▲CinemaMr. Zheng Qia
Autumn window stroking the Yaoqin against the moon, and playing the clear sound. The song “Remembering the Old Friend” is lightly wiped out. Myanmar’s ancestors, every time I whisper, tears are touched. I vaguely peek at the shadows, and I can’t find the sky when I see it. In the autumn night, I am playing the piano and remembering my grandfather, Grandfather Qiao Gong’s voice and appearance are still there, and tears wet my clothes. The poem is here – “Telling Hearts” to express my grief…
My grandfather Zheng Qiao, originally from Mukeng Palace in Miancheng, Chaoyang, was a wise man and famous teacher in the Chaoshan music industry. Good at temple painting and exquisite academic figures. What I learned throughout my life is profound and profound, and I especially value Confucianism and joy in educating people. Dedicated to the inheritance of traditional culture and traditional music, he is the founder of the spread and development of Chaoyang Difu music in Haojiang. My grandfather lost his father at a young age and was able to sell fried dough sticks at Chaoyang Tower at the age of eight. However, he is eager to study and lingers in the academies and bookshelf all day long. I got the mercy of the old man in the private school and allowed him to study for free. He is also smart and always stays in temples and music halls, and is fascinated by calligraphy, painting and music art. At the age of twelve, he studied under the name of Mr. Chen Wulu, the famous Cinema family of the “Yangchun Garden” Leshe, Chaoyang. He was highly valued and accepted as a disciple of the family, teaching Chaoyang flute sets ancient music and string poetry music. After obtaining his true teachings, he is especially good at drums and flutes. During the Anti-Japanese War, Chaoyang’s “Yangchun Garden” Leshe stopped all drills, and his grandfather moved to Dahao. Dahao was always the capital of Chaoyang County recruitment. Guangxu (Chaoyang County Chronicles) recorded: “There are many people in the area, including reciting strings and poetry and books.” After settling down, he met local celebrities such as Wu Xuehong, Zheng Jieru, Zheng Fuxuan, Lin Zhonghong, Li Yongzhi, and fellow music clubs such as Zheng Senyao and Yao Biaoqing. He deeply felt that Dahao’s humanities and history had a solid foundation. However, he felt very sorry that there were few people who dabbled in Chaoyang Di Fu’s ancient music in this place, and thus he had the idea of spreading and carrying forward it. Therefore, we entertain ourselves first and then attract enthusiasts to observe and learn. By the 1950s, there were more than 40 enthusiasts such as Wu Guozhe, Cai Zhaowu, Li Qinru, Wu Tongguang, and Yang Dan, who practiced Chaoyang flute set music and Chaozhou silk string music in batches. In the 1960s, there were hundreds of scholars. Zheng YuJie, Huang Tingke, Wu Muqing, Huang Tengsen, Wan Mianshui, etc., either make a living for learning art, or become a disciple for learning art due to their interests and hobbies. As the number of disciples and disciples followed one after another, I was eager to use Changxuan as a learning venue. He also considered the original intention of passing on the art and wanted to restore the “Yangchun Garden” Music Society, which was suspended due to the turbulence of the current situation. So he resolutely set up a hall next door, used his home as a hall, and carved a wooden drum pavilion, and wrote a note by himself: “Yangchun Garden Music Hall”, and wrote a couplet with the head of “Yangchun” as the music hall: “The three suns bloom and the peace will be reunited, and the first branch of the plum blossoms in spring is Babaylan“. To pray for the prosperity of the country, the “Yangchun Garden Music Hall” connects the past and the future, promotes excellent traditional culture, and inherits and develops Chaoyang Dimension Music. Cinema The venue is established, the rules must be determined, the teacher is strict, and the kindness must be learned. Whenever the students start and stop every day, students must bow their hands in front of the pavilion when entering the classroom and must not be disrespectful. At that time, he continued to accept disciples, unpacked the bags and added musical instruments, and taught free skills such as flute sets, gongs and drums, flute sets, Su gongs and drums, palace music, temple music, string poetry music, Chaozhou gongs and drums and other skills. Babaylan Flute set music is divided into “Flute set ancient music” and “Flute set gong music”. The ancient music of Flute Tao originated from the court music of the Tang and Song dynasties. It was the accumulation of ancient music flowing into Chaoyang and evolved with local music. Because of the special Chaoyang accent, it forms a deep, heavy, solemn and elegant sound. “Flute Ancient Music” belongs to the Confucian Temple School, mainly composed of Sheng, flute, pipe, and flute. The flute is led by the music, accompanied by SanxianBabaylan, Pipa, Zheng, Yueqin, Qinqin and ancient string music, and is accompanied by the performance of small eight-tones such as bells, Qing, Muyu, Jieban, Zhe drum, Sumuban, Wuyin gong, and Xiangzhan. It retains more the quaintness, solemnity and elegance of the palace music. The performance Cinema‘s style is harmonious, square and graceful. The main tracks include “Four Scenerys”, “Headlight Tower”, etc. “Flute Set Gongshu” belongs to the folk school. In addition to retaining the tone and set structure of the traditional ancient music, it is equipped with the Jiangsu opera Su Gongshu and Chaozhou Da Gongshu percussion instruments, forming the open, bright, fresh and elegant “Flute Set Su Gongshu” that are lively and light, joyful and jumping “Flute Set Xiao Gongshu” and the high-pitched, passionate, vigorous and enthusiastic “Flute Set” respectively.”Big Gong and Drum”. Its category is mainly distinguished from the supporting use of light and heavy musical instruments. At the same time, the second-class flute music combines the unique charm of Chaoyang dialect with low pronunciation and powerful Dantian.
▲The traditional music “Kongzi Score” hand-copied and compiled by Mr. Zheng Qiao
“The flute music is Confucian music! “Grandfather often said. The performance should be elegant and humble, and the dignified manner. The drums are especially true for “not looking up at the face, and the hammer is not inferior to the eyebrows”. The flute sets the main instrument of the ancient music “horizontal flute”, and its unique blowing technique “dragon head and phoenix tail finger” is the only way to play fingering. From the podium, style and even the matching of the repertoire, it should be necessary to use the traditional repertoire to hard and soft string orchestration instruments to inherit the thousand-year-old ancient rhyme and elegant style of the flute set. The second string is a Chaozhou music lead instrument, which is a Chaoshan musical unique ancient instrument, also known as “head and hand string”, Babaylan should be kept in mind that the holder pays the most attention to “steady and arch, and the temperament is the key”. The performance should be solid and solid, strong but not noise, and weak but not empty. In the use of sentence patterns, both sentences should be made gorgeous, but also complex and simple, fully reflecting the rigid, flexible, steady and elegant playing style and performance characteristics.
At that time, no matter the severe cold and heat, no matter the sunny or rainy days, in the old house of the old tiger built by my grandfather, from morning to evening, there were endless sounds of singing and pulling gongs and drums. Or sit around three or five, clapping and hitting the joints, singing and reading string poem sets with the traditional music score “Kongzi Tu”, or playing the big flute in pairs, practicing big gongs and drums in the afternoon, and even the evening string ensemble, without interruption. At 6 o’clock in the morning, the disciples living in the music hall must get up on time. After washing up<a After eating soy milk, fried dough sticks, or drinking my grandfather’s homemade five-ren noodle soup, then stand in pairs in the door yard, and practice playing the flute in turn. It is called "'Yao' string full flute"! Before practicing flute, you must not be empty-handed and the alchemy is insufficient. The grandfather sat upright on the side of the big eight immortal table in the middle of the hall, patted with a drum board, closed his eyes halfway, and carefully check whether the flute is smooth and correct. Following the traditional fingering, rigorously standardize the playing of the music with the starting sentence "picking, slapping, covering, and wiping" and the sentences are clear and complete. The performance practice of each piece of music must be sang and read with the traditional music score "Kongzi Score" until it is familiar and smooth before you can enter the solo and ensemble drill.
