Mr. Feng Zikai is a modern painter, essayist and art educator. The first time I learned about Feng Zikai was from his comics. Humorous comics such as "Zhan Zhan's Bicycle" have unique styles and are deeply loved by people. This summer, I read the book "Youth Music and Art Stories". In the book, Mr. Feng Zikai described the story of his childhood learning music and art. There are a lot of interesting things here.

During the winter vacation, my father’s friend Mr. Lu came to visit me. Mr. Lu brought two harmonicas and his own book "Harmonica Playing Method" to teach Feng Zikai how to play the harmonica. Mr. Lu believes that to learn to play the harmonica, you must first learn how to use it, understand the principles, and integrate your own feelings into it. Feng Zikai and his sister practiced hard and soon mastered the skills and were able to play beautiful music.

On a long and quiet afternoon, Feng Zikai was attracted by the beautiful music in the alley. He looked out the window and saw that it was an old man selling flutes playing the flute. The sound was melodious and very pleasant. It's really unexpected that the sound produced by an ordinary bamboo pipe can be so moving. The curious Feng Zikai couldn't resist the temptation in his heart, so he bought a flute. Uncle Wang, the gatekeeper, can actually play tunes on his bamboo flute. When Feng Zikai was surprised, his father told him the story of the magic flute. The appeal of music is so great!

On the eve of Children’s Day, Feng Zikai and his younger brother made “potato prints”. At first, it was just an inadvertent action by his younger brother that inspired Feng Zikai to make prints with potatoes. Later, together with Hua Ming, they used a knife to carve patterns and text on the potato, dipped it in paint, and then rubbed it onto paper to become a potato print. So they used "Yao Prints" as Children's Day gifts. It can be seen how important inspiration is to painting.

Especially in the short article "Songs of Ear Plants", Feng Zikai described his father's teachings to him: "Music is not entirely a pleasure, and it is not always accompanied by interest. In the future, The practice period before graduation is more difficult than practicing English and mathematics, requiring more effort and patience. In life, pain and joy must be accompanied, and they are proportional. "Based on my experience of learning piano, this passage is particularly meaningful. Learning any subject or art requires perseverance and perseverance. no pain no gain. Piano practice is more boring, monotonous and boring. Only by being down-to-earth, taking one step at a time, and practicing basic skills in a down-to-earth manner will you reap the joy of success.
