Jin Yong Twelve Hairpin and Musical Instruments

Here the twelve hairpin, is the Golden Book of twelve women of different styles, some are the main characters, some are supporting characters, the important thing is that all have a charm.

Huang Rong: flute
Lyrics: apricot blossoms in the shadow, blowing the flute until dawn
When the white clothes and gold rings, the delicate little Rong’er holding a flat boat appeared, not only Guo Jing bright, even the whole “The Legend of the Shooting Diao heroes” for the bright up. The “Shooting Eagles” Huang Rong seems to be a bamboo flute, playing the most cheerful and bright song of youth, her Grinch, her cautiousness, are a party of innocence.
I remember when I first saw “Shooting Eagles”, Rong’er was just young. Rong’s beauty, like the peach blossoms of Jiangnan, any ordinary and moving, not like the little dragon lady as cold, and not like the fragrant princess as untouched by the mortal world, Rong is the most vivid and fragrant interpretation of the earthly flowers. When reading “Shooting Eagles”, I just want to roam and play with such a naive and intelligent woman in the jungle, listening to her in the shadow of the apricot blossoms, playing the flute until dawn.
It is not written in the book that Huang Rong can know musical instruments, but there is a recipe for Rong’s famous dish called “jade flute who listens to the falling plum”.

Yi Lin: Sheng
Lyrics: small building blowing through the jade sheng cold
Ying Ying in the “laughing pride” has the name of the holy nun, in my eyes, deep in the god of the holy nun is the little nun Yi Lin, even in the eyes of the Ling Hu Chong, Yi Lin body is often shrouded in a layer of holy light. I think the most suitable instrument for Yi Lin, should be the sheng it. The origin of the sheng can be traced back to more than 3,000 years ago, Yi Lin to treat the fox a deep love, hidden but not hair, sad but not hurt, like the sheng song general classical ebullience.
The sound of the sheng is clear, elegant and soft, and it is the only instrument among traditional Chinese wind instruments that can produce harmonies. When playing with other instruments, it can play the role of harmonizing the sound of the orchestra and enriching the sound of the orchestra. This is how much like Yi Lin in the status of “laughing pride”, the love between Chong Ying is the main theme of the book, Yi Lin’s heart is only the harmony, and finally can not take over the main. But if this is missing a touch of soft harmony, this song “laughing pride” may be lost in a thin.
Jade pith blowing, resounding through the cold night, in the piano xiao harmonious love behind, there are many like Yi Lin such lonely woman alone sad? I love Yi Lin so much that I would like to replace the scene of “the small building blowing through the cold of the jade pith” with her and Ling Hu Chong “the tent is warm at the beginning, the incense of the beast is incessant, sitting opposite each other and blowing the pith”.

Lin Chaoying: Ocarina
Lyrics: The ocarina song should be played at the beginning of autumn, when the sorrowful feelings are obvious.
Lin Zhaoying, who lived to a ripe old age in the Tomb of the Living Dead, left Yang and Little Dragon Girl with the image of a forever young grandmother. Lin Chaoying’s life is just like the ancient musical instrument ocarina, whose name is only heard, but whose voice and smile are nowhere to be found.
In the Old Book of Tang – Music, it is written that the ocarina is the sound of autumn, the sunset yellow of all things, and is made of the soil of the theater. The tone of the ocarina is ethereal and low, remote and sorrowful, a reflection of Lin Zhaoying, who was alone in the ancient tomb, looking at herself with pity. During a trip to Phoenix, I heard the ocarina seller play it. The sound of the ocarina came from the ancient times thousands of years ago, like a complaint, like a sob, and it was unbearable to listen to.
“We all admire the ancient and mellow sound of ocarina from afar, but we only want to play it in the countryside. The magnificent Lin Chaoying, like the ocarina, was forgotten in the desolate land and never waited for the chi to harmonize with her in her life. I agree with Wu Wuling’s evaluation of her. Lin Chaoying started the Tomb School, and she is the grandmother of the Lonely School.

