Why are you singing?

Mr. He Ming is a man with a story. It's just that he hid the drums and threads intentionally or unintentionally, and it's rare to see his "glory". I really don't know why he sang, if it weren't for eating and chatting with some friends in the cultural circles that day and learning something.

Teacher He Ming used to be the backbone of literature and art in the school, and he likes playing guitar and singing. 1987 After the college entrance examination, he was recommended by Xu Xuexian, a music teacher, and specially recruited to the army art troupe to learn drums under the expert teacher. Gifted, studious, he won the teacher's love-when he left the army, the teacher gave him a pair of imported drums and sticks to show his encouragement and commemoration. Mr. He Ming was reluctant to use that drum, so he went to Gaoshuijing to get a bicycle and bought a pair according to its style. When he was wandering around Xinhua Bookstore with the drum stick of his new car, he was seen by Mr. Chen Yihao (manager and violinist), and his eyes lit up: Can you play drums? Let's go to the Black Swan (ballroom). I can't help but take him and leave at once. Xiao Lan, the manager of the Black Swan (ballroom) band, and others were ecstatic when they heard his "bang, bang, bang, cha" sound-they lacked a drummer! He went to the band while waiting for placement.

At that time, the cultural and sports activities and cultural life of government agencies, enterprises and institutions were very rich, including exchanges, parties, competitions and so on. Personally, I feel more "cultural" than today. When the municipal electric power company set up a staff band, Mr. He Ming jumped to the company and successfully entered the company band as a drummer.

The soul of the band lies in the drummer. Mr. He Ming's joining certainly made the company band overjoyed. But at that time, the company stipulated that new employees must go to grass-roots units to exercise. Therefore, He Ming went to Tianchepo Power Plant, and he could only go back to the company to participate in rehearsals and performances every once in a while, and he had to learn to play trombone. He goes to practice playing trombone on the hillside behind the power plant every morning and evening-it's too bad. Those cattle and sheep on the mountain didn't know such "joy" and thought that the tiger had gone down the mountain. As soon as the trombone rings, cattle and sheep will run all over the hillside, never going home, or even getting lost. This aroused the nearby farmers to complain in the factory every three days: you chubby young people are not allowed to play the trumpet there. Can't the sheep be compensated for running away? Mr. He Ming was depressed for a while.

1992, Mr. He Ming's "guest band" will represent Qionglai in Chengdu's cultural performances, which happens to be the day after his wedding. It was not good for the band to inform him to attend, so they went to Dujiangyan by car early. Mr. He Ming, who got the news, took a taxi to Dujiangyan the next morning. Mr. Luo Jianlun, the captain of the band, unexpectedly saw his appearance, such as the sudden drums, and suddenly felt relieved, hugging him tightly and saying, Great! Brother ... great-Qionglai won the first place in Chengdu.

Mr. He Ming has a natural hobby and understanding of music, while calligraphy is more influenced and cultivated the day after tomorrow. Since kindergarten, his father has asked him to write five calligraphy articles every day. Mr. Wang Zhonghuai, who lives in Hejia Courtyard, has a beautiful style of writing and likes chubby little heming very much. He should even take him with him when he participates in CPPCC activities. He Ming writes the "copybook" specially written by Mr. Wang Zhonghuai every day, and sometimes he is lazy. He only writes one big word in a job-of course, there will inevitably be the problem of "education". After junior high school, he has become a minor celebrity in No.1 Middle School, and the school calligraphy competition is the first prize. At that time, Mr. He Ming's study in Lin Qiong Painting and Calligraphy Institute also helped him a lot. Before being assigned to the army, he went to the regimental headquarters to handle affairs. Several teachers were worried that no one could write the notice, so he volunteered and left a deep impression on the deputy head and the director of the training center. Later, he was directly named and left in the training center. It happens that his residence is near Baiyuan (Bai Juyi's Tomb) not far from Longmen Grottoes. Every Sunday, there is an old gentleman named Yue who teaches calligraphy there. Mr. He Ming attends classes every week and gradually understands the difference between writing and calligraphy.

It was not until 2003 that Mr. He Ming took Mr. Liu Xinde as his teacher that he really began to learn calligraphy systematically, and his level was greatly improved-those things in the past were not called calligraphy, but just writing, he said. A few years later, due to health reasons, Mr. He Ming lived in a beautiful place in the western suburbs-building a house. Every day, he just reads, writes and listens to music to recuperate. Sometimes I will sit around the fire with three or two visiting friends, talk about writing, drink tea, forget the impetuousness and physical and mental troubles in my chest, and my body will gradually recover in a calm and fulfilling life. Later, he studied calligraphy more diligently in his spare time, and calligraphy gradually integrated into his life, and he had his own life and aesthetic pleasure.

If you are a kindred spirit, as soon as the music comes out, you can hear whether the strength of Tian Chan is full, round and full or anxious and dry; When pen and ink move, you will know the toughness or weakness of lines, the rise and fall of ink color and the rhythm of text layout. The two are the same. It is in the fusion of rhythm and lines that Mr. He Ming formed a unique calligraphy personality with fresh and elegant rhythm and restrained rhythm.

Besides music and calligraphy, I'm afraid Mr. He Ming likes collecting best. Influenced by Mr. Wang Zhonghuai's Chinese studies since childhood, coupled with his impression of antique shops near his residence when he was a soldier, he has always had a soft spot for "old objects" with a sense of history. Wherever he goes, museums and antique markets are all places he must go, but as long as he doesn't make funerary objects, he never shops in the "first line". Of course, it is inevitable to "make a hole" at the beginning of starting a business, and then slowly gain something from theory to practice. The most admirable thing is that he also devoted himself to studying the shape, ingredients, colors, firing techniques and crafts of Qiong Yao, and visited famous teachers, hoping to launch a new Qiong Yao series one day, which has surpassed the traditional collection "Horizon".

? Mr. He Ming walks between steady and smooth lines and exciting and bright drums, pursuing a harmonious beauty, just like his low-key and luxurious life movement.
