A Bing (1893- 1950), a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, is a folk musician. Formerly known as Hua, it is his nickname. When A Bing was in his twenties, he suffered from eye diseases and went blind one by one. From then on, people called him blind A Bing. I studied music with my father Hua (Taoist) since I was a child. A Bing's musical achievements were originally based on Taoist music, but also on family traditions. Taoist music is mostly non-religious folk music, and many of them are unchanging folk songs. After A Bing became blind, he began to make a living by singing. He never seems to be begging for mercy. He struggled in darkness and poverty for decades. His feelings about the painful life are reflected in his music, not because of the hardships and hardships of life. On the contrary, his music reveals a healthy and deep breath from the bottom of the people. He studied all kinds of folk music extensively, and was able to break away from narrow study and imitation, and create and play all kinds of instrumental music according to his own feelings about real life. A Bing condensed his life into immortal works, such as Two Springs Reflecting the Moon. During his lifetime, he left behind audio materials such as pipa, big waves and sand washing, Zhaojun levee, dragon boat, Erhuqu, Spring Breeze and Tingsong, which are valuable heritages in China's music treasure house. His works are permeated with the essence of traditional music, expressing his deep feelings about real life, touching people's hearts and full of artistic vitality. 1950 included six pieces of music he played, which were collected by the Folk Music Institute of the Central Conservatory of Music and compiled into A Bing Music Collection.

Representative works: A Bing * * left three erhu works, such as two springs reflecting the moon and listening to the cold spring breeze, and three pipa works, such as big waves washing sand, dragon boat and Zhaojun levee. Among them, "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" won the 20th Century Chinese Classical Music Award.

A: The second spring reflects the moon: Wuxi Huishan Er Quan enjoys the reputation of "the second spring in the world" and is a place that A Bing often goes to. He played the song "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon", which described the old scene in his imagination with music. It's beautiful, but it's a thing of the past. What he felt at that time was only darkness, which made him always reveal a sad mood in the beautiful melody.

B: Song Ting: The music tells the story of Yue Fei, a great patriotic general in Song Dynasty, who led a volunteer staff sergeant in the Great Patriotic War. In the middle of this song, A Bing pinned his feelings for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory. Music has a distinct and strong personality, and the introduction is broad and grand. The first, second and third paragraphs are full of extraordinary artistic conception and structure, which successfully express the courage of struggle and the assurance of victory. A Bing used the old and middle strings on the erhu, and the sound was very strong.

Cold Spring Breeze: This is A Bing's Erhu Opera. The song describes the spring with a hundred flowers and a cold wind. From the music itself, people feel the heavy sigh of depression and the infinite yearning for light.

D: Big waves wash sand: According to A Bing's statement before his death, this piece was originally an ensemble of Taoist Sanskrit, and he played it on the pipa, adding pipa techniques. This song was recorded by Mr. Yang, Mr. Cao An and Mr. Cao An. The structure of the music is compact, * * * is divided into three sections, and the musical mood develops from the initial deep sadness to lively and powerful, and finally ends with optimistic and confident music.

E: Dragon Boat: It was originally a popular pipa tune. The performance of pipa in the music is to imitate the drums and songs on the dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival folk competition. At the beginning is a model drum, and in the middle is a drama fragment. Each paragraph is a folk song or instrumental tune, and there is a part that imitates the Luo drum between paragraphs.

F: Zhao Jun leaves the village: This is a pipa music handed down by his father Hua, which has nothing in common with Zhao Jun's "Hatred" and "Village Song".
