Du Xinghe is not obsessed with rock music or has a preference, but has only studied rock music as a discipline. He is quite interested in women who sing rock music, especially in this plane where rock music is forbidden, and a daughter in Chang'an, the capital, sings rock music, which made him interested.

Speaking of which, the local rock and roll in China are closely related to the local cultural heritage.

In the previous plane, Xi'an, as the ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasty, was an important birthplace of local rock.

Walking around the city wall, the high-pitched Qin Opera is so strong that it is soaring into the sky, shocking your eardrums.

Strolling in the Bell and Drum Tower Square, in the underground passage of the south gate, the rock music played by young people holding guitars violently hit your heart.

A brick is a piece of history, and an old woman has some culture.

Before the last year, the generals and ministers of the Thirteen Dynasties made every Xi'an person have a strong sense of self-awareness, a keen observation perspective and a unique way of thinking, and all have their own ideas to express and express them in music, which led to the birth of different styles.

What is Qin Opera? In fact, it is rock in traditional folk art.

There is reason to believe that rock and Qin Opera are in line with each other.

The simple, rough and heroic tone of Qin spoke roared the infinite pride of Chang'an people in ancient times for the prosperous times of the Qin and Tang dynasties; the rock and roll self-reliant, unruly and wild singing styles revealed the deep feelings of modern Xi'an people towards the ancient capital for thousands of years.

In the previous plane, the Chinese rock music scene came out of Xi'an, three heavyweights with different styles, Zheng Jun, Xu Wei and Zhang Chu, and a large number of bands continued to work hard to inject a lot of underlying experience and continuous vitality into Chinese rock music.

When Zheng Jun made his new album "Zheng Jun", he stayed in Xi'an for a year; Xu Wei often returned to Xi'an; Zhang Chu even moved his family back to Xi'an just to "make his music bigger".

It is this thick yellow land that has brought them endless originality - that simple and powerful impulse to life.

In Xi'an, in the previous plane, some musicians who are crazy about rock and roll walked endlessly along the endless walls. The ancient walls brought them an endless sense of historical oppression, which endlessly suppressed their desire for freedom. They felt manic, despair, and extremely heavy. They accumulated this emotion until their music was completed, allowing the song to travel through the city and break through the sky.

The city walls are always calm and unsuspecting; while Xi'an's rock is intense, distinct, crazy and impetuous. Music fans who are obsessed with rock will definitely experience this strong collision between the most conservative, the most scrupulous, the most traditional and the most rebellious polar polar.

However, although Xi'an in the previous plane has many excellent bands and musical talents, there is no slightly large performance company or a slightly powerful record company, which has led to a large number of excellent local works not being developed for a long time.

The constraints of economic conditions make the Xi'an rock music in the previous plane usually only appear in the "underground" form, and the performances are organized by piano stores and bars.

The organizers of these underground activities are as vigorous as underground music. Libo piano shop, Oasis piano shop, Eight and One-half bar, Nanmen bar, 1+1 bar, Light Storm bar, Golden Winged Bird bar, etc. Hold a banner of music, gathering masters from the music industry in Xi'an, Beijing, Changsha and other places, and unknowingly formed underground rock centers.

If the Xi-An performance market is mature, bands such as "Chrysanthemum and Knife", "Soul Conjuring", "Dust Dust", "Crash", and "Behavior" will become famous in 1994. Because of the immature market, works of that era have lost the opportunity to be published, and many musicians have been buried.

Thinking back to the beginning, led by Xu Wei's "Flying" band, he called for "We will not go to Beijing, we will do the rock music of Xi'an." But sadly, in the face of cruel reality, this slogan that once excited a large number of rock youths failed to last for too long. Xu Wei finally left Xi'an sadly and went to Beijing to seek development. Zhang Chu, Zheng Jun, and Xu Wei were all famous in Beijing. If they stick to Xi'an, they would not have achieved what they are today. The sadness that penetrated into the blood in Xu Wei's first two albums is probably the real reappearance of the hardships and pains on his journey to pursue his ideals, and the pain in the growth process of this city that Zheng Jun mentioned.

In the previous plane, Xi'an did not have an environment for rockers to provide better creative and development, but Chang'an in this plane is different. As one of the most developed cities in the world, Chang'an can support any form of culture to break through the ground.

The great rock thoughts in the 1970s were blown from Chang'an. Du Shan, Lin Jianguo and others went north from Fuwan to participate in the rock event, and they all came to the imperial capital Chang'an. At that time, the soil in Chang'an was completely restless, and heavy metal notes were revealed in every grain of sand. If the Zhang family had not suppressed this trend, the rock in this plane would have swept across the land of China long ago.

It was also because of the high pressure ban of the Zhang family that the rock music in this plane became abolished and gradually went underground. However, the best rock talent and the most traditional rock music form remained in Chang'an with the tens of thousands of dead souls back then, waiting to break through the ground and sprout again one day.