Yin Susu: Zheng
Lyrics: The mournful zheng “Xiangjiang River Song” is written with the sound of Xiangbo’s edge.
In “Leaning on Heaven”, my favorite is Susu, and it is no coincidence that my favorite Chinese musical instrument is zheng, the god of Susu, only the guzheng is poorly comparable.
The sound of the zheng should be one of the ancient Chinese musical instruments that combines all the strengths, including the smoothness of the flute, the sorrowfulness of the xiao, the clearness of the thur, and the elegance of the zither. The sound of the zheng is clear in one word: clear. When she first met with Cui Shan in the lake, Su Su sat alone with her knees on the bow of the boat, reflecting the green waves in the lake, cold water and lonely boat, cold and meditative, not like people in the world.
When they first met, Zhang Yin used the sound of zheng as the background, with a famous guzheng song “High Mountain Flowing Water”. When the two of them drifted to the island of ice and fire, they should be paired with a song called “The Fishing Boat Sings at Night” to help them harmonize with each other.
The clear sound of the zheng also carries a kind of faint grievance, “Mian savagely turns the tongue between flowers, whimpering exchange under the ice spring”. Su Su’s love, because of the difference between good and evil, is also covered with this kind of grievance. When Zhang Cui Shan took the blame for his suicide, it was the time when Susu’s strings were broken, the strings condensed finger sobbing sound stop, there is a deep love 10,000. A song of clear sound, here abruptly ended, but the aftermath of the sound makes people remember more.

Cheng Ying: xiao
Lyrics: The weary guest by the stream stopping the lanzhao, who is upstairs tasting the jade xiao?
When I think of Cheng Ying, apart from her unforgettable green shirt, it is the xiao that never leaves her body. It is said that people are like their poets, but in fact, people are not as good as their sounds. Compared with the guzheng, the sound of the xiao is even more sorrowful and lingering, its tone is clear and distant, with the rhythm of autumn water, with the Xiangfei sobbing bamboo of grievance. Cheng Ying’s sorrowful sound is played to Yang over, but unfortunately, Yang over is not her spiritual soulmate and soul mate.
A song “Qi Ao”, how much shyness has accumulated with who told the girl’s feelings. Cheng Ying is smart, know that forcing is not beneficial, so the gesture dash not to force. But as smart as she is, why can’t she bear to pay her youth to the lonely and empty pillow? I think, in the bright moon when no one, Cheng Ying also have to xiao sentiment, blowing “sorrowful sound full of grievances, the sound of quiet, I was bored boring”.
I just do not know whether Yang will also lament in the moonless night years later: “Where to teach the jade man blowjob! The first time I saw a woman, I was a little bit of a jerk. Jin Yong is really too cruel.
After Cheng Ying, there is a more paranoid and infatuated Cheng woman: Cheng Ling Su. The same is hopeless crush, Cheng Ling Su but into a poignant euphemism for the poignant, played a song to life on the sad song, this sad song when enough to dance in the ravine of the submerged auger, weeping lonely boat widow, people countenance moved.
How I hope that Er Cheng can find a real soulmate and play a colorful and colorful song “Good Night” together.

Chen Yuanyuan: Pipa
Lyrics: A thousand calls to come out, holding a pipa half hidden
Who is the most beautiful woman in “The Legend of Lu Ding”? The book has become a bitter and bitter nine difficulties, A Ke is still like a diamond uncut, really called a thousand charming beauty, no doubt should be Chen Yuanyuan. Chen Yuanyuan not much ink in the book, so to speak, only let the reader see her “half face”, but Jin Yong spent a great deal of effort to describe, painted the beauty of this stunning red.
Chen Yuanyuan is good at playing the pipa, and her life, like the music played by this resounding and moving instrument, has its ups and downs. If I had to choose an oriental instrument that could play the effect of a western symphony, I think it would be the pipa. In this regard, Bai Juyi’s “pipa line” has been described in place, both “between the warbler off the bottom of the flowers slippery, the throat of the spring flow under the ice difficult” of the beautiful, but also “the silver vase at the first break water pulp burst, the iron ride protruding swords and spears” of the magnificent, as round the very legendary life.
Since the ancient red-headed more thin life, Chen Yuanyuan should be classified as a woman of thin life division. But look at her playing the pipa to Xiaobao that paragraph, I think this woman has been cultivated in life to become immortal, open-minded and round, all unlike the pipa woman under Bai Juyi as “strings cover the sound of thoughts, it seems to say that life is not will.
In the book, Chen Xiaoyuan said Wei Xiaobao is her soulmate, although there are suspicions of pleasing, but also not without reason. These two people, both born in the grassroots, the greatest learning than the understanding of world affairs and understanding of human feelings, with a kind of generalized wisdom, and pipa this kind of dusty instrument is a temperament of the same. I really like the arrangement of the book on the end of the Yuan Yuan, even though Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui on her ultimately “only so”, at least there is a Hu Yizhi, so that the beauty in the late twilight is not too much self-harm.
Beautiful women, until death are stories.

