"Phoenix spreads its wings" is a Sheng Solo composed by Dong Hongde and Hu Tianquan in 1956. Phoenix was called ruiniao in ancient times. It is said that it is the king of birds, symbolizing beauty and happiness. The music adopts Shanxi Bangzi tone, uses Sheng's various playing skills, vividly depicts various beautiful postures of Phoenix, and expresses the yearning for a better life. This song won the gold medal in the folk music competition of the sixth World Youth Festival in 1957. Accompanied by pipa.

This piece is also the first solo of the Chinese mainland since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, Hu Tianquan is known as "the father of modern Sheng".

Song structure

First, the accompaniment (folk band or only Pipa) plays a free and quiet melody. Then the Sheng starts with a powerful trilogy, and then plays a long vibrating sound with the technique of exhaling the tongue, just like a phoenix whizzing its beautiful feathers and flapping its wings to fly.

The first section from D key to G key, melody like song, beautiful and moving. Using the "flower tongue" technique to play the descending short pitch is like a phoenix singing.

The second part is from slow to fast, light and cheerful, just like a phoenix dancing,

In the third section, it turns to a key again. It uses the common creation techniques of folk instrumental music "Suizi" section, revolves around the central tone (Shangyin re), and through the contraction of sentence width, makes the music continue to grow and move forward. Finally, it uses the "Hulu" technique to blow out the broad and high spirited long sound, and outlines the image of the phoenix flying in the sky.

Hu Tianquan's "hutongue" technique has been used many times in performance, which greatly enriches the musical image of phoenix spreading its wings.
