Chapter 56 Rare Opportunity

   Play a thousand songs and then make a sound, watch a thousand swords and then recognize a weapon. This is an ancient Chinese saying.

   When Xu Guangling was in elementary school to write lyrics and compose music, her mother's practice was to throw a lot of popular songs for him to listen to. How long have you been listening? About two to three years! In the beginning, Xu Guangling didn't know what lyrics and music, let alone how to write lyrics and music. He just listened to the songs, and then picked out the songs he liked according to what his mother said.

When    heard it for the first time, the songs that Xu Guangling picked out were actually songs with good melody. Simply put, they were "beautiful and pleasant". The first time they heard it, they could grab their ears.

   Then his mother stopped him from listening to songs, saying that listening to songs is not good for his ears, so let him learn to write with his father.

   For almost a whole year after that, Xu Guangling hardly listened to a song carefully, seriously, from beginning to end. After such a break, his mother threw him a bunch of popular songs and let him pick out the ones he liked.

   When picking again this time, Xu Guangling's likes changed a little.

  Songs with beautiful and melodious melody can still grab his ears for the first time, and let him fish these songs out of the pile of "songs".

   But when making further choices, Xu Guangling hesitated. If it was two or three years ago, he would have put these songs into the category he liked without hesitation, but now, Xu Guangling found that although the melody of these songs is very good, some of those sung by male and female voices are really good. Let him not appreciate it very much.

   For example, it is supposed to be a heavy or sad song, but it is sung a little lightly, or conversely, it is obviously a very playful song, but it is sung very rigidly. This is just one example of it. - The style doesn't match.

   In addition, there are many other aspects.

   In short, Xu Guangling found that simply "good" songs could no longer make him like them very much. The first time, he was able to pick them out, but the second time, he hesitated to put them back.

   This is Xu Guangling's second "study".

   And then there is another time, the third time.

After    three times, his mother began to tell him that when people listen to popular songs, they also go through three such processes: the first process, the song selection, the second process, the singing process, and the third process, the lyrics selection process. Songs, singing, and lyrics are also the three major elements of popular songs, or the three major elements.

  The song is not good, and it is destined to have a small audience. Because most people hear it for the first time and find that it does not scratch their ears, they exclude it. No matter how well a singer sings, no matter how well the lyrics of this song are written, it is of no use.

   sing, followed closely behind.

   When you listen to a song for the first time, people feel whether it sounds good or not, but after listening to it three, five, and ten times, the simple melody at the beginning can no longer satisfy the ears. Or to put it another way, ears can be satisfied, but people are not just ears.

   When listening to a song, you don’t just use your ears. Satisfaction with the ears is not enough.

   This is what her mother taught Xu Guangling at the time.

  Son, are there any pretty girls in your school?

   Xu Guangling said yes.

   His mother asked who was who.

   Xu Guangling answered honestly, and there were several at a time.

After his mother heard it, she picked up a random person from the inside and said, "Son, let's say this girl has colorful hair, big earrings on her ears, red lips, and long fingernails." , there are black and gray inside, and then the shoes and socks she wears have not been changed for many days, they are dirty and smelly, so is she still beautiful?

  Xu Guangling thought for a while, and then felt numb all over his body. - That's terrible!

   Then he hurriedly shook his head and said, not pretty.

   I have to say that this was a very vivid teaching, at least for Xu Guangling, it was really impressive! It was so profound that every time he saw a girl in the future, the first thing he saw was not whether she was pretty or not, but how her hair, ears, lips, hands, and shoes were.

   Of course, this is another story.

   After this teaching, Xu Guangling understood the importance of the difference between "song" and "sing" for a song. Good music but bad singing is like a pretty girl who dresses badly.

   And the importance of "words" was only gradually realized by Xu Guangling after a long period of time.

   At this time, Xu Guangling transferred his knowledge of a popular song to boxing. A popular song has three major elements: "song", "sing" and "words". How many major elements are there in a set of Taijiquan?

   In other words, what is the difference between his Taijiquan and Zhang Lao and Chen Lao? What is the specific reason for Chen Lao’s current boxing, and he instinctively thinks it is a master’s handwriting?

   I have to say that Xu Guangling was quite lucky.

The learning of lyrics and composition brought him benefits by no means limited to song creation. At this time, the analysis method of the understanding of popular songs was transferred to the analysis of Taijiquan by him. At the same time, Zhang Lao, The existence of Chen and Laotian provided him with two excellent models.

   plus himself, it is three templates! There are differences in the three similarities, but the overall level difference is a great template!

   As a result, Xu Guangling hardly encountered too many difficulties, so he just scratched his head and found the gap between himself, Zhang Lao, and Chen Lao. ——And when he came to the result, it was when Chen Lao’s boxing was finished.

   Chen Lao played more than thirty-six stances. After thirty-six stances, he also interspersed with several Sanshou moves.

   Xu Guangling inexplicably felt that Mr. Chen had specially demonstrated these tricks to him. If you really want to say the reason, you can actually find it, that is, based on the level that Mr. Chen showed when he punched just now, there is no need for him to take up these Sanshou after the thirty-six.

   What else could it be for besides showing it to him?

   However, it felt like this, but Xu Guangling didn't dare to think so. - Does he have such a big face?

   But anyway, it must be said that at this time, Xu Guangling felt a little flattered.

   Just as he didn't prepare at all before the punch, now, after the punch, Old Mr. Chen also didn't have any calm blood or anything. As soon as the air was closed, he walked directly towards the trail.

  Xu Guangling looked at the old man who was walking towards him.

   He walked peacefully and his breath was steady. Mr. Chen did not show any signs of just exercising and after strenuous exercise! You must know that even if it is a young man who is constantly active, like the old gentleman just now, his fists are moving like wind and electricity, and his blood and blood must be boiling and then he is out of breath!

   Based on this, it shows that this old man is by no means ordinary, quite extraordinary!

  People not only have a theory, but in fact, they are even more stubborn, and they are even more stubborn than Zhang Laodu. As for him, Xu Guangling, for the time being, he really can't compare with others.

   Nothing compares!

   But Xu Guangling was not depressed, only excited. ——There is nothing more exciting than knowing the correct answer to a good student who has not passed the test for a while.

   Once you know the answer, you know how to solve the problem.

   And if he knows how to solve the problem, he will not be able to trouble him any more in this area in the future!

   In other words, Xu Guangling felt that he no longer needed a teacher in Taijiquan. Unless one day in the future, he discovers that there is someone more powerful than Mr. Chen! Otherwise, relying on what Mr. Chen demonstrated today, he can continue to study for a long time.
