【古琴Guqin】《华胥引》蘧然寤梦也，那地天南北为无极--黃帝午睡梦入华胥国悟出治国之道 | 自得琴社

《华胥引》蘧然寤梦也，那地天南北为无极--黃帝午睡梦入华胥国悟出治国之道。
本曲最早见于《神奇秘谱》（1425年），解题云:“是曲者，太古之曲也。尤古於遁世操。一云黄帝之所作，一云命伶伦所作。”此说虽不足信，然从其用指特点可推测成曲年代甚早。
据《列子·黄帝篇》所载，黄帝曾忧于治国，一日午睡，梦入华胥国，见此国人民无忧无虑，自由自在，醒后终于悟到了治国之道。
此本由姚丙炎先生打谱，曲调轻快流美，诚如吴振平先生言:“以轻盈流利的右手弹抹勾挑，和松透灵活的左手吟猱绰注，表现了舞蹈般的步伐和雀跃般的兴头，赋予乐曲以饱满的乐观主义精神和载歌载舞的情趣”。

“Hua Xu Yin” (华胥引)

“Suddenly awakening from a dream, where heaven and earth stretch infinitely in all directions.”
Legend says that The Yellow Emperor once fell asleep at noon and dreamed of entering the Kingdom of Huaxu, where he realized the true principles of governing a nation.

This piece was first recorded in the Shenqi Mipu (1425). Its commentary states:
“This melody is an ancient piece from primordial times, even older than Dunshi Cao. One tradition claims it was composed by the Yellow Emperor himself, while another says he ordered Ling Lun to compose it.”
Although these claims cannot be fully verified, the fingering techniques suggest that the composition indeed dates back to a very early period.

According to the Liezi, in the chapter “The Yellow Emperor,” the emperor once worried about governing the state. One day during a midday nap, he dreamed of entering the land of Huaxu. The people there lived carefree and completely free. Upon awakening, he finally realized the true way of ruling a country.

This version was reconstructed by Yao Bingyan. The melody is light and flowing. As Wu Zhenping commented:

“Through the graceful plucking, brushing, hooking, and lifting motions of the right hand, combined with the flexible vibrato and sliding techniques of the left hand, the piece evokes dance-like steps and joyful excitement, giving the music a full spirit of optimism and a festive, song-and-dance character.”
