Chapter Twenty-Six: The Jingyun Drum

The form of the West River drum is more attractive than the storytelling!

Storytelling is that Mr. Storyteller simply sits there, with a fan, a piece of waking wood, and a mouth to tell the story!

Unless Mr. Storyteller is very capable, it is easy to make the audience below burnout!

The Xihe drum is different, its form is half speaking and half singing, the drum will sing a section for a while, and then put down the drum and the canon, like a storyteller, continuing to tell the story!

This form made the book fans at that time very interested, very interesting, and the content was varied, not like a book review, so monotonous!

The Xihe drum not only sings a large set of commentaries, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", but also many folk stories, which can be performed!

However, like many traditional Chinese folk arts, the Xihe drum cannot avoid the dilemma of breaking the dynasty.

In this era, there is almost no market for Xihe drums!

Even those artists in the Xihe Drum Gate are basically the same as the storytelling door, only telling stories and no longer playing drums!

Even some young artists don't know how to play drums at all, and the best part of this art is about to be lost!

This can't be blamed on the artist, after all, if you really follow the way of the Xihe drum in the past, every time you perform, you have to bring the drum, and you have to have an artist who plays the three strings to follow.

To put it mildly, a part of the money earned will be divided!

It's better to be alone, quietly say a book, and make the money yourself!

However, nowadays, there are very few places where there is a place for artists to tell stories!

The decline of storytelling is also the reason for the development of the times.

Chu Lianxiang played out a waste card in his hand and said with a smile, ""Tune Kou", I haven't sung it for many years, but I keep all the master's texts back then, and I'll find them for you later, but it is estimated that it will not be complete!" ”

Han Shuqin said with a smile on her face, "Then thank you Sister Chu!" ”

Another old lady asked, "Sister Chu, I just listened to your "Coal Mountain Hate", there seems to be some content in it, which is not the same as what I heard before!" ”

Chu Lianxiang smiled slightly and said, "Of course, this play is about to be lost, and now even the text is left in the middle, and the beginning of this paragraph is still recorded by me according to my master's recording, but it is not complete, oops, this good thing, when I am gone, it is estimated that it will really be gone!" ”

Han Shuqin also sighed and said, "Yes, when Sister Sun died, a large number of unique skills that only she knew were lost, and her apprentices really didn't inherit it, and Sister Sun's good art didn't stay!" ”

An old man at the other table also sighed when he heard this, and said, "Who says it's not, the death of an old gentleman represents the demise of a batch of works. ”

"Who said it wasn't, when we were young, you look at how many places on the street are playing tricks, listening to books and listening to plays, the old gentlemen at that time were really a skill, we were in that environment, you look at the present, there is no such environment, and now, the children are more expensive than one gold, who will put the future of the children in the hands of our group of people!"

The other old man also sighed and said with a melancholy expression!

Shang Changrong, who was playing chess, was accidentally eaten by Feng Xiaozhi and lost a horse, sweating all over his head, hearing the complaints of these people, he couldn't help but say coldly, "You old guys, you salty radishes and don't worry about it, how old are you, play your cards well, it's hard to get together once, don't complain here, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!" ”

Hearing this, an old man immediately sneered at him.

"You old Shang, your Peking Opera has a good momentum, and it is the object of national support, of course you don't have to worry about it, but our Jingyun drum can still be heard in a few small gardens in Jinmen, and it is about to be lost!"

The Jingyun drum is an important genre in Jinmen opera, and it is also the first type of music in the music industry that year.

In those years, in the music industry of Jinmen, the Jingyun drum occupied half of the rivers and mountains, and was one of the most popular types of music in Jinmen.

However, now, with the development of the times, this art has slowly begun to decline.

This name is Yang Shigang, although he is not very famous, but his ancestor is Master Liu Baoquan, the king of the drum world who is famous in the Jingyun drum world!

Liu Baoquan is the first person to drum in Beijing in the absolute sense, and his status is exactly the same as that of Mr. Tan Xinpei in the Peking Opera industry!

Almost all the people who learned the Jingyun drum later created other genres based on Liu Baoquan's singing foundation, and then added their own singing characteristics and understanding!

Yang Shigang, as Liu Baoquan's apprentice, has been working hard all his life to make the Jingyun drum regain the glory of the year.

However, due to its own limited conditions, it has not achieved much.

However, he is the righteous son of Han Derong, one of Liu Baoquan's five pro-disciples, and he has obtained Han Derong's true biography, but his family has preserved a lot of texts and recordings left by Liu Baoquan back then, which is very precious!

However, among his disciples, none of them are still engaged in the Jingyun drum industry, which is also the most heartbreaking place for him!

While waiting for the game, Lin Mu listened to the whining words of these bigwigs in the music industry, and from time to time he could hear some little-known stories.

Not long after, Yang Shigang also lost all his chips, stood up, walked to the drum set, and came to a well-known Beijing rhyme drum "Ugly End and Yin Chu"!

Although his singing skills cannot be compared with his ancestor Liu Baoquan, after decades of hard work, his slightly hoarse voice, the feeling of singing is really delicious.

Although these old men and old ladies don't know how many times they have heard him sing "The Ugly End and the Beginning", every time they listen to it, they feel that it is still so good!

Familiar with books, can't get tired of listening to music!

Listen to the book review, listen to the new books that you have not heard of at all, so that you will find the plot and buttons in it interesting.

Listening to the play, it is natural to listen to those plays that you know, if you can sing a few words with the actors on the stage, it is the most enjoyable!

And the quyi program, just like this song "The End of the Ugly End of Yin", has been sung since the Republic of China, and now, no matter how many times you listen to it, it is still so good!

"The first day of the ugly end turned to Fuso-"
