The King of Qin swept across the world, looking so majestic and covetous!

Song: """elephant king's march"""

Composer, Arranger: Nan Ye

Performed by: Da Xia Orchestra

(An instrumental piece actually composed by Teacher Guan Dazhou.)

The moment the information was released, the Netizens were restless again:

[Wow, as expected, it's indeed Nan Ye who composed it.]

[This is a bit impressive, Xiao Ge composed all four pieces for the exchange meeting.]

[Just a bit? That's very, extremely, especially, incredibly, super, invincible awesome, okay!

Look at other countries, who composed all the pieces by himself?]

[It seems there really isn't anyone. Let's see, if this piece is still good, Xiao Ge's composing ability can be directly deified on the spot!]

[Deified might be an exaggeration, but a top-tier composer is definitely happening, right!]

[...]

Not just the locals, but foreigners were also whispering among themselves.

Even the most slow-witted person saw Nan Ye's name at this moment.

[What... it's still this person called "Na Ye"? Who is this person? Why have I never heard of him before?]

[It's Nan Ye, not Na Ye, roll your tongue again.]

[This person seems quite famous in Great Xia, he has many songs!]

[No way, I have to listen to them after it ends...]

They didn't continue chatting because the performance was about to begin.

Talking at this moment would definitely be disrespectful to the music.

There was a large drum on each side of the stage, accompanied by a guzheng, pipa, erhu, and dizi.

There was also a special instrument known as the "Great Horn," the Tongqin.

The Tongqin is one of the brass instruments unique to Tibetan Buddhism.

It is generally about 3 meters long, with the largest exceeding five meters. Its tone is low and majestic, making it the largest in size and loudest in volume among Tibetan brass instruments.

Not only that, this instrument represents the roar of the Elephant King in Buddhism.

With a "hong hong" sound, it awakens believers to cultivate their inner selves, avoid falling into hell, and escape the suffering of reincarnation.

The Elephant King is a symbol of nobility in Buddhism!

In ancient times, the noblest person was none other than the Emperor, the 'Nine-Five Supreme'.

Therefore, xiang wang xing (elephant king's journey) represents the music of an Emperor's expedition.

When this instrument was moved onto the stage, everyone was dumbfounded, and comments flooded the live stream.

[Holy cow, this feels like a big move is coming!]

[What is this? I've never seen it before. How can it be so long? A magnified suona?]

[Ignorant, this is called Tongqin, a Tibetan instrument, it's very difficult to play!]

How could foreign audiences and Netizens know about an instrument that even many Daxia people don't know?

[Unbelievable, Great Xia actually has such an instrument? It's probably three or four meters long, right?]

[Can a human blow this thing? You probably need to invite a cow!]

[Great Xia has once again broadened my horizons. It's truly a magical country. No way, if I get the chance in the future, I need to visit!]

[...]

Suddenly, the lights went out!

The sound of the Great Horn rang out!

"Hong... hong..."

The sound was low and powerful, yet exceptionally solemn, like the long roar of an elephant, deafening.

It echoed in the concert hall for a long time, as if possessing the power to awaken all living beings.

Such a solemn and heavy instrument is truly not something ordinary people can handle.

The next second, the lights shone on the large drums on both sides.

Two drummers rhythmically struck the drum surface and its sides.

Their eyes were very firm, and their movements were powerful and strong, as if they were truly on a battlefield.

For the first 27 seconds, only these two instruments were played together.

It wasn't abrupt at all, but rather highlighted the sense of depth and weight.

Playing the rhythm of war drums and the melody of horns, instantly, a great army pressed forward, millions of brave soldiers and cavalry sweeping across the battlefield.

With the appearance of the majestic Mount Tai and the rolling Yellow River on the screen.

Everyone was stunned at this moment.

How could there be such an overwhelmingly majestic and awe-inspiring melody in this world?

Every section of its melody contained the heavy aura of time.

Every sound seemed like a re-enactment of yesterday's history.

It was like two armies clashing, both sides beating drums to build morale.

That kind of morale accumulated more and more in the drum sound, reaching its peak at the 27th second.

It was precisely at this point in time that the sound of the pipa quietly arrived.

This is the brilliance of Teacher Guan Dazhou, grasping all the key points just right!

The ones playing the pipa were none other than Nan Ye and North Dust.

The two sat facing each other, their expressions showing some excitement and confidence.

Seriousness mixed with a hint of pride.

As if saying: Look, the vast Great Xia has such a profound heritage!

Their hands danced on the strings, plucking, sweeping, hooking, trembling, strumming... in no time, it was dazzling.

The sounds of the large drums and the Great Horn quietly subsided, becoming the background sound for the pipa.

The pipa sound was very rapid, crisp and full of a chilling aura.

Like tens of thousands of cavalry charging forward, heavily thrusting their long spears.

That kind of killing intent seemed to solidify, exuding a full sense of sophistication and astonishment.

Many audience members below the stage were already trembling in their legs, as if cavalry were charging towards them, about to give them a spear thrust, ready to flee at any moment.

Next came the bamboo flute.

Light and clear!

The melody was like the rustling of pine waves, wind rising from myriad valleys.

Like high mountains, like flowing water, like the clang of swords, piercing through forests and brushing leaves, filled with the heroic spirit and chivalry in the hearts of the Daxia people!

Like a great general entering the battlefield, one person can sweep away a thousand armies.

Thus, the erhu followed like a shadow, connecting perfectly.

Its tone was the most profound and lingering.

As if having tasted all the flavors of this world,

As if having walked through the vicissitudes of this world,

And like a historical scroll spanning five thousand years, narrating the joys, sorrows, partings, and reunions since Great Xia.

What a wonderful erhu.

A pot of wine in the cup, two swords of the mundane world!

After various instruments had their turn, the guzheng finally made its appearance.

Quiet and distant, combining rigidity and softness.

Urgent like a sudden shower tapping on steps, slow like fine rain caressing paulownias, assertive like a north wind blowing snow, relaxed like a gentle breeze brushing willows.

At times like a dragon roaring in the sky, like a phoenix dancing in the nine heavens, the majestic aura fully displaying the grandeur of a great nation, yet mixed with a hint of melancholy.

Thus, all the instruments were gathered.

And each instrument had its own meaning.

The erhu is the most intense, made with snakeskin, like wind filling the tower before a mountain storm... it represents the Azure Dragon, residing in the East.

The guzheng sound is lingering, the guzheng often carries phoenix patterns, the beauty of flowing clouds and rhythm like a roc spreading its wings... it represents the Vermilion Bird, residing in the South.

The bamboo flute sound is agile, like a towering mountain unmoving, representing stability like a rock... it represents the Black Tortoise, residing in the North.

The pipa's tone is chilling and awe-inspiring, like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, killing intent rising from the desolate north, cold light making ghosts weep... it represents the White Tiger, residing in the West.

The two drums symbolize Gou Chen and Teng She, located in the center.

The Great Horn, solemn and heavy, the national instrument sounding the king's steps, the great elephant supporting the sky... pointing to the sky.

The gathering of six instruments is the Six Harmonies!

The Six Harmonies, encompassing the meaning of the four seas, and the heart to swallow the eight directions, generally referring to the world.

It also implies, Qin King swept the Six Harmonies, how majestic his gaze!

With the Six Harmonies gathered, the full ensemble performance is also about to begin...
