This set of sixteen golden chimes has a luxurious shape, showing the extraordinary style of palace musical instruments and ritual instruments.

It can be cast with gold and can strike different tones, so this set of golden chimes has become an exquisite instrument and is rare in the world.

Their craftsmanship and cultural relics are worth far more than the weight of gold itself.

For example, the music "Oriental Red" played by my country's first artificial satellite was played by a golden chime.

The sixteen chimes in the capital are now placed in two large glass cabinets and are displayed in the Treasure Hall of the Palace Museum.

Every day, thousands of Chinese and foreign people come to watch it.

Chime bells are choreographed and combined. The shapes and sizes of each era are different. The Zenghou Yi chime bells unearthed in Suizhou, Beihu, attracted worldwide attention.

There must be only one set of such a national treasure, and Chen Wenzhe will definitely not get it.

He really didn't expect that he would get a set of Qing Palace Golden Chimes today.

And it is a complete set, with 16 pieces cast according to the rhythm of different sizes.

Now looking at the craftsmanship, there is no problem at all, so the next step is to look at the connotation, that is, the rhythm and syllable.

In ancient chimes, chimes used their size to distinguish the rhythm;

The golden chime bells have uniform shapes and use different thicknesses to distinguish scales, which is particularly rare.

With the experience of casting Jing Yun Bell, Chen Wenzhe also knows a little about ancient music.

Of course, the music from the Qing Dynasty was already very close to modern music.

Chen Wenzhe is even more proficient in the bells and the syllables above the chimes.

Chimes are large percussion instruments in ancient my country and are mostly used in major royal ceremonies.

The top of this set of sixteen golden chimes is two dragon-shaped buttons.

The middle part is engraved with cloud dragon patterns, and there are 6 raised round lips at the bottom. Hitting the round lips can make a sound.

The interval sizes of different chimes are achieved by adjusting the thickness of the clock body.

The thinner the clock body, the lower the pronunciation.

It should be noted that the sides of each chime are engraved with their own names.

This corresponds to the four-fold rhythm, that is, the bass, and the twelve regular laws in the musical rhythm of the Qing Dynasty.

These rhythms are: Beiyi Ze, Beinan Lu, Beiwuzhe, Beiyingzhong, Huangzhong, Dalu, Taicu, Jiazhong, Guxi, Zhonglu, Ruibin, Linzhong, Yize, Nanlu, Wuzhe, Yingzhong.

Among them, the twelve regular rules of the Qing Dynasty originated from the twelve regular rules of "Lüshi Chunqiu".

The latter's musical name determination and generation method contain very rich ancient scientific connotations.

In the field of acoustics, the relationship between tone and frequency is: the higher the frequency, the higher the tone; the smaller the frequency, the lower the tone.

In physics, frequency is closely related to the length of the vibrating body.

Taking the rudiment tube as an example, the sound emitted by the rudiment tube is determined by its natural frequency.

The frequency is inversely proportional to the sound wave wavelength, while the sound wave wavelength is proportional to the length of the rule tube.

Therefore, the frequency of the pipe is inversely proportional to the length of the pipe.

When the diameter of the pipe remains unchanged, the shorter the pipe, the higher its frequency and the higher the tone it emits.

Correspondingly, when the length of the tray is reduced by half, its tone is increased by one octave accordingly.

The so-called "octave" means the interval between two notes of the same roll title.

For example, 1 (middle), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1 (treble) is an octave.

….

Zhou Gongdan wrote the "Li of Zhou", in which "The Third Diantong of the Spring Official Zongbo" records that "every musical instrument is used as a 12-character rule to make it several degrees."

That is, the sound of the instrument is used to determine the degree by twelve rules.

The "Twelve Rules" are the sound and rhythm rules set by the ancients.

That is, using the Huang Zhong Rule as the standard note, one octave is divided into twelve semitones that are not exactly the same.

Lu Buwei and others wrote "Lüshi Chunqiu", in which "The Fifth Ancient Music in Midsummer" records the origin of the twelve laws.

