Ma Touqin's saddest and bleakest music.

Ma Touqin's saddest and bleakest work is The Horse in the Blast.

Listening to Ma Touqin's affectionate conversation with the violin, Ma Touqin is rough and full of earthy flavor, and the violin is soft and natural, like the call of the earth, like a high wind on the plateau, like a running horse, like a vast mood hovering between boundless heaven and earth. I can hear that the piano is full of love for mother earth and grassland and sincerity for life.

The whole song is a dialogue between violin and Xiao. Listen carefully, it seems that everyone can hear a complete story, but the same tune, different people and different moods may tell different stories.

Ma Touqin related introduction:

Ma Touqin is a two-string stringed instrument with a trapezoidal body and a carved horse-head handle, which is a favorite instrument of Mongolian people. Ma Touqin is a Mongolian folk stringed instrument. Mongolian is called "Chaoer". The piano is made of wood, about one meter long and has two strings. * * * The speaker is trapezoidal, with mellow sound and low volume.

According to legend, in order to commemorate the pony, a shepherd made a two-stringed piano with his leg bone as a column, skull as a barrel and tail hair as a bowstring, and carved a horse's head on the top of the handle according to the pony's appearance, hence the name. Guo Xiaochuan's poem "The King of Open-hearth Steelmaking" says: "People in pastoral areas smell steel flowers, and yurts pull up Ma Touqin."
