This post-95 "guzheng girl", shuttled through the streets of France, dressed in Hanfu, sitting in front of the kite, trembling, pressing, sliding, rubbing, this kind of jianghu arrogance, this chivalrous style, she is like the heroine of the martial arts novel who plays the guqin and runs through the rivers and lakes.
"In the 'jianghu world' of the West, playing songs full of oriental chivalry in Hanfu made me feel the interesting collision between cultures!" She said.
The girl's name is Peng Jingxuan, netizens like to call her "Peng Peng", and she is currently a graduate student in musicology at the University of Bordeaux III in France. In addition to studying, she often performed near the Grand Theater of Bordeaux, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the Seine River. Peng Jingxuan also posted a video of herself playing guzheng on the street to Douyin, which gained 9.043 million fans and the video received 110 million likes.
The first time she played on the street, she was nervous. Unexpectedly, more and more foreigners stopped to watch and admire, and some people mistakenly thought that she was Korean and Japanese. So she simply put on Hanfu and chose "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Big Fish" and other pieces with Chinese style characteristics to play.
Slowly, Peng Jingxuan found that foreigners prefer fast-paced music with a sense of foresight, and she integrated more bamboo flute, pipa, and erhu elements into the arrangement. In the performance, Chinese aesthetics and Chinese expressions are everywhere.
Now, she sometimes plays the tender "Rain Breaks Jiangnan", and sometimes plays the rhythmic "Ten Faces Ambush".
In addition, she also reinterpreted Famous Western songs and two-dimensional music with guzheng, such as "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Digimon"...
She constantly experimented with various styles of music, setting no limits on herself. In the praise of foreign friends, each of them is beautiful, the beauty is shared, and the beauty of traditional Chinese music and the beauty of traditional Chinese musical instruments are fully displayed.
The ancient oriental culture bloomed in the West, whether it was Peng Jingxuan's performance or dress, it deeply amazed the French people and made her gain a lot of foreign fans.
After listening to her performance, a Frenchman ran over to her and said, "I have never been to China, but after listening to the music you played, I seem to see the world of lofty mountains and swords and swords. ”
Everyone listened to Peng Jingxuan's performance on YouTube and also left messages under the video: "This little boy and his mother were shocked and deeply intoxicated." "Wearing Hanfu and playing traditional Chinese instruments is my goal." ......
"The real thing about a work of art is not the technical level, but the unskilled part, which is empathy, and everyone can understand your joys and sorrows." Peng Jingxuan said.
According to Peng Jingxuan, when she was a little girl, she had a different affection for traditional Chinese music.
"Once you enter the piano door, it is as deep as the sea.". In order to become a great musician, at the age of 15, she began her own dream journey. Starting from his hometown, Huaihua to Wuhan to Bordeaux, France, Peng Jingxuan moved towards the goal step by step.
Peng Jingxuan's signature on Douyin reads: "The national is the world." ”
The experience of studying in a foreign country and the long-term guzheng performance on the streets of France have made her more and more able to understand the beauty of folk music, which has made her have a sense of historical responsibility for promoting Chinese culture.
As a young generation, Peng Jingxuan said that he is glad that he lives in a new era of vigor and can spread the beauty of Chinese culture more confidently.
"Today's young people are more of a heads-up view of Western culture, just like I just started playing guzheng on the street, but I just don't want to waste my 19 years of dedication to guzheng, without any utilitarian ideas, but I have unexpected gains."
Talking about the future, Peng Jingxuan said that he hopes that some attempts at cultural integration will make more people fall in love with traditional Chinese culture and show the beauty of China to the world!
