Wei County is located at the southernmost tip of Hebei Province, bordering on Henan Province. Perhaps because of the geographical location, people there love to listen and sing Henan Henan Opera. When Xiao Zhenxi was in his teens, he once went to the county town with his parents and heard the aria of Henan Opera Chaoyanggou playing on the loudspeaker in the street. He was deeply attracted by the beautiful singing melody at that time. At that time, in his small village with only about 800 people, there were no loudspeakers on the brigade and no radios in every household. In order to get to the theatre, Xiao Zhenxi ran five or six kilometers to the county seat after dinner for three days, and stood under the loudspeaker and listened for several hours. After listening to these months, Xiao Zhenxi actually hummed down some of the main aria of Chaoyanggou. Then, Xiao Zhenxi went to Xinhua Bookstore, the county town, to buy "Selected aria of Chaoyanggou", and read the music score in time according to the learned aria. In this way, Xiao Zhenxi, who has excellent musical talent, learned the mnemonic notation without a teacher.
Xiao Zhenxi will never forget his primary school PE teacher Feng Liang. He still remembers it very clearly. On that day, Mr. Feng took a banhu bought from the county town of 14 yuan (which was also a big expense at that time) and said to him, "Son, the teacher thinks you are this material. I'll give you this banhu. Practice it well. The teacher believes that you will succeed! " It was this Banhu that made Xiao Zhenxi and Banhu form an indissoluble bond and changed his life. Many years later, when Zhai Zhenxi, a famous artist of the Second Artillery Art Troupe, returned home to visit relatives, he was shocked to learn that Mr. Feng had died of illness several years ago. He recalled the past and missed his teacher, from which he was saddened and burst into tears. Today, Mr. Zhai is still heartbroken when he talks about this past. This situation makes the listener feel awe.
The more wit, the less courage. 1967, Xiao Zhenxi, who had been practicing piano for three years, took Banhu alone to find Handan Dongfeng Troupe and wanted to find a teacher to learn piano. Teacher Yang Shanji, a banhu violinist in the troupe, likes this bold, provocative and studious child very much. He listened carefully to a few jokes told by Xiao Zhenxi, patiently and meticulously taught some methods and essentials of banhu performance, which benefited Xiao Zhenxi who just debuted.
1968, Zhai Zhenxi, who was only 14 years old, was specially recruited as a literary soldier by the Second Artillery Art Troupe, thus taking the first step in his artistic life.
From 65438 to 0970, as a political task, all literary and art groups in the army had to rehearse model operas. The Political Department of the Second Artillery Corps selected some actors from various bases and made a special trip to Beijing to learn from Mo Lian. To this end, Zhai Zhenxi was also played by Ban Hu. When I was studying in Beijing, I learned a lot of artistic skills from famous Jinghu masters such as Li Muliang. Since then, the Second Artillery Art Troupe has rehearsed several major dramas, such as Hanging the Red Lantern High, Shajiabang and Hushanxing, with Zhai Zhenxi as the accompaniment of Jinghu.
Zhai Zhenxi is a versatile outstanding talent of the Second Artillery Art Troupe.
For a long time, the methods of setting E-flat chords in Henan Opera are: inner chord G, outer chord C (pure fourth interval), and playing with the first chord (inner chord 3, outer chord 6); Commonly used tone sandhi are B flat (inner chord 6, outer chord 2); F key (inner chord 2, outer chord 5). Mr. Zhai's methods of setting chords in E-flat in Henan Opera are: inner chord F, outer chord B (pure fourth interval), and playing with the lower chord (inner chord 2, outer chord 5); Turn down the inner chord 5 and the outer chord1in B key; Tune f, tune inner chord 1, outer chord 4.
In recent years, Mr. Zhai's playing methods of E-flat key two and five strings in Banhu Opera in Henan Province have attracted more and more attention from many experts and colleagues in the industry.
In this regard, Mr. Zhai has repeatedly said that the reason for doing this is not for fame, but for profit. There is only one purpose, to thank Banhu for Henan Opera.
