Promote the benevolence of academic research and establish the style of the generation of scholars. Today, I will introduce to you the story of Mr. Zheng Qia, a well-known local wise man in Haojiang River, who devoted his life to protecting and inheriting the tide music culture.

▲Mr. Zheng Qia
Autumn window stroking the Yaoqiu facing the moon, and playing the clear sound. The song “Remembering the Old Friend” is lightly wiped out. Myanmar’s ancestors, every time I whisper, tears are touched. I vaguely peek at the shadows, and I can’t find the sky when I see it. In the autumn night, I am playing the piano and remembering my grandfather, Grandfather Qiao Gong’s voice and appearance are still there, and tears wet my clothes. The poem is here – “Telling Hearts” to express my grief…
My grandfather Zheng Qiao, originally from Mukeng Palace in Miancheng, Chaoyang, was a wise man and famous teacher in the Chaoshan music industry. Good at temple painting and exquisite academic figures. What I learned throughout my life is profound and profound, and I especially value Confucianism and joy in educating people. He is committed to the inheritance of traditional culture and traditional music and is the founder of the dissemination and development of Chaoyang Ditao Music in Haojiang. My grandfather lost his father at a young age and was able to sell fried dough sticks at Chaoyang Tower at the age of eight. Although he is eager to learn, Komiks lingers in the academies and bookshops all day long. I got the mercy of the old man in the private school and allowed him to study for free. He is also smart and always stays in temples and music halls, and is fascinated by calligraphy, painting and music art. At the age of twelve, he studied under Mr. Chen Wulu, a famous chauvinist of the “Yangchun Garden” Leshe in Chaoyang. He was highly valued and accepted as a disciple of the family, teaching Chaoyang flute sets ancient music and string poetry music. After obtaining his true teachings, he is especially good at drums and flutes. During the Anti-Japanese War, Chaoyang’s “Yangchun Garden” Leshe stopped all drills, and his grandfather moved to Dahao. Dahao was always the capital of Chaoyang County recruitment. Guangxu (Chaoyang County Chronicles) recorded: “There are many people in the area, including reciting strings and poetry and books.” After settling down, he met local celebrities such as Wu Xuehong, Zheng Jieru, Zheng Fuxuan, Lin Zhonghong, Li Yongzhi, and other music clubs such as Zheng Senyao and Yao Biaoqing. He deeply felt that Dahao’s humanities and history had a solid foundation. However, he felt that there were few people who were dabbled in Chaoyang Di Fu’s ancient music in this place, and thus he had the idea of spreading and carrying forward it. Therefore, we entertain ourselves first and then attract enthusiasts to observe and learn. By the 1950s, there were more than 40 enthusiasts such as Wu Guozhe, Cai Zhaowu, Li Qinru, Wu Tongguang, and Yang Dan, who practiced Chaoyang flute set music and Chaozhou silk string music in batches. In the 1960s, there were hundreds of scholars. There areZheng Yujie, Huang Tingke, Wu Muqing, Huang Tengsen, Wan Mianshui, etc. either make a living for learning art, or become a disciple for learning art due to their interests and hobbies. As the number of disciples and disciples followed one after another, I was eager to use Changxuan as a learning venue. He also considered the original intention of passing on the art and wanted to restore the “Yangchun Garden” Music Society, which was suspended due to the turbulence of the current situation. So he resolutely set up a hall in the neighboring house, used his home as a hall, and carved wooden drum pavilions, and wrote a note by himself: “Yangchun Garden Music Hall”, and wrote a couplet with the head of “Yangchun” as the music hall: “The three suns bloom and the peace will be reunited, and the first plum blossoms in spring will be the first branch.” To pray for the prosperity of the country, the “Yangchun Garden Music Hall” connects the past and the future, promotes excellent traditional culture, and inherits and develops Chaoyang Dimension Music. The venue is established, and the rules must be determined. Babaylan The Taoist master is strict and the kindness and etiquette must be learned. Whenever the students start and stop every day, students must bow their hands in front of the pavilion when entering the classroom and must not be disrespectful. At that time, he continued to accept disciples, unpacked the bags and added musical instruments, and taught free skills such as flute sets, gongs and drums, flute sets, Su gongs and