我们将用英语向大家介绍一些中国的历史、文化和风土人情,今天推出高英老师介绍的《古筝》。作为民族音乐的瑰宝,古筝是中国独特的、重要的民族乐器之一,爱上古筝,就是爱上了生活。
古筝的由来
As we all know, China has a splendid culture of fork music.
Today, I will introduce a traditional Chinese musical instrument to you——Guzheng.
众所周知,中国有着辉煌灿烂的民乐文化。今天,我将为大家介绍中国传统乐器之一的古筝。
It was invented about more than 2,000 years ago. With such a long history, so it is called “Guzheng”.
它被发明于两千多年前,由于历史悠久,人们称之为“古筝”。
The early types of guzheng emerged from Qin during the Warring States Period, therefore its oldest name was “Qinzheng”.
最早的古筝来源于战国时期的秦国(今陕西一带),因此,它最古老的名字是“秦筝”,故素有“真秦之声”、“秦筝”之称。
古筝的流传
Since Qin dynasty, Guzheng has gradually spread out across the country, combined with some folk music, and brings diverse musical genres and styles.
自秦代以来,古筝逐渐传播到全国各地,与一些民间音乐相结合,并形成了不同的音乐流派与风格。
古筝技巧
Traditional zheng has a five-note scale, with its musical range of reaching four octaves. It has altogether 21 strings.
传统筝是传统的五声音阶定弦,音域跨越四个八度。古筝共有21根弦。
There are many techniques used in the playing of Guzheng, which can create sounds that can awoke the sense of a waterfall, thunder, and even the scenic countryside.
人们弹奏古筝会运用多种多样的技巧,进而弹奏出一些声音会使人们联想起瀑布、惊雷甚至是美丽的乡村。
古筝的代表曲目
The most famous pieces for the instrument include Yu Zhou Chang Wan, Gao Shan Liu Shui.
最著名的古筝代表曲目有:
1、渔舟唱晚
《渔舟唱晚》是传统的古筝独奏名曲。曲名取自唐朝诗人王勃的名篇《滕玉阁序》中的佳名:“渔舟唱晚,响穷彭蠡之滨。”
2、高山流水
《高山流水》是一首绘景写意的作品,取中国古代著名的音乐故事“伯牙摔琴谢知音”为题材,表现一种“巍巍乎若高山,洋洋乎若江海”的境界。
小结
Later, Guzheng has been introduced to other countries like North Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam and Myanmar. Since 1840, it has been spread out to South Asia,including Singapore,Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries as people from Guangdong and Fujian went there. And Guzheng has emerged as national instrument when mixed with local music. It has become increasingly popular with a wide range of beautiful sounds.
后来,古筝又开始走出了国门。它先后传入朝鲜、日本、蒙古、越南、缅甸等国。1840年后,随着广州福建同胞下南洋,又将古筝艺术传入了新加坡、马来西亚、印度尼西亚等国。它与当地的生活和音乐融合后又成为了具有这个国家特色的民族乐器。
如今,古筝因为音色优美、音域宽广,深受广大人民群众的喜爱。
