"Fan Jing Two-Day Tour" Appreciate the beautiful scenery and listen to the sounds of nature

Say, what kind of thing is this!

It's cold and crystal clear, but it can make people's blood boil.

When people talk about this matter, they are all excited and talking endlessly.

The long-renowned Yu Pingdi has always attracted flute lovers all over the world.

Even people like me who can't play here still yearn for that mysterious place.

At the southeastern end of the Fanjing Mountains and on the border of the Miaoling Mountains, there is the ancient town of Yuping in eastern Guizhou.

Yuping is named after Yuping Mountain on the north bank of Yanghe River in the north of the county.

The mountains are covered with pine trees and bamboos.

Seen from a distance, this thin and wide peak looks like a huge screen carved from jade by skilled craftsmen, so this mountain is called Yuping Peak.

This ancient town is named Yuping Town because of its name.

Yuping, also known as the gateway to eastern Guizhou, was fortunate enough to attend a meeting in Yuping, which finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish.

When the mountains were covered with ink, the vehicle drove into Yuping County and checked into the Yuan Lin Hotel in the city. It was very peaceful and a bit quiet.

Open the window, a cool breeze blows gently, and the faint fragrance in the early spring air blows away the fatigue, making people feel very comfortable.

Yuping is known as the hometown of Chinese flutes, and the flute has become the business card and synonym of Yuping.

Being able to see that mysterious place that often haunts my dreams made me excited in bed. It wasn't until night fell that I gradually calmed down.

The next afternoon, the sky was clear and I was sitting on the bus.

Although I knew exactly where I was going, it deeply attracted and confused me, making my mood ripple.

Xiao Yudi, what magical charm do you have?

Let waves of people come here to explore your mysteries.

Now, here we are.

A friend's words suddenly awakened me from my obsession with imagination.

Yuping Flute Factory is one of the four designated manufacturers of Chinese national musical instruments.

What will it look like?

An ancient building stands in front of everyone.

If you don't look carefully at the banner in front of the door, there are some obscure words about Yuping Flute Factory on it.

Who would believe that it is the origin of the world-famous flute?

In the exhibition hall, there are many dazzling flutes.

The origin of the world-famous Yuping flute is unknown in historical records.

A native of the Qing Dynasty, he compiled the "Yuping County Chronicle" in the 22nd year of Qianlong (1757): "The Biography of the Zheng Family".

The word "different" casts a mysterious color on the origin of Yupingdi.

It can be seen that although there are various folklores about the time when Yuping began to make flutes, most scholars tend to start making flutes during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty about 400 years ago, and were created by Zheng.

According to legend, a man named Zheng in Yuping met a Taoist priest who called himself Luskin Fairy during a driving trip.

The two hit it off, had similar interests, and became close friends.

Taoist priests often wandered in the mountains, whispering to each other and expressing their dissatisfaction with the current dynasty.

One day, he picked a bamboo from the mountain and made it into a flute to play.

He only heard the melodious sound of the flute, melodious, tear-jerking, and very beautiful.

The melodious sound of the flute spread across the morning sky from the top of the Drum Tower to Phoenix Mountain, attracting hundreds of birds to sing.

More and more listeners gathered under the Drum Tower. They closed their eyes and listened attentively, mesmerized.

Soon, the Taoist priest wanted to travel far away, so he taught his friend Zheng the art of making flutes.

From then on, the Zheng family began manufacturing and selling flutes.

From then on, Yuping Xiao was habitually called Xiao Shen by the world.

Yuping flute is very particular from material selection to production.

It is made from a local wild rice that grows near Yinshan Creek and is rarely exposed to sunlight.

This kind of bamboo has long joints, thick flesh, and basically the same root, only about the thickness of a human thumb.

The time for cutting bamboo is very particular, usually two months after the beginning of winter.

At this time, because the bamboo contains less moisture and sugar, the flute made is less likely to crack and mold.

The production requirements are more stringent, and there are dozens of processes from bamboo cutting to production.

Finally, poems and paintings are engraved on the surface of the flute.

The body of the tube is bronze and engraved with various patterns or poems.

Among the jade flutes, the dragon and phoenix flutes are the most popular.

This is a male and female flute.

Men are slightly thicker and women are slightly thinner.

Play it, it's subtle and elegant.

When men and women play together, it is like a couple singing together. It is full of fun, so it is also called the fairy flute.

It has enjoyed a high reputation for hundreds of years and was a tribute from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Especially in 1913, it won the silver medal at the International Arts and Crafts Exhibition in London, England.

In 1915, it participated in the Panama Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco, USA, and won the gold medal at the same time as the national liquor Moutai.

It is the first Chinese musical instrument to enjoy a high reputation in the world.

Therefore, Xiao Ping Jade Emperor is world-renowned and sells well in Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States and other countries and regions.

At that time, there were more than 30 flute-producing workshops in this marginal town.

Yuping is famous as the hometown of flutes and is known as the three treasures of Guizhou along with Kweichow Moutai and Dafang lacquerware.

This was the first time I saw it up close, and I couldn't help but feel my heart ups and downs, and my thoughts flying.

It's old!

From the traces of the knife carving, you can see the depth of time, which makes me extremely respectful.

It has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes, and now it lies there quietly for the world to read and think about.

It is an ordinary piece of bamboo, beautifully carved.

It is also true that everyone holds Xiaodi, caressing it endlessly, and tilts their head to play with it.

At this time, the sound of the bamboo flute came, a little sad and quiet.

The charming sound of this leisurely flight immediately attracts people to follow it.
