The big drums of those years

author:San'in Kodo

In 1991, at the age of 15, Wang Hui held his own drum music special in Tianjin, where famous artists gathered and the grand event was unprecedented. Six years later, she was already in love with Tianjin Wei. Surprisingly, the other party was an unknown little black fat man, ugly and poor, and with a drag oil bottle. Of course, he was opposed by relatives and friends, but Wang Hui completely ignored his beauty and talent, and even if he stole the household registration book, he had to marry him. Later, in order to support this soil fertilizer circle, he also sold his jewelry and car, and after several winds and rains, the clouds opened the moon. Yes, that little black fat man is Guo Degang, dragging oil bottles, naturally it is Guo Qilin.

Wang Hui's Jingyun drum originated in Cangzhou and Hejian areas, and was later transmitted to Beijing and Tianjin, and was improved by Liu Baoquan several times, changing the Hebei vocal cavity to a Beijing tone, and creating a new singing voice. As an actor who came from Peking Opera and changed to singing the big drum because of a mistake on stage, Liu Baoquan cherished his career. A lifetime of tobacco and alcohol do not stick, diet regular rations, stewed beef also to take the meat out, pot side dishes have been very luxurious. Every night before going to sleep, cut a slice of snowflake pear and hold it in your mouth to remove the lung fire. This Puritan self-discipline also enabled him to be able to play in the bass even when he was over seventy years old. Not only can he control the Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin of the Golden Iron Horse, but also deduce the West Wing and the Red Chamber of the children's tenderness. Its strong limelight and huge influence live up to the reputation of "king of the drum world". Mr. Liu's representative works are numerous and his singing degree is extremely high. Not only has he achieved great success, but he has also cultivated a large number of excellent drum artists. Bai Fengming, the founder of the Shaobai Sect, one of the four major schools in the Jingyun Drum, is his high foot. Most of the drum artists came from humble backgrounds, but Mr. Bai was a true relative of the emperor and the state - his wife was Puyi's sister-in-law. It's just that at that time, the noble Ai Xinjue Luo clan had changed his surname to Jin Yi. The reason why it is called the Shaobai Sect is because there is another Bai Yunpeng who is the same generation as Liu Baoquan, who is already in front of the pearl jade, and Wang Hui is the fourth generation of the White Sect. The fifth generation of the White Sect has produced a rising star, and the famous little braided Child Zhang Yunlei is also.

Just as the comic cannot be separated from the praise, the actor cannot be separated from the string master. Liu Baoquan's string master Han Yonglu was of course the one who held the bull's ear among the string masters, but the two were still cracked. The reason for the cracks in the masters of art is also the intolerability of the vulgar - uneven distribution. After leaving Liu Baoquan, Han Yonglu took in a female apprentice, whose real name was Luo Yusheng and whose stage name was Xiaocai Dance, of course, at that time, they did not know that this girl would have another name in the future - the Golden Voice Drum King.

Like Liu Baoquan, Luo Yusheng also had experience in Peking Opera, and at the age of nine, she performed on the same stage with Meng Xiaodong, a famous Peking Opera singer, and was quite favored by the Winter Emperor. After studying with Han Yonglu, the drum music achievements improved by leaps and bounds, and three years later, he played against Liu Baoquan as a theater organizer. After learning that Luo Yusheng quietly entered his theater to watch the performance, Liu Baoquan deliberately added a large number of gadges, one to prevent being stolen, and the other to lay out a puzzle. The agitation caused by this confrontation scene is not much compared to the fight between Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu. It was a glittering era.

In 1985, the CCTV adaptation of the TV series "Four Generations Together" was released, and the theme song "Reorganizing the Mountains and Rivers for Future Life" was sung by the 73-year-old Mr. Luo. Although he is more than a year old, he has a steady style and a clear vocal cavity, and can still flip from low 5 tones to high 5 tones. As soon as the golden voice opened, time flowed against the current, "Sword Pavilion Smelling Bell", upside down sentient beings.

There are many kinds of drum songs, and the only one that can compete with the Jingyun big drum is the Xihe big drum. Although it also originates in the hebei river area, this river refers to the Daqing River and Ziya River in Tianjin. Because after the river flowed to Tianjin, it was particularly popular in these two river areas, and this area was collectively known as the West River in Tianjin. Drum music was first performed by folk artists in the form of rushing to temple fairs and stalls, and the singing method was simple. The artist has two steel plates in his left hand and a drumstick in his right hand, accompanied by a three-string accompaniment. There are two forms of playing, storytelling and singing. Storytelling is singing while talking, and singing is not white. The main schools are Zhu Pai (Zhu Hualin), Wang Pai (Wang Genyuan), Li Pai (Li Dequan), and Zhao Pai (Zhao Yufeng). Looking at Guo Degang's cross-talk, I think he prefers the Xihe drum, and his singing sections such as "Baqiao Pick Robe", "Coal Mountain Hate", "Zuo Lian Cheng's Complaint" and other singing sections, singing in a gentle voice, full of charm, always stunning the audience, people have to sigh this little black fat man of that year for the proficiency and enthusiasm of traditional music.

There are still iron drums, plum blossom drums, pear blossom drums and Northeast drums, and the Beijing Qinshu is also a variant of the drum song, and there is a famous representative figure Guan Xuezeng in the qinshu, who has a precious granddaughter , the national girlfriend Guan Xiaotong.
