At the beginning of the last century, there were three famous luthiers in the Peking Opera industry, one was Mei Yutian, Mei Lanfang's uncle; One is Sun Zuochen, known as Sun Laoyuan; The other is Chen Yanheng, known as Chen Twelfth Master. Mei Yutian, Sun Laoyuan, we don't need to say, the piano is superb and enjoys a reputation. Just to say that this Chen Yanheng Chen Twelfth Master, that is also very amazing, he is self-taught, superb piano skills, six times transparent, once accompanied the king of the Lingjie world Tan Xinpei for many years, deeply won the old Tan faction of three ambiguities, deeply relied on by Boss Tan.

The old student Taidou Yu Shuyan, worshipped Big Boss Tan as a teacher, but Big Boss Tan was busy, there was no time to teach Yu Shuyan more, Yu Shuyan asked Chen Yanheng Chen Twelve, who had been accompaniment to Old Tan for many years, for advice. And Chen Twelve Ye is also enthusiastic to teach, pouring out his money, and strongly guiding and promoting Mr. Yu Shuyan, successively teaching Mr. Yu Shuyan's Lao Tan School drama "Clinking Glasses", "Lost Empty Chopping", "Qionglin Banquet", "Catching and Releasing Cao", "Lianying Village", "Hongyang Cave", "Search for Orphans and Rescue Orphans", "Sangyuan Sending Son", "Wu Penji", "Wujiapo", "Fenhe Bay", "Throne Broken Arm", "Selling Horses", "Drumming and Scolding Cao", "Shilang Visiting Mother", "War Taiping", "Dingjun Mountain" and more than 20 other plays, so Yu Shuyan's acting skills have made great progress and his reputation has grown, and finally made Yu Shuyan a generation of grandmasters of Peking Opera , founded the remnants of Peking Opera art.

In addition, Chen Twelve Ye did not teach and promote the Yan Jupeng of the top four Xusheng of Peking Opera. Yan Jupeng is a Tan fan. After Tan Xinpei passed away, Yan Jupeng found Chen Twelve, followed Chen Twelfth Master to learn the old Tan school opera for three years, and finally basically mastered some of the singing skills of the old Tan school. In 1924, Mei Lanfang performed in Shanghai, and Yan Jupeng performed as a second-card veteran, accompanied by Chen Yanheng, which was a hit. Since then, Chen Twelfth Master has given Yan Jupeng a lot of guidance. In the last century, Mr. Yan Jupeng recorded many records, all accompanied by Mr. Chen Yanheng.
In addition, the famous Peking Opera Kunsheng Meng Xiaodong did not ask Chen Yanheng Chen Twelve Ye for advice on the art of Tan School singing. Meng Xiaodong later worshipped Yu Shuyan as a teacher, and it was on the basis of his learning of the Tan School from Mr. Chen Yanheng. In addition, Mr. Chen Yanheng has also coached Wang Youchen, Wang Junzhi, Wang Yutian and other famous Peking Opera actors.
In addition, Mr. Chen Yanheng is also a holy hand of huqin, a holy hand of flute, and is proficient in drumming, and the luthiers and drummers who have been guided by Mr. Chen Yanheng include Kang Zihe, Qiao San, Li Peiqing, Gao Liankui, Yang Baozhong and so on.
Peking opera famous luthier: Yang Baozhong
Mr. Chen Yanheng was born in 1868, more than 10 years younger than Lao Tan, but he dared to criticize Lao Tan to his face, and Lao Tan was not able to say anything. It turned out that once a record company asked Lao Tan to make a record and gave 5,000 oceans, but all the accompaniments had to be found by themselves. In order to fatten the water and not flow to outsiders, Lao Tan did not invite a famous luthier outside to accompany him, but let his second son, who had an average level of accompaniment, accompany him, and the result of the recorded record was greatly reduced. Now we listen to some of Lao Tan's record recordings, and the accompaniment is indeed a mess. After Mr. Chen Yanheng learned about this, he criticized Lao Tan in person, saying, you have sung all your life, famous at the epicenter, everyone said that you don't learn Tan, you leave a few films for future generations, it's not good to plan well, make the best effect..., you are reluctant to spend money, you find me, I don't want to pay you for your accompaniment. Speaking of Lao Tan's face was hot, a little embarrassed, the strange feeling was not tasteful, red face and shrugged his head, regretting it was too late..., so he had to lower his head and not say anything.
