Eighteen Clappers

Folk music adaptation: Li Yi Nationality: Han Region: Henan

Big Three Strings: Wang Yu

Eighteen Plates was originally a folk music that spread in Henan Province and was used to perform before local opera and Quyi performances. It was performed in various forms including pendant, pipe and suona. In 1953, the famous Sanxian master Mr. Li Yi adapted it into a Sanxian solo, and established Sanxian as a solo instrument with this song and "Big Waves Panning Sand", making it independent to the broad stage.

At the beginning, it is quite a spirited sweep string, as if stepping on the historic Central Plains, and then, smooth and vivid tunes, full of local flavor, simple big glisson, slightly awkward, but friendly, like a concerned greeting. The music is varied, from light and lively to warm and prosperous, which is singing and dancing to celebrate the harvest and celebrate the reunion. At the end, the string is continuously swept, playing the noisy gongs and drums, sonorous and powerful, rendering the lively scene of jubilation and prosperity, showing the ancient and vigorous vitality of the Central Plains.
