Ah Bing is a blind folk artist from the bottom of the social stratum, the whole day with the piano accompanied by singing for a living. Ah Bing's life was rough, bitter and difficult, but the reality of suffering did not destroy Ah Bing, on the contrary, he incorporated it into the art of music, and blended it to create musical works such as "Reflecting the Moon in the Two Fountains" that made the world's attention. Ah Bing's musical achievements, far beyond the fence of family succession of masters, the broad collection of skills, a wide range of skills, the feelings of the pain of life, all reflected through the music. His musical works, permeated with the essence of traditional music, revealing a healthy and deep breath from the bottom of the people, sincere and heartfelt, full of strong artistic infectivity.

The dance drama "Ah Bing" is a folk dance drama based on the life story of a magical folk music artist, which expresses the bumpy destiny of the outstanding Chinese folk musician Ah Bing and his life emotions. The work is based on a specific situation and scenery, through the portrayal of four characters, namely, Ah Bing's father, Ah Bing's mother, Ah Bing, and Qin Mei, and the main line of the conflicts arising from the closest relatives and the most loving ones, it depicts their bitter destiny of sadness and joy, love and hate, and recounts the tragedy of the love between two generations of Ah Bing's father and son, so as to reveal the goodness and evil of the human nature and the beauty and ugliness of the human nature, and to imply the inevitability of deeper and greater social tragedy at a higher level. The dance drama gives the audience a strong spiritual shock with its exquisite dance language, beautiful music and touching plot. This compassionate work is the folk musician Bing's fate of the real portrayal of the bumpy, but also his sense of life and the true spirit of human feelings, which shines with the bright light of human nature, irradiated Aristotle's "tragedy is the destruction of the most beautiful things to the people to see" of the shadow of the theory of tragedy, and at the same time also reflects the light of humanistic concern.

"Ah Bing" consists of a prologue "Life", an act "Knowledge", an act "Love", an act "Burial" and an act "Burial". "Act IV "Death" and the epilogue "Fountain". Main Plot: On an agonizing night, the mother in labor pains suffers physically and mentally, the father, who is the master of the Taoist temple, is anxious, and Bing is born where he should not have been born. For the sake of reputation and status, the father has no choice but to reject the mother. The mother left in disappointment and fainted to death beside the pillar. More than twenty years later, in a tea house in the south of the Yangtze River, a group of villains from the countryside roll in like the wind. When the girl is humiliated, Bing plays the erhu to save the day and amazes the audience with his skill. He falls in love with Qum Sister in the process of getting to know each other. When his mother, who had been begging for money, came to them, they helped him with their money. His father, who has been treating him as a master, orders Bing to return to the Taoist temple. A few days later, facing the invisible bondage, Ah Bing is in a trance. The father chastises Bing, wanting to hate and love him. He is determined not to let history repeat itself. Memories are evoked in love, pity and helplessness. Gum Sister and Bing meet, feel pity for each other and fall in love. The father prevents them from doing so. Ah Bing pulls the bow and strings, and the sound of the zither is like weeping, pouring out the pain and expectation in his heart. Mother comes trembling. Father, mother, Bing, qin sister intertwined with love, hate, resentment and indignation of the heart. A few days later at the Taihu Lake, the mother is crazy, witnessing the countryside and the countryside scene, and thinking of the countryside. Qummei and her mother meet, feel sorry for each other, and cherish each other. When the mother collapses, Gum Sister cries out, and Bing follows the sound. The mother takes the bracelet as her proof and recognizes her son and then abandons the world. The two of them are grief-stricken, eternally united, **** suffering to survive. The next day, Ah Bing knows his birth, agonizing. The father recognized his son, blamed himself and begged Bing for understanding, forcing him to return to the Taoist sect and succeed the Goddess of Mercy. In despair, Qin Mei touches the pillar and dies. Ah Bing pain ...... heavy snow, Ah Bing pulled the erhu, with the euphemistic sound of the zither pouring out the sorrows, suffering, yearning and longing of the multitude of beings.

In folklore, the story of the blind musician Bing has long been widely circulated, and art works based on him are not Men Wenyuan's first. In recent years, different art forms, such as tin opera and ballet, have interpreted it from different angles, presenting a colorful image of Bing in the art world. However, the artistic image portrayed in the dance drama "Ah Bing" is greatly unexpected, and its entry point and angle of selection have their own unusual features. First, according to the revelation that Ah Bing was not born blind, the image of Ah Bing in the dance drama is not blind. Secondly, as we all know, "qin" is Bing's "life", but there is no bow and two strings on the stage, which the audience regarded as Bing's "soul", and the dance drama does not feature the customary "two strings". There is no image of Ah Bing's hand on the erhu in the dance drama, which the audience is used to. However, the audience can clearly feel that the erhu is an important part of Bing's life. Thirdly, Men Wenyuan found the basis of Bing's life as an illegitimate child, and the dance drama skillfully cuts people from the "illegitimate child", interpreting the story of Bing as a person who should not have been born, and writing a heavy stroke for the whole tragedy. In addition, the dance drama tells the story of the familiar blind musician Bing, it does not tell the audience the story of Bing's rough life, not talking about how Bing studied music hard, and then how to be blind, reduced to street performers, etc., not to mention Bing's blindness and the creation of the process of the "Two Fountains, Reflecting the Moon," but to find a new way to a concise structure to condense the great musician's life of sadness, indignation, love and hate; to elaborate a specific environment and a specific environment, and to create a new way of life. Instead, it takes a different approach, condensing the great musician's life of sorrow, indignation, love and hatred into a concise structure; deliberately shaping distinctive characters with carefully designed specific environments and typical events; and displaying the inner world of the characters with great conflicts, so as to achieve the effect of shocking people's hearts and bringing tears to their eyes. The dance drama focuses on Bing's "life" and "knowledge", and seeks to interweave the emotions of love, hatred, resentment and indignation, turning pain and expectation, helplessness and love, aspiration and struggle, sighing and pity into a kind of feeling of indignation, and composing it into a music that is like singing and crying. The work of Bing's parents and Bing's own love into the audience's aesthetic object, will be "two springs reflecting the moon," the melody of the sobbing and the softness of the women of the south of the Yangtze River, the music image and the environmental atmosphere is coordinated to form a more heart-wrenching affinity, so that the audience produces a **** song to satisfy the dancers and the audience's **** the same psychological needs.