Huangdi ordered the music official Linglun to create music rules. Linglun took bamboo from the valley, cut off a three-inch and nine-minute section and blew it.

He set the sound he made as the palace sound of Huang Zhonglu, and based on this, he made twelve bamboo tubes and adjusted the pronunciations of each tube to varying degrees.

As the benchmark of the twelve laws, Huang Zhong is closely related to the ancients' understanding of weights and measures.

According to Volume 21 of the Book of Han (Part 1): the "degree" that measures length and length originate from the length of the Huangzhong Ruo tube, the "quantity" that measures volume originate from the capacity of the Huangzhong Ruo tube, and the "power" that measures light and weight originate from the weight of the Huangzhong Ruo tube.

Once the rhythm of Huang Zhong is determined, it will not change with others.

Correspondingly, the Huang Zhong Rule is the starting rhythm, and other rhythms are generated based on the Huang Zhong Rule.

Some modern scholars believe that using the yellow clock rule tube as the weight and measure benchmark is equivalent to defining the reference length based on the sound wave wavelength.

In addition, the ancient book "Guanzi" of the pre-Qin period "The Fifty-Eighth Land Member" contains "The first lord is one and three, four opens to close nine, so that the head of Xiao Su is born in Huang Zhong."

According to the description of this passage, the value of the Huangzhong rhythm is: 1x34=81.

"The Sixth Music of Jixia Ji" in "Lüshi Chunqiu" contains: "Huang Zhong gave birth to Lin Zhong, Lin Zhong gave birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gave birth to Nan Lu, Nan Lu gave birth to Gu Xi, Gu Xi gave birth to Ying Zhong, Ying Zhong gave birth to Ruibin, Ruibin gave birth to Da Lu, Da Lu gave birth to Yi, Yi gave birth to Jia Zhong, Jia Zhong gave birth to no siege, and no siege gave birth to Zhong Lu. The three parts are born, and the three parts are born, and the three parts are born, and the less than one part is born."

This passage explains the method of generating the twelve laws: divide the benchmark rhythm into three equal parts, and add one equal part to generate a new law upward;

If one of them is reduced, a new law can be produced downward;

Here, "upper generation" means that the length of the vibrating body increases by 1/3, and "downer generation" means that the length of the vibrating body decreases by 1/3.

According to the records in the book, the music of Huangzhong, Taizu, Guxi, Ruibin, Dalu, Jiazhong, Zhonglu and other music belong to "Shangsheng".

The music of Lin Zhong, Nan Lu, Ying Zhong, Yi Ze, Wu Shi belongs to "lowing life".

The music of "upper birth" and "lower birth" are collectively called "twelve rules".

Since this method determines the rhythm by increasing or decreasing 1/3 of the length of the vibrating body, it is called the "three-point profit and loss method".

Of course, many people are not musicians and do not learn music, so they don’t need to know too much.

Now we only need to know that here, "Qing Huang Zhong" is the high octave sound of the Huang Zhong.

The order of each rhythm from low to high is: Huangzhong, Dalu, Taicu, Jiazhong, Guxi, Zhonglu, Ruibin, Linzhong, Yize, Nanlu, Wushe, Yingzhong, and Qinghuangzhong.

Among them, six odd rhythms, including Huangzhong, Taicu, Guxi, Ruibin, Yize, and Wushe, are Yanglu, also known as "Six Rules";

The six even-numbered melody, including Dalu, Jiazhong, Zhonglu, Linzhong, Nanlu, and Yingzhong, are Yinlu, and are also called "Liulu".

The twelve laws generated based on the three-point profit and loss method are easy to express the beauty of the melody.

The three-part profit and loss method can be said to be the earliest method in my country to use mathematical knowledge to find music.

The determination of the twelve laws is the comprehensive application of knowledge about ancient Chinese mathematics, physics, optics, measurement and other knowledge in the field of music.

The Jin chimes used in the Qing Dynasty, which were modified "Twelve Rules".

However, the basis of its modification is the "Twelve Laws".

Therefore, it can reflect rich ancient music science and also reflect the wisdom of the ancient working people.

My system is not serious.