▲The disciples of the disciple participated in the 1984 “Shantou Island Reading Su Luodou “Autumn Night in Fishing Island” performance of “Shantou Island Reading Su Yu Dong” by the Autumn Night. Si Gu: Wu Shunxi
Grandfather teaches his apprenticeship, and teaches without any teaching.类，因材施教，法度庄严。 After Wu Shunyi, a disciple of the disciple, learned the flute playing technique, he continued to practice the yangqin. His grandfather Juele Hall originally equipped with the butterfly piano was no longer suitable for his synchronous practice, so he asked a friend to buy a three-stair yangqin from Beijing to continue his disciples’ ability to practice the utensils. Later, Wu Shunyi and his eight-year-old younger brother Wu Shunxi learned his skills. His grandfather first tried to use various plucking instruments and percussion instruments to see his character. After a detailed interview, Babaylan found that his nature was smart, his sense of music was outstanding, and he was quick to do it. This was a material that can be made of Chaomu Drums. Therefore, he strictly defined the framework: learning drum art requires the flute to be enlightened from the main instrument of flute music, and then proficient in other plucking instruments. It lays the foundation of its music for Komiks and helps them understand the connotation of music. Through learning different instruments, master the musical expression forms and characteristics of each instrument, understand the complementary contrast of each instrument’s expression forms, and give full play to the commanding role of drums during the performance. After learning the art for several years, he received careful guidance from his grandfather. The brothers Wu Shunyi and Wu Shunxi, who are quite talented in music, have already obtained their true teachings and superb skills. I remember an older brother who walked to the music hall in the evening about a hundred meters away. He heard the loud, exciting, melodious, but simple and quiet sound of flutes from afar, which was very pleasant Komiks! However, I was very surprised that there was such a big sound in the solo of the flute? After careful analysis, Cinema played the musical music “Happy Lantern Tower” in Babaylan. Even though he clapped his hands and sighed: The sound of nature is a wonderful combination! Although my grandfather was always so powerful that he was not angry, he was occasionally angry! I remember that it was one night when I was fifteen years old, and my senior brothers still arrived at the music hall one after another. The first ones came were my honest and honest uncle, thirty years older than me, and my “head-hand-string” was pulled and like I was dozing off, as well as my junior brother Wu Shunxi, whom I called “happy fool”. As usual, my brother debugged the flute. Uncle Master prepared his second string, Wu Shunxi took out the coconut beard, and I also adjusted the yangqin. A string poem “Crown Playing in the WaterKomiks” began the ensemble. My grandfather was still sitting on the side of his big eight immortal table, playing the suma board while controlling the slow rhythm with his belt. My grandfather often said, “It is especially difficult to be fast but not easy to be slow, but the difficulty lies in ‘fast but not chaotic, slow but constant’!” 2After passing the second board, my grandfather’s drums turned and continued to the second board. At this moment, my mind was distracted and the transfer area was in a mess. With a angrily shout, the small drum in my grandfather’s hand flew straight towards the direction where I was sitting. The little Lebi Wu Shunxi was so scared that he hugged the coconut beard in his hand and hid far away. And I was so shocked that I held the pair of piano chopsticks in my hand tightly and kept wiping my tears. But my uncle was already very awake at this time, and he was standing next to his grandfather, lowering his voice and cautiously, “Sir, don’t be angry, don’t be angry,” and constantly persuading him. Finally, fortunately, my mother, who heard the sound, rushed out, and my grandfather gradually calmed down. Since then, we no longer dare to slack off or be inattentive in our studies! Of course, for those apprentices who are good at taking action or are diligent and studious, their grandfather will also commend them very much. Any specialty cakes, snacks and other items given by friends will be given priority to sharers, and some will be awarded the honor of accompanying their grandfather to go out to do business and visit friends, and some will be regarded as the most treasure by the instruments given by their grandfather!
