Works review

Qin said

Musical expression cannot be separated from musical instruments. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang wrote in Qin Shuo that Qin could "understand morality, feel ghosts and gods, beautify customs and be elegant". Xue Yijian of Tang Dynasty thinks that "the music of Qin can observe the wind and teach, report the soul, debate the happiness and anger, please the feelings, calm the spirit and strengthen the courage, and can eliminate the worldly customs and check the ghosts and gods, which is also the good person of Qin." After listening to the erhu master Jiang Cairu's Erhu performance, we have a deep understanding of the above discussion of the ancients.

The Golden sun

Jiang Cairu's name is the pronoun of erhu music art. When he was still a freshman at the Central Conservatory of music, he created such an excellent work as "there is a golden sun in Beijing", which became a classic of erhu. In the following years, he created and played a lot of masterpieces. These excellent works expound the true meaning of human civilization, pour out social care, express the beautiful passion of the world, and show the beauty, wisdom, elegance and loftiness of human life. The spiritual penetration of the audience makes the audience have a strong resonance. Later, Jiang Cairu's music such as "happy Yi village", "a golden sun in Beijing", "spring in Liangshan" and "military and civilian music" brought people the joyful scene of young Yi people singing and dancing with Lusheng in their hands during the Lusheng playing; Liangshan in spring, with thousands of trees in spring, green branches, birds singing and people's joy of living a new life; and full enjoyment It shows the deep love of the army and the people. The bowstring of Jiang Cairu's art has been stirring people's heartstrings. The beautiful feelings he has learned are like a trickle, flowing happily in the heart of many music.

Empty mountain birds

His performance of "empty mountain birds" brings people into the poetic realm of "wild mountains, thousands of trees, different singing of birds, gorgeous dancing with songs, singing of birds". With his passionate performance and superb skills, his "galloping horses" brings people into the fierce battlefield with the roar of killing, the roar of horses and the thrill of soul. It seems that the fighting and shouting at the end of Changbanpo bridge in the past are reappeared in front of us. It seems that we can see the grassland Cossack cavalry dashing bravely with their sharp swords, and we can also feel the bloody fighting and blood roaring of 3000 guanning cavalry. Jiang Cairu's playing "two springs reflecting the moon" with a dignified and pathetic mood fully grasps and shows the plight of a folk artist at that time. Through the low, desolate, tactful and exciting sound of the strings, people feel sad and sad, and feel the unyielding publicity of musician a Bing's life fate, making the music eternal as new in art.