Ren Ying Ying: Qin
Words: Silk and tung are combined into a zither, and there is a swift sound
The zither is the “right sound”, and the music of the zither is a symbol of Chinese orthodoxy and culture for thousands of years, reflecting the tranquility and silence of the Chinese heirloom. Ren Ying Ying, who was born with the style of a hermit, naturally can only use the qin as a metaphor. Sometimes it is presumptuous to speculate that the feelings of Ren Hu Chong for Ying Ying are not the same as the feelings of my generation of laymen for the guqin? The qin is a gentleman in music, but a gentleman who is serious and moral is difficult for people to like. I am not a big fan of the calm and ancient sound of the zither, but rather I am fascinated by the sound of the flute and the zheng.
Ying Ying is a person who can be moved to a poem by Bai Juyi for a comment: “Silk and tung together as a zither, there are ancient sounds. The ancient sound is light and tasteless, not called today’s human feelings. Jade emblem brilliance extinguished, vermilion string dust born. It has been abandoned for a long time, but the remaining sound is still cold. I would like to play it for you, but no one will listen to it. What makes it so? The Qiang flute and the Qin zheng.”
There is another line of poetry that seems to be more apt: “Tantalizing to the ears, tantalizing to the heart.” When he met Ying Ying, he was already physically and mentally exhausted and hurt inside. Watching the “laughing pride” to understand, the original music not only has a pleasant effect, but also can be used to complement the treatment, really good.

Yuan Ziyi: Thur
Lyrics: The golden serpent has no end of fifty strings, a string and a column thinking of Chinese years
When I was a child watching “The Flying Fox of Snow Mountain”, I saw Yuan Ziyi cut off her hair and became a nun round sex, Hu Fei watched her figure on horseback getting farther and farther away, while the song “Dream Chaser” rang out: look at me look at it, do not let the red face guard the empty pillow …… heart can not help but infinite frustration.
The first time I read the “Jinseer” by Li Shangyin, I realized that the song “Dream Chaser” seems to be a note of “Jinseer”. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. The sorrowful tone of the thur, is not Yuan Ziyi’s lonely life?
The zither is the right tone, but the thur is as if it is a supporting role in the instrument, as Yuan Ziyi in the “Flying Fox” in an awkward position, we give respect to Hu Fei, pity to Cheng Ling Su, Yuan Ziyi is usually ignored. We all complain Yuan Ziyi first took the initiative to give Yu Feng, and later ran to become a nun for no apparent reason, quite a suspicion of mischief, in fact, when you think about it, it is also forgivable. The first time I saw it, I couldn’t help it, but when I thought about it, I couldn’t tolerate the ritual, so I just turned away.
I don’t know if, years later, when I think of my teenage love affair, I’ll be moved by Li Yishan’s poem, which says: “This love can be remembered, but at that time I was already confused!

Huo Qingtong: Drum
Lyrics: Half-rolled red banner is facing the easy water, the frost is heavy and the drums are cold.
The zither, zheng, flute and xiao are the silk and bamboo of Jiangnan, just like the beauty of Jiangnan in the style of Su Su Cheng Ying, then Huo Qingtong, who galloped in the sands and was wise and resourceful, is like a percussion instrument: the drum. Drums are essential in the marching, very early by the Chinese ancestors as a military cheer. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor conquered Chi You in the battle of the deer, “the Yellow Emperor killed Kui, with its skin for the drum, the sound heard 500”.
Although Huo Qingtong, with her yellow coat, is not as graceful and graceful as a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, she is like a flower blooming in the desert, with a heroic spirit in her beauty and brilliance. Her life, because of the battle of the Blackwater River and shine, just like the battle drums of the two armies, not to sound is already, a sound amazing, enough to make thousands of men scared. Of course, Qingtong both with the atmosphere of the drum, and not without subtlety, but I can not think of a more appropriate analogy.
The heartbreaking thing is that Huo Qingtong planning, but it is when the lover and sister love each other, is not the workplace success, you must pay the price of disappointment in the love field? Imagine that day on the banks of the Blackwater River, the two armies facing each other, Qingtong’s state of mind, is not as Li He wrote “frost heavy drums cold sound does not rise”?

