Who can tell the story of A Bing and Erquan reflecting the moon?

(1893- 1950): Formerly known as Hua, a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, a folk musician.

1893 Aug 17 A Bing was born in Yihe Mountain Residence next to Leizun Temple in Wuxi. His father Hua Qinghe (no. Xue Mei) is a Taoist in the Leizun Hall of Xudong Palace in Wuxi. His mother Qin was born in a peasant family and married to the Qin family. Shortly after the marriage, she became a widow, and her marriage with Huaqing River was reviled by her people. She died a year after she was born in A Bing. When A Bing was born, he was sent by his father to his hometown in Xiaosifang Lane, Dongting Town, Wuxi County, and was raised by his family. After he was eight years old, he was taken back to Taoist Temple, where he was given the scientific name of Hua and posthumous title, and sent to a private school to study.

Hua is proficient in all kinds of musical instruments and Taoist music. A Bing showed a rare talent for music when he was young. At the age of 65,438+00, his father taught him to beat stones to resist the cold and practice various rhythms (and later became a famous local drummer). /kloc-at the age of 0/2, A Bing began to learn to play the flute. His father often asked him to blow at the tuyere and hang an iron ring at the end of the flute to strengthen his wrist. Later, he simply replaced the iron ring with a weight. When A Bing studied erhu, he worked harder. His strings were dyed red with blood and his fingers were pulled out of thick cocoons. The outer strings of A Bing's erhu are much thicker than ordinary ones, which is inseparable from his perennial practice. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, A Bing officially participated in Taoist music performance. He is handsome and has a good voice. He is called "Little Shi Tian".

19 14, Hua died and became the Taoist priest in charge of Leizun Temple, taking turns to take charge of the incense income of Leizun Temple with his cousin Hua Boyang. Later, due to poor management, A Bing got into bad habits again, and his life gradually fell into poverty. At the age of 34, he went blind one after another, and was forced by life to wander the streets and make a living by performing arts. 1939, A Bing married Dong Caidi, a rural widow in Jiangyin.

1950 In the summer, Professor Yang and Professor Cao Anhe from the Central Conservatory of Music made a special trip to Wuxi to play a recording. By this time, A Bing had completely given up music for three years. After three days of practice, he recorded it twice, leaving three erhu works, two springs reflecting the moon, listening to pines, cold spring breeze and big waves, and dragon boat. Later, "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" and "Big Waves Wasting Sand" won the 20th Century Chinese Classical Music Award.

1950 In September, the Department of Folk Music of the Central Conservatory of Music planned to hire A Bing, but he was seriously ill at that time and could not apply. He died on February 4, 2008 19565438 and was buried in the "Yihe Shanfang" cemetery at the foot of the western suburbs of Wuxi. His wife Dong Caidi passed away on March 27th. 195 1.

A Bing's achievements in music have gone far beyond the barriers of family inheritance. He has learned from others and absorbed many skills, and reflected all his feelings about the painful life through music. His music works are permeated with the essence of traditional music, revealing a healthy and deep breath from the bottom of the people, sincere, gripping and full of strong artistic appeal.

The bleakest voice of Chinese folk music _ A Bing's story

Looking back on the bleak life of A Bing, a blind man who used to eat opium in a brothel, the photos of A Bing before his death came from the "Good Citizen's Card" issued by the Japanese invaders when they occupied Wuxi. This is the only photo taken by A Bing in his life. Fifty-four years ago, Wuxi artist Hua vomited blood and died. Although the death of his wife 29 days later made the neighbors feel a little sad for a while, that's all, because in everyone's view, it was just an ordinary idleness-a teenager lost his mind for a while when he had a successful career, and as a result, he lost his sight in Yanhua Lane, lost his opium smoke and finally became a street performer all his life. Who will remember this blind man who can play the erhu a few times-who will remember his unusual behavior, and who will remember that he is A Bing who wrote "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon"? At the age of twenty, I once met a strange neighbor who went to Ferini, movie master. He came out in his nightgown in the morning, closed the door behind him, stopped there quietly, then suddenly opened the door and put his head in, which is common. One day, the owner couldn't help but be curious and finally went over and asked the neighbor why he did it. The man replied, "I smell aging in my room."

Some people say that A Bing's elders can smell it everywhere, on knotted strings, behind a pair of dirty sunglasses and even in A Bing's name. His father, Hua Qinghe, is the director of a Taoist temple in Wuxi. Naturally, his mother was not legally married, and she was forced to die in A Bing when she was very young. Growing up in the Taoist temple, he can only call his biological father Master, and naturally few people call him China to his face. Known as A Bing, he became the new head of Taoist Temple at the age of 26. A Bing inherited the heirloom and managed the prosperity of the ceremony. It is said that one year's salary is enough for two years, and Wuxi is also envious. But who would have thought that a young man with a successful career suddenly showed a decadent spirit at the age of 20.

