Dulcimer dubbing in Erhu opera Horse Racing

Huang Haihuai (1935- 1967) was born in Zhangsongyan Temple, Wuguan Lane, Pingxiang City. He lost his father when he was young and his family was poor. Huang Haihuai has been fond of drama since he was five years old, especially obsessed with music. He often goes to the theater to watch plays, listen to music and learn the huqin. When you meet a fortune teller who plays erhu in the street, you will always follow him. You often get lost by listening to music and don't know how to return. It is a famous "piano crazy girl" in the local area. 1952, Huang Haihuai, 17 years old, was admitted to Pingxiang Middle School, and concurrently served as the deputy head and teacher of Pingxiang Street Amateur Troupe. After entering high school, he practiced the piano harder, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. In order not to affect others' rest, Huang Haihuai always takes the erhu to threshing ground after finishing his homework, and often practices it until late at night. At this time, his musical expertise was fully displayed, especially the erhu performance.

From 65438 to 0955, Huang Haihuai was admitted to Zhongnan Conservatory of Music (now Wuhan Conservatory of Music) with excellent musical achievements, and studied erhu performance under Mr. Zhou Hua. After that, he systematically studied and studied the playing styles of Jiang Fengzhi and Aring Zhang, and his music theory and playing skills reached a mature level, which laid a solid foundation for his later music creation and practice. At school, Huang Haihuai was often invited to Hubei Radio Station to play erhu for the audience. There are famous songs played by celebrities and songs created by themselves, and each performance has won enthusiastic praise from the audience. 1958 Huang Haihuai was detained as a teacher because of his excellent grades.

From 65438 to 0959, Huang Haihuai composed the erhu solo "Horse Racing". Horse Racing is an erhu solo that describes people in Inner Mongolia grassland racing in festivals. It uses erhu, a simple national musical instrument, and uses a variety of playing skills to show the spectacular scenes of Ma Benteng and hoofbeat in horse racing. It sounds as if people are among the galloping horses on the grassland. With the rhythm of jumping, people are excited and fascinated by the vast and mysterious Inner Mongolia grassland. In this song, Huang Haihuai plucked the strings and played a whole tune, which made this song unique and unique, and became an immortal erhu famous song.

1962, Huang Haihuai transplanted and adapted northeast folk's River into an erhu solo, which was successful. The sad melody of this song makes people cry. Some people even think that "The River is Declining" can be compared with A Bing's "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon". In the large-scale music and dance epic Dongfanghong filmed by 1965, a tragic scene of a blind man betraying his granddaughter, coupled with the tragic melody of Erhu solo "Rivers", profoundly shows the tragic life of the people of China in the old society. This song and Horse Racing are still popular today.

On 1962 "Yangcheng Music Flower Festival", Huang Haihuai was cordially received by Chen Yi, Vice Premier of the State Council. He is always proud of it, and he devoted himself to the music career. During the period of 1964, Shanghai Culture Publishing House recorded and published a generation of famous songs "Horse Racing" and "River Water", which established Huang Haihuai's position in the music industry in China.
