Jia Bingzheng's nickname is Mingming. Born on October 3, 1932, Taiyuan people in Shanxi Province have been fond of Jin opera since childhood. In 1946, he dropped out of school and entered the Taiyuan Revival Stage, where he learned to play the drum board with Wang Desheng (nicknamed Baoerze) as his teacher. At that time, there were Hou Bu Gao who worked on cymbals and Feng Xuan who worked on horse gongs. He mainly played drums, and also played gangzi, Jiaozi, and Xiaozhan drums. At that time, Shen Tianfu of Xinhua Grand Theater (later known as No. 3 Theater), Feng Wanfu of Shanxi Grand Theater in Nancang Lane, Bai Jinshan of Xinmin Grand Theater (later named No. 2 Theater) were the main drummers of each troupe. Each has its own strengths, and has been generous with his growth. Three years later, he was transferred to the Jin Opera Troupe of Pingyao County, and in 1953 it was changed to the Jin Opera Troupe of Yuci Special Area, and then changed to the Jin Opera Troupe.
In the mid-1950s, he converted to the artistic embrace of Master Zhao Tingjie (Runsheng). Master Zhao, who is both a famous horse gong master and a famous drum master, was called "the elder of the Three Dynasties" back then, which means his master Gouman, and Gouman's master Song Xing'er and him are all the leading celebrities in Zhonglu Bangzi's music industry. Master Zhao's artistic style has always been known for his rigor and profound attainments. He was particularly strict with his discipline and teaching, which made him make great progress in art very quickly: he unified the way, standardized the number, corrected the detour, and made up for it. insufficient. At the same time, Master Zhao also taught him a lot of percussion performance skills that will be lost, making him gradually mature in art and gain a firm foothold. In his more than 40 years of artistic career, he had the opportunity to act as the drummer for many famous actors' best plays, and got ample opportunities for practice. Ruo Ding Guoxian, Cheng Yuying starred in "Walking Snow Mountain"; Ding Guoxian, Xiao Guiqin, Ma Qiuxian, Ma Fuxian starred in "The Loyalty and Filial Piety"; , "Back to Jingzhou", etc.; "Fengtaiguan" and "Killing the Palace" starring Liu Zhilan and Zhang Guijuan; ", "Gaopingguan" starring Xiao Shenglei (Cheng Wazi), etc.; "Qingdingzhu" starring Wang Yinzhu, "Reading the Book of War" and other bone plays. For literary opera, he has mastered the movement characteristics of each actor, so he can accompany him with ease and cooperate tacitly. For martial arts, no matter whether it is long or short somersaults, it can also work closely with the actors. Opposite operas, such as "Pao Brand", there are 22 performances in the audience. From the beginning to the end, nearly 40 cards of various types are used in each game. There were many special percussion instruments, which were directed by Wang Yongnian and rehearsed by Liu Guangming. The band was played by the old musician Qin Liang, and his master Zhao Tingjie was there to instruct him on the drums. , and also received the true teaching of Zhao Tingjie and Wang Yongnian, so that his playing skills have been greatly improved. Over the years, he has paid special attention to his performance not to overwhelm the audience under any circumstances, making the stage full of noise. Especially when recording and video recording, we pay more attention, and always strictly adhere to the word "partner". For example, the recordings of "Climbing the Hall" starring Cheng Yuying and Tian Xiuying, "Crying Hall" starring Li Zhanwei, etc. were recorded by Shanxi People's Broadcasting Station; the video of "You West Lake" starring Cheng Lingxian; "Xiahedong" starring Hou Yulan, etc. Or the cassette tape he is close to the singing, the sound is appropriate, this is his usual accompaniment style.
In 1975, in order to train the successor of the drummer. With the attitude of passing on what he knows, he taught from the Jinzhong Jin Opera Troupe to the Jinzhong Art School, and trained 30 percussion talents by himself. Most of them learned from scratch, such as the three drummers of the Jinzhong Youth Jin Opera Troupe: Yi Qingbo, Wang Jin, Wang Xiaopeng, as well as the troupe's percussion staff, as well as the troupes in Jinzhong, such as Xiyang County. Guo Haicheng, the drummer of the Jin Opera Troupe, and others were all trained by him. For the convenience of teaching, he compiled "Jin Opera Percussion" (Part 1) in 1979, which was handed down to the world by the internal printing of the Jinzhong Cultural Bureau.