Du Xinghe had a little understanding of this history, so when he came to Chang'an, he met a person who liked rock. This did not make him feel strange. But as the daughter of Longke Group, Qu Luoying also liked to play rock music, which surprised Du Xinghe.

Although Longke Group is not a top 100-level enterprise in China, it is also an important group in the increasingly fast-growing computer industry circle.

This group is developing locally in Chang'an, and it is said that it is a high-tech group with a royal background controlled by the Zhang family. Their leaders must have been mixed with the upper circle of Chang'an. Because the Dasi-Thao movement was enlightened in rock, rock was a very taboo thing in Chang'an upper circle.

As the daughter of Longke Group, Qu Luoying is also considered a lady in the upper class. She is so rebellious and likes to play rock music. How can Du Xinghe not be surprised?

Du Xinghe asked Qu Luoying curiously: "Miss Qu, are you a rock album? Do you have it in the car CD? Can you please let me know? I am quite interested in rock."

A slightly bitter helpless smile flashed across Qu Luoying's face and said, "Don't listen to Aqin's nonsense. The album I released is not a rock album, but a few songs recorded in the recording studio that I think are better. If I had to say it was rock, it could only be considered a casual slow rock. It is not the intense rock that Aqin said, or that intense rock. I would not have played it anymore and could not play it anymore."

Qu Luoying’s so-called inability to play is certainly not that she can’t sing. She is only 20 years old. She is young, but the pressure on her family is too great, so she has no capital to continue.

Lu Qin smiled and said, "Luo Ying, when did you become so humble? After a few months, why did you become so many? Are you still you?"

Qu Luoying smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I am me. But will people always become? I used to like that kind of dry music, but now I like to be a little quieter."

Du Xinghe nodded in understanding. Seeing that Qu Luoying did not mean to release her own CD, he simply did not force it. After all, the other party was from a wealthy family and had a lot of constraints. Although they usually got a lot, they actually lost more. Du Xinghe's intuition could feel that Qu Luoying still likes rock, but unfortunately, due to family pressure, she could no longer touch these things. Rebellion also has its limits. If she passes the limit, she will have no good results. Obviously, she is a smart girl. She knows what she should do and what she should not do.

Qu Luoying and Lu Qin started chatting immediately. Du Xinghe was infected by Qu Luoying's "rock dilemma", and he also emotionally recalled some memories of rock in the previous plane.

It is said that no matter how time and space change, the radical musical form of rock music cannot develop on the land of China. This is the case in the previous plane, and this plane is still the case. This may be related to some of the restrained qualities of Chinese culture that have been precipitated over thousands of years.

Before the previous year, Du Xinghe studied rock music in depth. If divided by region, there are several major rock towns on the land of China in the previous plane.

Among them, the first ones are the two cities that have nurtured countless rock bands.

If Du Xinghe was asked to choose the third largest rock center in the previous plane, Du Xinghe would hesitate because he didn't know whether to choose Lanzhou, Chengdu, or Wuhan, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Inner Mongolia?

With the development of underground rock music, rock music around the country seems to be on the verge of fire, but there is one city that impressed Du Xinghe deeply. This city may not be considered a rock center of Beijing and West An, but this city is closely related to rock.

This special rock and roll town is Shijiazhuang.

In the previous plane, someone on the Internet made a spoof, translating "RockHomeTown" (the hometown of rock) into Shi-Jia-Zhuang. Although this is a kind of interesting talk, in fact, rock and Shi-Jia-Zhuang are very closely related.

When Du Xinghe studied the development history of rock music in the previous plane, he also went to Shijiazhuang for inspection. That experience left a deep impression on him.

It was a cold winter night... (Du Xinghe began to replay memories in his mind)

Location: Shi-Jia-Zhuang Pacific Plaza Underground Bar.

Several strong men in black were fiddling with the musical instruments and wiggling their long hair in unison.

"Shake your hair!"

After the lead singer summoned at the top of his lungs, a boiling sound came from the audience.

This is a performance by Shi-Jia-Zhuang and a group performance by an underground rock band.

The team was greeted by a band called "Doll Harvester", which housed eight bands including edible corpse dissection, mechanized carbon, plasticine, RED-FIVE, wings, milk subway and "Ni'er" from Handan.

The name of the band sounds strange and mysterious to ordinary people, but it is well-known in the local circle. Fans who come here will be crowded with bars that can accommodate about 500 people.

There is no host that is usually seen, no routine opening remarks, and the band takes the stage in sequence according to the already arranged sequence and reports to their own homes. This arrangement that is not limited to the formality brings the audience closer to the band.

It doesn’t matter how the performance begins and develops with "gaochao", because these eight bands have their own characteristics, new metal, black metal, punk, gothic, and rap styles are very different, each one is unique and unique.

