Development and change

Wang Charter northeast spread Pinggu tune

Wang Charter was the first artist to bring Pinggu tune to the outside of the customs, he once said a long book in a teahouse in Xigang, Dalian. Ten golden pills "And" Double darts set ", also in the three years of the Republic of China in Shenyang to participate in the "Mukden tune" drum book research Association examination, the results ranked first among drum book artists, positioning A, singing red in the three Eastern provinces.
When Wang Charter was in Shenyang, Zhang Zuolin's concubine appreciated his Pinggu tune very much and listened to it on occasion, and encouraged Zhang Zuolin to establish a drum book school in Shenyang, with Wang Charter as the president, where drum book artists from south to north could manage to eat and drink, and arrange performance places. Therefore, the drum book art led by Wang Charter and Pinggu Tune founded by him have been greatly spread and developed in Northeast China.
As a Pingu native, Wang Charter did not return to his hometown from Kanto until he was in his fifties and began to learn. In his sixties, he went to the Northeast for a second time and sang for about twenty years before returning home at the age of eighty. It can be said that in addition to Pinggu, Pinggu tune has also taken root in the northeast. [2]

"Vinegar drum King" to transform Pinggu tune

Pinggu transferred to Wang Charter's closed female disciple Wang Peichen here developed into an "iron drum", the structure was changed from a straight 2/4 beat to a straight 4/4 beat, and every phrase was sung at a glance. In terms of melody form, it adopts the characteristics of Pinggu native "dropping tone" and "crying tone", and the phrases are in the downward form of melody, resulting in a sad and sour feeling. Therefore, the iron drum was also called "vinegar drum" by the audience, and Wang Peichen was also nicknamed "vinegar drum King". In singing, Wang Peichen also created the cut plate, Splash board , Pile plate Equal rhythm and large Skip tone , large glide Such melody decoration.
The iron drum is an innovation based on Pinggu tune singing. Before his death, Wang Charac passed on his skills to Wang Peichen, and subsequent inheritors have their own artistic innovations on the basis of inheriting the tradition. Compared with the old tune of Pinggu, the melody of the iron sheet drum after development is relatively new, adding some bends in the singing, and basically no local tone localism And absorbed a lot of opera things, such as Chinese wooden clappers performed to the accompaniment of Chinese operas And so on, but then you have to go back to the original melody. [2]

The rural evolution of Pinggu tune

Pinggu local drum and book artists have also carried out a positive "transformation" of Pinggu tune. In 1920, Pinggu drumbook artist Zhang Shicheng changed Pinggu tune to Pinggu Dagu, his drawling tone, half speaking and half singing, the drumbook circle called "small mouth Pinggu Dagu".
Pinggu Chengguan Shi Ziyu is on the basis of Pinggu old drum into the singing style of Shulaibao. He is known for his books on bunting, such as A surname "," Major eight meanings "," Minor five senses ", "Ji Gong Biography" and so on. Shi Ziyu's singing is slow and reasonable, half speaking and half singing, simple and unsophisticated, especially after the board is more board up and down, and the final sentence adds a novel drawl, beautiful and beautiful.
The small mouth Pinggu Dagu is shorter than the big mouth Pinggu Dagu, and the iron plate dagu is developed from the small mouth Pinggu Dagu. But Pinggu's homegrown Pinggu drum is closer to the traditional tune and has a stronger flavor. [2]

The city is frustrated by the local taste of Pinggu

In the past, Pinggu tune was popular in the local area, but because of its slow rhythm, there was no market in Beijing Tianqiao, and sometimes it was discriminated against. [2]