drums, palace music, temple music, string poetry music, Chaozhou gongs and drums and other skills. Flute music is divided into “Flute music” and “Flute music”. The ancient music of Flute Tao originated from the court music of the Tang and Song dynasties. It was the accumulation of ancient music flowing into Chaoyang and evolved with local music. Because of the special Chaoyang accent, it forms a deep, heavy, solemn, elegant and unique rhythm. “Flute Ancient Music” belongs to the Confucian Temple School, mainly composed of Sheng, Xiao, Guan and Flute. The flute is led by the music, accompanied by Sanxian, Pipa, Zheng, Yueqin, Qinqin and ancient string music, and is accompanied by the performance of small eight-tones such as bells, Qing, Muyu, Jieban, Zhe drum, Sumuban, Wuyin gong, and Xiangzhan. It retains more the simplicity, solemnity and elegance of court music. The performance style is harmoniousCinema, square and graceful. The main tracks include “Four Scenerys”, “Headlight Tower”, etc. “Flute Set Gongshu” belongs to the folk school. In addition to retaining the tone and set structure of the traditional ancient music, it is equipped with the Jiangsu opera Su Gongshu and Chaozhou Dadong Opera, forming the open, bright, fresh and elegant “Flute Set Su Gongshu” that are lively and light, joyful and jumping “Flute Set Xiao Gongshu” and the high-pitched, passionate, vigorous and enthusiastic “Flute Set Big Gongshu”. Its category is mainly distinguished from the supporting use of light and heavy musical instruments. At the same time, the second-class flute music combines the unique charm of Chaoyang dialect with low pronunciation and powerful Dantian.
▲The traditional music score “Kung Ruo” hand-copied and compiled by Mr. Zheng Qia
“The ancient music of flutes is Confucian music!” my grandfather often said. The performance should be elegant and humble, and dignified. The drums should be “not looking up at the face, and the hammer is not as good as the eyebrows”. The flute set is the main instrument of the ancient music “horizontal flute”, and its unique playing technique “dragon head and phoenix tail finger” is even moreThe only way to play fingering. From the podium, style and even the supporting program, it is necessary to use the hard and soft set of string orchestration according to the traditional repertoire to inherit the ancient music of the flute set and the thousand-year-old charm and elegant style. The second string is the Chaozhou string musical instrument, and it is the Chaoshan unique ancient instrument, also known as the “head and hand string”. It should be remembered that the handle is the most important thing to pay attention to “steady and walk the bow, and demeanor is the key.” The performance should be solid and the bow is solid and the fingers are strong and soft, strong but not noise, and weak but not weak. In the use of sentence patterns, we must make both gorgeous sentences, but also moderately and formal, fully reflecting the rigid, flexible, steady and elegant playing style and performance characteristics. At that time, no matter how cold and heat are, no matter how sunny and rainy it is, in the old tiger house built by my grandfather, from morning to evening, singing scores, gongs and drums and music are endless. Or sit around three or five, clap your palms and play the string poem set with the traditional music score “Kongchi Score”, or play the flute in pairs, practice the ensemble of gongs and drums in the afternoon, and even the evening string music ensemble, without interruption. At six o’clock in the morning, the disciples living in the music hall must get up on time. After washing, you either eat soy milk, fried dough sticks, or drink the homemade five-nut noodle soup of my grandfather, and then stand in pairs in the door yard, practicing playing the flute in turn, which is called the “‘Yao’ string full flute”! Before practicing flute, you must not be empty-handed, and the alchemy energy is insufficient and the air is not smooth. Grandfather sat upright on the side of the large eight immortal table in the middle of the hall, patted with a drum board, half closed his eyes, and carefully checked whether the luck was smooth and correct when listening to the flute. Following traditional fingering, rigorously and standardize the playing techniques with the starting sentence “picking, patting, covering, and wiping” as the rhyme and the period Babaylan clearly states the complete sentence. The performance exercises of each piece of music must be sung by the traditional song “Kongzi Tu” until it is familiar and smooth before it can be practiced in the solo and ensemble.
