Whoever came out with the battle.
In the past two years, the rise of new Chinese music, Oh Na has become the new favorite of folk music,
However, as early as twenty years ago, there was a young man who blew his head and became popular,
His familiar song "Rock Sugar Gourd" can be sung by almost everyone.
He is the initiator and founder of the new folk music Feng Xiaoquan,
He and his wife Zeng Gege were once called the golden children of the music world,
The duo's ensemble of "Heaven on Earth" made folk music popular from tradition.
In 1968, Feng Xiaoquan was born in Harbin into a musical family.
His father, Feng Yongxing, was a national first-class performer.
Since the age of 12, he has been learning traditional instruments such as flute and whistle.
Influenced by his father, Feng Xiaoquan has also been accompanied by music since childhood.
He grew up almost at the head of the song and dance troupe where his father worked, and began to learn to chant at the age of six.
Feng Xiaoquan also has a younger sister, learning guzheng,
The sound of various traditional musical instruments reverberates throughout the home.
When he was a child, Feng Xiaoquan was as playful as all children.
Although my father assigned practice lessons every day,
But he sometimes puts the villain book on his lap and blows it while reading it.
I don't even know what's blown out.
Father listened to the sound that was blown out of the sound, and followed the sound,
What followed was a beating.
But Feng Xiaoquan still found all kinds of excuses to be lazy,
Go to the toilet for a while, drink water for a while,
It's like a child who is tutored by his parents with homework.
Later, as Feng Xiaoquan grew up, the practice time given to him by his father increased to two hours a day.
Forcing him to practice enough every day before he can go out and play.
Feng Yongxing knows that practicing musical instruments must be hard work, but also need to practice persistently,
He knew that his son was competitive, so he thought of a way to beat his son's competitive spirit.
Every time someone in the family came, Feng Yongxing let his son play,
Without diligent practice, you can't cope with sudden performances,
Sometimes Feng Xiaoquan would blow a mess.
Without his father scolding, he himself felt humiliated,
Start working on it privately.
Under Feng Yongxing's various tricks, Feng Xiaoquan finally blew better and better,
Become the best among your peers and start the harvest of music awards.
When he was ten years old, Feng Xiaoquan was admitted to the Affiliated Middle School of the Conservatory of Music.
And won the first prize of the National Children's Music Competition,
It was also from this time that he began to like music from the bottom of his heart.
In Feng Xiaoquan's middle school years, he often followed the art troupe to perform all over the world.
Almost all the competitions in which I participated won the first place,
When other children are learning piano and violin,
Learning folk music, he is as precious as a single seedling.
At the age of 18, Feng Xiaoquan entered the Central Conservatory of Music without exams.
This is one of the best music schools in the country,
At the same time, the central voice came to a single seedling, the only girl who played the flute,
She was Zeng Gege, who was a year younger than Feng Xiaoquan.
Zeng Gege was born in Beijing, his original name was Zeng Zhaobin,
As you can see from the name, she is a Manchu, and she is a yellow flag.
The ancestors are relatives of the emperor and the state, and the authentic character is authentic.
Her growth experience is the same as Feng Xiaoquan's, but different,
The same thing is that both of them were also forced by their fathers to learn musical instruments.
The difference is that Zenggege's father missed the conservatory when he was young,
He put all his musical dreams on his daughter.
Zengge's uncle and aunt were both engaged in artistic work,
It brought her a good artistic influence, and her father brought strict discipline.
When she was a child, whenever she was lazy, or did not practice well,
My father immediately punched her palms, and once swollen her thumb.
At that time, Zeng Gege immediately cried, and as a result, she cried and cried and laughed,
Because your hands are swollen, you can rest for a few days and don't have to practice anymore.
Slightly older, Zeng Gege was sent to the Children's Palace,
At that time, there were not many children practicing traditional instruments.
Coupled with her good skills, she usually works a lot of hard work,
She quickly stood out from the crowd and the teacher helped her record a band.
In school, whenever there is a theatrical performance, Zeng Gege is a killer,
The school radio also played the music she played,
At that time, Zeng Gege felt the infinite glory brought to her by music.
Of course, playing the flute has also brought her special benefits,
When she measured her lung capacity in physical education class, her lung capacity was larger than that of boys.
As a result, she became the class leader.
Later, Zeng Gege was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music with the first place in the cultural class.
Became another precious student who inherited folk music,
Therefore, she met Feng Xiaoquan, who was one year older than her.
Maybe it's because of the similar growth experience of the two,
There is a common language, and the two are often accompanied by each other during college,
Participating in various performances together, they naturally came together later.
After graduation, the two entered the Central Chinese Orchestra.
Becoming a young folk music player is even more inseparable.
The two men are in their early twenties, not as thick as other folk music artists.
On the contrary, their bodies show the vitality and fashion of young people,
And they all want to make folk music popular again and attract more young people.
When he was in college, Feng Xiaoquan released his first solo album "The True Colors of Men".
He also personally participated in the creation of music.
This album has been widely recognized by the industry, but it has not become popular.
In 1995, a song "Ice Sugar Gourd" made Feng Xiaoquan popular all over the country.
When filming the MV of "Ice Sugar Gourd", Feng Xiaoquan also invited a group of drama giants to join,
Let the traditional cuisine with traditional culture, become popular music.
In those years, Feng Xiaoquan often dyed his blonde hair,
There is even a little bit of Korean star taste, a look of an idol singer.
In fact, Feng Xiaoquan's bones still flow with folk music,
He and Zengge often perform together,
Although the instruments of the two are traditional, the costume style and performance style are very fashionable.
Zeng Gege often painted the most popular makeup of the moment,
The clothes of the two have both traditional elements and modern fashion,
One person plays the flute, one person plays the whistle, the picture is stunning and penetrating.