Unexpectedly, each band has a large number of fans. When their favorite bands come on stage, they will collectively flock to the stage, shout with the lead singer, twist their bodies to the rhythm, or many people use body collisions to vent their emotions. After the performance, they will automatically evacuate and give up the best position for the fans of the next band. The loyalty and organizational order are no less than the legendary Super Girl fan group.

Du Xinghe, who was not involved in underground rock at that time, thought that most of the fans of these underground bands were alternative young people with long hair, pierced holes, and strange clothes, but after careful observation, he found that there were many good girls wearing glasses and short hair with ears.

The performance lasted for a full 4 hours in a passionate anger. But the crazy crowd seemed to not realize the existence of time.

When he walked out of the bar, the streets were full of cold wind, but Du Xinghe's heart was filled with passion. Because he was deeply infected by the emotions of the band and the audience. His yearning for ideals, criticism of life, and yearning for love are the emotions these bands want to express.

He suddenly understood why those people continued to continue in the situation where they were regarded as decadent and alternative by outsiders.

Because they are still intoxicated by the Tang Dynasty band with long flowing hair and flowing hair chanting the memory of history with heavy metal drum beats, the ideal value that the black panther seeks in life, the loss of love written by the writing... In their hearts, ideals and love are the true meaning of rock.

Rock is the breeding ground for the ideal of freedom - that experience gave Du Xinghe a very intuitive understanding of rock music.

It was precisely because of that experience that Du Xinghe became more interested in the rock market of Shijiazhuang, which stimulated him to study the history of Shijiazhuang rock like he did in Beijing and Xi'an rock.

Speaking of the history of Shijiazhuang rock and roll, we have to mention two local heavyweight magazines "Popular Songs" and "I Love Rock and Roll".

In the previous plane, underground music always gives people an ambiguous mystery because of its "underground" characteristics, and becomes synonymous with pioneers and avant-gardes.

The city of Shijiazhuang always has a moderate temperament and a thin cultural atmosphere. Except for Cui Jian’s concert in the early 1990s, Shijiazhuang’s memory of rock is basically blank.

At that time, Beijing was the number one rock center in China, there was no doubt that the music club represented by Wang Lei established the status of a rock center in southern Guangzhou. In addition, Xi'an, who had emerged from a group of outstanding rock singers such as Zheng Jun and Zhang Chu, Chengdu in Sichuan, and Shenyang in Northeast China, had a trend of underground music development in these cities, which were far better than Shijiazhuang.

The real origin of Shi-Jia-Zhuang is the growth of two rock magazines. "Popular Songs", known as the "first rock magazine in China", and "I Love Rock Music", which is best-selling across the country. Both of these magazines were born in Shi-Jia-Zhuang.

Previous plane. "Popular Songs", founded in 1987, was a well-known popular song book, and well-known songwriters such as Xu Peidong were once editors of the magazine.

In the late 1990s, the Chinese rock industry was in great shape, and "Popular Songs" changed its positioning and began to pay attention to pure rock music. It is famous for its timely reporting and professional interpretation of domestic and foreign rock music, and has become a popular magazine in the record industry and youth subculture.

"We have witnessed the development of domestic rock music, spread international and domestic rock information, and discovered many potential bands. This is the contribution our magazine has made to Chinese rock since the revision." said Mr. Cao Xianbang, president of the magazine.

If "Popular Songs" are regarded as a popular reading material, then the target group of "I Love Rock Music" is very clear, which is "underground".

The writing is unique and the content is novel. "I Love Rock" is an audio publication published with CD every month. It always releases several of the latest domestic singles. A large amount of information provides references to the majority of people who love rock. It is called "the enlightenment book of Rock Zhiqing".

Because of these two popular magazines across the country, people will think of Shi-Jia-Zhuang when they talk about rock. This is also one of the most important reasons why Du Xinghe thinks of wanting to get out and Shi-Jia-Zhuang when they think of Shi-Jia-Zhuang.

But in fact, Shijiazhuang is still far from the real rock and roll town. The band and audience lack communication, the single or double lack of technology and consciousness, and the chaos of the band, what is even more worrying is that the word "underground" is being misunderstood. Underground music is becoming a self-entertainment in a small circle and a guise used by some people to show off... The road is long and arduous. If this city wants to become a real rock and roll town, it still needs to pay more.

In fact, the Shijiazhuang Rock in the previous plane is basically the same pace as the entire domestic environment, and they have experienced the initial ignorance, the former glory, and even the dormant.

In the 1980s, after pop music began to sway onto the historical stage, people began to accept different lifestyles at an unprecedented speed and began to use music as a spiritual sustenance. All of this laid the foundation for Choi Jian to take the rock he understood to be onto the historical stage.

In 1986, at a concert commemorating the 100 singers of the International Peace Year held in Beijing, Cui Jian wore a dress that looked quite like a long gown in the Qing Dynasty, carried a broken guitar on his back, and jumped onto the stage of the Beijing Workers' Stadium, one high and one low. The audience in the audience still didn't understand what was going on...
