The sound of the piano is rhythmic and melodious. Beauty is not only the pursuit of appearance, but also the cultivation of the soul. After our exclusive interview with Mr. Wang Yu, we are even more convinced of the new definition of "beauty" in this era.

Jade Pipa founder Wang Yu: It is Pipa that enriches her heart

Among the traditional musical instruments in my country, the pipa is known as the "head of the plucked musical instrument". It is said that the music it emits can make the world "smooth and rainy".

Perhaps because of the perennial rhythm of the pipa, Mr. Wang Yu is gentle and elegant, and the styles are like water. During the filming, she played a piece of "Blue and White Porcelain" as she pleased, which made us enjoy an audio-visual feast.

1. Indissoluble bond

"Noisy, chopped and miscellaneous bullets, big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate." This is not just the description and imagination in the ancient poems.

On this warm afternoon, Wang Yu was holding the pipa in his arms, and the agile notes flowed freely from his fingertips:

In delicate places, the flowers are twisted around the fingers, and the reverberation is around the beams; when it is surging, it is like thousands of troops and horses, big waves wash the sand; when it is excited, it is like a surging river, pouring thousands of miles; when it is emotional, it is like a lady, and its tenderness is full of twists... The four strings of the pipa are aligned, and the sound is like a jade.

Gently gather, slowly twist, rub and pick again, and slender hands pull the spring sound around the beam. She has red lips and white skin, long hair like waterfalls, and crooked smiling eyes. She is charming and charming, like a picture of a classical beauty.

Teacher Wang Yu's skillful and consummate performance skills, we seem to have seen how many days she spent on the study of pipa skills, and her tireless and tireless spirit is admirable.

The radical above the two characters of pipa is actually a "jue" character, which means "two jades collide, making a pleasant slamming sound". And Wang Yu's single name has the word "jade", which seems to have a feeling of "oneness of man and qin".

Her "Jade Pipa" studio also uses the word "jade". The whole studio is quaint, with quaint calligraphy, painting and utensils just right to set off the artistic atmosphere. Pipa, Zhongruan and Guqin are displayed. Although she is proficient in everything, she always modestly says that the art is endless and is still improving. on the way.

She herself is also very fond of flower arrangement. She strolls around the flower market in her spare time, brings her favorite flowers, picks a beautiful vase, listens to music, sips tea, and creates a unique, warm and elegant masterpiece in a short time.

After getting along, Wang Yu gave me the greatest feeling: like a jade, the tender side, warm and delicate, crystal clear; the strength side, the inner quality is strong, tough and pure.

Just like the pipa, with only four strings, Wen Neng can recite poems and oppose it, gentle and elegant, and depict lyrical and euphemistic beautiful scenery.

2. Music sublimation

During the conversation, Wang Yu talked about the influence of pipa playing on her: it was the pipa that enriched her heart. In addition to enjoying the soundness of playing, I also do not forget to improve the connotation of self-cultivation.

She said: "Everyone must find a unique self in walking, and make himself a big tree, not humble or high-minded, and grow freely and independently in the world..." Every person in her circle of friends Passionately sharing insights into life all day.

Wang Yu was born in a pipa family. He has been fascinated by his eyes and ears since he was a child.

A good player does not necessarily make a good teacher. However, Wang Yuxue is tall and upright, and can freely switch between the two identities of "player" and "educator". Wang Yu believes that to be a teacher, one must not only "educate" and "solve doubts", but more importantly, "preach". That's what she said and she did.

The "Jade Pipa" studio founded by Wang Yu has been devoted to pipa teaching for more than 20 years, especially for children's pipa teaching, and has achieved remarkable results:

Her students won the first, second and third prizes in the selection competitions in Yunnan area of national children's instrumental music competitions such as "Children's Star" and "Chinese Love", and won many prizes in "Dunhuang Cup", "Ethnic Cup" and other Yunnan Children's Instrumental Music Competitions. He won gold, silver and bronze awards for the second time, and won the first prize in the Qujing Children's Instrumental Music Competition. A number of Pipa students have been admitted to China Conservatory of Music, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Sichuan Conservatory of Music, Capital Normal University and Yunnan Academy of Arts with outstanding achievements.

Wang Yu is unique in Qujing pipa teaching and is deeply loved by students and parents. Therefore, a steady stream of students came to her for teaching.

How can the sound of the piano move people? Teacher Wang Yu has the following views: First, there is flexibility; second, there is spirituality. Resilience refers to the tension of character; spirituality refers to the inner soul.

Practicing musical instruments can not only cultivate sentiment, but also cultivate one's self-cultivation, improve emotional intelligence and aesthetics, and find spiritual and spiritual sustenance. In folk music, no instrument can be as dramatic as the pipa, and its timbre and charm have dramatic plot and inner tension.

Guqin, Guzheng and Dongxiao all focus on the extravagance and continuation of an abstract emotion. The pipa, the meticulous description of the plot and the extreme publicity of the characters, are incomparable with other folk music instruments.
