Ma Chunfeng, a villager from Mazhuang Village, Hong'en Township, Zhecheng County, moved the traditional folk art suona into the Douyin live broadcast room, which not only let more people know about Suona Village, but also brought this traditional art back to life.

Mazhuang Village is a well-known "suona village". Almost all of the more than 200 villagers in the village can play suona, and about half of them make a living by playing suona. "Our Mazhuang Suona has a history of hundreds of years. The older generation, my father, my master, and the old man, are all playing suona." On August 9, villager Ma Chunfeng said.

Speaking of Mazhuang Suona, Ma Chunfeng's father, Ma Xinyu, revealed his loss in pride. "I've been playing suona for more than 60 years. Now I'm 76 years old. I played it when I was 11 years old. When you perform, there are so many people. It's not uncommon to see that."

Ma Chunfeng said that now many young people have gradually weakened the suona, and he doesn't like it anymore. The offline performances of villagers who live on suona in Mazhuang Village have dropped sharply, and many villagers have given up suona. Ma Chunfeng, who has been in the suona class since he was a child, considers playing the suona again in a new way. "This is an old tradition, and learning suona is quite troublesome. It takes you at least three years to play suona like this, and you also need Tongzi Gong, so no one is learning it now." Ma Chunfeng said.

Ma Chunfeng registered an account on Douyin in the name of "Suona Village", made short videos of people and events in the village, and moved the villagers' suona performances into the live broadcast room. Short videos have been published since the end of January this year, and live broadcasts began on April 16. In less than 8 months, the number of followers of Ma Chunfeng's Douyin account "Suona Village" has grown to 258,000. Ma Chunfeng said: "After seeing this netizen, they will comment on it. Teacher, let me learn it for you. Teacher, you go to our place to perform. Many netizens commented on us."

Soon, through the live broadcast of Douyin, more people knew about the Suona Village, the traditional Chinese musical instrument suona, more performance invitations, and many young people who came to learn the arts, 11-year-old Wang Quanlong is one of them. one of. "I saw this suona on Douyin, and I felt very good, so I started to learn it. I found my master by mistake, and I worshipped him." Wang Quanlong, a student of Ma Chunfeng, said.

The live broadcast started on April 16. Ma Chunfeng insisted on two hours of live broadcast every day. In the first hour, the number of people in the live broadcast room could reach 7,000 or 8,000, and at the highest, it could reach 20,000 or 30,000. Ma Chunfeng said confidently: "This suona has been passed down. Through the Douyin platform, the suona has gradually been recognized. All over the country, the suona of our Mazhuang village has been heard. I saw the suona of our Mazhuang village. In terms of development, if you want to learn suona, I can teach it for free and pass on Mazhuang suona."

"The next step is to use the Douyin platform based on Mazhuang Suona to make Mazhuang a real Internet celebrity village, promote the development of farmers' industries, and help rural revitalization." said Yang Suqin, secretary of the village's party branch.
