Legend has it that a long time ago, at the foot of the golden Alateng Aola Mountain, there was a silver moon lake. There lived a hard-working, brave, honest and kind-hearted little herdsman named Su He by the lake. He and his mother lived a life of poverty.
One day, Xiao Suhe went out to herd herds and had a strange dream on the hillside - he saw a beautiful girl flying from the sky in the clouds and mist, and said to him: "I know you want to get a cute horse." My dear horse, I tell you, there is a white horse by the lake in the north. Kind-hearted person, please go and take it home!" After saying this, a white light was seen, and the girl disappeared without a trace. Su He woke up with an "ah" sound and rubbed his eyes to see the sun shining in his head. Thinking of what he had just heard in his dream, he stood up and couldn't help but look north. Sure enough, there was a little white horse standing by the lake. Su He ran towards it happily.
From then on, Su He had an inseparable partner. Su He carefully fed and tamed the little white horse and taught it to walk and run. Soon, the little white horse grew into a fat and strong horse that ran with wind on its hooves.
One day, when Su He was grazing herds by the lake, he accidentally stepped into a spring in the swamp and sank deeper and deeper. When the white horse saw it, it ran towards its owner with a long hiss, bit the master's sleeve and dragged him out. Su He was rescued holding the white horse's neck. One night, a wild wolf rushed into the sheepfold. Su He hurriedly waved his hand. The stick hit the evil wolf, and the evil wolf pounced on Su He with its fangs and claws open. At this time, the white horse neighed and broke away from the reins, raised its front hooves and plowed towards the wolf. There was only an "ouch" sound, and the wolf's head exploded. Su He felt grateful, ran over and hugged the white horse's head lovingly, not knowing what to say.
One day, when Su He was grazing in the wild, several knights came running from a distance. They came to Su He panting and said: "Little brother, can you help us? The prince ordered We have to capture a sika deer alive. If we fail to catch it, we will be punished when we go back!"
Hearing about their situation, Su He climbed on the white horse and galloped towards the mountains without saying a word. It didn't take long to catch up with the sika deer and lasso the deer with a horse pole.
After Su He handed the deer to the soldiers of the palace, he said: "Brothers, according to your request, I have caught the sika deer for you. But I have a request. When you go back, you must not He said that I caught this deer on a white horse!" But the news that "there is a white horse on the grassland that can catch up with birds and animals" spread like wildfire. The prince salivated after hearing this and showed a greedy smile.
As soon as spring begins, news spreads on the grassland: the "Nadamu" conference will be held at the palace residence, and the winners of various competitions will be rewarded. In addition, it was also said that the prince's daughter would choose the best rider as her son-in-law. Su He went to participate in the competition happily.
Su He and Bai Junma indeed won first place. But when the prince's girl saw that the leader was a poor shepherd boy, she left dejectedly. The treacherous and vicious prince showed his fierceness. He said to Su He who came to receive the award: "I will give you a sheep, and leave your white horse to the house." When Su He refused, the servants captured him and beat him. They tied him up again and took Su He's white horse back to the palace.
After getting the white horse, the prince felt like he had found a treasure, so he chose a good day to celebrate with wine. Local wealthy officials came to congratulate him. The prince was so proud that he ordered his servants to bring the white horse. He wanted to show it off in front of everyone. But as soon as the prince got on the horse, the white horse suddenly jumped forward and kicked backwards. The prince was so frightened that he screamed and fell down, leaving his mouth gnawing in the mud. The white horse galloped away like lightning.
The palace guards mobilized in full force, mounted fast horses, held bows and arrows, and pursued hard. But the white horse left the string like an arrow, and the soldiers could not catch up. So they opened their bows and arrows and shot at the white horse, but the white horse still ran very fast and soon disappeared. The soldiers of the palace had no choice but to return with their heads down and report to the prince: "The white horse was hit by several poisonous arrows and ran away. It must have died on the road..." The prince had no choice but to give up.
One night, a long horse neighed through the silent night sky. Su He hurriedly ran out to take a look and saw that the white horse was running back. Su He was surprised and happy. When he took a closer look under the moonlight, he saw that the white horse had several arrows in its body and was already dying... Su He was heartbroken. The white horse died in front of his master due to serious injuries from the arrow. Su He couldn't help but burst into tears as he stroked the white horse.
After losing the white horse, Su He was listless and heartbroken all day long.
One day, he saw the white horse again in his dream. It said: "Master, don't be sad and cry. Use my skin, bones, mane and tail to make a piano, and let me stay with you forever." Around me..."
So Su He made a qin according to what Bai Junma said, and carved a horse head in the shape of Bai Junma on the upper end of the qin pole, and named it "Morin Qin", which he will carry with him forever. Be around.
Whenever he thinks of the white horse Su He, he plays the moron fiddle, and the sound of the fiddle resounds through the sky, like thousands of horses galloping.
Morin Khuur: a Mongolian stringed instrument, named after the horse head carved on the head. It has a long history and originated from Xiqin. It was widely spread among the Mongolian people in the early 13th century AD. Marco Polo (1254-1324), an Italian traveler in the early Yuan Dynasty, arrived in Shangdu (now northwest of Duolun County, Inner Mongolia) in May 1275. When he returned to China in the 17th year of the Yuan Dynasty, he brought the Morin fiddle to Europe and introduced it to the West. The development of stringed instruments played a great role in promoting this. The morinouqur is a solo instrument and can also be used in instrumental ensembles and as accompaniment for rap, folk songs, dances, or in ethnic bands.
The solid wood structure of the piano body is composed of sound box, piano rod, headstock, pegs, horses, strings and bow. The total length is about 100cm. It is similar to the pendulum piano. A plate-type stringed instrument does not have a heavy weight, and the effective range of the strings is from Yamaguchi to Mazi. Its most prominent feature is that both sides of the piano case are covered with film, which is different from ordinary stringed instruments that only cover the top (the front of the barrel). , the back (the rear mouth of the tube) is different if it has a sound window or an open type. Its strings are composed of 40 (inner strings) and 6O (outer strings) left and right horsetails. The bowing method is also different from other stringed instruments. The horsetails of the bow are not sandwiched between the inner and outer strings, but between the two. The outside of the string rubs the string. Therefore, it has a unique timbre. When played, it is particularly grand, deep, bold, and full of grassland flavor
