Promote the benevolence of academic research and establish the style of the generation of scholars. Today I will introduce to you the story of Mr. Zheng Qia, a well-known local wise man in Haojiang, who devoted his life to protecting and inheriting the Chaoyue culture.

▲Mr. Zheng Qia
Autumn window stroking the Yaoqiu facing the moon, and playing the clear sound. The song “Remembering the Old Friend” is lightly wiped out. Myanmar’s ancestors, every time I whisper, tears are touched. I vaguely peek at the shadows, and I can’t find the sky when I see it. In the autumn night, I am playing the piano and remembering my grandfather, Grandfather Qiao Gong’s voice and appearance are still there, and tears wet my clothes. The poem is here – “Telling Hearts” to express my grief…
My grandfather Zheng Qiao, originally from Mukeng Palace in Miancheng, Chaoyang, was a wise man and famous teacher in the Chaoshan music industry. Good at temple painting and exquisite academic figures. What I learned throughout my life is profound and profound, and I especially value Confucianism and joy in educating people. He is committed to the inheritance of traditional culture and traditional music and is the founder of the dissemination and development of Chaoyang Ditao Music in Haojiang. My grandfather lost his father at the age of a young age and was able to sell fried dough sticks at Chaoyang Tower at the age of eight. However, he is eager to study and lingers in the academies and bookshelf all day long. I got the mercy of the old man in the private school and allowed him to study for free. He is also smart and always stays in temples and music halls, and is fascinated by calligraphy, painting and music art. At the age of twelve, he studied under Mr. Chen Wulu, a famous chauvinist of the “Yangchun Garden” Leshe in Chaoyang. He was highly valued and accepted as a disciple of the family, teaching Chaoyang flute sets ancient music and string poetry music. After obtaining his true teachings, he is especially good at drums and flutes. During the Anti-Japanese War, Chaoyang’s “Yangchun Garden” Music Society stopped all drills, and his grandfather moved to Dahao. Dahao was always the capital of Chaoyang County recruitment. Guangxu (Chaoyang County Chronicles) recorded: “There are many people in the area, including reciting strings and poetry and books.” After settling down, he met local celebrities such as Wu Xuehong, Zheng Jieru, Zheng Fuxuan, Lin Zhonghong, Li Yongzhi, and fellow music clubs such as Zheng Senyao and Yao Biaoqing. He deeply felt that Dahao’s humanities and history had a solid foundation. However, he felt very sorry that there were few people who dabbled in Chaoyang Di Fu’s ancient music in this place, and thus he had the idea of spreading and carrying forward it. Therefore, we entertain ourselves first and then attract enthusiasts to observe and learn. By the 1950s, there were more than 40 enthusiasts such as Wu Guozhe, Cai Zhaowu, Li Qinru, Wu Tongguang, and Yang Dan, who practiced Chaoyang flute set music and Chaozhou silk string music in batches. In the 1960s, hundreds of students were studying Cinema. Zheng YuJie, Huang Tingke, Wu Muqing, Huang Tengsen, Wan Mianshui, etc., either make a living for learning art, or become a disciple for learning art due to their interests and hobbies. As the number of disciples and disciples who followed one after another increased, they were eager to use Changxuan as a learning venue. He also considered the original intention of passing on his art and wanted to restore the “Yangchun Garden” music company that was interrupted and suspended due to the turmoil of the current situation. So he resolutely set up a hall in the neighboring house, used his home as a hall, and carved wooden drum pavilions, and wrote a note by himself: “Yangchun Garden Music Hall”, and wrote a couplet with the head of “Yangchun” as the music hall: “The three suns bloom and the peace will be reunited, and the first plum blossoms in spring will be the first branch.” To pray for the prosperity of the country, the “Yangchun Garden Music Hall” connects the past and the future, promotes excellent traditional culture, and inherits and develops Chaoyang Dimension Music. Once the venue is established, the rules must be determined, the teacher must be strict, and benevolent and etiquette must be learned. Whenever the students start and stop every day, students must bow their hands in front of the pavilion when entering the classroom and must not be disrespectful. At that time, he continued to accept disciples, unpack and add musical instruments, and taught free skills such as flute sets of gongs and drums, flute sets of gongs and drums, and flute sets of gongs and drums, court