Chinese konghou 箜篌 (Tang-style harp) builder Wong Wai Kee 黄袆琦

"Konghou: Cross the Ocean of Time"《箜篌：时光复原师》, a 17-minute video focusing on the musical instrument builder Mr. Wong Wai Kee (黄袆琦; Mandarin: Huang Huiqi; b. 1939), a native of Hong Kong (with family background from Zhongshan, Guangdong province) who now lives and builds instruments in his workshop in the Nansha District (南沙区) of Guangzhou (广州市), Guangdong province, southern China. In 2008 Wong began the project of researching the history of Chinese harps and building reconstructed Tang-style konghou (箜篌, harps), completing his first instrument in 2009, and many more since then. His instruments have notably been used in concerts of the "Yinxiang: Guoyue"《印象·国乐》(Impressions of Our Nation's Music) project, performed in various cities in China since 2014, as well as by numerous soloists and ensembles. The video includes footage documenting some of the processes involved in the production of a Tang-style shu konghou (竖箜篌, angular harp), including the lacquering, which is done in the workshop of master lacquer artist Mr. Jiang Heping (蒋和平) in Zhuhai (珠海市), Guangdong. It also shows Mr. Wong's wife, Ms. Xu Bilan (许碧兰), tuning and playing a shu konghou. Several other instruments, including feng shou konghou (凤首箜篌, phoenix-headed arched harp) and bamboo wo konghou (卧箜篌, fretted zither plucked with a bamboo stick), as well as several different styles of shu konghou produced by Mr. Wong, are also shown. In addition to playing and teaching the konghou, Ms. Xu has developed and painted the designs on the soundboxes of many of Mr. Wong's konghou, never repeating a design from instrument to instrument, and often drawing inspiration from elements such as dragon, phoenix, magpie, and red-crowned crane. In order to give the konghou she paints such beautiful clothing, she often traveled to lacquer exhibitions to study the items therein, whether these exhibitions are held in Guangzhou or Beijing; as long as she has the time, she will not miss such events. Also featured in the video are the musicians and dancers of the Beijing-based Tang Dynasty Ritual and Music Restoration Group (Chinese: Tang Dai Li Yue Fuyuan Zu, 唐代礼乐复原组) and its director, Mr. Xu Ge (徐戈), as well as Ms. Zhang Qian (张倩), a shu konghou player based in Guangzhou, who performs "Xing Hua Tian Ying"《杏花天影》(Apricot Blossoms Against the Sky), a song by the Southern Song Dynasty poet-composer Jiang Kui (姜夔). Additionally, starting after 11:10, there is a performance of the Cantonese piece "Liu Lang Wen Ying"《柳浪闻莺》(Orioles Singing Among the Billowing Willows) by an ensemble featuring Mr. Wong on pipa and Ms. Xu on shu konghou, with gaohu, zhonghu, dongxiao, and zhongruan. This piece, whose title is also translated as "Orioles Singing in the Willows," was composed by Tan Peiyun (谭沛鋆), perhaps in the 1940s, and popularized in the 1950s in the arrangement made by Chen Pingjia (陈萍佳). This video, which is part of the series "Chinese Stories, Chinese Dream"《中国故事新说》, was probably filmed in 2020, and uploaded to the Internet on November 25, 2020. It was produced by Tencent News (腾讯新闻) and sponsored by the Hengchi (恒驰, officially Shenzhen Hengchi Automobile Trading Co., Ltd), a company which is also based in the Nansha District of Guangzhou. 《时光复原师》《时光复原师》第四期：箜篌
