Suona is a kind of expression of Chinese folk traditional culture, in my hometown in Henan, we call it "trumpet", I still remember when I was a child, whenever there was a red and white thing in the neighborhood, I would invite the suona and the troupe, when I was a child, there were no toys, the only fun was to move a small bench with my family to sit in front of them to play suona and the troupe to listen and watch. At that time, I didn't understand this, I just knew how to applaud with the adults.

Later, because of the rapid development of science and technology, mobile phones and TVs were also common, so I spent more time watching TV, and there was less and less time to watch the drama behind the adult's buttocks.

I still remember one year's market, my grandfather came home from the market and mysteriously called me aside, smiled and asked me, "Son, guess what grandpa bought for you?" ”

I guessed for a long time in ecstasy, but my grandfather couldn't resist me, so he showed me what he had hidden behind him.

"Look what it is"

"Horn! The trumpet of the singing play! ”

Grandpa smiled and asked me if I liked it, and I jumped and jumped happily, of course I liked it, I liked it very much.

For the next few days, I held the trumpet and blew it, and it was a love affair. The hard work paid off, the horn was not learned, and the cheeks were swollen. When my grandmother saw my swollen cheeks that were swollen into a pig's head, she chased after my grandfather in distress and beat me for two miles. Since then, I haven't blown the horn again.

However, this does not mean that the love for suona in my heart has been eliminated.

No, the Mid-Autumn Festival gave me an opportunity, just when I was reuniting with other families, I pulled the elders in the family and began to chatter about various details about Qinyang suona.

As a result, the elders in the family were not able to speak a few words to each other.

"Brother, how are you doing here?" The younger uncle handed a cigarette to the second uncle.

"That's it, what about you?" The second uncle took the cigarette and lit it, spit out the smoke and asked.

"Huh! Uncles, tell me about suona! ”

Interrupted by me so coldly, the uncles were stunned for a moment and turned their heads to look at me

"Yo, they're taller than me."

"yes, they've all grown into big boys!"

"Hehe, tell me about suona"

"What the hell am I going to do that?"

"That's it, your second uncle and I don't blow it, and besides, why do you ask that thing, you want to learn?" My uncle smiled and teased me

"Why, isn't it more curious about the intangible cultural heritage" I walked between them, put my hand on their shoulders, and began to ask half-hungrily.

"Tell me about it, when you were a child, didn't you both invite the opera troupe to blow it during the New Year's holiday?"

“....”

“......”

Under my shameless questioning, I finally got tired of asking them, and my second brother-in-law took out his mobile phone and pressed a phone number to dial out

"Hey, yes, it's me, do we have a field now?

No, that's a good feeling, come and blow it for us tonight, nothing else, I just want to hear you blow it."

"Wait, I'll blow it in the evening, and you can ask him then."

"Okay!"

When I was a child, I heard all kinds of descriptions of suona, and it is said that Qi Jiguang, a military general of the Yin Dynasty, not only used suona in military music, but also said in his "Ji Xiao Xinshu Wu Bei Zhi": "Where the horn and flute are played, it is to play suona." ”

Wang Pan also described suona in "Chaotianzi Yong Trumpet": "Trumpet, suona, the song is small, and the cavity is big. The official ships come and go like a mess, and it all depends on you to raise your value. The army has listened to the army's sorrows, and the people have listened to the people's fears, where can they distinguish what is true and false? Seeing that it blew over this house and injured that one, it only blew the water and the goose flew away. "I have to say that Wang Pan's description is written to the tip of my heart. The physical characteristics of suona are vividly described. It has also made great contributions to the development of suona.

In the late Yin Dynasty, suona already occupied a major position in opera music, used to accompany singing and play cutscenes. It can be said that as long as it is a folk instrumental music based on opera music, suona is one of the indispensable musical instruments.

During the Qing Dynasty, suona was called "Surnai".

Until now, suona is still one of our most widely used musical instruments.

In my impatient waiting, the master finally arrived.

I heard the family say that the master is almost 60 years old this year, blowing a lifetime of suona, the best is "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", the family warmly greeted the master, prepared good wine and good food to entertain, at the dinner table they kept reminiscing, telling about each other's thoughts, I vaguely understood a rough idea, probably the master and the grandfather at home are world friends, although usually due to the total reason to meet less, but there will still be correspondence.

As soon as I heard that it was a world friend, wouldn't this thing be much easier to do, and I didn't say hello when I saw that they were on the rise, so I got up and left on the heavy dinner table, walked to the box containing suona, opened the box, carefully took out the suona, and slowly raised it to blow the "horn~" to my mouth, after a loud bang, I was shocked to the ears with a buzz. The conversation stopped at the dinner table and turned to look at me.

I have to say that the master is always strong, the first reaction to take the suona from my hand, and look at the suona with a distressed face, my grandfather does not lose the master, a brisk step rushed to me, and "snapped" and slapped me on the head. When people who were late saw this scene, they all said that I "didn't lose money by being beaten", "deserved", and "owed a little kid"

"You bunny, have you made a whistle? You just blow"

"Brother, don't talk about children, it's normal for children to not understand, let's beat it" The master "painfully" hugged the suona, like his own baby was stolen.

"Today, I will educate you well!" I don't know when my grandfather has an extra cloth shoe in his hand, and he is about to beat me up.

As soon as I saw that this posture was not crippled or would be wasted, I turned my head and ran, shouting as I ran, "Master, don't let my master fight, I'll compensate you again"

"After following me for so many years, can you afford to pay it! Woowoo"

"I'll pay you another Du Kang wine, ten cases! Ten boxes won't work."

"Eight hundred boxes won't work, my old man, I didn't take care of you~ Woo woo"

"I worship you as a teacher, can I learn to play suona? Don't let my master chase after me, he's going to pant when he chases."

"Brother, it's done!"

I watched my grandfather throw his shoes on the ground and kick them on his feet before I dared to hold on to the wall to catch my breath.

Before I could relax my senses, I was pressed by the seven aunts and eight aunts to worship a teacher, looking at the old man sitting in front of me sitting on the Taishi chair drinking tea, I asked, "Are you preparing these things in advance?"

"Pair of drops"

"Deliberately deceived me"

"So what?"

"I don't worship anymore!" Just as I was about to get up, I saw my grandfather standing in the corner, and I didn't know when there was an extra stick in his hand.

"Shenma, you say? I have bad ears for the teacher."

"My dear master, look when you have time to teach me to play suona, hehe" I squeezed my shoulders while beating my master's legs. It wasn't until Yu Guang caught a glimpse of his grandfather throwing the stick in his hand to his body that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ten cases of Du Kang, sent to me on a cloudy day. I'll teach you again."

"Didn't you say no?"

"These ten cases are apprentice wine"
