Someone asked Fang Jinlong: "You see that there are so many musical instruments in folk music, why is the pipa so popular recently?"

Fang Jinlong replied: "Pipa became popular in the Tang Dynasty. Who was it in Tang Dynasty? Bai Juyi. What did Bai Juyi write? The most famous one is called 'Pipa' and 'Xing'!"

Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" is well known to women and children. Songs adapted from this poem have appeared in an endless stream in recent years. In CCTV's music and culture program "Classic Chanting", Fang Jinlong and Ren Jialun's "Pipa Xing" was even more popular. However, after reading, reciting, and singing "Pipa Xing", do you really understand what Bai Juyi's "lightly close, slow twist, rub and pick" mean?

Become a representative of contemporary five-stringed pipa performance, why is Fang Jinlong? Let's see him using a five-stringed pipa imitating the Tang Dynasty to vividly interpret and interpret the verses about the pipa in "Pipa Xing". It turns out that "lightly close, slowly twist, rub and pick" is the fingering of the left and right hands, and "big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate" is not a sound that is plucked by hand, but is plucked with a plectrum.

"I always feel that Chinese national music must pay attention to taste, authenticity and tendon. These 'three ways' are very important." Fang Jinlong said.
