Moon Reflected on Second Spring
Moon Reflected on Second Spring
is one of the best known Chinese music inside and outside China.
Unlike its romantic name, this piece of music is full of heart-breaking
sorrowness
. The musician,
Hua
Yanjun
(or Blind Ah-Bing), like all the other great artists along human history, had a very complicated life.
He
suffered from WWII, poverty, disease and repression from corrupted authorities in the old China (before 1949). As an itinerant (
流动的
) street performer, he was known to be able to play more than 600
erhu
and
pipa
pieces, among which some were his compositions.
When the New China established in 1949, academic visitors from Shanghai found him in order to preserve Chinese folk music, and successfully recorded 6 pieces performed by him. Although he happily agreed to record more later, he died a few month after the first record, taking along his talented music (only 6 out of 600+ were recorded.) It’s a great loss of Chinese music treasure.
When people finished recording this music, they asked Ah-Bing for a name. Ah-Bing said he did not have one. Then, people asked him where he used to play it; he said that sometimes at getto, sometimes by the Hui Spring. One proposed to name it “second spring”, another thought “second spring” was too simple to name a music. Since there is a famous scenic place in the West Lake of Hangzhou called “Three pools reflecting the moon”, similarly, people decided to name this music as “Moon Reflected on Second Spring”. And Ah-Bing liked this name.
