Which dynasty did Shi Kuang come from?

The classical Chinese translation of Shi Kuang Guqin is as follows:

When Wei Linggong was in office, he once went to the State of Jin, went to Pushui Valley and lived in a beautiful building. In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the sound of the violin. I asked the people who followed me, and they all replied, "I didn't hear you." So he called a musician named Juan and said to him, "I heard a fiddling sound." I asked the followers around me, and they all said they didn't hear me. It seems that there are ghosts and gods. Listen to me carefully and write down the music. " Shi Juan said, "OK."

So he sat down, took out the piano, listened to Wei Linggong's narrative, fiddled with it and recorded it casually. The next day, he said, "I wrote down every sentence, but I haven't rehearsed it yet, so it's difficult to compose music." Please allow me to stay for another night and get familiar with it a few times. " Gong Ling said, "Yes." So I stayed another night. The next day he said, "Practice is over." This just left for the state of Jin and met Jin Pinggong.

The public presented them with a wine feast on the platform of compassion. Wei Linggong said, "We came here this time and got a new tune. Please play for you to help you get drunk. " Fair and just: "Great." That is, Juan, a life teacher in the state of Jin, is sitting beside her, playing the piano with a piano. At the end of the song, Shi Kuang shook his sleeve and stopped saying, "This is the voice of national subjugation. Don't play it again. "

Gong Ping said, "Why do you say such things?" Shi Kuang said: "This is a piece of music written by Shi Yan, who created such a decadent voice for Zhou Wang. After the king of Wu cut the Zhou, he fled to the east and drowned himself. Therefore, this article must be written by the water god Pu, and the first thing I heard was that his country would decline. " Gong Ping said, "What I like is listening to music. I hope I can finish listening. " Only in this way can Shi Juan finish it.

Ping Gong Zheng: "This is the most touching music I have ever heard. Is there anything more touching? " Shi Kuang said, "Yes." Gong Ping said, "Can we listen?" Shi Kuang said, "You must cultivate profound morality to listen to this song. You can't listen yet. " Gong Ping said, "I only like listening to music. I wish I could hear it. "

Shi Kuang had to pick up the piano for the first time. For thousands of years, more than a dozen cranes have flown down the hall in front of the entrance. The second time, these cranes craned their necks, chirped, spread their wings and danced to the sound of the piano. Gong Ping was overjoyed and got up to propose a toast to Shi Kuang. Turning to sit down, he asked, "Is there nothing more touching?" Shi Kuang said, "Yes. In the past, the songs played by the Yellow Emperor when offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods were even more touching than this, but your sense of morality is too thin, and if you don't listen, you will be in great trouble. "

Gong Ping said: "I am so old, do I still care about my collapse?" I only like listening to music, and I hope to hear it. "Shi Kuang had no choice but to pick up the piano and play. Played again, white clouds appeared in the northwest sky; Play it again, the strong wind, with heavy rain, rushed to the sky and blew the corridor tiles directly, causing people around to run in panic. Gong Ping was scared and curled up in the corridor. After three years of drought in Jin, nothing grows.

Listen to music, or have good luck or bad luck. Music can't be played at will.

Shi Kuang, a native of Pingyang (now Nanshidian, Xintai, Shandong), was a famous musician in the pre-Qin period, and was called Le Sheng by the ancients. During the Spring and Autumn Period of the State of Jin, the Duke of Jin Taizai, a master of court music, a pioneer in ancient Tai Ji Chuan, an educator and a thinker first proposed that "the people are precious and the monarch is light". Because he is good at divination, he is regarded as the granddaddy of fortune tellers.

He was born blind (saying that he was blind and concentrated on practicing the piano), so he called himself a blind minister, first doctor Jin, then Taizai, also known as Lord Jin. He was knowledgeable and versatile, especially good at melody and piano, and had a strong ability to distinguish sounds. Shi Kuang, praised as "the wisdom of Shi Kuang" by later generations, is said to be able to hear the sounds of nature and master the language of birds and animals. When he plays the piano, he can make the phoenix come to the front of the musical instrument, which is the prototype of the fairy tale.

His artistic attainments are extremely high. His famous piano music Yangchun and Snow White are his works, and many bizarre stories about Shi Kuang playing music are attached to folk music. Today, Yuwangtai in Kaifeng, Henan Province is an ancient blowtorch where Shi Kuang once played music. Shi Cun in Quting Town, Hongtong County has Shi Kuang's tomb. Shi Kuang not only made outstanding contributions to music, politics and Taoism, but also wrote Bird Book, which summarized China's understanding of birds in the pre-Qin period.