Zeng Gege also brought the jade flute and jade flute that had been lost for thousands of years back to the stage.
And played Dunhuang ancient songs, suddenly making myths and legends and martial arts novels a reality.
They have opened a lot of performances together, and have performed abroad many times.
He has also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala many times, and has also played for foreign guests.
In October 2000, they had just finished attending the Singapore 'Dragon Phoenix Chengxiang' concert.
In November, he was invited by CCTV to South Africa to participate in a large-scale concert between China and Africa.
In September 2001, they performed at the Hong Kong Arts Centre.
In October, he came to Greece to participate in the 'Cheers for China Concert',
Later, he went to Cannes, France as a guest performer at the TV Festival.
In November, he went to Taipei and Hong Kong to participate in the China Love Tour.
For a few years, the folk music duo was either performing or on the way to the performance.
And all over the world, at the end of the world, their instruments sounded,
It's always refreshing for foreigners.
At that time, the most popular domestic husband and wife singing group was Ren Jing and Fu Disheng.
A song "Confidant and Lover" has become a must-have song for KTV male and female duets.
Feng Xiaoquan and Zeng Gege are the divine eagle heroes in the folk music industry.
It's just that their skills are superb, high and low, and it is really difficult to imitate.
In 2008, Feng Xiaoquan and Zeng Gege participated in the performance of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.
They were also selected as Fuwa Overseas Publicity Ambassadors, and specially created a set of Fuwa for them.
It can be seen that the two are representative of folk music and their overseas influence.
And the instrument they chose has a history of eight thousand years,
This set of Fuwa is also in the permanent collection of the Olympic Committee.
Feng Xiaoquan and Zeng Gege, the gods and immortals, made folk music popular,
They not only actively disseminate folk music, but also create many folk music albums.
The two ensembles of "Heaven on Earth" and "Autumn Water And Heavenly Length" are classics,
It is also a teaching model of the Conservatory of Music, and it is also very popular with foreign friends.
Among them, "Heaven on Earth" uses four kinds of musical instruments vertical flute, hole flute, wooden bowl and bamboo flute,
Combined with four instruments, it is majestic and flexible.
Such a combination not only requires the creator's high musical literacy,
It also requires the two to be familiar with various musical instruments.
The two once performed this tune on a spring evening,
During the dazzling conversion of skilled instruments,
Once again, it proves the deep boyhood of the two.
With flutes and whistles, they traveled all over the country and in various countries.
During this period, they also formed a happy family and gave birth to a son Feng Tianyi.
The name is taken from the two people's collaborative album "The World Is One",
It was at that time that Xiao Tianyi arrived.
After the birth of the son, it is not a family of three,
But the most popular 421 families in China, grandparents, grandparents have come to help,
The minds of the three generations were all concentrated on Xiao Tianyi.
Grandpa and grandpa were very strict,
Whether it is Feng Xiaoquan or Zeng Gege, they are musical talents who are managed by sticks.
However, when it comes to the grandchildren, the next generation is particularly close, and all kinds of spoiling,
Even sometimes Feng Xiaoquan will be criticized by his father for teaching his son.
Later, after Feng Xiaoquan and Zeng Gege consulted,
Decided to educate his son in his own way,
First of all, we must establish the majesty of the father in the family, and not let the old man interfere too much,
Secondly, it is definitely not like forcing children to learn music as they did when they were young.
Rather, it is about developing a child's interest in music.
And although both are public figures, they are very protective of their sons,
Never let his son appear in front of the media, and rarely let his son watch their performances,
So much so that the son didn't even know that he had a recording studio at home.
But Xiao Tianyi still inherited the musical talent that lasted for three generations,
From a young age, the sense of music was very good, and he showed his sense of music when he could not speak,
When he was put on the piano, he would react differently depending on the notes he heard.
When he was a little older, Feng Xiaoquan specially invited a teacher from the Conservatory of Music to teach him to play the piano.
Xiao Tianyi also began the life of learning musical instruments from an early age like his parents.
But Feng Xiaoquan and Gege didn't want their son to be as boring as when he was a child.
They often motivate their sons by making games.
For example, sometimes Feng Xiaoquan will deliberately play the wrong thing,
Tian Yi could hear it immediately, and then ran over to correct it.
When his son played the piano, Gege also specially made some cartoon scenes to match the rhythm,
Enhance your child's imagination of music.
Of course, Xiao Tianyi sometimes practices very boringly,
He would ask his parents what music was and why they wanted to learn it.
Feng Xiaoquan told him that music can heal people's hearts,
When Mom and Dad quarrel, we don't argue as soon as you play the piano.
This is the healing power of music.
This is probably the most beautiful and romantic explanation for music,
It also made Xiao Tianyi fall in love with music.
As their son grew up, Feng Xiaoquan and Gege began to take him to the show.
The son not only inherited a good sense of music, but also a good voice,
The appearance of a family of three singing on the same stage is very warm.
Today, Feng Xiaoquan and his wife are still active on the stage.
The two of them often attend some performances and post photos on Weibo.
In their leisure time, the couple will often travel and share their happy life with netizens.
Except for music, their family of three is like all families,
Mom is responsible for fashion and beauty, son and dad are responsible for obedience and praise,
From the school uniform to the wedding dress, the husband and wife have never been rumored for more than twenty years.
Become a good story in the music world.
Nowadays, more and more people like folk music,
But few people remember the original "Chinese Folk Song" and "Rock Sugar Gourd",
Forget even more about Feng Xiaoquan and Zeng Gege, the immortal couple,
I hope their son will inherit this musical talent,
Bring more familiar and good works.
