As a kind of viewing and playing things, gourd is popular in the north, especially in areas such as Beijing. Most of the gourds as appreciation are small gourds, in order to play the gourd. During the Spring Festival in Beijing, friends who visited relatives and friends found that in addition to the blooming flowers, many people’s homes also heard the sound of screaming, making the leisure atmosphere of the home “sound and colorful”.

In these 30 years, not only did many "Gourd Friends" from all over the country, but also the old man who was just deceased, "the biggest player in the capital," Wang Shizhen, had a deep friendship, and he also received a high evaluation from Wang Lao. 30 years ago, Wan Yongqiang, who was just fascinated with gourds, tried to grow gourds in the yard. From the Qing Dynasty, folk artists began to grow gourds with mud molds, which were used to seal the unfinished green gourds with good molds. In order to slowly grow the gourd into a pre-designed look. The young Wan Yongqiang began to try to reform with new technology. He tried to mold with plaster, and the effect was very good.

From the beginning of planting and cultivation, to the final formation, to the final process, it is not easy to play a good gourd after changing the color. In addition to playing the gourd, there is an important function that can make the cockroach stay comfortable inside and can express its vocal maximum. Wan Yongqiang said that he himself observed that whether it is a cockroach or an oil gourd (a kind of worm), when it is screaming in the gourd, it is also crawling up and down, looking around for a suitable place to skillfully use the echo. , to express your own voice to maximize. It seems that a small insect is willing to recite the most proud poems in front of everyone. It is no wonder that the players of this generation have to spare no effort to perfect themselves when they play their own hearts.
