Suona is one of the main musical instruments in Zhenyuan folk instrumental music. It has a long history and a strong and clear sound. It is indispensable for the scenes of folk funerals, birthdays, marriages, housewarmings and other folk activities. Zhenyuan suona and foreign suona are very different in the production materials. The foreign suona tube is made of wood and bamboo, while the Zhenyuan suona tube is made of cooked copper. Pleasant to listen to.

In the long-standing folk activities, Zhenyuan suona has undergone inheritance and evolution, leaving a rich and complicated suona song. In 1983, according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, the county cultural center organized staff to go deep into the countryside to visit suona artists, excavated and recorded the handed down suona songs, and collected more than 540 original songs. After careful sorting and repeated verification by the collectors, more than 230 pieces were selected and compiled into the "Zhenyuan Folk Suona Song Collection".

In folk activities, funeral songs include "Water Falling Jade", "Sacrificing Spirit", "Hanging Filial Piety", etc. These songs all contain sad sounds and are played on white events to increase the atmosphere of deep sadness. The songs used for birthday events include "Small Door", "Taiping Year", "General's Order" and so on. For marriage, folk songs such as "Monkey Girl", "Embroidered Purse" and "Zhang Sheng Plays with Yingying" are used. After liberation, some modern revolutionary songs are also played with suona in scenes such as sending off recruits or festival celebrations, such as "The East is Red", "Chairman Mao Comes to Our Farm", "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention", etc., to increase the joy and festivity. atmosphere.

During the "Cultural Revolution", all healthy and beneficial folk activities were regarded as the "four olds" and "poisonous weeds" and were eliminated, and a large number of suona artists were forced to suspend business or change careers, making this excellent cultural and artistic heritage on the verge of extinction. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the folk literature and art ushered in a bright spring, with suona artists raising their eyebrows, re-doing their old jobs, masters and apprentices, mutual help and mutual learning, and a good atmosphere for inheriting and promoting national culture and art gradually formed. The sound of the suona resounded across the land of Wonju. According to the survey, there are more than 90 musicians' performance classes in our county, with more than 500 employees. Lu Liangzhen, Jiao Kunxiu, Jiao Youcai, Qi Wenxian and other old artists have excellent skills, both virtue and art, and have a high reputation among the masses. Their joint performance of "Goose Falling on the Beach" shows the orderly flight of geese with beautiful melody and skillful skills, cooing for food after landing on the beach, sleeping in the open air, and uttering different high and low, chaotic and panicky calls after being frightened. Vishau, charming and charming. At present, some famous musicians in our county include Duan Laiyuan from Chengguan Town, Li Lianfeng from Taiping Town, Yao Laixue from Mengba Town, Yang Yarong from Sancha Town, Zhang Like and Zhu Wentao from Pingquan Town, Liu Tingfang from Kaibian Town, Liu Shiyuan, Wang Fuxi, Sun Junru from Miaoqu Township, etc.

With the development of the times, the suona, an ancient folk musical instrument and simple service method, has been carried forward, and a new type of band mainly based on suona is gradually formed. After entering the 21st century, the trumpet, trombone, saxophone and electroacoustic instruments have entered the suona team. "Sorrow", "Father", "Mother", "Sauvignon Blanc", "Children Travel a Thousand Miles" and other famous songs and film and television songs have become important tunes for brass bands. The band also invites famous actors to sing Qin Opera, Meihu, songs, etc. to add to the atmosphere of the performance. At present, it has become a common practice in the former highland villages of our county.

State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, and happiness come from everything; the sound of drums, gongs, and suonas, sounds of joy. May the suona, a popular musical instrument for the masses, radiate a new sound on the land of Wonju, where the people are sincere, play the melody of the times, and usher in a brighter and brighter future.
