A Journey to the South with an extraordinary Mission

On the morning of June 23, I, the only non-university teacher, a non-music major folk music lover, and a middle school art teacher, spoke in the third paper exchange of the Conference on inheritance and Innovation of Chinese Folk Music Culture, together with Lu Yong, teacher of normal College of Beijing Union University, he Chengyuan, teacher of Guangxi Academy of Arts, and Tang Zhenhua, teacher of Admiralty Conservatory of Music of Shenzhen University. The title of my speech is "the innovative inspiration of the gardenia blooming in the national instrumental music". Professor Fan Zukang of the China Conservatory of Music, Fu Xianzhou, a researcher of the Beijing Academy of Arts, and other guests and delegates listened to the speeches.

The thesis "the innovative inspiration of the National instrumental Music Gardenia blooming" is adapted from the essay "successful Exploration of making traditional Culture popular", which I published on the Chinese prose website. During this period, I received careful guidance from a university classmate, Professor Wang Changkui of the Conservatory of Music of Shenzhen University. He is as strict as instructing his own graduate students and revising repeatedly, so that I have learned a lot of valuable knowledge and skills in writing papers. The reason why my article was rated as an excellent paper and praised by experts and scholars and recommended to speak, Mr. Wang contributed a lot.

The speakers expounded their insights and exploration achievements on the inheritance and innovation of traditional music culture from different regions and different perspectives. Through three lectures and exhibitions of 15 famous experts and teachers in two days, we really feel the breadth, depth and splendor of Chinese folk music. What is particularly exciting is that many teachers show and demonstrate their unique skills in folk music. Whether it is singing, playing or playing, it gives people a refreshing feeling! Let the delegates and guests open their eyes and feast their ears. Even I, a semi-expert, was fascinated by it, not to mention the full harvest of the PhDs, masters and music experts who attended the meeting.

Before I left for Shenzhen, Wang Changkui, a university classmate, excitedly announced in the WeChat group: Hello, old classmates! I would like to report my surprise to you. Xie Chen and I both attended the seminar and spoke at the seminar, just as we studied together in the same classroom 40 years later. This is the information of the "Symposium on the inheritance and Innovation of Chinese traditional Folk Music Culture" held by Shenzhen University on the 22nd. Masters, professors, experts and scholars, doctoral and postgraduates in the study of national folk music gathered at Shenzhen University to gather the achievements of cutting-edge folk music research. This learning opportunity is extremely precious. I had the honor to give an academic keynote speech at the meeting, "the innovative attempt of Hakka Music Culture take the original piano song" call "as an example. Xie Chen made a special academic speech on the 23rd, "the innovative inspiration of the National instrumental Music" Gardenia blossoms "(Note: the first year of Gannan normal University is to study both music and art, and the second year is divided into majors. Wang Changkui and I have a year of classmate study experience)

In October 2016, less than two years later, my old classmate Professor Wang Changkui and I met at the "academic Forum on the inheritance and Innovation of Chinese traditional Music Culture" at Shenzhen University and spoke at the seminar. Professor Wang delivered a witty speech on the morning of the 22nd. Piano playing is full of passion and high tide!

The call is a work of a collision between Chinese and Western cultures between the tone of a simple Hakka folk song and the piano of modern western musical instruments. Piano music created by using Jiangxi Xingguo Hakka music materials. In the first insert, Adagio music is gentle, romantic and poetic, similar to the European serenade style of triplet piano accompaniment, the integration of modern music elements, the Hakka folk songs in the performance of slightly melancholy mood incisively and vividly, homesickness arises spontaneously. The second part is the second theme, which is the theme of the brand-new image of Shenzhen, trying to express the magnificent and passionate scene of life in Shenzhen, highlighting the magnificent fashion of the times and the spirit of the special economic zone accepting all rivers, just like a sincere voice. Since its birth in early 2016, this piano piece has been played all over the country for a long time, and it was recorded and played by three sets of CCTV that year.

Another unexpected surprise is that through the introduction of Wang Changkui, I met the talented Professor Wu Runhua, dean of the Conservatory of Music of Gannan normal University. In the afternoon, President Wu gave a speech on the inheritance and innovation of Gannan folk songs. I think the music and art of my alma mater can rest easy, sing all the way, and be more brilliant with such people at the helm.

The most touching thing about this trip to Shenzhen was that Wang Changkui, an old classmate, was considerate to our husband and wife in his busy schedule, invited me many times, introduced me to his friends and colleagues, and arranged to watch the concert of 2018 Oriental Symphony Orchestra Huayun Chufeng. We were embarrassed to see him busy inside and outside. He said: just let me be the host for once.

After the successful conclusion of the seminar on the inheritance and innovation of Chinese traditional music culture, my wife, my sister and I started a free trip to Shenzhen and Guangzhou. On the afternoon of the 23rd, more than ten years later, I braved the rain to visit the window of the World in Shenzhen again. The scenery bathed by the dripping rain is particularly refreshing and clean. As there are obviously fewer visitors in the rain than usual, this provides a rare condition for us to watch and take pictures. We travel between landmarks and beautiful scenery around the world to appreciate and understand the history and culture, styles and changes of various countries. Feel extremely excited and fresh.

When I came to Africa to see the scenery, I ran into a show. Their wild and unrestrained African dance, enthusiastic and unrestrained, dynamic rhythm is strong, tourists responded with warm applause and applause! The most exciting part is to enjoy the large-scale performance, the performance of folk dance of all nationalities in the world, passionate, the best part of the ups and downs, coupled with the multimedia 3C technology to create a beautiful background and situation. Professional high-end performance, let tourists cheer, shout fun!

