Left Primary 4th grader Tenzin Rob
Tenzin Rob: "Uncle, where is your hometown?"
I didn't expect the child to be so cheerful and chatty, so I told my hometown at once: "I am from Nyalam."
Tenzin Luobu: "It's so coincidental that we will play "Nyalam Thongla", otherwise, we will play this famous song for you together, can you take a good picture for us?"
Dui Harmony "Nyalam Tongla" Score
Tenzin Luobu suddenly came to him, and his classmates who were learning Zha Nianqin with him also picked up their Zha Nianqin and began to play "Nyalam Thong La". Even though we met for the first time, they were not stage fright at all, and they quickly threw themselves into the playing situation of Langma's chorus. Their proficiency was all surprising!
It turned out that Tenzin Luobu's teacher was Ngawang Lunzhu, a descendant of Tashi Dorje, a famous Tibetan teacher of Zha Nianqin.
As an important part of Tibetan culture, "Langma dui is a bit difficult, and it is an elective course, but Tenzin Luobu and his classmates persevered." The persistence of the students has become the driving force of Ngawang Lunzhu. He used the weekends and winter and summer vacations to unconditionally tutor Tenzin Luobu. "It's rare that there are students who insist on learning Zha Nianqin. I have no reason not to support it."
With the help of Ngawang Lunzhu, Tenzin Luobu has made rapid progress.
Not only that, Tenzin Lobu is also considered a "music family", and his grandfather is also a folk artist who likes to play Zha Nianqin. "During the Chinese New Year and festivals, my grandfather often played the Zha Nianqin at home. I also liked listening to it very much and wanted to learn it very much. Later, I followed the Zha Nianqin." Tenzin Lobu said that Zha Nian Qin really learned Difficult, but because of his preference, he was determined to learn this art well.
"When I grow up, I want to inherit and carry forward the Zha Nianqin culture of our Tibetan people; I will also accept apprentices for free, and release albums with my classmates!" When parting, Tenzin Luobu smiled and was happy. His childhood dream, a dream that will stick to the end.
According to Tenzin Lobu's teacher Ngawang Lundup later, as a famous musical instrument among the Tibetans, the Zha Nianqin is deeply loved by the Tibetans, but there is no musical score in traditional teaching, and many people acquire it through long-term practice and accumulation of experience. It has also led to fewer and fewer people playing the Zha Nianqin.