However, my grandfather was the twelfth disciple of Mr. Huang Xingtai, a master of Chaoshan astrology and geomantics. He was well versed in the academic numbers of star fate, Qimen, geomantics, and auspiciousness. As early as the age of eighteen, my grandfather had studied traditional flute music, and had already dabbled in many ways, including calligraphy, painting, medicine, etc. During this period, he was appreciated by Mr. Chen Bingji, a folk painter in Guiyu, and was taught fine brushwork lacquer paintings and temple paintings. After finishing the class, he was particularly famous for his “door god’s inverted painting” (that is, the door god’s strokes start from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head). At the same time, due to his painting skills, Mr. Huang Xingtai, a master of Chaoshan Astrology and Constellation, was highly valued by Mr. Huang Xingtai, and was admitted as a disciple of the family, teaching meritocratic academic mathematics and astronomy and calendar. After several years of becoming a teacher, the students have been studying hard for their grandfather’s lifelong studies, and they always find the essence and feel happy! Therefore, every day, there are endless people visiting and discussing skills, taking children to learn calligraphy and painting art, or asking questions and answering doubts. In the front hall and backyard of Yangchun Garden Music Hall, all disciples follow the teaching rules, learn skills, and be harmonious with static and dynamic. The disciples in the music hall are nearly 60 years old. My grandfather precepts: No high or low, no long or short. CinemaI heard that there are sequences of Taoism, and there are specialized skills in skills. A wise man should not “use his talents to judge his generation” or “use his skills to deceive him.” When learning art, you must first establish quality, know etiquette and righteousness, and be humble. Be kind to others is the foundation of being a human being, and being harmonious is the way to deal with the world. Only by being united and one’s heart and virtue can one make what one learns profound and profound.
▲A disciple of the disciple participated in the 1984 Shantou Island Summer Concert to perform the flute-set palace music “The Great Golden Lion”. Si Gu: Zheng Shufang
After studying, he was happy to get married.As a fellow student, Mr. Yang Guangquan of Shantou Opera School has discussed skills with his grandfather many times, and had a great conversation with each other. He worked together to inherit and develop excellent traditional music culture and always had a consensus on interviewing each other. While passing on his skills, he did not forget to collect and organize the folk information of Chaoyang Di sound set. It started in the 1960s and participated in the Babaylan Chaoyang Folk Music Research Group, often traveling to and from Chaoyang folk music clubs, collecting Komiks to organize and edit folk music materials. In the 1980s, Mr. Zheng Zhiwei of Chaole Research Office also visited the music hall for several months. Chaole Research Office scholars Zhuang Lizhu, Lin Shengmin and others visited many times. With the support and assistance of their grandfather, they discovered and sorted out folk materials. The proofreading and compiling Chaoyang flute musical scores and gongs and drum scores are used for systematic collection and organization. During this period, the music score was compiled by grandfather and rehearsed by his disciples. In 1984, the music score was performed by the flute-set palace music “Great Golden Lion”. In 1984, he participated in the “Shantou Summer Concert on the Touyi Island” and also participated in the new flute-set Su gong and drum “Autumn Night in the Fishing Island”, which was highly praised by the industry. The famous Chinese musicians Li Guyi, Jin Tielin and others who attended the meeting were amazed at the ancient music of the flute set after watching it. After the performance, various news media and Chinese meteorological singer Luo Tianchan invited each other to interview and report.
The teacher’s kindness is engraved for generations, and the ancestor’s virtue is for thousands of years! Grandfather’s enthusiasm and dedication to inheriting and promoting traditional music was not disappointed. The scene of teaching and educating people through my whole life is still vivid in my mind! The “Three Treasures of Folk Art in Chaoyang” praised it: “Accumulate virtue and respect goodness, teach art and teach people, is deeply loved by disciples, and can be called a role model for Chinese traditional culture.” Note: Hook, pick, put together, and wipe: fingering method of playing the guqin; “Remembering Old Friends”: The famous guqin song; Qia Gong: surnamed Zheng, name Yonghua, name, and name Qixian.
