Chapter 9: Music Enlightenment Teachers and the Method of Breathing

Fill out the list and send the courier, and chat with the sentry standing guard in the living area at the door of the office, the post in the living area is relatively easier than the work area, after all, it is far away from the leader's office. Even the sentry's posture was much more casual. Even so, Xiao Wu didn't dare to talk for too long, looked at the time, and rode back leisurely.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu met his uncle Xiao Hong at the door of the guest house, accompanied by a few leaders of the hostel, and what was said while standing there, Xiao Wu hurriedly lowered his head and pretended that no one saw it, and rode over quickly. When I got to the door of the work area, I almost forgot to get out of the car to push it, and the wheels were pressed into the door before I remembered to get down, and laughed at the sentry.

Back in the office, Xiao Wu was still thinking, it seemed that he hadn't been to his uncle's house for two weeks, and it seemed that he was going to report to him. Or I'm going to be trained again.

When he returned to the office and looked at the time, it was not half of the afternoon, he was idle and bored, writing and marking on the A2 computer printer paper that he had ordered, and planning how to go in the future. Make a circle, write "song", and then write lyrics, compose, and sing around the circle. Write the musical instrument in a circle, and then write the harmonica, erhu, guitar, and organ around it. These are the ones he will. He will not include "elegant" instruments such as violin and piano. For a rural child, the harmonica was self-taught, and the erhu was learned from an old man behind his house. The old man spent the first half of his life performing in the rivers and lakes. Later, when life was better, he returned to his hometown and settled down. Xiao Wu's interest in music should be said to come from him.

Every summer, the old man would pull up his erhu covered in snake skin. As soon as the babbling sounded, many children in the village gathered at his door to listen. But no child dared to come to his house, because the old man never smiled, which made the children afraid of him. Everyone only dared to gather outside his yard, and no one dared to enter.

The sound of the erhu is poignant, if the violin is compared to a lively and lovely girl, the piano is just an elegant gentleman, and the erhu, the erhu is a weathered old man, he has seen through the warmth and coldness of the world, the rise and fall of yesterday's glory and disgrace has long gone, leaving only the erhu in his hand, and the sound of the huqin like crying.

"Huqin babbles and pulls, in the night of ten thousand lights, pull over and over, endless stories of Cangsang - don't ask!" This text in Zhang Ailing's "Love in a Fallen City" was the first time Xiao Wu saw it.

When the old man pulls up the erhu, it is like commenting on a story of vicissitudes, and people can't help but follow the erhu sound with melancholy and sadness, sadness and tears. The song is lyrical, the music is thoughtful, and many famous music are because the author places his emotions in it!

Some people in the village speculated that the old man used to go to the rivers and lakes, and some people said that he used to be a martial arts master, but he was later killed by the enemy's wife and children, and then he retired to the rivers and lakes in frustration after taking revenge. Some people also said that he used to be an actor, but then the troupe dispersed and there was nowhere to go, so he returned to his hometown. But no matter what others said, the old man never argued. So speculation can only be speculation, just to cover him with a cloak of mystery.

I learned the erhu when Xiao Wushang was in the third grade, and the music teacher talked about Chinese musical instruments, such as guzheng, pipa, erhu, etc., and then asked the students what instruments they could use. Some people say flute, some say harmonica, Xiao Wu didn't say anything, because he didn't know anything. After returning home from school, he mustered up the courage to go into the old man's home for the first time and proposed the idea of learning to the old man.

"You want to learn erhu?" the old man's voice was full of surprise, not as stern as Xiao Wuxiang thought. "Why?"

"Because it sounds good. Xiao Wu is realistic, he does think that the voice of the erhu is very good, and he has not heard anyone in the class say that he can play the erhu.

"Because it sounds good!" the old man repeated Xiao Wu's reply. After being silent for a while, he finally agreed to Xiao Wu.

The old man's house not only has an erhu, but also a flute and a pipa, but Xiao Wu doesn't like the flute because he is young and the old drum doesn't play the flute. The pipa, on the other hand, can be plucked a few times, and after learning the phrase "still holding the pipa and half covering his face", he never touches the pipa again, because he thinks that it is a musical instrument for women. I learned erhu until high school, and when I was in high school, Xiao Wu became obsessed with the guitar again, so he gradually put down the erhu.

Later, the old man grew old in the third year after Xiao Wu graduated from high school and went to the institute with his uncle, and when Xiao Wu knew, it was already in a letter home a month later. The letter made a brief mention. In the eyes of Xiao Wu's parents, Xiao Wu just loves to play and learn to play erhu with the old man, they don't know that Xiao Wu and the old man are not only learning erhu, but also a set of breathing methods. The old man didn't say that this breathing method could play any role, and Xiao Wu really didn't feel any function to strengthen his body. It's just that later in the period of time in Xiao Wuming's bar, I felt a lot of mid-air when singing, as if there was always a breath of energy in the dantian to top my voice. This allows him to pull up a lot of the treble and sink the bass, but that's about it. Other than that, Xiao Wu didn't find any other special abilities. This method of breathing has become a habit, and it runs naturally when walking, sitting, and lying down.

Later, Xiao Wu went home, went to the old man's tomb, and played the song "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" with the erhu, and when he left, he buried the erhu in front of the old man's tomb. This is a person who gave him musical enlightenment, he doesn't even know the old man's name, he only knows, the old man's surname is Jiang.

The organ is the kind of foot pedaling, and Xiao Wuhe learned it from a music teacher in junior high school, and he only knew how to do it. Xiao Wu once thought about learning piano, but he couldn't find a way to learn it.

Xiao Wu said how good it is, but he feels better than the average little singer, after all, he used to mix in a bar and sang in a bar with a guitar on his back for a while. Many people think that as long as they can sing, they can sing in a bar, but this is not the case. If you don't have good singing skills and can't sing well, the guests in the bar will heckle you down. If you sing well, they will also give you a round of applause and even a reward. Therefore, many singers who have had a bar experience, after becoming famous, believe that the experience of singing in a bar is an important experience in their lives.

As for lyrics and composition, it is not important to Xiao Wuji now, because he had systematically studied music for two years when he was preparing to enter the conservatory of music in high school, and he was no stranger to notation. Now Xiao Wu only needs to compose the tunes of those classic songs in his memory. Anyway, he is the only one in the world who knows these songs. Just to deal with some unknown accidents in the future, Xiao Wu felt that when he still had to go to the city to find a place to study composition.

The institute is surrounded by mountains and is built in a large mountain nest, and the city is in the north, and it takes about 35 minutes to get to the city by shuttle bus. The bus ride outside takes about 50 minutes, and it doesn't get to the city center. Sometimes buses don't wait for half an hour. Therefore, the people in the institute basically take the shuttle bus to travel. It was probably because the army relaxed the car buying system this year that many families began to buy private cars. So at this time, if you go to the city on Sunday, you have to go to the queue early, otherwise you will stand all the way to the city.
