"There are so many people in this world, how lucky that I have one of us." A warm and moving pop song has a unique flavor when performed by traditional instruments such as suona, Konghou, Zhongruan, and guzheng.

At this special time, Shanghai launched an 8-hour live broadcast of new Chinese music. 16 Chinese music artists took turns to play, 12 kinds of Chinese musical instruments were "mixed and matched", and nearly 50 pieces of music were innovatively performed, presenting a very rich "" Fun in the Clouds".

The ancient folk music broke the dimension and narrowed the distance with the young people

"From musical instrument production to performance, many folk music are intangible cultural heritage. Exploring the flow code of traditional Chinese music is also a beneficial attempt to integrate intangible cultural heritage into modern life." said the relevant person in charge of the organizer Shanghai Great World. The reporter saw that during the entire 8-hour live broadcast, ancient folk music broke out of the dimension, blooming young and charming colors in the collision of tradition and modernity, narrowing the distance between the public, especially young people, and intangible cultural heritage. .

A piece of "High Mountains and Flowing Water", guzheng player Sun Wenyan, who is over eighty years old, plays it with ease. The representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage project "Jiangnan Sizhu" in Shanghai is known as the "grandmother" of Guzheng at station B. She took over the baton of the inheritance of Jiangnan Sizhu from her father, national musician Sun Yude, and devoted her life to the research and inheritance of Jiangnan Sizhu. "Jiangnan Sizhu was also a trendy music in the last century. I am keeping the traditional things for young people, and the continued inheritance of Jiangnan Sizhu depends on the younger generation." Sun Wenyan is gratified that now, the national music has found a place in Vietnam. More and more young bosom friends.

Konghou is a traditional musical instrument that looks "much like a harp", and not many people know it before. In order to promote the culture of Konghou, Man Baojiang, a popular anchor of the post-90s generation, will broadcast live on Douyin every week, and the audience will order songs on the spot. She can not only play the two-dimensional Divine Comedy "Nine Nine Eighty-One" with Konghou, but also the popular songs "Meet" and "Broad Ocean", as well as Western classic music "Canon", movie music "Out of Egypt", etc., Konghou Of course the traditional classics go without saying. Where the fingers fly, the sound of the piano murmurs. At present, she has more than 6 million likes on Douyin. She said that as long as someone knows Konghou through her Douyin account, she will keep playing and teaching. "We are the group of people who are going to promote the development of folk music in the future."

On the non-genetic inheritance path, more people will have more possibilities to join

"Ruan, there are 4 strings and 24 frets. The 4 strings represent the four seasons of the year, and the 24 frets represent the 24 solar terms. This is our ancestors' reverence for nature. It can imitate many kinds of musical instruments and integrate various Musical instruments. It is like 'glue' in a folk orchestra, 'sticking' multiple musical instruments together." Zhang Zheyuan and Li Ziyuan explained traditional musical instruments - Ruan. The performance of the Zhongruan couple in the fourth season of "National Music Ceremony" once made Sa Dingding and other Chinese music partners stand and cheer for them. Of the five pieces of music in the live broadcast, three were originals by two people, with their own rock and roll aura, full of youthful atmosphere. "There will be some voices of doubt about what we are doing now, but seeing that many people like it, we know that the path we insist on is the right one." Li Ziyuan said.

On the road of non-genetic inheritance, more people will join in, and there will be more possibilities. On the same day, the Palace Museum specially invited Yang Zhijian, a guqin expert, Wu Jiabao, a first-class liuqin player, Zhang Gazhen, a representative musician of Northwest folk music, and the post-90s trendy label group Xinyuefu Folk Music Atmosphere Group, all of which participated in the live broadcast of the "Yun Shang Le Banquet". Suona performer Hu Chenyun combined suona with electroacoustic, breaking people's stereotypes about ancient musical instruments, which is surprising. Before becoming popular on the Internet, the national first-class performer has been thinking: with the development of the times, how can the traditional suona culture spread faster and break the circle better? The innovation of folk music is always accompanied by various controversies. Some people worry that the cross-border integration will "go out" and lose the original flavor of folk music. There is always controversy about the boundaries of folk music innovation. Hu Chenyun said frankly that since it is a cross-border, it should not set too many restrictions. "We often say that classical music should do this, and pop music should do that. In fact, it limits many people's love for music, or limits the development of their own art. Chinese musical instruments can keep pace with the times and can be used in every style. Try it all, so that more people will love and learn, and it will truly be passed down.”
