- A duo performance of "Taiping Yue": Ji《太平乐》· 急 (Great Peace Music: Quick), an instrumental movement in the Dashi mode (Chinese: Dashi diao, 大食调, equivalent to the Mixolydian mode on E), dating back to China's Tang Dynasty. As the final movement of the suite "Taiping Yue," this piece is known by the title "Hehuan Yan" (合欢盐, Happy Together Song). According to musicologist Steven G. Nelson, this suite probably had its origins as a military dance, perhaps of the pozhen yue (破阵乐, literally "destroying the formations") type, in Tang China, which was transmitted to the Japanese court by the early 8th century, then arranged into a suite in the Japanese court of the mid-9th century.
In the context of the piece's title, the term "yan" (塩), which usually means "salt" in Chinese, refers to a particular type of poetic song popular during the Tang period (a synonym for "qu" 曲, meaning "piece"); yïr or yır means "song" in Turkic languages.
Performed (in one-man band fashion) by Bilibili user 扬波-小锤-芥末cookie, playing the following instruments:
● Left: Japanese koto (箏 or 琴, 13-string bridge zither) with silk strings
● Right: Tang-style Quxiang pipa (曲项琵琶, pear-shaped lute) with silk strings
A paiban (拍板, 6-piece hardwood clapper) is also heard keeping the beat in this video, but not shown on camera.
Probably filmed in the performer's home in China, and uploaded to the Bilibili website on February 26, 2024.
This reconstruction, which was made by Bilibili user 扬波-小锤-芥末cookie, is based primarily on the version of this piece as found in "Sango Yōroku"『三五要録』and "Jinchi Yōroku"『仁智要録』, the most important and extensive collections of Tang-era scores for 4-string pipa and 13-string zheng respectively; these collections were compiled by the Japanese nobleman Fujiwara no Moronaga (藤原師長, 1138-1192) shortly after 1177 (c. 1180), during the late Heian period (794-1185). His reconstruction was probably also inspired by that of Bilibili user "männlichkeit," which was uploaded to the Bilibili website on January 24, 2020:

In Japan's tradition of Tōgaku (唐楽, court music of Chinese origin), this dance suite movement is called "Taiheiraku": Kyū《太平楽》· 急 (たいへいらく：きゅう), with the movement title being pronounced "Gakka-en"《合歡塩》(がっかえん). Its mode is called Taishiki-chō (大食調) in Japanese.

随便录的。说实话在这么软的床上弹琴对腰简直是一种折磨。录时间长了，腰都要断了。
筝的节奏有点把握不住，大家凑合听……

你见过头部有蝙蝠雕刻的越南琵琶深受中国明清琵琶影响吗？要知道，在中国历史上，蝙蝠琴头不仅出现在琵琶中，月琴、双清、梅花琴、三弦中也有蝙蝠的身影！

Tang music is amazing. Thanks for uploading this.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this!! It is so good.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's such a pleasure to hear Tang yanyue (which I think is some of the most exquisite, sublime, and beautifully crafted music of all time) played so faithfully, on the correct instruments, and at a reasonable tempo. This performer is doing a great job, but I am pretty sure that he has based this arrangement on the excellent one made by the Bilibili user "männlichkeit" in 2020.
