Yulin, a three-string artist in northern Shaanxi, was praised by 4 million a year. Who is he?

The top two shrouds are from Yulin, northern Shaanxi.

The top two "Wei artists" in Yulin, northern Shaanxi Province, dressed in sheep's belly towels and sheepskin vests, sat in the cave, holding three strings in their hands and singing a line-fitting play. The rough voice and delicate expression touched the netizens at the other end of the screen.

In just one year, the total number of videos released by Qiangqiang was nearly 4 million. Zhang, a native of Gansu, specializes in collecting northwest folk songs. He played traditional folk songs with guitar or electro-acoustic instruments and uploaded them to the short video platform, which was used by tens of thousands of users for secondary creation.

On major live broadcast platforms and music websites, more and more people are keen on singing hometown folk songs, such as Erqiang and Zhang Ganyu. Traditional folk songs, once far away from the public's sight, have become "hot" through new media and are full of vitality.

Becoming a monk/monk in his later years

The top two are famous storytellers in Artu, northern Shaanxi. However, he didn't start art in primary school, but became a monk halfway. In 20 10, the 25-year-old Erqiang left his hometown to do business in Shanxi. After several years of wandering, he has his own brewery and his life is getting better and better.

20 15 by chance, he saw a sanxian in a musical instrument shop. Erqiang said that Sanxian was rare in other places except his hometown, so it was really unexpected to meet him here.

So, he bought this three-stringed piano, although it was a little broken. Holding the three strings in hand, childhood memories also flooded my mind like a flood. I bought a piano at noon, and in the evening he played a complete tune.

Perhaps the yearning for his hometown is secretly causing trouble, or perhaps Sanxian aroused his childhood enthusiasm. The top two seem to be fascinated and step into the road of storytelling. However, despite the enthusiasm of the top two, he is still a layman in telling stories. So he decided to learn from the teacher.
