高山流水的故事
春秋时代,有个叫俞伯牙的人,精通音律,琴艺高超,是当时著名的琴师。俞伯牙年轻的时候聪颖好学,曾拜高人为师,琴技达到水平,但他总觉得自己还不能出神入化地表现对各种事物的感受。伯牙的老师知道他的想法后,就带他乘船到东海的蓬莱岛上,让他欣赏大自然的景色,倾听大海的波涛声。伯牙举目眺望,只见波浪汹涌,浪花激溅;海鸟翻飞,鸣声入耳;山林树木,郁郁葱葱,如入仙境一般。一种奇妙的感觉油然而生,耳边仿佛咯起了大自然那和谐动听的音乐。他情不自禁地取琴弹奏,音随意转,把大自然的美妙融进了琴声,伯牙体验到一种前所未有的境界。老师告诉他:“你已经学了。”
一夜伯牙乘船游览。面对清风明月,他思绪万千,于是又弹起琴来,琴声悠扬,渐入佳境。忽听岸上有人叫绝。伯牙闻声走出船来,只见一个樵夫站在岸边,他知道此人是知音当即请樵夫上船,兴致勃勃地为他演奏。伯牙弹起赞美高山的曲调,樵夫说道:“真好!雄伟而庄重,好像高耸入云的泰山一样!”当他弹奏表现奔腾澎湃的波涛时,樵夫又说:“真好!宽广浩荡,好像看见滚滚的流水,无边的大海一般!”伯牙兴奋色了,激动地说:“知音!你真是我的知音。”这个樵夫就是钟子期。从此二人成了非常要好的朋友。
故事出自《列子·汤问》。成语“高山流水”,比喻知己或知音,也比喻音乐优美。
