Where is suona used? Why are so few people studying now?

When it comes to the types of musical instruments, many people should think of piano, guitar and accordion. I don't know if you have heard of suona. This instrument used to be very common, but with the change of people's appreciation of music, the suona gradually faded out of our sight. Now, it may be seen in the red and white events in the countryside, and there are few banquets in the city. There are fewer people learning suona now. Why are there so few people learning suona? Let me talk about my opinion!

If you live in the countryside, if someone dies, the host will invite a suona craftsman to play the suona and see the dead old man off. If someone gets married, they will also invite a suona craftsman to enliven the atmosphere. Moreover, the salary of a suona craftsman in rural areas is about 500 now, but a suona craftsman can't take much work in a year. This is one of the main reasons. There are very few jobs, especially those who make a living by playing suona. So people nowadays would rather go out to work than learn this craft.

Playing suona is actually a particularly difficult thing, which requires us to have enough vital capacity. When playing the suona, the mouth of the suona producer is like a hair dryer, and sometimes it is necessary to blow for a while. It is precisely because learning suona is not an easy task that many people feel that it is more practical to go out and earn more money if they have time to learn suona.

Suona craftsmen were particularly popular in the last century, and there were many suona players in a rural area. In the movie "A Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix", the reasons for the decline of suona are described. I think the main reason is that people now enjoy music differently! Suona is also a national intangible heritage now, and we need to inherit and inherit the spirit of Suona.

This is my opinion. Traditional culture cannot be lost. While accepting foreign culture, we should also inherit our own culture. So where do you think suona is usually used? Why are so few people learning suona now? Come and talk about your opinion in the comments section!
