In the 1970s, Mr. Liu Changfu, a master of the erhu, created a piece of music with a Mongolian flavor, "New Herdsmen on the Grassland", through his unique artistic perspective and profound cultural background. This composition not only depicts the magnificent scenery of the Inner Mongolia grassland but also sings the praises of the rich and colorful lives of the younger generation of herdsmen and their optimistic and cheerful spirits.

The Song of Youth on the Grassland

"New Herdsmen on the Grassland" leads the audience into the vast Inner Mongolia grassland through its melodious and vigorous melody, allowing them to experience the daily life and inner world of the new generation of herdsmen on that land. The piece is filled with cheerful rhythms and bright tones, vividly depicting the scenes of young herdsmen galloping freely and singing loudly on the grassland, expressing their love for life and their longing for a better future.

Unique artistic expression techniques

In order to more authentically reflect the culture and life atmosphere of the grassland, Mr. Liu Changfu ingeniously incorporated various traditional Mongolian music elements in "New Herdsmen of the Grassland", and innovatively added some non-traditional playing techniques. These unique techniques not only enhanced the expressiveness of the music but also added a distinctive charm to the entire piece. For instance, in some sections, rapid glissandos were used to imitate the unique sound effect of the morin khuur, making the entire work sound more characteristic of the grassland.

The perfect blend of rich ethnic customs and modern spirit

In this piece of music, we can not only feel the rich Mongolian cultural atmosphere, but also appreciate the positive and upward spirit of the grassland people in the new era. Through his exquisite composition skills and profound emotional expression, Liu Changfu has integrated the ancient traditions with the modern spirit, making "New Herdsmen on the Grassland" a classic work that has both historical depth and a sense of the times.
