Maoshan trumpet
On August 14, I started early in the morning and knocked on the door of Lu Aiqin, the national intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Maoshan Haozi. She participated in the 2024 National Folk Song Exhibition held in Yulin, Shaanxi Province from August 7th to 11th, and arrived home on the afternoon of the 13th. Familiar and unrestrained, and with a tired face, she pulled up the "homely style of Maoshan Trumpet......
She said that the folk songs of northern Shaanxi have a great influence on the whole country and even the world. Our southern "Maoshan Trumpet" went there to perform, whether people could accept us. The person in charge of the team led by Dai Nan repeatedly encouraged us: "One side of the water and soil nurtures the other side of the people, and a region has a regional culture, and we must sing the trumpet of our hometown with heart and affection." "On the evening of the 11th, our "Maoshan Trumpet. Spring Ploughing" was officially performed on stage. It was led by me and Zhang Weihua, the provincial intangible cultural heritage inheritor. We integrated the car water and rice planting trumpet, and the euphemistic and beautiful melody, the original local lyrics, and the endless scenery of the water town won the applause of the audience.
Before the performance, the host of "Splendid Yulin" interviewed Zhang Weihua on the spot, and he introduced the characteristics and content of Maoshan Trumpet. The host said: "Jiangsu's Maoshan trumpet is a symbol of water town culture, and it is the crystallization of the wisdom of working people like the folk songs of northern Shaanxi. ”
Lu Aiqin said, my feelings for Maoshan are like a child treating his mother, and Maoshan is my root. She was born in 1972, and when she was a child, she worked in the fields with her mother, and was deeply attracted by the melody of the Maoshan trumpet one after another by the villagers.
After graduating from junior high school, Lu Aiqin came to work at the town cultural station and became a Maoshan trumpet accompanist. In addition to the hard work of the cultural station, she has been enriching her life with singing, and she knows that if she wants to become a "god of song" like Zhu Xianglin, she must stand out of the encirclement and become the lead singer, and finally got her wish.
In 2007, he participated in CCTV's "Happy China Tour • Charming Taizhou" and performed on the same stage with the famous singer Jay Chou; In 2008, the Maoshan trumpet sung in the third "Chinese Cultural Heritage Day" won the second prize; In 2013, he won the second prize in the "Dehui Cup" Cattle Song Contest in Funing, China; In October 2015, he participated in the first Taizhou Citizen Talent Competition "Melodious Singing • Taizhou Youth Singing Competition" and won the second prize; In 2016, he participated in the Taizhou Selection Contest of the Avenue of Stars and won the title of Top 10 Contestants; In June 2018, he participated in the "Yangtian Feige - Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui Yangge Invitational Competition" and won the first prize. In December 2019, the CCTV character story column team made a special trip to Maoshan to shoot Lu Aiqin, the inheritor of Maoshan trumpet, participated in the Chinese Native Folk Song Festival held in Jiangxi in November 2023, and participated in the 3rd Rural Village Evening in Taizhou City in 2024. Her contribution to the inheritance of the Maoshan horn, a national intangible cultural heritage protection project, is widely recognized.
Lu Aiqin said frankly that with the fame of the Maoshan trumpet, more and more places invited her to participate in various performance activities, although some overwhelmed, but as the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage of the Maoshan trumpet and a member of the Xinghua CPPCC, I have the responsibility to show the beauty of my hometown with the trumpet. She thinks about how to let the Maoshan trumpet be sung from generation to generation. So, under the coordination of the Dai Nan Town Customs Working Committee, she opened a Maoshan trumpet training course in Maoshan School. On weekdays, she performs locally, and she often brings her 8-year-old granddaughter Qian Jiaxin to increase her "Maoshan Trumpet Art Cell" and cultivate "Maoshan Trumpet Inheritors in the New Era".
An old leader who has worked in Xinghua City left a message after the news report of "Xinghua Maoshan Trumpet Participates in the National Folk Song Exhibition": "The Maoshan Trumpet was sung into Zhongnanhai back then, and now it is sung from the water town of Xinghua to Qinchuan for 800 miles, which is comparable to Qin Dialect in the national folk song exhibition!" Lu Aiqin said with a smile: "The Maoshan Horn belongs to the people of the city, and I and the actors of the Maoshan Horn Art Troupe will work further to carry it forward." ”
