Hunan Opera, which began in the Ming Dynasty, has undergone more than 600 years of evolution and has formed an extremely rich voice. When traditional opera does not return to the present in the form of time travel, it meets with the Western symphony and emits a different kind of light.

A few days ago, the "Xiang Yu Xiang Yin" original Hunan Opera Symphony Concert, jointly sponsored by Hunan Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Propaganda Department of the Changsha Municipal Party Committee, was staged shockingly in Changsha Concert Hall. The concert was novel and unique. Based on the symphony, it is performed in conjunction with traditional musical instruments, using abstract and descriptive musical language to narrate the prosperous years of the past, as well as the human physics of ordinary people, immersing the audience in the music with saturated colors and rich layers.

The presentation of this dynamic effect is not only the folk charm and historical vicissitudes conveyed by traditional instrumental music such as Jinghu, Xiao, Bamboo Flute, Pipa, Suona, Dagong, etc. The sound of the times performed collaboratively is the flower of music blooming on the fertile soil of Hunan, where traditional vocal music and Western instrumental music complement each other.

Hunan Opera is one of the most popular local drama genres in history. The "intangible cultural heritage" Hunan Opera goes to the people, which is also the return of ancient folk operas to the current life, returning to the original and opening a new one. In the process of exploring and practicing the inheritance and development of Hunan Opera, He Yimin has integrated more innovative ideas into the reform of Hunan Opera, and believes that "the reform and exploration of the new rhyme of Hunan Opera is like the Hunan cuisine 'Fried Pork with Peppers' that everyone loves. It’s just a different individual’s approach.” Let Hunan Opera “enter people, ears, and mouths”, so that elegant art can match the aesthetic tastes of today’s young people, so that Hunan Opera can enter life and enter the alley of fireworks.

In He Yimin's eyes, art never sticks to the form, and the real art is the art that goes into the folk. As a concert conductor, He Yimin is like a passionate poet who "transforms" the score into three-dimensional music, and the music flows like spring water.

The 10 original Hunan opera arias that contain the national spirit and regional characteristics, in various forms such as solo, duet, chorus, and performance, take the national spirit and the spirit of the times as the main melody, and take the ordinary people's worldly feelings as the "multi-voice". A different auditory effect and aesthetic space. Here, the echoes of history and the footsteps of the times shine on each other when they meet. There are waves crashing on the shore, and there are also gurgling streams. Sometimes they are fierce, sometimes soft and soothing, bringing the audience into a deep and wonderful artistic realm.

The lofty beauty of "The Soul of China" shows the style of a great country and national integrity in the form of a singing of harmony; "Leading the Horse to Create a New Policy" shows Cai E's extraordinary bearing to sacrifice his life to protect the country; The strong youth makes the country strong" shows the great ambition of young people to protect the family and the country with the words "I use the pen, you use the gun, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the country." As the so-called "singing in harmony, singing a cappella and exile", in the concerted performance of Hunan Opera Gaoqiang, Kunqiang, Tanqiang and symphony, the artist sang in a sonorous and powerful voice to commemorate the heroic and vigorous, so that the audience can experience the noble and tragic beauty of.

"Never Separation" expresses the deep love of Cai E and his wife incisively and vividly. The voice is melodious and the music is gentle and subtle, showing the feminine beauty of women. I had to endure the torture of parting." "Zhi Shu Da Li Jun Zi" combines the recitation of Nü Shu with elements of folk music, with softness, elegance and lyricism as the main keynotes, expressing the inner spirit of Nüshu culture. In the spiritual realm that belongs only to women, they express their rough life with secret words that are unknown to men, full of tears and misery, and the lyrics and music are full of praise for the unwilling spirit of Nüshuren.

"Squeeze Girl Lane" vividly sings the beautiful love affair between boys and girls, the tune is soft, lively and interesting, "Squeeze Girl Lane, race chicken intestines, walk head-on, touch the bridge of the nose, pass by the back without a chance, and stick to the chest with affection... ..." "Deep Courtyard" sings a female solo ensemble of Guqin, Xiao, Bamboo Flute, and Western Qin, expressing the joy of women ending their loneliness. "My Family Lives in the Center of Flowers" uses beautiful melody to express people's expectations for a better life after poverty alleviation, and an ode to the theme of the era of rural revitalization.

It is worth mentioning that this concert is the first time that Changsha cuisine has been integrated into Hunan Opera, and the gourmet cuisine of Pozi Street is described with fireworks-flavored lyrics and music, and the Hunan cuisine culture is conveyed through music. "The sausages should be steamed together, the farmhouse chili fried meat, the chili preserved egg, the fried shrimp..." "Xiaoxiang Food" eloquently described the food in Pozi Street, realizing He Yimin's innovative idea of making Hunan opera "into the mouth" .

The whole concert, in the form of music played by traditional musical instruments and symphony, expresses the majestic, tragic, mysterious and complex thoughts and emotions delicately and vividly, with strong shock and profound artistic charm.
