[Explanation] In front of him, the old man named Zhao Yun, who is meticulously sorting out the vinyl records in the storage box, is 62 years old and is a collector of nostalgic old objects.
From his youth to the present, he has collected thousands of ancient objects including vintage record players, tape recorders, film films, vinyl records, etc.
A few days ago, Zhao Yun exhibited his music collections over the years. The reporter came to his exhibition venue on Radio Street, Guiyang City to visit.
[Explanation] Walking into the hall, a strong nostalgic atmosphere blows.
In this century-old old-fashioned building space, Zhao Yun carefully arranged a tea-sipping rest area, an exhibition area for old-fashioned record players, tape recorders, vinyl records and other collections.
These old objects evoke the memories of the elderly and arouse the curiosity of the young.

In fact, the predecessor of China Records was called People's Records, which was later changed to China Records.
If you look at the pricing at that time, the price was 20,000 yuan per sheet, and 20,000 yuan was actually worthless at that time.
[Explanation] The reporter saw that hundreds of vinyl records were displayed in different eras and categories.
Zhao Yun introduced that his collection of more than 1,000 vinyl records is divided into several categories: music, drama, and folk art.
Among them, the music category covers different styles of songs from ancient and modern Chinese and foreign styles, the drama category includes dramas, operas, local operas, etc., and the folk art category includes works such as cross talk and allegro.

These model plays that I talked about back then, Battle in the Plains, The Red Lantern, Shajiabang, Outwit the Mighty Mountain, and Raid on the White Tiger Regiment, all of them are 33 RPM (vinyl), 33 RPM and 78 RPM vinyl. What's the difference?
In the past (78 RPM), its texture was relatively thick, and it was called a rough-grained record. Generally speaking, a record consisted of two songs or two plays, which is one front and one back.
Then the 33-speed is a fine-grained record. The fine-grained record can hold relatively many songs. It can probably hold one side. This is an eight-inch size, which can hold three songs or four songs. A shorter song can hold The next five or so.
Then, like a rough-grained record, it will not work. The rough-grained record has one song on one side and two songs on both sides.
[Explanation] While introducing the famous classics and the characteristics of records to reporters, Zhao Yun also introduced the music playback media of different eras in his collection.

This is actually an early phonograph, so you can see that it is cranked by this hand, just like a clockwork, it starts to turn when the switch is turned on, it is 78 rpm, let's listen to this The sound quality, this sound quality is very bad, but it can still be heard.
This is called a record player. It is not hand-cranked. It is called a phonograph. You can see that it is 33 rpm here. It is written that it has 33 rpm. You can play 33 rpm here. Let’s listen to it. For example Speaking of this record...
From the early phonographs, there was no comparison at that time, so whether it was listening to songs or listening to operas, the generation at this time was very satisfied, then later, when there was a record player, it can basically replace the hand. The phonograph has been shaken, and its 33-rpm capacity is also relatively large. Of course, you also heard the sound quality just now. It can always hear the sound, but it can't distinguish its high and low, mid-range, bass, etc., so It is said that society is advancing, and music is also developing.
[Explanation] Influenced by his parents who participated in the national third-tier construction, in order to retain the memory of the times, Zhao Yun started the road of collecting old objects since 1978.
Over the years, in addition to being keen on collecting nostalgic objects, Zhao Yun has also devoted himself to promoting "nostalgic culture".
He has participated in and directed two nostalgic-themed Spring Festival Gala in Guizhou Province, and is often invited to various communities in Guiyang to voluntarily play classic red-themed movies for the public, so that the older generation can relive the red years, and the younger generation is also deeply inspired.
He said that holding the vinyl collection exhibition this time is also to revisit the classics and pay tribute to artists and their works of different ages.

Many old records must be collected by someone, or loved and preserved. In this way, some early cultural things can be passed down from generation to generation.
Through this kind of exhibition of old records, we still want to do some cultural salons here. For example, the old generation of Peking Opera artists we just mentioned, some of their early music, we can Do some music appreciation, and then find some friends who love Peking Opera, we can sit in this environment and do some cultural exchange activities together.
In any case, music represents an era and a generation of memories, and I think it is very meaningful for us to do this.
