“长沙原号古潭州，历史悠久几千秋。山清水秀美不胜收，弹词一曲把长沙游。”长沙弹词作为湖南最古老的曲种之一，承载着湘江水岸的历史文化记忆，并得到不断传承创新，焕发出新的活力。

师从国家级非遗长沙弹词泰斗彭延坤的王志敏，是彭老门下最年轻的“90后”传承人。为了学好长沙话，王志敏在听录音之余，还交了许多长沙本地的朋友，他常常去到市井中、菜市场这些热闹的地方，也会去河边上喝茶，听老长沙人聊天，思考、琢磨他们的发音和腔调。

随着时代进步，长沙弹词的每一代传承人都做了不同的尝试。从单人弹唱到群体表演，从历史故事到与老百姓生活息息相关的事情再到湖南的文化旅游，长沙弹词的表演形式和内容创作都在发生变化。

“Changsha was formerly known as Tanzhou,with thousands of years of history.The beautiful mountains and water are breathtaking, and I played a song to tour Changsha.”As one of the oldest tunes in Hunan, ChangshaTanci carries the historical and cultural memories of the Xiangjiang River, and has been continuously inherited and innovated to bring out new vitality.

Wang Zhimin, who studied under the national non-legacy ChangshaTanci master Peng Yankun, is the youngest,“post-90s” inheritor under Peng.In order to learn Changsha dialect, Wang made many local Changsha friends while listening to the recordings.He often went to such lively places as the city center and the market, and also went to drink tea and listen to the old Changsha people chatting, thinking and pondering over their pronunciations and accents.

With the progress of the times, each generation of ChangshaTanci inheritors have made different attempts.From single player to group performances, from historical stories to things closely related to the lives of the people toculture &tourism in Hunan, Changsha Tanci is changing both in the form of performances and in the creation of content.
