Chapter 515 Ganzhou
Ganzhou is a city with a long history, splendid culture, outstanding people, many wise men and prosperous commerce.
After lunch, Sun Shan and his companions met at the Ganjiang Wharf.
Everyone climbed up to the Eight Mirrors Platform and overlooked the magnificent scenery of the confluence of the two rivers: the Zhangshui River and the Gongshui River embraced each other affectionately, merged into one, and transformed into the mighty Ganjiang River, which continued to rush forward day and night, symbolizing Ganzhou's long history and culture and endless vitality.
Looking towards the Ganjiang River wharf: business is booming, boats are coming and going, and merchants are gathering. It is a lively scene.
Lu Yuming sighed and said: "Ganzhou is indeed picturesque, and the confluence of three rivers is extremely beautiful."
Such a beautiful scene instantly inspired everyone to write poetry, and everyone began to sing.
He Shujun held a folding fan, shook his head and chanted: "The Eight Mirrors Terrace is full of beautiful scenery, and the beauty of southern Jiangxi is reflected. Gongzhang and Heyuan Rivers meet, and the city and countryside of Qianyi are peaceful and quiet. The ten-mile wall retains ancient relics, and the thousand-year-old network management is unobstructed. There are many heroes among the Hakka people, and they are very hospitable to welcome guests and friends."
The city of Ganzhou represents half of the history of the Song Dynasty.
Ganzhou is the capital of Hakka people, and Hakka is the main dialect spoken there.
It is said that Ganzhou, known as the "Cradle of Hakka", is the true ancestor of the Hakka people in Guangdong.
After He Shujun finished singing, everyone applauded.
Brother Chen San then recited: "The dusk on the river bank is dim and the sky is clear. Only the sound of dripping water can be heard from the pavilion. The path is filled with the fragrance of flowers and people are moving. The sky is cloudy and the rain has stopped, and birds are flying. A pair of egrets fall from the sky, and thousands of masts and poles are crossing into the harbor. Thanks to Tao Yuanming's presence, I can comfort my feelings at leisure."
As soon as Brother Chen San finished singing, everyone immediately shouted "good".
Gui Ge'er and Sun Dingming, as the atmosphere group, clapped enthusiastically, but I don't know if anyone could understand them.
As for Sun Dali, he still stayed in the inn to look after the luggage.
Sun Dali said that as long as the person is there, the luggage is there; even if the person is not there, the luggage is still there.
Along the way, while others enjoyed the beautiful scenery, Sun Dali only had his eyes on the inn.
There seems to be no difference between traveling and not traveling.
Sun Shan asked the three of them to take turns guarding the luggage. Sun Dali shook his head and said that he was the oldest and didn't feel much after seeing the beautiful scenery outside. He was not like young people like Gui Ge'er who were curious about everything.
Sun Dali also said: Sunjia Village is yours and mine, but in the final analysis, it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and vitality, and you are in your prime, just like the vigorous sun. Hope rests on you.
So Sun Dali insisted on being the gatekeeper.
Many scholars were inspired by looking at the river and recited poems and sang songs one after another.
It was Sun Shan's turn to be dumbfounded.
Sun Shan was not good at poetry at all, let alone improvisation.
Fortunately, he was smart and knew that there would definitely be a segment called "reciting poems and composing couplets".
It is so hard for us to take a break, to have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and to find an opportunity to show off our poetry.
It must be full speed, and the whole high and low will be revealed.
Sun Shan was still very self-aware. He definitely would not write poetry anymore and would try his best not to write poetry outside for the rest of his life.
If Sun Shan didn't write poetry, no one would know his literary talent, but as soon as he wrote, everyone would definitely know his true qualities.
As a person, you should remain mysterious and never let others know your true intentions until the last moment.
Sun Shan cupped his hands, looking very confident, and said with a smile: "Everyone has already composed some excellent works, so I will do something special today and play a piece for you. Please listen and give me your comments."
