On July 8th, Fang Jinlong, a Chinese music artist, musical instrument collector and representative of contemporary five-stringed pipa, walked into the New Era Civilization Practice Station of Panyu Shawan Ancient Town to give a vivid Chinese music lesson to the local people.
A wonderful lecture on the popularization of Chinese music knowledge and pipa demonstration, a wonderful commentary on the live performance of the local school student orchestra, and an exchange and interaction with foreign music fans...... In the Shawan Guangdong Music Center, a small new era civilization practice station, Fang Jinlong interacted with local Cantonese music fans, and a wonderful Cantonese music classic melody flowed out.
Crossing the "boundary of one wall", the "Art and Art Classroom" introduces high-quality cultural supply to the province's grassroots new era civilization practice center, and becomes a "gas station" for the spiritual and cultural life of the masses. This issue of "Art and Art Classroom" is guided by the Guangdong Provincial Spiritual Civilization Construction Office and the Guangzhou Spiritual Civilization Construction Office, and hosted by the Panyu District Spiritual Civilization Construction Office, Nanfang Daily, Nanfang + Client, Panyu District New Era Civilization Practice Center, and Panyu District Shawan Sub-district Office.
Shawan's "ten-fingered pipa" is a world-class business card
"Falling in love with Chinese music, young people's national cultural self-confidence arises spontaneously." In recent years, Chinese music players represented by Fang Jinlong have frequently become popular, and Chinese music has a large number of young fans.
Fang Jinlong, who is on an international tour in Paris and other places, came to the New Era Civilization Practice Station in Shawan Ancient Town, Panyu this time to give a lecture, and he called it a meaningful "root-seeking trip".
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the water and soil of Shawan in Panyu gave birth to the pioneer of Cantonese music, He Bozhong, and the famous Cantonese music artists such as He Liutang, He Younian, and He Shaoxia, who were known as the "Three Masters of the He Family......
"Shawan is the birthplace of Cantonese music and a world-class cultural business card worth polishing!" In the lecture, Fang Jinlong shared that the four generations of the "He family" have achieved classic works of an era in China, and when they think of Cantonese music, they will think of "Dragon Race to Win the Championship", "Rain Hitting Basho", "Peacock Opening" and so on. "Where there are Chinese, there is Cantonese music, and Cantonese music spreads all over the world through Chinese musicians."
In Fang Jinlong's view, the "wonderful" of Cantonese music can be divided into three levels: the point is the pipa, the music particles of "big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate" are crisp, and Shawan is famous for the "ten-finger pipa" technique; The line is the characteristic of Gaohu, and Mr. Lu Wencheng of Zhongshan is the representative figure; The surface is a collaboration of Cantonese music five heads.
Historically, He Bozhong created the Lingnan style of "ten-finger pipa" technique, which is known as the "Pipa King". According to legend, he was in a rain in early summer, with the skillful "ten-finger pipa" technique, composed a song "rain hitting the pipa", and He Younian even learned this technique, known as "pipa essence".
"He Bozhong, the originator of Cantonese music in Shawan, features ten-finger pipa playing, which is Shawan's unique business card." Fang Jinlong told everyone that the pipa has been introduced to China from the two river basins through the Silk Road for more than 2,000 years, and it is the king of musical instruments in the Middle East in Arabia, and it is called the lute in Europe, and it has become a popular guitar in Spain.
"Pipa is a product of the Belt and Road Initiative and the best embodiment of a community with a shared future for mankind." Fang Jinlong said that Shawan Ancient Town not only preserves many historical buildings, but also Guangdong music is still "alive" here. Therefore, he expects that Shawan will hold the World Pipa Art Festival in the future, and make Shawan music famous in the world.
At the scene, Fang Jinlong interacted with the local mass orchestra. The students of Shawan Yucai Primary School brought a Cantonese music five-head "Rain Hitting Basho", the students of Fanghua Chinese Music brought a performance of "Thunder on a Dry Day", and the five-string pipa ensemble of Guzheng students from Guangdong Vocational College of Foreign Languages and Arts and young teachers and students of Fanghua Chinese Music played "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon...... Fang Jinlong commented one by one, and personally demonstrated the performance, teaching fans the experience of "painting in the sound and sound in the painting" to the music fans.
We look forward to the formation of the Bay Area Chinese Orchestra to promote mutual learning among civilizations
How to use music to promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and convey the concept and value of a community with a shared future for mankind? Fang Jinlong, who positions himself as a "Chinese music walker", has traveled all over the world with traditional Chinese music in recent years, and has received nearly 100 million traffic in a "flash mob" performance video under the Eiffel Tower in Paris. He has cross-border dialogues with musicians from all over the world, allowing Chinese music to gain a large number of fans overseas.
On the same day, the "Art and Art Class" also welcomed several special foreign music fans, and the musician Ami from Ukraine came to bring Fang Jinlong a "surprise gift" - a didgeridoo made by himself. This is an ancient musical instrument of the Australian Aboriginal tribe, and through the change of playing style, the long wind pipe can produce music sounds of different timbres and rhythms.
Ami told everyone that he had watched Mr. Fang Jinlong's performance on Station B many years ago, and he has been a fan of Mr. Fang since then. At the scene, Fang Jinlong and Ami came to an impromptu ensemble.
Fang Jinlong told everyone that he was creating a "Jinlong Bay District Chinese Orchestra". "I hope to attract the best Chinese music musicians from Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Foshan and other Greater Bay Area, and at the same time invite musicians from all over the world to join us, integrate and co-create in the Greater Bay Area, and connect the world with music." Fang Jinlong said.