Zhou Qi: Suona
Lyrics: Horn, suona, small song, big voice.
Zhou Qi is also a female character, but the good thing is that “The Book and the Sword” is a group novel, and everyone’s parts are not far apart, so the character Zhou Qi left a deep impression on me. Speaking of Zhou Qi, it reminds me of a folk instrument that is popular among the common people, that is, the suona, also known as the horn.
In rural areas, whenever there is a wedding or wedding event, a small folk band will be invited, of which the most joyous and imposing instrument is the suona. The sound of the suona, which I remember, is loud and clear, harmonious and pleasing to the ear, very appropriate. Zhou Qi, a man known as “Pretty Li Kui”, is a full-fledged living treasure character, and his appearances always get a laugh from readers, which is very similar to the function of suona.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Pan’s “Chaotianzi. The best article describing suona is “Horn, suona which is a small song with a big cavity.” I use it here without the slightest intention to satirize Zhou Qi, but I just happen to think that she is a noisy and seemingly powerful person, but in fact she is a girl with a single mind, not much of a killer, a bit of a “small song, big cadence” style.
Zhou Qi and Xu Tianhong’s love story, the most common people like me, although the vulgar, but also vulgar to cheerful, like the suona, slightly too noisy, but very pleasing.

Xiao Zhao: Hu Jia
Lyrics: Hu Jia a song broken heart, look at each other’s hands like rain tears
Xiao Zhao is a rare hybrid in martial arts novels, and mixed with the Persian, it is rare. Zhaoge’s life, is a song “tears”, and Hu Jia this exotic and sad and moving musical instrument is quite compatible.
Legend has it that Cai Wenji created “Hu Jia 18 beats”, the music is euphemistic and sad, tearing the liver, Cai Wenji was taken by the Hu people to the borderlands, since then, Hu Jia and sorrow, longing for these words on the equal sign. I think the best poem about Hu Jia is Cen Shen’s: “You do not hear the sound of Hu Jia is the saddest, purple beard and green eyes of the Hu people blowing. Blowing a song is not yet finished, worry about killing the garrison children in Loulan. In the cool autumn of August, the north wind blew off the grass in the sky. The moon in the south of Kunlun Mountain is about to slant, and the Hu people blow Hu Jia to the moon. Hu reed will send you off, the Qin Mountains look far away Long Mountain clouds. The border city is full of sorrowful dreams at night, who likes to hear the whistle to the moon.”
Xiao Zhao was born in the constant farewell and be farewell, at a young age, she said goodbye to her mother purple-shirted Dragon King, bear the humiliation to serve Yang Yi father and daughter; when the first love met Zhang Wuji, the result had to wipe tears to say goodbye to her lover, to go to the labor of the holy maiden. If Cai Wenji is reborn, when and her sick sister Xiao Zhao play a song “Hu Jia 18 beats”, Hu Jia a song broken intestines, look at each other in tears like rain.

Little Dragon Girl: Khonghou
Lyrics: The song in front of the doklam house, Konghou drunken ballad.
It is said that this ancient instrument has been developed in Suzhou, but for the general public, it is still a song that should only be found in the sky and rarely heard on earth, just like the status of Little Dragon Girl in the martial arts world.
It is said that compared with the sound of the guzheng, the sound of konghou is more clear and ethereal, more distinctive, like the sound of a clear spring in the snowy mountains. This is in line with the image of Little Dragon Girl, who is as clean as ice and snow, and as cold as ice and snow. I think, Jin Yong set the background of the life of the little dragon girl in the tomb is very reasonable, want to maintain the image of untainted dust, you have to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
What kind of beautiful and moving sound can the ancient konghou make? People today are no longer lucky enough to listen to it, just as we argue whether Chen Yulian or Li Ruo Tong resembles Little Dragon Girl the most, but no one has the chance to see her true face, so we have to rely on the writers’ descriptions to recreate her voice or image. The sound of Konghou in Li He’s writing can keep Wu Qi awake and the old fish jumping to the waves, which is also very compatible with the beautiful image of Little Dragon Girl and her shocking behavior. Yang Long’s love, indeed, also deserves to be “stone broken sky teasing autumn rain”, but he teased him, I do not feel since.
