[Live] "Daughter Love" playing music.
[Explanation] The tiles, fruits, and vegetables in daily life can be transformed to perform wonderful music such as "Happy New Year" and "Girl's Love".
In Xi'an there is such a "capable man" named Yi Fei, who made the seemingly "insignificant" objects in his life into musical instruments to play. In his hands, these objects seem to have magical powers and can produce sweet music.
43-year-old Yi Fei was born in an ordinary family in Zhouzhi, Shaanxi. His father was an elementary school music teacher. Under the influence of his father, he became interested in music and art since he was a child. Later, he specialized in playing musical instruments and became a living career. , Rushing to major performance venues.
With the development of the times, the competition in the performing arts market is very fierce, making innovation the "outlet" of Yifei, and finally created "saw music", which made the saw play like a violin and was loved by the audience for a time.

Because I know these musical instruments, maybe everyone knows it, so there is not much competitiveness. If you watch too much, it may cause visual fatigue. At this moment, my master taught me to use a saw. It is just an ordinary saw to pull (out) music. I felt very magical at the time. After I performed it, the effect was very good and it was very marketable. Everyone liked it very much. From then on, I was born to explore this novel instrument.
[Explanation] By chance, Yifei discovered that vegetables can "make a sound".
He began to look up information and research and develop on the basis of foreign "vegetable percussion". The whole process was full of ups and downs. In the early stage of development, Yifei would go to the vegetable market every day to pick vegetables and listen to the sound.
In order to be able to make a satisfactory yam flute, he carved dozens of catties of fresh yam and tried thousands of catties of various vegetables.
The effort paid off, and finally carrot xylophone, yam flute, pumpkin drum, potato muyu, etc. were realized one by one in his hands.
In 2012, Yifei and his friends formed the "Vegetable Band". Their performance using vegetables as a musical instrument was loved by the audience.
However, Yi Fei was not satisfied with this. He transformed and innovated objects such as fishing line, oral liquid bottle, pump, ceramic tile, plastic tube, etc., to give music magic.

In fact, vegetable musical instruments are still relatively difficult. For example, the carrot in the middle and the yam. If it is just a percussion instrument, it may be very simple, but if it gives it some melody, let it How about playing a song? It is still quite difficult. Its timbre is not as clear and (loud) as traditional instruments, but it has its uniqueness and is very nice.
[Explanation] Due to the 2020 epidemic, there are fewer performance invitations. Facing the "dilemma", Yifei did not give in.
He told reporters that musicians make a living on the stage and are currently transferring offline performance to online. Using "cloud" music to let more people understand their creation is also a new "outlet."