Xia Fei said that the so-called "old" must be something bad on you. A Bing, 26, was full of bright eyes, until later, Black Boy tied a knot with a pair of sunglasses. While playing, many musicians clamored to pay a lot of money for his music, but they were usually musicians with upturned faces, and even the most enthusiastic praise would not jump over their shoulders. If you are old at the age of 20, it must be that you no longer have any hope for everything above you. Whether it is a spectator in A Bing or a spectator in Wuxi, it is regarded as an errand and a job, not the so-called music. Just like addressing Hua, it not only confuses habits, but also causes a lot of embarrassment. Accustomed to the name A Bing, he also wasted his good days in a way that most viewers can imagine. He was blind in Liu Chang and addicted to opium. In the 1920s, A Bing, who was less than 30 years old, fell into the streets, looking no different from her 50-year-old appearance.

After only living for 90 days, A Bing's immersion and later masterpieces make many judgments on the art of life somewhat ambiguous. Different from Master Hongyi's empty meditation after reading the world, and also different from the hard experience of another master of folk music, Liu Tianhua, how did his completely ordinary life integrate so many charms into one string and one song? Perhaps this is the only accident in the history of music, just like A Bing's life full of accidents. When he was young, he accidentally lost his eyes. After more than 20,000 days of obscurity, he made a blockbuster in the last 90 days of his life.

In fact, there have been some opportunities to change everything before. When A Bing was reduced to the streets, another contemporary folk music master, Liu Tianhua, went to Jiangsu to collect folk music many times. Incredibly, the two masters have never met. In the early 1940s, he also declined a recording arranged by Li Songshou in Shanghai. It is said that the record company will charge them 5 yuan. This Mr. Li is a student in Liu Tianhua. /kloc-in the spring of 0/949, Li Songshou, who was familiar with him, went to Ning to learn from Chu Shizhu, the great disciple of Master Liu Tianhua. When he was practicing his fingers, he accidentally played a melody he heard in A Bing. He didn't want the teacher to ask about the origin of music immediately, and the answer was: "A street performer in Wuxi, blind A Bing."

1950 On the evening of September 2, several good people in the music industry found a wire recorder and an erhu. Without knowing what the recording was, A Bing played several songs, the first of which was "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon". After 23 days of recording, A Bing had the first chance to perform on the stage. Three months later, he vomited blood and died. It is said that there are more than 300 pieces of A Bing Huila's works, and only 6 pieces of steel wire were recorded at that time.

A Bing's handed down works: Two Springs Reflecting the Moon, Listening to Songtao, Cold Spring Breeze, Big Waves Wasting the Sand, Zhaojun's Embankment and Dragon Boat.

biography

(1893- 1950): Formerly known as Hua, a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, a folk musician.

1893 Aug 17 A Bing was born in Yihe Mountain Residence next to Leizun Temple in Wuxi. His father Hua Qinghe (no. Xue Mei) is a Taoist in the Leizun Hall of Xudong Palace in Wuxi. His mother Qin was born in a peasant family and married to the Qin family. Shortly after the marriage, she became a widow, and her marriage with Huaqing River was reviled by her people.

Hua is proficient in all kinds of musical instruments and Taoist music. A Bing showed a rare talent for music when he was young.

A Bing's achievements in music have gone far beyond the barriers of family inheritance. He has learned from others and absorbed many skills, and reflected all his feelings about the painful life through music. His music works are permeated with the essence of traditional music, revealing a healthy and deep breath from the bottom of the people, sincere, gripping and full of strong artistic appeal.

Huishan Spring in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province is known as "the second spring in the world". Author Hua named this piece of music "Two Springs Reflect on the Moon", which not only brought people into the artistic conception of quiet night, clear spring and Leng Yue, but also made people seem to meet that person-an upright and tenacious blind artist-when listening to the complete music, telling people about his bumpy life.

Followed by a brief introduction, the melody goes from the top sound to the horn sound, then ends with the horn sound, and finally ends with the gong sound. This is a microwave-shaped melody line, just like the author sitting by the spring meditating on the past (fragment 1). The second phrase has only two bars, and * * * appears six times in the whole song. It starts with the high octave at the end of the first phrase. Swinging up and down around the Gong Yin broke the silence in front and began to be high, revealing the author's infinite feelings (fragment 2). When entering the third sentence, the melody flows in the high-pitched area, and new rhythm factors appear. The melody is soft and firm, and the mood is more exciting. The theme gradually changed from calm and deep at the beginning to high spirits, which profoundly revealed the author's inner life feelings and tenacious and proud will to survive. The frequent use of his notes in performance makes the music feel a little sad, which is the emotional expression of a blind artist who has suffered from human bitterness and pain.

The theme of the whole song has been changed five times. With the presentation, extension and development of the music, the feelings expressed are more fully expressed. Its variation technique mainly expresses the development and circuitous progress of music through the expansion and contraction of sentence width and the rise and fall of melody activity range. Many of its variations are not to express different musical feelings, but to deepen the theme, so the musical image created by music is relatively simple and concentrated. The speed of the whole song has not changed much, but the strength has changed greatly, from pp to ff. Whenever music longer than quarter notes is played, the intensity of the bow changes and the music rises and falls, which makes people feel excited.
