I studied music with my father Hua since childhood. Chinese Taoist priests are recognized as wizards in the local Taoist music scene. A Bing's musical achievements were originally based on Taoist music and family heirlooms. Taoist music is mostly non-religious folk music, and many of them are unchanging folk songs. After A Bing's eyes changed, he was not welcomed by the rich vegetarian, so he had to leave this door and start singing for a living. In Wuxi, a person wearing sunglasses, with sheng, flute, pipa and other musical instruments hanging on his chest and back, and a huqin in his hand, is A Bing.
A Bing lives purely by singing. He never seemed to beg 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. A Bing condensed his life into immortal works, such as Two Springs Reflecting the Moon. After liberation, when the people's government sent people to care about him and arrange his music works, he couldn't get what he wanted and suddenly vomited blood and died.
A Bing * * * left three erhu works, such as Two Springs Reflecting the Moon, Listening to Pines and Cold Spring Breeze, and three pipa works, such as Big Waves and Sand Washing, Dragon Boat and Zhaojun's Sailing. Among them, Two Springs Reflecting the Moon won the 20th Century Chinese Classical Music Award.
Two Springs Reflecting 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 didn't play the song "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" until he was blind. This song described the beautiful scenery he witnessed in the old society with the image of music, but what he felt at that time was darkness, which made him always reveal a sad mood in the melodious melody.
Listening to music: Music describes the story of Yue Fei, a great patriotic general in Song Dynasty, who led the 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 timbre was particularly strong.
Cold Spring Breeze: This is another erhu song by A Bing. I said it was the lost Sanskrit of Taoism, and the result of Mr. Yang's research was his own work. From the title of the song, it describes the cold wind blowing in spring, and from the music itself, people feel the heavy sigh of depression and the infinite yearning for light.
Big waves wash sand: According to A Bing before his death, this piece was originally an ensemble of Taoist Sanskrit, and he played it on the pipa, adding pipa skills. 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.
Dragon Boat: 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.
Zhao Jun went out to the fortress: This is a pipa music handed down by his father Hua, which is not similar to Zhao Jun's resentment and Song of the fortress.
