Chu is a country of good music and has always been famous for its Qiang flute.
But if we say the best flute player in Chu State, it must be Mrs. Si from Prince Rong's Mansion. ?
When Chu and Yue were at war, Mrs. Si, the daughter of the prime minister, ignored her family's obstruction and decided to play the flute to encourage the soldiers. ? She first played the song "Song of the Great Wind" before going into battle. The sound of the flute was magnificent and shocking. No one expected that a weak woman could play such a majestic flute sound. The soldiers all tried their best to compete with the Yue people. Unfortunately, the Chu State at that time was not the overlord of Dongge after all. After several months of continuous fighting, they were defeated.
On the way home, Mrs. Si played another song "Salt River Tears". The sound of the flute was mournful and tragic, as if to soothe the souls of the deceased. Mrs. Si shed tears, and all the soldiers shed tears. ?
There are three types of Chu flutes, the Mo flute, the pattern flute and the Phoenix flute. The first two are slender and short, and the other are slender. The phoenix flute is thick and long, and because the phoenix bamboo used to make the flute grows in Jiuling Mountain and is exposed to smoke all year round, the music played by the phoenix flute is also rich and natural.
The flute used by Mrs. Si was the Phoenix Flute, and the Phoenix Flute was a birthday gift from his brother Ju Yuyao, so she cherished it very much.
? It is said that Mrs. Si only played three pieces of music after getting the Phoenix Flute. The first two songs were used during the Battle of Chu and Yue, and the last song was indeed played on her wedding day. ? And what was played was "Guangling San" composed by Ji Kang before he served his sentence.
? Sighing sadly, who can understand the meaning of this strange woman? ?
