Qi Qingnuo saw it and said it bluntly: "...the lack of harmony theory in folk music is well known. I think we need to try to enrich it. Maybe the teachers think that 306 is not rigorous enough, but I think it is not a bad thing to learn from it.

..." She concluded as if writing a review, without any personal emotion.

This is indeed the problem Yang Jingxing encountered. When arranging "Sun in the Rain", he had countless ready-made experiences and techniques that he could use. It was equivalent to learning knowledge points to solve problems related to this knowledge point. As long as he mastered

As long as it's solid enough and not too stupid, it's totally fine.

"Sun in the Rain" sounds good and very commercial! To put it seriously, it is not a work of art from the hands of an artist, but an excellent product of skilled craftsmen.

But the new music tailor-made for 306 is completely different. Look at this band, it’s just weird. Of course, there are already many such groups that play Western music under the guise of folk music, and some even

Do a good job and gain some attention or success.

But Yang Jingxing's goals and vision are obviously of a strange type. Look at his main melody structure, the use of various musical form techniques in the score, and the richness of various composition techniques. He spent several months,

The goal is obviously not to write a ditty that sounds like it, so that 306 can get a little cheers and applause like playing the so-called folk version of "Sun in the Rain".

If it is just played with national musical instruments, it may not be true folk music. Or it may still be the ancestors' "Overlord Removes His Armor", "Mountains and Flowing Waters", "Two Springs Reflect the Moon"... Repeated a hundred times, a hundred times. The best thing is to hug the ancestors' thighs

If there is no future and no development, it means death.

Of course, in addition to Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo, there are many musicians who have the ideal to develop folk music. The more advanced ones can write some instrumental works and add a bit of Chinese flavor to the modes, which sounds very real. But occasionally

A pipa tune or an erhu tune cannot save folk music.

Development is the last word. When Yang Jingxing was learning erhu from Shao Fangjie, Shao Fangjie once talked about her idol, a top erhu player who had lived abroad, named Xu Xu. This great master’s contribution to erhu is the real inheritance.

, without development, your inheritance is of no use!

When Xu performed "Flight of the Bumblebee" on the erhu, or when he performed "Song of the Wanderer" with a Western orchestra, his unparalleled skills allowed the erhu to create a new interpretation of the music... As

Our new generation of descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties may at some point be more proud than listening to "Er Quan Ying Yue".

Now what Yang Jingxing wants to do is just like this, but not in terms of playing skills, but in terms of composition skills. But of course he is not shameless enough to shout out his ideals to his friends and teachers, so he can only nod in agreement.

Qi Qingnuo’s words: “I want to find some new methods.”

In fact, Qi Qingnuo obviously made an attempt in this regard when she wrote "The Clouds Clear and the Fog Disperses". She did not fail, but she was not very successful. Therefore, although "The Clouds Open and the Fog Disperses" is an excellent work, it did not succeed.

It has been praised by teachers and experts.

Nowadays, so many people are failing in various attempts to develop folk music. Another big reason is the lack of knowledge of traditional music theory. Although we are a music-loving nation, even though we have songs like "Er Quan Ying Yue"

Musical works that can make top conductors kneel down after listening to them, but we do not have systematic theoretical knowledge. For thousands of years, we have not even had notation. So many musical works can only be passed down orally. How much has been lost!

Melody and rhythm are perceptual and physiological. A person who has never heard of music can also feel and even create melody and rhythm. But harmony cannot do this, which requires a wealth of theoretical knowledge to organize and arrange rationally.

The most regrettable thing is that our knowledge of harmony theory in traditional music is basically zero. But modern music cannot lack harmony and chords. Even "Er Fountain Reflects the Moon" is accompanied by an orchestra. This is the market!

Of course, what's marketable doesn't necessarily mean it's good. When Seiji Ozawa conducted the string ensemble in "Er Spring Reflects the Moon" for the first time, he was almost perfunctory, but after he heard the solo, he cried and knelt down.

However, we can't ask every Erhu student born in the 1980s and 1990s to strive for the goal of making the conductor kneel down, right? Do we, more than a billion people, only have so much ability!

After listening to Qi Qingnuo's explanation of Yang Jingxing's thoughts, Gong Xiaoling stopped hiding it. Although the little talent and enthusiasm Yang Jingxing showed seemed to be a drop in the bucket in front of the big topic of "developing folk music," she