We visited Xiaomeisha and SeaWorld on the morning of the 24th. It is past noon when I came out of Xiaomeisha Scenic spot. From 3: 00 to 5: 00 in the afternoon, I visited the Tea Creek Valley of the overseas Chinese Town in the east. Generally speaking, it is not enough to visit this scenic spot for one day. However, we met a Shandong tour guide, probably because we were kind-hearted, so old, and we really wanted to play. He drove us directly to the top of the mountain and accompanied us on a tour. He didn't charge a penny more than the basic transportation fee. It is rare to meet such a good person when you are away from home. In this scenic spot, we can really enjoy the European architecture, courts, villas, gardens, castles and so on without going abroad.

At the invitation of our old classmate Li Xiulian, we started our trip to Guangzhou on the afternoon of June 25th. The old classmates personally went to the subway station to meet us, shared their friendship with us, and telephoned other students to share their happiness. Li Xiulian discussed with us the accommodation, itinerary and itinerary of the trip. According to her recommendation, we took a sightseeing bus to visit the ancient and modern city of Guangzhou.

The 26th is the first day of a two-day trip to Guangzhou. After Li Xiulian took us to eat morning tea, taste the delicacies of Lingnan and the tea ceremony, we visited the Chen ancestral Temple, Zhongshan Hall, Baiyunshan and other scenic spots. Li Xiulian introduced and explained to us all the way, giving us a clear understanding of the heavy history and humanities of old Guangzhou.

Chen Family Temple in Guangzhou is a treasure house of folk art, which is extremely rich in art treasures. Ivory carving is superb; wood carving is simple and fine; clay figurines are exaggerated and humorous; tourists are intoxicated and fascinated!

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall magnificent, Biwa Silver Wall, the hall is resplendent and magnificent. The style is simple and modern, which is absolutely an excellent work of modern domestic architecture.

White Swan Hotel is the place where successive central leaders and international dignitaries stay, elegant and luxurious, clear fish, green grass, flowers contend for beauty, such as heaven on earth.

We went out from 08:30 in the morning until we parted shortly after 8 p.m., accompanied by Li Xiulian and served as a gourmet treat. Just like a considerate elder sister! All the arrangements are meticulous and watertight. The efficiency of sightseeing has been greatly improved. It is reported that whenever our classmates come to Guangzhou, as long as she knows, they will give them convenience and reception. Her hospitality has left a good reputation among her classmates.

In the evening, the three of us took a cruise to enjoy the night view of the Pearl River, the dreamy and charming lantern landscape makes people linger. We were not idle for a moment on the cruise ship, constantly changing positions and busy snapping the changing Vientiane scenery. Although we have seen the night view of Honggu Beach in Nanchang and Huangpu River in Shanghai, it has not reduced our interest in Guangzhou night view at all!

On the 27th, the second day of our trip to Guangzhou, we visited Ersha Island, Dashatou and other scenic spots accompanied by Li Xiulian. I saw the small waist of the landmark Guangzhou Tower. If we come into contact with the past of Guangzhou the day before, then what we witnessed on that day is the present of Guangzhou. Guangzhou gallery, Concert Hall and overseas Chinese Museum are modern, elegant and profound. The skyscraper complex is magnificent, indicating Guangzhou's international status and brilliant future!

After my sister Xie Jin posted the photos of our trip to her moments, she lived in Huangpu District, Guangzhou. Wu Weimin, her junior high school classmate and colleague, warmly invited the three of us to his home. When he met his dead friend in his hometown, the host was particularly kind, treated in a high-end restaurant and served in a fine wine restaurant for several years. When he returned to the hotel in the evening, he insisted on taking a taxi for us. We insisted that it was more comfortable to take the subway train, and he rushed to buy tickets for us. The scene and the atmosphere moved us too much!

The 28th is the third day of our trip to Guangzhou and the last day of this trip. In the afternoon, we will return to Shanghai by train. Early in the morning, we came to Li Xiulian's upscale mansion. After listening to the beautiful piano music she played, I studied art with her in college and experienced her elegant temperament and musical talent for the first time in my life. When she was in office, she was a political commissar of a women's strong caution management office in Guangzhou. she was sincere, well-connected, and was welcomed and respected by leaders and colleagues. Although she changed her profession, she often applied her aesthetic knowledge to publicity and education, environmental construction, work flow, inspection and evaluation. Because of her unique working method, she has made good achievements in the political and legal system and has been praised. Her home decoration is also featured in calligraphy and painting works of art. Then she took us to the luxurious restaurant below the residential building and once again tasted the four-piece set of delicious food with Cantonese flavor.

The last tourist attraction of the Guangzhou trip is to visit the South Vietnamese Palace Museum, which is a witness to the construction and excavation of the ancient city of Guangzhou. The vastness of the project, the science of design, and the far-reaching impact are shocking! After Li Xiulian accompanied us on the tour, we said goodbye and thanked our old classmates for their company and hospitality over the past three days. A thousand words cannot express our gratitude! Only sincerely wish her happiness and health! And invited her to arrange a trip to Shanghai as soon as possible, looking forward to seeing her old classmates again and catching up in Shanghai!

For me, this is a life journey of cross-border learning, increasing knowledge, letting the mood gather affection, enjoying the style and features of Lingnan, and renewing the friendship of classmates. Along the way, surprise, touching, warmth and sweetness continue to attack, let me deeply realize that the rivers and mountains of the motherland are too magnificent, there are true feelings everywhere in the world!