▲The disciples participated in the 1984 “Shantou Island Reading Summer Concert” performance of the flute and gong Su gong “Fishing”Autumn Night in the Island” Si Gu: Wu Shunxi
My grandfather taught the students, and taught them in terms of their aptitude, and taught them in accordance with their aptitude and the rules were solemn. After Wu Shunyi, a disciple of the disciple, learned the flute playing technique, he continued to practice the yangqin. His grandfather Juele Hall originally equipped with the butterfly piano was no longer suitable for his synchronous practice, so he asked a friend to buy a three-stair yangqin from Beijing to continue his disciples’ ability to practice the utensils. Later, Wu Shunyi and his eight-year-old younger brother Wu Shunxi learned his skills. His grandfather first tried to use various plucking instruments and percussion instruments to see his character. After careful examination of the interview, I realized that his nature is smart, has a superb musical feeling, and is quick to do it. This is a material that can be made of Chaomu Drums. Therefore, he strictly defined the framework: learning drum art requires the flute to be enlightened from the main instrument of flute music, and then proficient in other plucking instruments. This is to lay the foundation of its music and help it understand its musical connotation. Through learning different instruments, master the musical expression forms and characteristics of each instrument, understand the complementary contrast of each instrument’s expression forms, and give full play to the commanding role of drums during the performance. After learning the art for several years, he received careful guidance from his grandfather. The brothers Wu Shunyi and Wu Shunxi, who are quite talented in music, have already obtained their true teachings and superb skills. I remember that there was an older brother who walked to the music hall about a hundred meters away in the evening. He heard the loud, exciting, melodious, but simple and quiet sound of flutes from afar. It was very pleasant! However, I was very surprised that there was such a big sound in the solo of the flute? After careful analysis, it was not like playing the double flute. In a while, he was puzzled, and he walked slowly to the entrance of the music hall and stopped in shock: Wu Shunyi and Wu Shunxi were standing in front of the hall, playing the flute music “Happy Lantern Tower” with the flute. Even though he clapped his hands and sighed: The sound of nature is a wonderful combination! Although my grandfather was always so powerful that he was not angry, he was occasionally angry! I remember that it was one night when I was fifteen years old, and my senior brothers still arrived at the music hall one after another. And the first ones to come were my honest and honest uncle, thirty years older than me, and as if he was dozing off while pulling the “head and hand string”, and the junior brother Wu Shunxi, who I called “happy crazy”. Komiks As usual, my brother debugged the flute, and the uncle mastered his second strings, Wu Shunxi took out the coconut beard, and at the same time I also adjusted the yangqin, and a string poem “Crown Playing in the Water” began the ensemble. Grandfather was still sitting on the side of his big eight immortal table, playing the suma board while drumming the slow pace. My grandfather often said, “It is especially difficult to be fast but not easy to be slow, but the difficulty lies in ‘fast but not chaotic, slow but constant’!” 2After passing the second board, my grandfather’s drums turned and continued to the second board. At this moment, my mind was distracted and the transfer area was in a mess. With a angrily shout, the small drum in my grandfather’s hand flew straight towards the direction where I was sitting. The little Lebi Wu Shunxi was so scared that he hugged the coconut beard in his hand and hid far away. And I was so shocked that I held the pair of piano chopsticks in my hand tightly and kept wiping my tears. But my uncle was already very awake at this time. He saw him standing beside his grandfather Cinema, lowering his voice Babaylan and persuading him carefully, “Sir, don’t be angry, sir,” and constantly persuading him. Finally, fortunately, my mother, who heard the sound, rushed out, and my grandfather gradually calmed down. Since then, we no longer dare to slack off or be inattentive in our studies! Of course, for those apprentices who are good at taking action or are diligent and studious, their grandfather will also give them great awards. Any specialty cakes, snacks and other items given by friends will be given priority to sharers, and some will be awarded the honor of accompanying their grandfather to go out to visit friends, and some will be regarded as the most treasure by the instruments given by their grandfather!
