JIA: Why are you laughing at me?You know for sure what I hate most is those stereotyped articles which only fish for fame and compliments.You still mention these! LIN: Not those books, then what kind you mean? Don't fool me.Better let me have a look! JIA: My dear cousin, I don't mind showing it to you.But don't tell others anyway. LIN: What kind of book? JIA: It's really a masterpiece.You won't even care for eating once you start reading. LIN: Story of West Chamber? JIA: Hash,be quiet! What do you think? you would say it's fairly good,won't you? Mistress Lin, you are a girl laden with sorrow and maladies.You are the beauty that ruins cities and nations. LIN: Goddamn it!What a nonsense! You brought such licentious lyrics to make fun of me and insulted me by quoting those impudent lines. I'm going to tell uncle on you! JIA: Cousin Lin,I'm just reciting the lines that occurred to me.Forgive me once,my dear cousin.If I meant to insult you,I would fall into the pond tomorrow and swallowed by a scabby-headed tortoise. LIN: ZHANG Sheng in Story of West Chamber risked writing a letter to frighten the enemies away.While Yingying risked sending an eight-lined note to date with ZHANG Sheng in the dusk.The maid HONG Niang ralked the old Madam over with her eloquent speech.The monk Hui-Ming bravely killed five thousand enemies.I thought you were as brave as they are.You turn out to be nothing but a wax spearhead that looks like silver.

She is better than I in reading and writing and also has a gold locket to match your jade. JIA: You are talking about that again! We eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed. We were brought up together from childhood. She is newly arrived. How could I be less close to you because of her? LIN: Boo!Should I really want you to be less close to her? What sort will I be then? It's my feeling that counts. JIA: It's also my feeling that counts! You really know only your own feeling and neglect my feeling! Qiguan,an opera actor for princes, is a good friend of JIA Baoyu.He lived a hard life and JIA has great pity on him. QIguan: An opera actor is cheap as a slave, I have gone through harships both on stage and in real life.Tonight I'm fleeing to the east and never back to prince's palace again. JIA: What a pity my bosom friend is gone from me! Hope we can write letters and keep in touch with each other. |
 | Chinese Traditional Music-Sheng笙：天山的节日 笙是中国古老的吹奏乐器，它是世界上最早使用自由簧的乐器，并且对西洋乐器的发展曾经起过积极的推动作用。 1978年，中国湖北省随县曾侯乙墓出土了2400多年前的几支匏笙，这是中国目前发现的最早的笙。 The Chinese sheng (Chinese: 笙; Pinyinshēng) is a mouth-blown free reed instrument consisting essentially of vertical pipes, in the Chinese orchestra.The earliest sheng found was about 2400 years ago. It is thought that Johann Wilde and Pere Amiot traveled to China and brought the first shengs back to Europe in 1740 and 1777 respectively, although some believe shengs were known in Europe centuries earlier. However, it was only in the early 1800s that Amiot's sheng inspired the invention of the harmonica, accordion, and reed organ. Traditionally, the sheng has been used as an accompaniment instrument for solo suona or dizi performances, in kunqu and some other forms of Chinese opera, and in small ensembles. In the modern symphonic Chinese orchestra, it is used for both melody and accompaniment. Its warm mellow sound expresses lyrical melodies well, while its ability to play chords makes it a highly prized accompaniment instrument. The sheng has been used in the works of a few non-Chinese composers, including Lou Harrison, Tim Risher, Brad Catler, and Christopher Adler. Types Shengs are broadly classified into two categories: traditional sheng (传统笙; pinyin: chuántǒng shēng) and keyed sheng (键笙; jiàn shēng). Keyed shengs have only been developed in modern times, c. 1950 onwards. [edit]Traditional sheng Traditional sheng (传统笙, pinyinChuántǒng Shēng) The traditional sheng is the original type of sheng, which has seventeen, twenty-one, twenty-four or thirty pipes (depending on maker, model and regional culture). Uses treble clef when in western notation, but more often uses jianpu, Chinese numerical notation. The difference between a traditional and keyed sheng lies in its mechanism. On a traditional sheng, the holes on the pipes are pressed directly by the player's fingers. On a keyed sheng, the holes are opened and closed by means of keys or levers. Without keys, the great number of pipes and the size of the alto to bass instruments makes it impractical for operation by hand. Covering a hole causes the entire length of the pipe to resonate with the reeds' frequency. If the hole is open, the resonance frequency would not match, and hence no sound is produced. Keyed sheng Currently, there are four main ranges of keyed sheng, forming a family of soprano, alto, tenor and bass. All of them are chromatic throughout their range, and tuned to the equal temperament scale. Gaoyin sheng (高音笙, pinyinGāoyīn Shēng) 36-pipe sheng with a soprano range of G3 to F#6 (Taking middle C = C4). Uses treble clef Zhongyin sheng (中音笙, pinyinZhōngyīn Shēng) 36-pipe sheng with an alto range of C3 to B5. Perfect 5th lower than Gaoyin sheng. It has an additional row of 12 keys coloured in black, which when depressed plays all 3 pipes corresponding to the same note in different octaves. E.g., pressing the black "C" causes the notes C3, C4 and C5 to be sounded simultaneously. Uses treble and alto clefs. Cizhongyin sheng (次中音笙, pinyinCìzhōngyīn Shēng) 36-pipe sheng with a tenor range of G2 to F#5. One octave lower than soprano sheng. Uses alto clef, or treble clef transposed down an octave. Diyin sheng (低音笙, pinyinDīyīn Shēng) 32-pipe sheng with a bass range of C2 to G4. Uses bass clef. |