music, temple music, string poetry music, and Chaozhou gongs and drums. Flute music is divided into “Flute music” and “Flute music”. The ancient music of Flute Tao originated from the palace music of the Tang and Song dynasties. It is the accumulation of ancient music flowing into Chaoyang and evolved with local music. Because of the special Chaoyang accent, it forms a deep, heavy, solemn, elegant and unique rhythm. “Flute Ancient Music” belongs to the Confucian Temple School, mainly composed of Sheng, Xiao, Guan and Flute. The flute is led by the music, accompanied by Sanxian, Pipa, Zheng, Yueqin, Qinqin and ancient string music, and is accompanied by the performance of small eight-tones such as bells, Qing, Muyu, Jieban, Zhe drum, Sumuban, Wuyin gong, and Xiangzhan. It retains more the simplicity, solemnity and elegance of court music. The performance style is harmonious, square and graceful. The main tracks include “Four Scenerys”, “Headlight Tower”, etc. “Flute Set Gongshu” belongs to the folk school. In addition to retaining the tone and set structure of the traditional ancient music, it is equipped with the Jiangsu opera Su Gongshu and Chaozhou Da Gongshu percussion instruments, forming the open, bright, fresh and elegant “Flute Set Su Gongshu” that are lively, light and joyful and jumping “Flute Set Xiao Xiao CinemaBoardshu” and the high-pitched, passionate, vigorous and enthusiastic “Flute Set Da Gongshu”. Its category is mainly distinguished from the supporting use of light and heavy musical instruments. At the same time, the second-class flute music combines the unique charm of Chaoyang dialect with low pronunciation and powerful Dantian.
▲The traditional music score “Kung Ruo Score” hand-copied and compiled by Mr. Zheng Qia
“The ancient music of flutes is Confucian music!” grandfather often said. The performance should be elegant and humble, and the dignified manner is especially true. The drummer is particularly good at “not looking up at the face, not looking up at the hammer, not over the eyebrows”. The ancient musical instrument “Horizontal Flute” is the unique blowing technique “Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail Finger” which is the only way to play fingering. From the podium, style and even the supporting program, it is necessary to use the hard and soft set of string orchestration according to the traditional repertoire to inherit the ancient music of the flute set and the thousand-year-old charm and elegant style. The second string music is the Chaozhou string musical instrument, which is the unique ancient instrument of Chaoshan. It is also known as the “head and hand string”. It should be remembered that the handle is the most important thing to pay attention to “steady and walk the bow, and demeanor is the key.” The performance should be solid and the bow is solid and the fingers are strong and soft, strong but not noise, and weak but not weak. In the use of sentence patterns, we must make both gorgeous sentences, but also moderately and formal, fully reflecting the rigid, flexible, steady and elegant playing style and performance characteristics.
At that time, no matter how severe cold and heat, no matter how sunny or rainy, the old house built by my grandfather, there were endless singing and playing gongs and drums in the old tiger house. Or sit around three or five, clap your palms and play the string poem set with the traditional music score “Kong Chi Note”, or play the flute in pairs, practice the big gongs, drums, small gongs and drums in the afternoon, and even the string ensemble in the evening, without interruption. At six o’clock in the morning, the disciples living in the music hall must get up on time. After washing, they either eat soy milk, fried dough sticks, or drink the five-nut noodle soup made by my grandfather, and then stand in pairs in pairs in the door yard and practice playing the flute in turn. It is called the “‘Yao’ string full flute”! Before practicing flute, you must not be empty-handed, and the alchemy energy is insufficient and the air is not smooth. My grandfather sat upright on the side of the big eight immortal table in the middle of the hall, slapped with a drum board, half-closed his eyes, and carefully observed whether the luck and exhalation were smooth and correct when listening to the flute. Following traditional fingering, rigorously and standardize the playing techniques with the starting sentence “picking, patting, covering, and wiping” and the rhymes and the sentences are clear and complete. The performance exercises of each piece of music must be sung with the traditional music score “Kongzi Score” until it is familiar and smooth before it can be practiced in solo and ensemble.
