He loves music and likes singing. Mainly engaged in the integration of literature and art in cultural centers, collecting and sorting out folk literature and art materials. He gave full play to his specialty and devoted himself to this work. Every morning when he goes to work, he will practice and listen to songs, record his songs in the tape recorder, and then play them repeatedly to find out the defects in his vocal singing. To this day, he still treasures his antique tape recorder.
1In the autumn of 986, Zhang Jianjun signed up for the music competition held in Ningxia, and he won the prize of excellence for a folk song of Yanchi. Zhang Jianjun was very excited when he won the prize for the first time, which strengthened his pursuit of folk songs. In the same year, Zhang Jianjun's Ningxia Flowers and Boat Maiden were broadcast on CCTV 2' s Song of the Week, which won unanimous praise from the audience. From then on, he fell in love with "flowers" deeply.
When Zhang Jianjun first tried to sharpen his edge, he got unexpected good results and found the main direction of his art. From then on, he studied and practiced songs harder, got up early and went to bed late, and kept practicing. Librarians in cultural centers are mainly engaged in mass cultural work. Some colleagues don't understand his ambition and think that it is absolutely unnecessary for him to practice his basic skills so hard. In fact, Zhang Jianjun has set a goal in his mind. No matter what his colleagues and friends think of his practice, he just laughs and doesn't answer. He has always held a wish that he must sing a famous song, "sing the flowers of Ningxia and sing the flowers of China." During the period of 1988, Zhang Jianjun could sing less than ten prefaces to Hua Er, which was the basis of his study of the folk song Hua Er.
For the sake of "Hua 'er" in his heart, Zhang Jianjun went to Etuokeqian Banner and Houqi, near Yanchi County, Inner Mongolia, for many times in the three years after 1987. Under the guidance of his teacher, Zhang Jianjun assiduously studied all kinds of folk songs and their singing skills and styles, learned artistic nutrition from them, and constantly improved his artistic level. He not only mastered the singing characteristics and methods of "Hua 'er" in Ningxia, but also learned the "mountain climbing tune" in Inner Mongolia and "Xintianyou" in northern Shaanxi. Today, Zhang Jianjun is the only one who can sing these three kinds of folk songs at the same time.
With the deepening of study and research, Zhang Jianjun clearly realized that the ancient "flowers" had been silent for more than ten years during the Cultural Revolution, and in the 1980s, with its beautiful melody and unique charm, they re-bloomed in the ancient Yuan Ye in northwest China, and appeared in the famous Chinese and foreign CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Therefore, under the influence of modern people's hearing, "wall" has become a "business card" in the west. Many literary and art workers in the five northwestern provinces set off an upsurge of studying "flowers". Provinces have been arguing endlessly about the birthplace of "Hua 'er", and it has been difficult to draw the conclusion that every province is the hometown, maiden's family and so on from the perspective of hometown. Through the in-depth study of "Hua 'er" in various places, he believes that "Hua 'er" in various places has its own local characteristics and charm in terms of music melody, singing style and lyrics, but the singer's performance is single and the lyrics are too dialect, which makes many viewers only appreciate the tune of "Hua 'er" and can't go deep into the cultural details expressed by "Hua 'er". Ningxia "Huaer" has a long history, and the reason why it is difficult to sing in the northwest and the whole country is mainly due to the lack of certain market development, artistic packaging and processing. Through in-depth study, his determination to carry forward "Ningxia Flowers" has become more determined. To this end, Zhang Jianjun made great efforts to go deep into the people, traveled all over Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Mongolia, collected and sorted out the original ecological "flowers", and at the same time learned the artistic singing methods of Chinese and foreign popular songs. On this basis, he learned from others and combined with modern processing, and gradually formed the biggest feature of Zhang Jianjun folk songs. He said: "Every excellent song has its cultural background. If you don't go among the people, you can't create a real Ningxia folk song. " In order to make the "Flower" in Ningxia a new bright spot in the whole country, Zhang Jianjun personally goes out to collect folk songs every year. It was in the process of collecting wind that he excavated and sorted out the unique "flower" order in Ningxia-the silly meat order. He is the only person in this country who can sing this kind of folk song.
From 1990, Zhang Jianjun's songs were sung from Yanchi Mountain to the bustling Yinchuan and to Ningxia TV Station, and participated in the Spring Festival Galas in Ningxia in 1990, 1992, 1996 and 1998. 1992, Qinghai TV held a "Flower" Meet-and-Meet TV Competition, and Zhang Jianjun sang two Ningxia original songs, Grasping Rough Noodles and Stumbling on Mud, and won the title of "Northwest Youth Flower King" in one fell swoop.
Zhang Jianjun won the title of "Kao" for the first time and became famous in one fell swoop, but he was not complacent and stopped fighting. From 65438 to 0993, Yanchi County cherished and trained talents, and sent Zhang Jianjun to Ningxia Education College to systematically study vocal music theory and folk song creation. For six years, he has never relaxed his demands on himself. He not only mastered the relevant music theory systematically and solidly, but also collected and created folk songs in various places. During this period of study, Zhang Jianjun's life has been sublimated from a jade to an artistic jade, with more exquisite creation and more beautiful singing.
On August 9th, 1998, the "Husha Cup" singer contest in northwest China was held in Hu Sha, a famous scenic tourist area in Ningxia, and the scene was very lively. Many folk singers from the northwest gathered here to show their voices. Zhang Jianjun stood out from many contestants and won the first prize, becoming the only Ningxia native to win this honor. Since then, the reputation of "Northwest Kao" has spread like wildfire.
In 2004, Zhang Jianjun took part in a folk song (flower) competition in western China. "Northwest Flower King" lived up to expectations and won the gold medal again, winning the title of "West Folk Song (Flower) King". Since then, Zhang Jianjun's "flowers" have swept the country. He has participated in the theme song singing of the Fourth National People's Games, the performance of the 13th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in Ningxia, and the creation and performance of the large-scale national song and dance "Spring Tide in the Frontier" presented in Beijing for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was cordially received by the leaders of the central government and the autonomous region.
