Traditional folk music shows the glory and vicissitudes of southern Guangdong for thousands of years

As an outstanding representative of Lingnan culture, Guangdong music culture has a profound and rich connotation. After hundreds of years of inheritance and development, it has its own system and unique style, which is deeply rooted in Lingnan folk. "The Ancient Sound", "The Sound of Heaven, the Ancient Sound, the melodious melody", is based on the ancient post road culture of South Guangdong for thousands of years, and the cultural integration of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay Area as the background of the era. It uses the rare and even endangered national musical instruments such as Chaoyang flute set (pipe), guqin, five-string lute, bone flute, and Chiba to show the historical vicissitudes and ancient rhyme of Guangdong local music, and carry forward the excellent traditional culture of Lingnan.

At the scene of the music MV shooting, with the sound of profound and ethereal music slowly ringing, the famous Chinese music master Fang Jinlong played "Up and Down Quiet" in the mountains and waters of Qiangang Ancient Road in Conghua, using the foot eight that had been lost for thousands of years. The sound of the music is sometimes stormy, sometimes whispering, and the priorities are mixed with the hoofs, feet, and dances in the landscape, so that the music and pictures complement each other.

As a famous Chinese music artist, instrument collector, and representative of contemporary five-string pipa, Fang Jinlong can "play" nearly 100 kinds of musical instruments. He brought traditional Chinese musical instruments with thousands of years of history, such as bone flute, foot eight, and five-string pipa, to the shooting site to play Guangdong local music.

Let young people hear "Guangdong spirit"

“To inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture, traditional art should actively embrace young people, create opportunities for young people to enter traditional art, and win more young people. " The inheritance and dissemination of traditional art requires well-known artists to play a greater role. As a popular master of national music on the Internet, Fang Jinlong has been committed to promoting traditional art for many years, and continues to find more interesting and novel ways to make the artistic charm of excellent traditional culture exceed the times and drive traditional art to "break the circle".

"Traditional charm needs contemporary expression, and only through innovation in inheritance can we break through the shackles of ideas, produce high-quality programs popular with the masses, and make traditional culture widely recognized by the audience." Inheritance without old-fashioned, innovation and respect for tradition are the principles of Fang Jinlong. He said that the songs of this music MV take Guangdong traditional music as the cornerstone, and refine and reorganize the music elements with regional characteristics, Let traditional music materials and modern aesthetics be organically integrated, and present the spirit and connotation of Guangdong culture through music MV.

Famous artists interpret and disseminate ancient post road culture

It is understood that in addition to Master Fang Jinlong, the production of the music MV of "The Sound of Ancient Music", "The Sound of Ancient Music, the Melody of Music", also invited the famous traditional musician Wang Peiyu, the Lingnan Guqin art master Qu Junhong, the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Chaoyang flute set music Zheng Xiangming and other famous Chinese musicians to perform. In terms of music MV repertoire selection, The Ancient Sound is also quite ingenious. For example, selecting Lingnan Guqin art to play "High Mountain" and "Running Water" shows the poetic and dreamlike deep artistic conception between the mountains and waters on the ancient post road in South Guangdong; Play "Love in Clothes" in the form of Chaoyang Flute Set Ensemble to reproduce Han Yu's ancient relationship with the Great Britain Monk; Invite the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage to recompile the Chaozhou zither song "Pink Red Lotus" to pay tribute to the patriotic overseas Chinese and heroes of the Anti-Japanese War who have made great contributions to the motherland... Different regional styles, rich expressiveness and appeal, the music MV shows the feelings, solemn and vitality of the ancient post road in South Guangdong.