In September 2009, Mr Zhai was hired as a visiting professor by Banhu Art Center in Henan.

Mr. Zhai is knowledgeable and versatile, and his profound accomplishments in painting and calligraphy are amazing enough. He began to learn from Liu (public power), and later devoted himself to "two kings" (being wise and virtuous). After decades of practice, I gradually formed my own artistic style of calligraphy. His works sometimes reveal a sense of boldness and fortitude, with the charm of the north wind and strong visual impact effect, which reminds people of Hong Bei's galloping horse, with lofty artistic conception and lofty strength. From time to time, Wang Xizhi has the tendency of "the dragon leaps into the sky, the tiger lies in the phoenix", and his calligraphy is elegant, soft outside and rigid inside, with a unique style. His pen is calm and bold, with distinctive style, and strives for the integration of strength and emotion, achieving the harmonious unity of "temperament" and "inner simplicity". He participated in the brushwork of Huang Gu, a master painter in the Song Dynasty, and his brushwork became more and more agile, clear and fantastic, which made his works contain emotion, interest and reason while pursuing detachment and refinement. 1993, he participated in the "All-Army Calligraphy Competition to Commemorate the Birthday of Comrade Mao Zedong100th Anniversary" jointly organized by China Calligraphers Association, the Ministry of Culture of the General Political Department and the People's Liberation Army newspaper, and won the first prize in one fell swoop, which caused quite a stir in the Second Artillery Corps at that time.
Mr. Zhai's Chinese painting and calligraphy are excellent. For a long time, he spent a lot of time and energy studying ancient classics. In Chinese painting, he selected representative painters from past dynasties from near to far, and devoted himself to research. With Xie Ga, Shi Tao and Ren Bonian. From the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and then to Li Tang in the Song Dynasty, he participated in your masterpieces extensively. But he was not satisfied with these. He learned from modern master art and ancient Buddhist grottoes art, especially the copy of Dunhuang murals, which made his figure painting free and easy. On the basis of traditional pen and ink, he absorbed some expressions of Zhang Daqian, who was praised by Xu Beihong as "the first man in 500 years", especially his figure paintings and lotus paintings, which made people feel the image style of artists such as Zhang Daqian. Mr. Zhai also pays attention to combining romanticism in China's poems with abstract forms in ancient and modern paintings, which makes his paintings full of profound classical artistic connotation, romantic and exaggerated expression and unique flavor of the times. When he was creating, he was confident, calm and calm; Pen and ink are chic, free and easy, with strong lines and elegant colors, full of musical rhythm and pen and ink charm. In terms of conception, whether it is characters, stories, landscapes, or flowers and plants, even small scenes and sketches, they all contain great sustenance, showing the beauty of "indifferent and elegant" of literati works. High-quality figure, or poetry or playing the piano, calm and elegant, graceful and elegant, detached from the secular, the pursuit of natural harmony; The beauty picture, under the flowers in front of the bamboo, is persistent without pity, without beams and villages, with endless charm, some like the beauty under the moon, and some like the stars under the moon, which is pleasing to the eye; Elegant lotus leaves and various lotus leaves are the charm of lotus flowers in Rong Daqian's works, and the shades of pen and ink are even more varied in texture, so that viewers can see the lotus leaves swaying and falling together, reflecting the graceful elegance of lotus flowers. Through the poetic description of people or things, Mr. Zhai shows the inner essence, personality and inner world of different characters, and then reveals their personality and state of mind, reflecting social attributes and expressing truth, goodness and beauty.
Mr. Zhai's paintings and calligraphy works have been well received by many experts in the industry. Many newspapers and periodicals in China have publicized his painting and calligraphy art, and some of his works have been collected by Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Zhongnanhai, Treasure Hall of CPPCC Auditorium and many domestic cultural and artistic departments. He has published a collection of paintings and calligraphy by Zhai Zhenxi, a collection of paintings and calligraphy by Liu Hongbiao and Zhai Zhenxi, and a collection of paintings and calligraphy by Yang Xiukun and Zhai Zhenxi.
