The beautiful lake water is astonishing to the Hong Kong Hou Fairy
Three years ago, as the sun set, an antique boat floated slowly on the lake in the Xiuhu Wetland Park in Bishan District, Chongqing , there is a beautiful woman sitting on the bow of the boat holding a harp in her arms. She is seen gently plucking the strings with her hands, and the sweet and lively sound is like the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the gurgling of streams, the surging wind and the waves crashing on the shore. The moving melody and astonishing beauty attracted tens of thousands of tourists to Xiuhu Park to search for the fairy. For a time, the huge Tianzi Bridge was crowded with people. People looked at each other on the shore of Xiuhu Lake, stretching their necks and widening their eyes to look. During the filming, the circle of friends of Chongqing citizens was instantly overwhelmed by the fairy weapon on the dark water.
This mysterious fairy who astonished the heavens and humans by playing the harp is none other than Hu Yanxi, the inheritor of the Chongqing teaching staff of "Lu Lu Haru Harvest". Many locals say that the scene of Hu Yanxi sitting on the bow of a boat playing the piano is one of the most beautiful and beautiful scenery in Chongqing. The painted boat that Hu Yanxi rode on was tailor-made for her, and it was even more beautiful when paired with the beauty Xianle. As the only talent who can play the konghou in Bishan, Chongqing, Hu Yanxi is lucky and reasonable to be selected by the government to participate in long-term charity performances.
Now, three years later, Hu Yanxi has made new achievements on the road of inheriting and promoting Chinese culture. To protect intangible cultural heritage and integrate it into a better life, Chongqing Xiuhu Water Street International Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft Town has successfully signed a contract with Hu Yanxi, the inheritor of Lu Lu, the leader of Chinese harp harp, who will use Xiuhu Water Street International Intangible Cultural Heritage Craftsmanship The main position of cultural heritage in a characteristic town is to create a "Xiyin Palace" with the connotation of traditional cultural heritage that integrates the teaching of ancient musical instruments such as harp and harp, Chinese aesthetic clothing design, and the operation of characteristic B&Bs.

Hu Yanxi not only popularized the harp in the local area Culture, and even attracted many foreign tourists to come here to appreciate it. A piece of harp music spans ancient and modern times, and spans thousands of years, echoing in the blue waves of Xiu Lake in the mountain city. "Ride through the Phoenix Palace and pay homage to the Luan Palace. The emperor sees you once a day. The princes, generals and prime ministers stand up to greet you, and the sound of your voice changes every day." The great poet Gu Kuang of the Tang Dynasty described the highly sought-after harp harp again today. From ancient times to the present, people's love for the konghou cannot be hidden. The ancients "spend a lot of money to buy one." Today, even if there are huge crowds of people on the bridge and by the lake, they will try their best to get closer to have a look. "The Harvest Fairy" has made all the audience look forward to it, and the finale performance is always the biggest expectation in everyone's heart. Hu Yanxi has become a unique artistic business card of Chongqing, showing the elegance and refinement of this mountain city.
As the founder of "Qinzheng Tianxia", Hu Yanxi has been engaged in the guzheng training industry for more than ten years. She has established multiple branches in Chengdu and Chongqing and trained more than 1,000 students. Speaking of her relationship with Kong Hou, Hu Yanxi felt that this was a predestined arrangement. The first time I learned about the word "箜篌" came from the Tang Dynasty poet Li He's "Li Ping Konghou Yin": "Wu Si, Shutong and Zhang Gaoqiu, the empty mountain condenses with clouds. Jiang E sings about the sorrow of the bamboos, and Li Ping plays Chinese The harp. The broken jade phoenix of Kunshan screams, the hibiscus weeps and the fragrant orchid smiles. The cold light melts in front of the twelve doors, and the twenty-three strings move the purple emperor..." The harp music constructed by this poem is like a mythical world, which makes people feel like they are in a flowery dream. among. After reading this poem for the first time, Hu Yanxi, who has been studying guzheng and loves classical folk music, suddenly felt a sense of longing and expectation in her heart. The seeds of the "harp harp dream" were so planted, silently waiting for an opportunity and platform for it to break ground. And emerged, took root and sprouted. At an exchange meeting, Hu Yanxi overheard her classmates talking about the harp harp. During the conversation, she mentioned the "national treasure harp harp performer" Teacher Lu Lu. Teacher Lu Lu had made great contributions to the inheritance and development of the harp harp. Hu Yanxi's unremitting efforts and her youthful years were dedicated to the great revitalization of the ancient and mysterious instrument, the harp, which made Hu Yanxi feel admiration in her heart. Subsequently, Hu Yanxi began to deliberately collect various historical materials to understand the historical origin of the harp, its rise and fall over thousands of years, and its vigorous development after its modern revival.
Hu Yanxi and his mentor Lu Lu
During the heydays of ancient my country, such as the Han and Tang Dynasties, the konghou, as a "heavenly music", exuded star-like brilliance in the peaceful and prosperous times, but had no choice but to decline with the decline of the dynasty. It is gradually lost and forgotten in the corner of history. The harp was extinct for nearly 300 years after it was lost in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Since the 1930s, after more than 80 years of hard work by three generations of Chinese musicians and musical instrument makers, the modern new harp has been improved and perfected and reborn. After the contemporary revival of the harp, its beautiful and elegant appearance, heavenly sound, and the elegant and comfortable posture of the player are all deeply fascinating. The charm of this ancient musical instrument has once again radiated dazzling brilliance in the new era. In today's prosperous China, the harp has once again become a national treasure and a must-have piece of music for major national events and diplomatic etiquette. Honghou is riding the east wind of the times, and with the efforts of countless Honghou people, it has echoed in the world across thousands of years.
After understanding the elegance and mystery of Konghou, and being impressed by the strength and charm of Teacher Lu Lu, Hu Yanxi decided to let the "Dream of Konghou" that had been hidden in her heart for many years take root, and rushed from Chongqing to Beijing to become "Lu Lu". "Honghou" is a member of the National Teacher Education and Training Base. As an authentic southern girl, Hu Yanxi deeply remembers the biting and icy wind when she first arrived in Beijing. However, no matter how strong the north wind is, it can't extinguish the fire in her heart. Being able to study the konghou under Teacher Lu Lu is a blessing. What a great honor. Hu Yanxi was completely convinced when she heard Teacher Lu Lu's playing for the first time. The sound was like the sound of a mountain stream and the ringing of bells. The ethereal sound reminded people of the orchid in the valley, and the ancient sound was like a royal palace. The wind among the colorful clouds... made people intoxicated and obsessed. From that moment on, she understood that even if she faced mountains of swords and seas of fire in the future, it would not be able to stop her pursuit and love for the harp.

Hard work pays off. With Hu Yanxi’s unremitting efforts, she is working towards her dream of promoting the konghou in Sichuan and Chongqing, little by little. Moving forward, she wants the ancient sound of this mysterious instrument that has traveled through thousands of years to resound throughout Sichuan and Chongqing.
