In the afternoon, Li Li finished handling government affairs and brought some sound instruments to explain to Xiao Miaoqing and Zhang Lihua the current "entertainment trend".

"How to imitate the frog's call? One of the methods is verb skills, that is, people use imitation of the frog's call to imitate the frog's call."

Li Li said as he took out a bamboo tube: "This is a frog croaker, a small instrument that can make the frog cry."

Xiao Miaoqing and Zhang Lihua looked carefully and saw that one end of the bamboo tube was opened, with circles of deep grooves engraved outside the tube, like threads.

The bamboo tube also opened a longitudinal slit.

Li Li held the bamboo tube in his left hand and a pointed stick in his right hand and scraped the thread of the bamboo tube, which sounded the frog cry of "quacking, quacking, quacking, scrambling).

"Oh, this way you can imitate the frog's cry." Zhang Lihua was quite surprised. She took the "frog croaker tube" from Li Li, tried it a few times, and found that the effect was good.

Li Li took out another long paper tube and held it in his hand, keeping it level so that the two pregnant women could listen carefully.

He slowly tilted the paper tube, and only the sound of drizzle sounded.

The source of the sound is of course the paper tube in the hand, not outdoors.

He restored the paper tube to level, then tilted it quickly, and the rapid sound of rain immediately rang out.

Li Li handed the long tube to Xiao Miaoqing: "This is a rain sound tube, which simulates the sound of rain, which is very realistic."

Xiao Miaoqing tried it and found that the instrument was very convenient to simulate the sound of rain. She was excited: "There are many small beads inside?"

Li Li nodded: "Yes, in addition to this, there are many partitions with holes, one by one, like bamboo joints. After the paper tube is tilted, the small beads constantly collided with each other, and then the partitions are constantly collided with each other, forming a sound of rain."

"Of course, there is another structure, which is to insert a large number of iron nails into the paper tube to replace the partition. After tilting, the small beads hit the iron nails, which can also make a crisp and pleasant sound of rain."

Li Li then took out a disc, like a flat drum, and after the flat end was placed on his hand, it was tilted appropriately, so the sound of waves was made in the disc.

Before the two asked questions, he explained directly: "This is a water wave drum, which simulates the sound of waves. In order to be different from the name of the rattle drum, it is called a water wave instead of a wave."

"In fact, it's just a disk with a large number of tiny beads inside. The beads rub against each other when they roll, and the sound they make when they hit the drum wall is like a wave."

He took out another pair of gourds, held the slender neck of the gourd, and kept shaking, making a "cracking" sound.

"This is a sand hammer. Put fine sand or dry and hard tiny plant seeds into the gourd. When shaking, the hard grains hit the wall of the gourd to make a sound."

"This sound effect can be used in many occasions, such as simulating the sound of plants and trees swaying in the wind."

Li Li has introduced some sound effects instruments one after another, such as bird whistles that can simulate various common bird singing.

This made Xiao Miaoqing and Zhang Lihua look eye-opener: "It turns out that there are so many specialties in the sound effects of popular scene stories nowadays."

Situational stories refer to the storytellers who also have various musical accompaniments when telling stories, creating a story scene atmosphere.

Li Li nodded: "Of course there are some considerations. Although oral skills can simulate any sound, they have high requirements for personal skills and are not suitable for large-scale promotion..."

"Telling stories, but relying on the verbal skills of the storyteller is not enough to attract listeners. It must be accompanied by various sound effects, especially horror stories..."

Speaking of this, Li Li's tone became sinister: "You know, creating a horror story atmosphere is very important. Relying on language description alone may not scare the audience..."

"No, no!!" Xiao Miaoqing became anxious. When she saw Li Li saying something, she picked up a water qin and was so scared that she was about to cry, "Don't beat the water qin..."

The water zither was used by musicians to create a horrifying atmosphere, such as the "prelude" before the appearance of monsters and evil ghosts, which caused a serious psychological shadow to Xiao Miaoqing.

When she heard the sound of the water piano, she couldn't help but tremble.

