The earliest surviving collection of guqin music scores - "Magical Secret Scores" compiled by Zhu Quan, King of Ning
Zhu Quan (1378 1448), the 17th son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the younger brother of Zhu Di of Ming Chengzu, was enshrined in Daning and called King Ningxian. Yongle changed the title of Nanchang, called himself Zhenxian, also known as Da Ming Qishi, Han Xuzi, Mr. Danqiu, etc. I love ** in my life, especially good at playing the piano. "Magical Secret Score" is Zhu Quan's 34 piano songs that he is good at playing and the piano songs that he ordered his piano students Li Jizhi, Jiang Yizhi, Jiang Kangzhi, He Mianzhi, Xu Muzhi and others to learn from famous teachers, as well as 16 ancient scores of the Tang and Song dynasties obtained from various searches, which were collected into a book in 12 years and engraved and published in the first year of Hongxi (1425).
The Magical Secret Spectrum was "repeatedly corrected, and the intention was not a day", which lasted for 12 years. The book is divided into three volumes, the first, the middle and the second, with a total of 62 qin songs. The first volume contains 16 songs, which are "the secrets that were not passed on by the people of the past", called "Ancient Gods". The repertoire includes, Guangling San, Flowing Water, Yangchun, Wine Mania, etc., most of which are famous songs before the Northern Song Dynasty, retaining the original style of the early score. Because these ancient songs have not been played for a long time, the score is ancient, and there are basically no sentences.
The middle and second volumes of "Xia Wai Shen Pin" collected 34 songs. "Xia" originated from the Song Dynasty Zhejiang Cao's "Zixia Cave Qin Score", and "Xia Wai Shen Pin" followed the name of the Yuan Dynasty's "Xia Wai Score Qin". Take the meaning of spiritual connection. There are many detailed solutions to each song, which provides important historical materials for the evolution of the origin and content of the qin song, and it is mostly used in the solution of the qin song in later generations. It is said that the 34 songs in this volume are Zhu Quan's "34 Songs of the Recipients", including "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms", "Forgetting the Machine", "Guanghan Autumn", "Heavenly Wind Huanpei", "iQue Liuhe", "Changqing", "Short Qing", "White Snow", "Crane Singing Jiugao", "Yilan", "Liezi Yufeng", "Mountain Dwelling Yin", "Qiao Song", "Pheasant Chaofei", "Crying in the Dark Night", "Longshuo Cao", "Big Beard", "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", "Lisao", "Shenhua Yin", "Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly", "Qiu Hong" and other books, all of which are ancient works with a long history. Among them, "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" and "Qiao Song" are the works of famous artists of the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhejiang School.
This score is of great significance for the study of the art of qin music in the Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, especially the qin music works of the Zhejiang school of qin artists in the late Song Dynasty. Among them, songs such as "Guangling San" have an irreplaceable function for exploring the flow of Qingle in the Han and Wei dynasties.
All the piano pieces of "Magical Secret Score" have solved problems, and have become an important document for the study of ancient works. The editor's attitude towards the study of "The Secret Spectrum of Magic" is rigorous, but due to historical limitations, although he claims that "there is nothing hidden in his word and every picture", he still treats "those who are vulgar in their name are more in the way of the light piano". The "vulgar" he refers to is likely to be the title of the song that truly reflects the original appearance of the folk biography. After his "more", he can only conceal the connection between qin music and folk **, which makes it more difficult for later generations to accurately understand these ** works. However, "The Secret Spectrum" opposes the imposition of uniformity and advocates respecting the different characteristics of each family and faction. The author believes that "there are different people in the gymnastics, and the ambitions of the Gaida people", "each has its own way, so there are many differences, so if they are the same, they will be despised!".It is based on this idea that although many of the genealogies in the "Magical Secret Spectrum" originate from Xumen, Zhejiang, they do not emphasize the "true biography of Xumen" as later generations. It is undoubtedly right to allow different styles to coexist in art.
There are two extant versions of this spectrum: one is the Ming Jiajing Wang Liang copy, and the other is the Ming Wanli copy in the Shanghai Library. Both copies have been handed down, the former of which was found in the first volume of the 1963 edition of "The Collection of Qin Songs".The latter is found in the first volume of the new edition of "Qin Music Collection" and the single book photocopied by ** Publishing House.
I don't know if this Guanglingsan is the other Guanglingsan?
