In Xiaoying Village, Longchang Town, Nayong County, Bijie City, the Miao cultural heritage is extremely strong. The traditional Miao musical instruments such as reeds, harmonica, mouth strings, and dongxiao are well-known. It is strongly recommended for tourists to experience the Miao customs. However, due to insufficient publicity and other reasons, the outside world rarely understands the unique Miao suona culture, which has always been a marvel of Miao traditional culture. Here, I recommend Yang Faguang, the suona king of the Miao nationality, to the audience.

Yang Faguang was born in a suona family, and his ancestor was a famous folk suona master. Under the influence and cultivation of their predecessors, all their family members can play suona, forming a spectacle of suona culture inheritance with a hundred flowers blooming. Yang Faguang grew up in such a strong cultural atmosphere of the Miao nationality since he was a child. He was deeply influenced by the traditional musical instruments and music of the Miao nationality, and constantly showed a high artistic talent.

Under the careful cultivation of his predecessors, Yang Faguang can be described as a duck to water, and quickly mastered the essentials of playing many traditional Miao musical instruments. Due to his artistic talent and his own hard work, Yang Faguang has performed particularly well in the inheritance and development of traditional Miao musical instruments. Suona, in particular, is Yang Faguang's forte and has become an excellent representative of the Yang family.

The reputation of the Suona King is not just a vain name, but the share he has won in his many years of artistic performance. Folk weddings, funerals and marriages, often invite suona players to join the fun and give generous courtesy. In this atmosphere, the Miao suona culture inherited from the Yang family era came into use quickly, and its reputation gradually spread and was deeply loved by people. Therefore, since childhood, Yang Faguang often accompanied his parents to play suona for others, which was very important to his artistic attainments. Especially on the same occasion, you will meet folk suona players from all over the world, and everyone will learn from each other and even compare their skills. In such an environment, Yang Faguang, with his solid foundation and talent, quickly stood out, established a foothold in the Suona world, and made his own way.

Miao Suona Culture

At present, the suona players from all over the world have basically played against Yang Faguang, and they have not been able to find a real opponent. Because of this, the people praised Yang Faguang as the Suona King, and this honor soon became widely known. Therefore, as long as the Suona King is mentioned, everyone knows that it refers to Yang Faguang. At present, Yang Faguang's greatest hope is to have a discussion with Miao suona masters from all over the country, jointly inherit and develop the traditional suona culture of the Miao nationality, and carry forward the common cultural heritage of mankind. He also has a bigger hope to apply for the local Miao suona culture as a national intangible cultural heritage, strive for national policy support, and allow more people to participate in learning and inheritance.

It is understood that the Miao suona culture is rich in all parts of the country, such as Jishou, Huayuan, Fenghuang and other counties of the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hunan Province are also popular. The Miao Suona in Sichuan Province has now been successfully declared as a national intangible cultural heritage and has become a valuable resource for local development and progress. In this regard, we also express our high concern and wish that the local suona culture with profound historical background will no longer be a straggler, but a gold mine that promotes national development and progress, and will be included in the national intangible cultural heritage list as soon as possible. and art masters.
