The dongxiao is the earliest and simplest musical instrument in our country, with a pure sound and an ethereal appearance. It has a history of thousands of years.

The beautiful picture of common prosperity cannot be without cultural commonality and spiritual wealth. On the afternoon of May 29th, under the guidance of the Development Committee of the Chinese Traditional Culture Promotion Association and the Zhejiang Musicians Association, hosted by the China Dongxiao Education and Practice Base, co-organized by 24 professional Dongxiao institutions across the country, and hosted by Yangzhou Huaizuo Xiao Club "Xiao and the World" Chinese Dongxiao Art Online Concert ended successfully.

The theme of this online concert is "Fighting the Epidemic, Welcome to the 20th National Congress", further inheriting the intangible cultural heritage culture and helping the spirit of prosperity. After more than half a year of careful preparation, a total of 21 works participated in the exhibition. On the basis of inheriting the first event last year, some new special repertoires have been added, including classic works by famous Dongxiao masters and original works specially recorded for this concert.

At the beginning of this year, the situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic was severe. Many cities in China have experienced closure and control management. The sudden situation disrupted the arrangements and assumptions of the teachers of Dongxiao. The program was changed to a solo piece; two teachers, Jiang Weiqiang and Wang Hongtao from Jinan, Shandong, overcame all kinds of difficulties and recorded high-quality programs "Slow Voice" and "Qingyu Case Yuan" under the difficult circumstances of the local epidemic outbreak and urban control. Evening"; two teachers, He Xiaoshuai from Zhengzhou and Liang Yue from Inner Mongolia, also composed two original new songs, "Anti-epidemic" and "Walker", specially for this concert.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the track "I Love You, China" is from Shanghai Luming Qinxiao Club. Under the severe situation of Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control, the Xiao Club called on its members to record at home and complete the song production through post-synthesis. It expresses the determination of the whole city to work together, walk towards the light, and protect Shanghai. Several members and three consultant teachers, Chen Yue, Tan Baoshuo and Luo Shoucheng, also recorded wonderful programs and provided strong support for the concert. The concert organizer, Yangzhou Huai Zuo Xiao Club, undertook a lot of basic work such as posters, promotional video production, filming at the beginning and end of the film, and program editing, which ensured the complete success of the performance.

More than 2 hours of high-quality performances, covering Dongxiao solo, unison, ensemble, flute and orchestra, fully demonstrated the richness of the Dongxiao artistic performance, making audiences all over the country hooked.

It is reported that the art of dongxiao, as an excellent traditional Chinese art category, has a profound cultural heritage, but it has not been well protected and developed for a long time. In recent years, with the country's emphasis on excellent traditional culture and the efforts of generations, Dongxiao has gradually attracted attention due to its clean and elegant characteristics. It is based on this background that the China Dongxiao Education Practice Base, located in the Party and Mass Service Center of Shangtang Street, was established.

Director of China Dongxiao Education and Practice Base, President of Hangzhou Qiantang Xiao Society, representative inheritor of the "Jiangnan Dongxiao Art" intangible cultural heritage, and teacher Shen Yingbiao, a sage from Xinxiang, Shangtang Street, said, "I hope that through the form of holding online concerts, everyone can pass the Dongxiao art. Understand the external performance characteristics and internal humanistic connotation of traditional culture, enhance and enrich the content of Qiantang Xiaoshe's public welfare art brand activities, so that the theme of inheriting and promoting the "intangible cultural heritage" culture will be more recognized, and promote the continuous development of Dongxiao art and Dongxiao culture. advance."

According to reports, recently, Qiantang Xiao Club has held training courses on dongxiao at the Sub-district Party and Mass Service Center on weekends. President Shen welcomes dongxiao lovers and residents to go on a tour of dongxiao elegant music.
