Fu's Jinghu: Every unique boutique comes from countless manual polishing

Fu Rongshan, 76, has been a Jinghu since he was 14 or 15 years old. "In the beginning, I liked it, I was curious, and I didn't learn it systematically. I was nurtured by the old people." Fu Rongshan said. Later, forced to make a living, Fu Rongshan worked in other jobs, but the love between Jinghu and Hu always lingered in his mind.

In 1980, 34-year-old Fu Rongshan took up Jinghu again and began to formally study Jinghu production techniques. In the words of his family, Fu Rongshan is an out-and-out "qin idiot". Every morning at 5:00, Fu Rongshan would sit in front of the tool table on time, and he would sit all day long. He once stayed in the deep mountains of Fujian for half a month, just to find a few pieces of bamboo he liked;

In 2018, at the first China Jinghu Boutique Production Tasting Conference, Fu Rongshan was rated as one of the top ten "excellent luthiers" in the country; his Jinghu was selected as one of the "Top Ten Jinghu Fine Qins" in the country, and was awarded the title of "The First China Jinghu Famous". Qin Collection Exhibition” was invited to the exhibition, and was also collected by Weihai Peking Opera Museum.

In October 2020, Fu's Jinghu craftsmanship became a provincial intangible cultural heritage. As the main inheritor, Fu Rongshan has participated in the first China Cultural Tourism Expo, the 8th Shandong International Musical Instrument Exhibition in 2021, and the second China International Cultural Tourism Expo.