However, my grandfather was the twelfth disciple of Mr. Huang Xingtai, a master of Chaoshan astrology and geomantics. He was well versed in the academic numbers of star fate, Qimen, geomantics, and auspiciousness. As early as the age of eighteen, my grandfather had studied traditional flute music, and had already dabbled in many ways, including calligraphy, painting, medicine, etc. During this period, he was appreciated by Mr. Chen Bingji, a folk painter in Guiyu, and was taught fine brushwork lacquer paintings and temple paintings. After finishing the class, he was particularly famous for his “door god’s inverted painting” (that is, the door god’s strokes start from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head). At the same time, he was highly valued by his painting skills. Mr. Huang Xingtai, a master of the Chaoshan Astrology. He was appointed as a disciple of the family and taught the astronomy and calendar with great knowledge. After several years of becoming a teacher, the students have been studying hard for their grandfather’s lifelong studies, and they always find the essence and feel happy! Therefore, every day, there are endless people visiting and discussing skills, taking children to learn calligraphy and painting, or asking questions and answering doubts. In the front and backyard of the Yangchun Garden Music Hall, all disciples follow the teachings and rules, learn skills, and are in harmony with static and dynamics. The disciples in the Music Hall are nearly 60 years old. My grandfather precepts: No high or low learning, no long or short learning, there are orders of knowledge, and specialized skills in skills. A wise man should not “use his or her talents to judge his or her generation” or “use his or her skills to deceive him or her.” When learning art, you must first establish quality, know etiquette and righteousness, and be humble. Be kind to others is the foundation of being a human being, and being harmonious is the way to deal with the world. Only by being united and one’s heart and virtue can one make what one learns profound and profound.

In addition to his studies, he was a friend of his friends. Mr. Yang Guangquan of Shantou Opera School has repeatedly discussed skills with his grandfather, and had a great conversation with him. He worked together to inherit and develop excellent traditional music culture and always had a consensus on interviewing each other. While passing on his skills, he did not forget to collect and organize the folk information of Chaoyang Di sound set. It started in the 1960s and participated in the Chaoyang Folk Music Research Group, often traveling to and from Chaoyang folk music clubs to collect, organize and edit folk music materials. In the 1980s, Mr. Zheng Zhiwei of Chaole Research Office also visited the music hall for several months. Chaole Research Office scholars Zhuang Lizhu, Lin Shengmin and others visited many times, and with the support and assistance of their grandfather, they discovered and sorted out folk information. The proofreading and compiling Chaoyang flute musical scores and gongs and drum scores are used for systematic collection and organization. During this period, the music score was compiled by grandfather and rehearsed by his disciples. He participated in the “Shantou Island Summer Concert” in 1984, and also participated in the new flute Su gong and drum “Autumn Night in Fishing Island”, which was highly praised by the industry. After watching the meeting, the famous Chinese musicians Li Guyi, Jin Tielin and others watched the flute set. Cinema was a rare treasure. After the performance, various news media and Chinese meteorological singer Luo Tianchan invited each other to interview and report.
The teacher’s kindness is engraved for generations, and the ancestor’s virtue is for thousands of years! My grandfather’s enthusiasm and dedication to inheriting and promoting traditional music was not disappointed. The scene of teaching and educating people through my whole life is still vivid in my mind! The “Three Treasures of Folk Art in Chaoyang” praised it: “Accumulate virtue and respect goodness, teach art and teach people, is deeply loved by disciples, and can be called a role model for Chinese traditional culture.” Note: Hook, pick, put together, and wipe: fingering method of playing the guqin; “Remembering Old Friends”: The famous guqin song; Qia Gong: surnamed Zheng, name Yonghua, name, and name Qixian.
