The bone of Lijiang is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, while the soul of Lijiang is ancient Naxi music. Naxi ancient music is known as "music fossil". It combines many ancient music elements such as Baisha fine music, Dongjing music, Huangjing music, Tang poetry and Song poetry, and is played with various national musical instruments. It is solemn and elegant. Naxi ancient music has three characteristics: one is that the repertoire (music) is ancient, the other is that the instruments are ancient, and the third is that the performers are old. People who have heard this "three old" ancient music will not only feel the antiquity and civilization of Naxi ancient music, but also appreciate the profoundness of Naxi culture. Someone vividly described it as "watching a 100-year-old man play 700-year-old music with a 200-year-old instrument". When you come to Lijiang to play, you must not miss the Naxi ancient music played at the Dayan Ancient Music Concert in the evening, and if it is hosted by Dr. Xuanke himself. Almost all the performers on the stage are old people in their 70s and 80s. Many of the repertoires are from Tang and Song dynasties, such as "Lang Tao Sha", "Winds of a River", "Shuilong Yin", "Bubujiao" ", are all classical pieces of music spread among Lijiang folk literati. These pieces of music inherit the original charm of ancient music, integrate Lijiang's minor tunes, and some raps with a sense of ridicule. You can feel the strong Naxi style. Another very interesting part of the concert is to introduce the ancient musical instruments in the hands of the members, such as the Sugudu from ancient Persia, which has been lost in Iran; there is also a Quxiang Pipa, which has a history of more than 100 years; And the ten gongs that must be played before the opening of each song turned out to be made in Gusu in the Ming Dynasty. It has been struck for more than 400 years, and it is still melodious and melodious. Playing in the hands of an octogenarian artist, there will be a wonderful feeling of traveling through time and space.
