  【Explanation】 There are 102 violin companies in Qishan County, Henan Province, with an annual output of about 400,000 violins of various types, with an annual output value of about 600 million yuan (RMB). Among them, in the high-end violin, it occupies 80% of the shares, and the products are exported to Europe, America and other countries. Indeed, the peasant farmers are using their industrious hands to complete the gorgeous transition from peasant to luthier.

  【Explanation】Recently, in the piano making workshop of Qishan Violin Industrial Park, no matter the young people who have just joined the job or the masters who have been making pianos for many years, they are striving for excellence in every process. Zhou Jinlin, who was in his early 20s, didn't have any impetuousness when making the piano shortly after entering the factory.

  [Same period] (Zhoushan County piano master Zhou Jinlin) Because of slow work and hard work, if the time is too fast, you work out, this piano is rough, and there is no good experience in the hands of customers, so we are all, To express to the customer with the most exquisite aspect, the feeling should be the best.

  [Commentary] The hard work paid off in return. Li Jizhu, a 40-year-old piano maker from a poor household this year, said that after coming to work in the piano factory, her salary was not only ranked first in the local echelon, but she also took better care of her family.

  [Same period] (Li Jizhu, a master piano maker in Qishan County) The wages in other factories are more than 1,000 or 2,000. Since entering our piano factory, the wages have risen to 5,000 or 6,000, and our living standards have improved. Like our age, we are old and young, and we are far away. It may be inconvenient to come back when there are some changes in the family, so we can still get high wages at home, take care of children, and take care of the elderly. I felt that entering the violin factory was the least regretful thing in my life.

  [Explanation] Due to the pure sound and stable quality, the mountain violin has a well-known brand at home and abroad, and its products are exported to Italy, the United States, Australia and other countries. The foreign musical instruments, settled in inland counties, benefited from a group of Qinshan piano masters who returned to their hometowns from the north.

  [Same period] (Chen Mingzhong, director of a qinshan piano factory in Qiashan County) We are indeed a native of Beijing, and we have nearly 100 violin factories moving back to the area around Zhugou in Qiashan (county). Thousands of jobs have been provided around. I am very proud of this.

  [Commentary] At present, there are 102 violin companies founded by people from the mountain, whose products cover more than 30 series and more than 400 models of violin, viola, cello, bass bass and accessories. Yuan, and promoted the employment of more than 2,600 people around, many of them poor households.

  [Explanation] In Queshan, in fact most of the piano generation can only make pianos, but not perform. Now they are also training the second and third generations of Qin to learn to play.

  [Same period] (Xiong Chenghao, a violin student in Qishan County) My dad didn’t do this. He wanted me to learn a violin, and later he could tune a violin for the family. Later, he decided to take a professional course.

  [Same period] (Li Jizhu, a master piano maker in Qishan County) (Hope) My child, holding the violin I made, can show it on the world stage.