The dance drama "Ah Bing" focuses on the poignancy of the love tragedy, blending ethnicity and drama into one. The whole drama has a concise structure, clear lines, dance and drama, and the love is sent to the dance, and the dance melts the love. The creator's grasp of the plot and emotional line can be said to be well thought out and original. Such as the beginning of the dance drama, cleverly unfolded from Bing's life, fully utilizing the space of the different structures, the essence of the anatomy of the contradiction. In the breathtaking sound of the wooden fish, the audience is presented with the scene of the Taoist temple where Ah Bing is about to be born: the mother's hoarse voice before the delivery, the father's fear and helplessness, and its great contrast is the silent and mute movement vocabulary of the Taoist priests played by the men's group dance, and it's easy to see in their inattentive chanting that they are the defender of the pedantic stereotypes and at the same time, they are also the victims of the feudal society. The sound of the wooden fish is getting more and more intense in the highly discordant music, and Ah Bing is born at this time, heralding the coming of a great tragedy. In terms of choreography, the choreographer expresses the intricate and complicated relationship between a father and son with a special life through an extremely concise dance language, which introduces people to deep philosophical thoughts. The play uses dance vocabulary to portray Bing's creation as if it were a heavenly horse, spilling out a legendary emotional experience of this outstanding musician, striving to transform the rhythms of classical dance into the language of specific dance movements of this particular character of Bing, and breaking the programmatic approach of classical dance. Whether it is the dedication to help the Qin sister when saving her life, or the love-hate intertwined when being blamed for the beating, the audience can feel the individuality in the classical dance flavor. Moreover, the choreographer also combines and integrates the choreography technique with the stylized movements, so that the dance section not only has scientific rules and regulations, but also has a unique rhythm. For example, the two women's group dances in the third act "By the Taihu Lake" and the fourth act after the death of Qinmei, both of which closely grasp the characteristics of the action in the Jiangnan water town, create a unique dance language, and render the special feelings of the main character Bing with specific environments. Secondly, the play is also unique in the use of props, such as the "Taoist robe" of Bing's father, which is a manifestation of his identity and can be transformed into the wind of feudalism and secularism, and at the same time, it can be used to make the image of the virtual and the real to be transformed quickly and reasonably. For example, the "high chair" in the first act of "Knowing Each Other" has the characteristics of the time and place, and can enrich the stage composition and play a good role in shaping the characters. When the Qin sister was surrounded by young masters on the high chair, riding the tiger difficult to get down, the audience for the sweat, unexpectedly, the Qin sister is not willing to be humiliated, determined to jump from the high chair, on this jump, the Qin sister's blunt and stubborn, not afraid of rape of the character appears undoubtedly, to show the heroine's character traits, the artistic image of the portrayal of fullness of vividness.

The Wuxi City Song and Dance Troupe not only strives to dance drama "Bing" contains rich cultural heritage and ethnic flavor, but also the pursuit of mankind **** there is the true goodness and beauty of the emotions, that is, in the adherence to the times, ethnicity, locality, at the same time, so that the work has a permanent nature. In order to achieve this goal, from the chief choreographer, composer, choreography, lighting design, costume design, to the four main actors, a wide range of nationally renowned artists, its creative lineup concentrated in China's dance industry, the elite of the art world. Choreographers have been to Bing's hometown and the surrounding areas of Lake Taihu in-depth life, picking up materials, and invited experts to discuss the script and finalized. Through the "strong combination", finally blossomed a gorgeous flower of dance drama - "Bing". The music in the play is moving and touching, quite a master of the temperament of the young dancer Liu Zhen's performance in place, in addition to its excellent technique and genius performance, you can also witness Li Qing, Jiang Tiehong rich in distinctive personality of the wonderful performance. The choreography of Bing is simple and generous, not relying on dry ice and smoke to create the stage mood from start to finish. Designers from the plot, only two groups of Taoist temple building columns, throughout, two pieces of movable scenery can be expressed on the invisible oppression of the opposing side of Bing, a strong pressure. And many changes to move, both to create the drama required Taoist temple atmosphere, but also formed a strong sense of flow of environmental imagery, rich in the meaning of Jiangnan. This is compared with today's choreography production generally pursue luxury dazzle, the play more prominent dance core position, emphasizing the overall refinement of the artistic effect of the dance drama.