Li Li didn't want to scare pregnant women, so Shui Qin just used it as an explanation and put it on quickly.

Then, according to the previous promise, he took out a pottery and played a song for the two pregnant women.

Taowu is one of the traditional blowing instruments with a long history in the Central Plains. It is a local sound in Bayin (gold, stone, silk, bamboo, cube, soil, leather, and wood classified by musical instrument materials).

Its shape is roughly water droplets, as the size of a fist. There is an opening on the top of the "water droplets" and is an air blowing port.

There are several small holes (air outlets) on the front and back of the body of the trunk, that is, the pronunciation holes, one hole to six holes are uncertain.

When playing music, people hold Tao Wu with both hands, blow their mouths to the blowing mouth, and use their fingers to control the "opening" and "closing" of the sound hole, thereby making different sounds.

The song that Li Li wants to play is the latest "hot" music now called "The Scenery of Hometown".

This is actually a famous song from later generations, "The Original Scenery of Hometown", which is pure music and is played with a lion.

The effect is also very good when blowing with pottery.

The tone of the twilight is deep, sad and sad, the sound is turbid and noisy, and the sound is sad and quiet. It is the most appropriate to blow the "Scenery of Hometown" full of homesickness.

This song is the finale of another set of songs.

The new Yuefu song "Hometown" is divided into five parts and the first four parts. The piano sets the main theme and interprets the style of the hometown all year round:

Spring breeze, summer rain, autumn harvest, winter solstice.

Each part is made of a large number of musical instruments and sound effects to create sound effects and evoke the audience's memories of the scenery of their hometown.

The last part of the finale is Tao Wu’s solo plays "The Scenery of Hometown", which directly ignits the audience’s homesickness and makes the atmosphere reach its highest point:

Many people couldn't help but burst into tears.

Now, Li Li has a "special performance" for Xiao Miaoqing and Zhang Lihua, playing "The Scenery of Hometown", which makes the two of them feel dazed and can't help but think of their hometown.

Xiao Miaoqing's county is Lanling, but she grew up in Jiankang Palace, so Jiankang is her hometown.

Zhang Lihua's family is a resident of Jiankang, so Jiankang is also her hometown.

The melodious tone of the song Tao Wu played, deep and melancholy, made them feel homesick and the scenery of their hometown.

This is the gift Li Li promised to give at the beginning of the year, "made" a famous song for his upcoming children.

Of course, he actually wanted to use military force against Zhou State, "recover Chang'an" and celebrate the birth of a young life. However, the country's grain reserves are not good, so it's all for this year.

After Li Li finished playing, he groped in the simple appearance of Tao Wu and said slowly: "It is better to have fun to have fun alone than to have fun. Good things cannot be limited to a few people, because music should not be limited."

"Soul and solemn music makes people as calm as mountains, light and lively music makes people as floating as clouds, soothing and melodious music makes people as quiet as water, and passionate music makes people's blood boiling."

"Whether people are happy, angry, sorrowful, and happy, they can express their feelings through music."

"So, music has both spring and snow and snow, but no matter how high or low, you should be able to seek resonance from music, rather than difference between high or low."

"The scenery of my hometown is such a song that can make people of different classes and different levels of knowledge evoke homesickness after listening to it."

"So, you can hear it in the palace, and ordinary people can also hear it in ordinary entertainment venues. In the future, there will be more and more similar songs that will be widely known."

"These songs cannot be reduced to luxury goods that a few people enjoy in luxury houses and manors."

"No matter what type of songs are, they should be listened to by groups of all walks of life in popular entertainment venues."

"It's not easy to do this." Li Li picked up the frog croaker and tweaked it a few times, "But if he did it, the music of the new era would not be affected by a decadent atmosphere, but would be full of vitality."

"A country that unifies the world cannot be overwhelming. The new dynasty should have a new atmosphere, and the same is true for music."

"Otherwise, how can we inspire the enthusiasm of generous people, fight for the country, set sail for the world, and make all nations come to pay tribute?"
