"The little big drum is round and round, and it comes out in the fields of Huang Xiao. I carry it on my back during the day and use it as a pillow at night." On the afternoon of July 16, Jiangjun Road, Dongxihu District, Wuhan In the activity room of the Liujiadun Community Neighborhood Committee on the street, dozens of children, under the guidance of Hubei Dagu inheritor Luo Aiguo, sang the Hubei Dagu "Small Dagu Yuanliu" crisply, becoming a folk inheritance of this national intangible cultural heritage. "seed".
Yu Jiayi, who is in the third grade of Vision Primary School, was the first "lark" to raise her hand to apply to sing on stage. She told the Jimu News reporter that her father liked Hubei drums very much. “Once he played it to me at home, and I quite liked it. This time he signed me up to participate in the event. I also wanted to show off myself, so I played I signed up to perform on stage." Yu Jiayi, who loves singing, said frankly that Hubei Dagu is difficult to sing. "Some of its tones are very complicated, which is more difficult than singing. But after I just performed, I feel that I performed well."
Seeing more and more children like Yu Jiayi who have the courage to try and actively embrace intangible cultural heritage, Luo Aiguo, who is walking on the road of inheriting Hubei drums, becomes more and more motivated. As the "King of Hubei Drums" and a "closed disciple" of the famous Hubei drum performing artist Zhang Mingzhi, Luo Aiguo has been busy this summer bringing Hubei drums to primary school students.
Luo Aiguo said in an interview with a reporter from Jimu News that when he became a disciple of Zhang Mingzhi, his master told him that since he became a disciple, he must shoulder responsibilities. More people know about Hubei Dagu and fall in love with Hubei Dagu. I keep these words of Teacher Zhang in my heart.”
Luo Aiguo believes that the intangible cultural heritage class should not only teach the children the singing and lyrics. I also need to introduce the history of Hubei Dagu. "To be honest, their generation is a little far away from Hubei Dagu. I want to pass on and share with them what I know."
