Yunnan been twice, shame enough, the world-famous Lijiang ancient music I have never heard of. One after another to read a lot of travels, as if each person will be attracted to the Lijiang away. So deeply, Mr. Xuan Ke extraordinary, to bring a lost culture of the brink of renewed attention of the world, and then preserved. As a result, again makes me think of a comparable with the ancient Lijiang Ancient Music Music - Nanzhao ancient music.
Contact is a very ancient music Nanzhao chance. Four years ago, with a few friends to go big, Yunnan, Dali, when passing the Torch Festival in order to catch up, so in the ancient city where more than Zhuliang Tian. The occasion of a very busy night, bored with friends on a stroll in the洋人街suddenly from a burst of people coming home, Din Din pound, the music attracted our attention. Our probe into the curious, enthusiastic host family has been greeting. The owner's daughter brought us to her home, in the courtyard and sat down. I saw the lobby sat a group of fifty or sixty year-old gentleman, each holding a different instrument (in the Erhu. Jinghu, etc., there are many I do not call on the name of the ancient musical instrument) is playing, sitting next to a few individuals are busy recording and notation, a further inquiries before we know a professor at Beijing's Academy of Music, as heard that Dali is also circulating since the Nanzhao ancient music, so to find here, hope to preserve this ancient art The best efforts. Among the old people playing music, the owner's daughter told us that Nanzhao ancient music of Lijiang ancient music than even very old, the same is that in Dali Ancient Music will perform Nanzhao fewer and fewer people, but most of them the same age as her father. Further inquiries and learned that playing in the hall in the oldest old have 70, and these people are usually always gather together to play fun, but with the passing away of the elderly, people less and less. At that time, Lijiang ancient music, or has just been recognized by the world. At that time, I think, as long as the Nanzhao ancient music of Lijiang ancient music, like being the world's attention as if it is able to be preserved.
However, after more than four years, in the Lijiang ancient music more and more accepted by people in the world. The emphasis on time, but had none of that happened Nanzhao ancient music. Since by chance that night, I never heard of in other media Nanzhao ancient music, I think many people who do not know that went to Dali will Nanzhao ancient music. May be exposed to Nanzhao ancient music earlier than the Lijiang ancient music, so every time I saw a variety of media on the Lijiang ancient music of the introduction, the heart is always a trace of regret. Sometimes can not help but wonder, when playing in that room how many old people are now still alive, when I heard the music and how much has been handed down, there is a master of the room is still in To preserve an ancient art of this effort forward.