Speaking of playing music, Gui Ge'er, who was just watching the fun, immediately stopped watching and stood up. He took out a must-have item for home and travel - the erhu - from the big package on his back.
Gui Ge'er happily handed the erhu to Sun Shan, and then immediately stepped aside, thinking that he would enjoy his brother Shan's erhu music later.
Everyone was stunned, looking at the erhu in Sun Shan's hand.
When did Mr. Sun bring his musical instrument?
If you want to bring musical instruments, just bring them. Why bring the erhu?
If you want to bring something, you should bring a yaoqin. If not, a jade flute and a long whistle will also be fine.
They have never seen anyone playing the erhu in a talent show.
And since everyone in their group was reciting poems and composing couplets, why did Mr. Sun think of playing the erhu?
And why didn’t they think of putting on a talent show?
They also understand music, chess, calligraphy and painting!
Everyone looked at Sun Shan strangely.
Sun Shan shamelessly smiled at the strange look of the scholar.
Anyway, I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
Lu Yuming was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Good!"
This shout scared everyone, including Sun Shan.
Everyone couldn't help but greet Mr. Lu from the bottom of their hearts: Mr. Lu, why are you so excited? If you are excited, don't be so loud.
People are scary and there is no medicine to cure them.
Lu Yuming played with the paper fan as if it were a brush, turning it again and again.
He said happily: "I have heard that Brother Sun plays the erhu very well, and today I am lucky enough to hear it. Seeing is believing, and today I will see Brother Sun's erhu. My former classmates all expressed amazement when talking about Brother Sun's erhu. It is said that the sound of Brother Sun's erhu is so amazing that it shakes the heavens and the earth, and it breaks the stone, and those who hear it are sad and cry."
Then he said to the first-level candidate, "Brother Sun has a nickname, Sun Erhu, which shows how good his Erhu skills are. Today we have a chance to see Brother Sun's style."
Sun Shan's face was filled with black lines. What kind of adjective did Lu Yuming use?
Although his erhu playing is good, it is not to this level, right?
People came and became interested.
He Shujun, who was not afraid of the height of the stage, said: "Ashan, please play a song for us. Today I want to hear the earth-shaking and shocking erhu music that Brother Lu mentioned."
Chen Mibo said encouragingly, "Brother Sun, please play a song for us. Haha, I want to listen to it too."
To be honest, no one has ever heard the scholar play the erhu, and everyone is very curious.
Not only the scholar was curious, but also the tourists on the observation deck.
A group of candidates dressed in bright clothes and with shining bodies and beautiful necks were attractive enough.
At first, when everyone heard the scholar reciting poems and composing couplets, they didn't quite understand what he was saying, but they couldn't help wanting to be influenced by the literary atmosphere and were reluctant to leave.
Now seeing that the scholar seemed to be about to perform a talent show, the passengers became even more interested and gathered in three circles inside and outside, waiting to watch the show.
At this moment, Sun Shan regretted taking out the erhu.
Although he knew that his erhu playing could attract attention, he didn't expect it to be too eye-catching.
This is unlike his low-key and introverted personality.
But now that things have come to this, I can only step forward and play a song.
He cupped his hands, and said in a gentle and elegant manner, "Everyone, I am sorry to present my ugliness to you, Sun."
Sun Shan sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and took out his erhu.
Today, looking at the surging Ganjiang River, we need to sing a piece of music that is majestic, wild, warm and cheerful.
So Sun Shan performed a song "Horse Racing" for everyone.
"Horse Racing" describes the galloping horses to depict the exciting scene of horse racing, and vividly expresses the vast beauty of the grassland and the joy of the herdsmen.
The melody is rough and unrestrained, high-pitched and passionate, which makes people's blood boil.
At this moment, I was at the Bajingtai, looking at the Zhangshui River and the Gongshui River merging into the Ganjiang River, and my mind felt more open than ever before.