▲The disciples participated in the 1984 “Shantou Island Summer Concert” performance of the flute and gong Su Gong “Autumn Night in Fishing Island” Si Gu: Wu Shunxi
Grandfather taught his apprenticeship, and there was no teaching.Class, teach according to your aptitude, and teach solemnly. After Wu Shunyi, a disciple of the disciple, learned the flute playing technique, he continued to practice the yangqin. His grandfather Juele Hall originally equipped with the butterfly piano was no longer suitable for his synchronous practice, so he asked a friend to buy a three-stair yangqin from Beijing to continue his disciples’ ability to practice the utensils. Later, Wu Shunyi and his eight-year-old younger brother Wu Shunxi learned his skills. His grandfather first tried to use various plucking instruments and percussion instruments to see his character. After careful examination of the interview, I realized that his nature is smart, has a superb musical feeling, and is quick to do it. This is a material that can be made of Chaomu Drums. Then he strictly defined the framework: to learn drum art, he needed to enlighten the flute from the main instrument of the flute music, and then to be proficient in other plucking instruments. This is to lay the foundation of its music and help it understand its musical connotation. Through learning different instruments, master the musical expression forms and characteristics of each instrument, understand the complementary contrast of each instrument’s expression forms, and give full play to the commanding role of drums during the performance. After learning the art for several years, he received careful guidance from his grandfather. The brothers Wu Shunyi and Wu Shunxi, who are quite talented in music, have already obtained their true teachings and superb skills. I remember an older brother who walked to the music hall in the evening about a hundred meters away. He heard the loud, exciting, melodious, but simple and quiet sound of flutes from afar, which was very pleasant! However, I was very surprised that there was such a big sound in the solo of the flute? After careful analysis, it was not like playing the double flute. In a while, he was puzzled, and walked slowly to the entrance of the music hall, and stopped in shock: Wu Shunyi and Wu Shunxi were standing in front of the hall, playing the flute music “Happy Lantern Tower” in conjunction with the flute. Even though he clapped his hands and sighed: The sound of nature is a wonderful combination! Although my grandfather was always so powerful that he was not angry, he was occasionally angry! I remember that it was one night when I was fifteen years old, and my senior brothers still arrived at the music hall one after another. The first ones came were my honest and honest uncle, thirty years older than me, and as if he was dozing off while pulling the “head and hand string”, Cinema and the junior brother Wu Shunxi, who I call “Leibi”. As usual, my brother debugged the flute, and the uncle mastered his second strings, Wu Shunxi took out the coconut beard, and at the same time I also Babaylan adjusted the yangqin, and a string poem “Crown Playing in the Water” began the ensemble. Grandfather was still sitting on the side of his big eight immortal table, playing with a sumac board while controlling the slow pace of the drum belt. Grandfather often said, “It is difficult to have a string poem, although it is not easy to have a slow music, the difficulty lies in ‘fast but not chaotic, slow but constant’!” After two rounds, Komi ks, my grandfather’s drum introduction turned and continued to do the second board. At this moment, my mind was distracted and the connection was in a mess. With a angrily shout, the small drum in my grandfather’s hand flew straight towards the direction where I was sitting. The little Lebi Wu Shunxi was so scared that he hugged the coconut beard in his hand and hid far away. And I was so shocked that I held the pair of piano chopsticks in my hand tightly and kept wiping my tears. But my uncle was already very awake at this time, and he saw him standing beside his grandfather, lowering his voice and cautiously, “Sir, don’t be angry, don’t be angry,” and constantly persuading him. Finally, fortunately, my mother, who heard the sound, rushed out, and my grandfather gradually calmed down. Since then, we no longer dare to slack off or be inattentive in our studies! Of course, for those apprentices who are good at taking action or are diligent and studious, their grandfather will also commend them very much. Any specialty cakes, snacks and other items given by friends will be given priority to sharers, and some will be awarded the honor of accompanying their grandfather to go out to do business and visit friends, and some will be regarded as the most treasure by the instruments given by their grandfather!
