四、阅读短文,回答问题(答案不超过6个词)
When we talk about Chinese folk music, we think of a blind musician whose name is Abing. Abing was born in 1893 in the eastern Chinese city of Wuxi. His mother died very early. His father trained him in drums from the age of 10. Abing began learning the dizi at the age of 12, then the erhu. He learned to play many of the local instruments quite well. At the age of 17, Abing first performed in public, which made him well known for his musical talent.
When Abing was 35 years old, he got an eye disease and completely lost the sight of both eyes. From then on, he was known as Blind Abing. He often told people, "I haven't used the name Hua Yanjun for ages, no one knows it. It's better if you call me Blind Abing; that's the name that everyone on the street knows." Abing became homeless, and he had to make a living as a street performer.
After Abing got married in 1903, he continued to perform every afternoon in a public square in Wuxi. His most famous piece, Erquan Yingyue, was performed in this period. When listening to the moving piece of music, you can sense a strong sadness and pain behind the beauty.
During his lifetime, Abing developed his erhu skills to such a high level that his music spread throughout the country. However, it is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear.
Abing died in 1950. His Erquan Yingyue is still played as a standard erhu piece today. As one of China's national treasures, it is a piece which all the great erhu masters praise. The sad beauty makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own painful experiences.
