently dug up the tomb of some ancient musician?
And pulled out quite a few ancient music scores from inside?
Damn it, not even a single piece of news got out.
No, after this exchange event ends, I must go and investigate the situation in Great Xia...
...
However, this was just the beginning!
The screen behind the band flashed at this moment.
Frame after frame flashed by.
That was the scenery of Great Xia's land!
That was Great Xia's five thousand years of history!
Xia: From myth to history, the dawn of human civilization.
Shang: The emergence and flourishing of writing and bronze culture. With military conquests and cultural influence, the territory of the Central Plains dynasty appeared.
Zhou: Under the vast sky, there is no land that is not the King's territory; among the people of the land, none are not the King's subjects.
Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods: A hundred schools of thought, a hundred flowers blooming, a hundred schools contending, a brilliant constellation of stars.
Qin: Valiant old Qin went together to face national crisis, blood would not cease flowing until death ended the war. The six states were swept away, and an emperor for all eternity emerged!
Han: Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever rivers reach, all is Han land. Those who dare to offend the mighty Han shall be punished, no matter how far!
Three Kingdoms: The situation was treacherous, the struggle for power began, the great waves washed away the sand, echoing through past and present. The feudal lords warred incessantly, yet external wars remained strong, with almost no defeats.
Jin: Clearing up thousands of miles, bringing together the eight directions.
Sui: As for the Hu barbarians from the four directions, any who dare to offend shall have their nation destroyed, their race exterminated, and their descendants cut off.
Tang: Both domestic and foreign barbarians who dare to raise troops shall all be beheaded!
Song: With lofty aspirations, hungry for the flesh of the Hu barbarians, laughing and talking, thirsty for the blood of the Xiongnu. Wait until the time comes, to reclaim the old mountains and rivers, and face the heavenly palace.
Yuan: North beyond the Yin Mountains, west to the Quick Sands, east to the left of Liao, south across the seas.
Ming: No peace through marriage, no annual tribute, no cession of land, no reparations. The Son of Heaven guards the national gate, the gentlemen die for the state.
Early Qing: Suppressing the Revolt of the Three Feudatories, distant campaign to Ryukyu, ten great military achievements!
Republic of China: An inch of mountain and river is an inch of blood, ten thousand youths are ten thousand soldiers.
New Great Xia: It doesn't matter if you come one by one or seventeen at once, after 1949, I haven't lost again.
...
This is the fourth movement of this piece - Nine Provinces!
It's not just the Nine Provinces of Great Xia, but also Great Xia's five thousand years of history!
[The moment the suona came out felt truly inspired... it was really added too well.]
[As expected of a hooligan instrument, the dominance of the suona solo is simply unmatched!]
[The moment the suona came out, I knew this piece was incredibly stable! For national style music to be fiery, you still have to look at the suona!]
[Damn it, it's burning, my Great Xia blood is completely ignited. Those foreigners probably don't feel this way...]
[Over thousands of years, we have encountered many opponents. What remains unchanged is that we are still at the card table, but the opponents have changed many times.]
[Began in Xia, fierce in Shang, ritualistic in Zhou, dominant in Qin, strong in Han, chaotic in Jin, mighty in Sui, prosperous in Tang, wealthy in Song, full in Yuan, resolute in Ming, declined in Qing, revived in Great Xia!]
[I remember a sentence I once read, "The page you lightly turned in the history book was their magnificent and epic life."]
[...]
As the piece continued to be performed, it could be seen that each wave was higher than the last, and there was always a mountain beyond a mountain.
Ten thousand horses galloping, Nine Provinces resonating together, unstoppable, pushed to the very peak.
Arrived at the final movement of the song - Great Harmony under Heaven.
That's right!
Even if foreigners didn't understand Great Xia's history.
Didn't understand the burning of inherited bloodlines.
Didn't understand that kind of national pride.
But they could all hear the power brought by this song, and none were not shaken by it.
That was the Four Seas and Nine Provinces, completely unified, a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute.
That was a colossal dragon soaring into the sky!
Just like this instrument exchange conference, unstoppable!
They had forgotten everything, their ears filled only with the melody of ""jiuzhou tong"".
They even carried a kind of anticipation.
Hoping this piece could be a little longer, just a little longer.
What a pity!
This piece was only 3 minutes and 15 seconds long!
It stopped abruptly at the climax, the lingering sound circling the beams, lasting for three days!
Following the performance, everyone's bow caused a tsunami of applause to erupt in the venue once again.
This!
Was absolutely a feast for the ears!
And after it ended, a passage of text also appeared on the screen:
I know that when I die, all affairs will cease,
But I grieve that I have not seen the Nine Provinces united.
When the King's army finally pacifies the Central Plains,
Do not forget to tell your father at the family sacrifice.
Mr. Lu You, we can tell you this good news today.
Great Xia has long since recovered the Central Plains!