However, my grandfather was the twelfth disciple of Mr. Huang Xingtai, a master of Chaoshan astrology and geomantics. He was well versed in the academic numbers of star fate, Qimen, geomantics, and auspiciousness. As early as the age of eighteen, my grandfather had studied traditional flute music, and had already dabbled in many ways, including calligraphy, painting, medicine, etc. During this period, he was appreciated by Mr. Chen Bingji, a folk painter in Guiyu, and was taught fine brushwork lacquer paintings and temple paintings. After finishing the class, he was particularly famous for his “door god’s inverted painting” (that is, the door god’s strokes start from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head). At the same time, due to his painting skills, Mr. Huang Xingtai, a master of Chaoshan Astrology and Constellation, was highly valued by Mr. Huang Xingtai, and was admitted as a disciple of the family, teaching meritocratic academic mathematics and astronomy and calendar. After several years of becoming a teacher, the students have been studying hard for their grandfather’s lifelong studies, and they always find the essence and feel happy! Therefore, every day, there are endless people visiting and discussing skills, taking children to learn calligraphy and painting art, or asking questions and answering doubts. In the front hall and backyard of Yangchun Garden Music Hall, all disciples follow the teaching rules, learn skills, and be harmonious with static and dynamic. The disciples in the Music Hall are nearly 60 years old. My grandfather precepts: No high or low learning, no long or short learning, there are orders of knowledge, and specialized skills in skills. A wise man should not “use his or her talents to judge his or her generation” or “use his or her skills to deceive him or her.” When learning art, you must first establish quality, know etiquette and righteousness, and be humble. Being kind to others is the foundation of being a human being, and being harmonious is the way to deal with the world. Only by being one’s heart and virtue can one make one’s knowledge profound and carry forward.

In addition to his studies,Mr. Yang Guangquan of Shantou Opera School has been discussing skills with his grandfather many times, and had a great time talking to each other. He worked together to inherit and develop excellent traditional music culture and always had a consensus on interviewing each other. While passing on his skills, he did not forget to collect and organize the folk information of Chaoyang Di sound set. It started in the 1960s and participated in the Chaoyang Folk Music Research Group and often traveled to and from Chaoyang folk music clubs to collect, organize and edit folk music materials. In the 1980s, Mr. Zheng Zhiwei of Chaole Research Office also visited the music hall for several months. Chaole Research Office scholars Zhuang Lizhu, Lin Shengmin and others visited many times, and Cinema, with the support and assistance of his grandfather, discovered and sorted out folk information. The proofreading and compiling Chaoyang flute musical scores and gongs and drum scores are used for systematic collection and organization. During this period, the music score was compiled by grandfather and rehearsed by his disciples. He participated in the “Shantou Island Summer Concert” in 1984, and also participated in the new flute Su gong and drum “Autumn Night in Fishing Island”, which was highly praised by the industry. After watching the Chinese musicians Li Guyi and Jin Tielin, they were amazed at the ancient music of flutes. After the performance, various news media and Chinese meteorological singer Luo Tianchan invited each other to interview and report.
The teacher is engraved with a hundred generations, and the ancestors are virtuous for thousands of years! My grandfather’s enthusiasm and dedication to inheriting and promoting traditional music was not disappointed. The scene of teaching and educating people through my whole life is still vivid in my mind! The “Three Treasures of Folk Art Series of Chaoyang” praised it: “Accumulate virtue and respect goodness, teach art and people, and is deeply loved by disciples. It can be called a role model for Chinese traditional culture teachers.” Note: Hook, pick, put together, and wipe: fingering method of playing the guqin; “Remembering Old Friends”: The famous guqin song; Qia Gong: surnamed Zheng, name Yonghua, name, and name Qixian.
