What are the customs in Shaodong, Hunan?

“Only Chu has talents, and others are prosperous.” Hunan is a magical treasure land of folk songs.

The southern barbarians of Jingchu were originally a place to transform from the outside world, but since Qu Yuan lived in Yuan and Xiang and wrote "Nine Songs" and "Li Sao", the romantic humanistic sentiments of the Chinese nation began here. After thousands of years of operation, it has become a unique Hunan culture, which has its origins.

Mencius said, "The joy of today is still the joy of ancient times." I firmly believe it. Folk songs originate from life and precede writing, so it is definitely true that poetry and articles in written genres draw on folk songs. For example, he introduced the Western tunes of Wu songs into Yuefu, making them deeply fresh and lively; Liu Yuxi incorporated Chu folk songs into "Zhuzhi Ci" and "Langtaosha" and spread them through the ages; The literary style of a generation (since the Southern Song Dynasty, poets excessively pursued "elegance and integrity" and abandoned "vulgar songs and slang ballads", which eventually led to the decline of poetry and the prosperity was no longer prosperous, which is enough evidence); folk songs were incorporated into Yuan opera, forming the origin of modern folk art and drama... ...From this point of view, folk songs have made great contributions to the growth of the spiritual life of the Chinese nation.

Hunan folk songs are, first of all, a flourishing of talents. I have been asking whether chili pepper will affect the voice, but it is such a group of Hunan people who specialize in chili peppers that they can sing in the Chinese music scene. Not to mention Song Zuying, Zhang Ye, Tang Can and others who are active in the contemporary music scene, let's just talk about the older generation artists such as He Jiguang and Li Guyi. He Jiguang was born in his hometown of Taohuayuan, where Tujia, Miao and Han people live together in Wuling. He has been exposed to folk songs since he was a child. It is said that he once learned the singing method of high-pitched folk songs from an old Miao artist, and incorporated scientific vocal methods into it, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false sounds, creating a unique style. His voice is pure and broad, so high it can break a thread, and so soft it can make water flow. What more could one ask for! In the 1980s, he became famous throughout the country for his song "Carrying Tea to Beijing". His singing fully embodies the charm of high-pitched folk songs, such as the opening of "Dongting Yumixiang", the opening of "Missing", the last "singing hymn" sentence of "It's been a long time since I've been to this slope", a clean and neat accent, But it was extremely melodious, resounding through the clouds. Mr. He, who was born as a representative of the National People's Congress, cared about people's livelihood and supported the underachievers. Li Guyi, Song Zuying, Zhang Ye, etc. were all taught by him. Concentrate on music and work tirelessly. In 2002, I was shocked to hear that Mr. Yong Ran passed away at the age of 63. He passed away in the prime of his art, "making our eyes full of tears." I sighed secretly.

Everyone is familiar with Li Guyi. He entered folk songs from Hunan flower drums. His representative works include "Sister Looking for Brother and Tears", "Nostalgic Love", "Unforgettable Tonight", etc. Strictly speaking, she is not a pure folk singer, but is on the road to new creative works, and it is difficult for her to have a good voice.

There is another person who must be mentioned, Wu Bixia. This is a soprano Western coloratura singer with a professional background, who currently teaches at the China Conservatory of Music. Western bel canto and national singing have always been incompatible. For the nation, it is either too conservative and difficult to develop, or it is completely westernized and changed beyond recognition. However, Wu is able to handle both singing styles with ease and is favored by China and foreign countries. I have coveted one of her "good bonus" albums for many years, which contains her "On whether "fish" and "bear's paw" can be both - On singing concepts and thinking methods in singing Chinese and foreign works."

Hunan folk songs, followed by genre content. Wuling Mountain in western and northwestern Hunan, Hengshan Mountain in southern Hunan, and the vast Dongting in northern Hunan, plus the four major water systems of Xiang, Zi, Yuan, and Li, run through the entire territory. There are plains, water towns, mountains, and hills, so haozi, folk songs, There are abundant field songs, minor tunes and folk songs. Give evidence with examples. Haozi, represented by "Lishui Boatman Haozi" (Jin City, Li County), has been adapted and divided into three parts, becoming a large-scale vocal work with a complete system; folk songs have the most works, as bright as a nebula, such as "Lang "Playing folk songs outside" (Changsha) "Break tea in cold water and slowly thicken it" (Sangzhi); Tiange, which is a special form of folk song in rice-growing areas, is somewhere between folk songs and chants, such as "Field Song" (Sangzhi) Shaoshan), "Luo Luodong" (Yueyang), etc., but I have only read them in literature and have not been lucky enough to listen to them; minor tunes are more lyrical, such as "Flowers Blooming All Seasons" and "A Girl from the Countryside Comes to the City" (Shaodong) etc.; custom songs reflect folk customs, weddings and funerals, and were closely related to life in ancient times, such as "Copper Coin Song" (Yiyang), which can be heard only rarely.

Hunan folk songs are once again rich in content, fresh and healthy, and have beautiful words. Some of them can be called the essence of words. Folk songs come from daily life, and some of them are a bit vulgar, but I think Hunan has many fine folk songs, and they are all language geniuses.

The song "Missing" written by He Jiguang is the one that impressed me the most: "The mountains are high and the water is long and the road is vast. Sister Lang is far apart on both sides. It is rare to see each other. We miss each other day and night."

There is a piece of lovesickness land in front of the door, with two rows of celery and leeks planted. The man cuts the celery and misses his sister diligently, and the sister cuts the leeks and looks at him for a long time. "I don't know whether it was created by literati or originated from the people. I firmly believe in the latter. Just look at the love between two people. It is straightforward and not obvious, but uses artistic metaphors to plant "celery" and "leek" vegetables on the lovesickness land to "diligence". "Looking for a long time, the image is vivid, the emotions of life are blended together, how beautiful it is.

Another example is "The mulberry tree is setting up a lampstand" (Deng Hailun): "The mulberry tree is setting up a lampstand, write I wrote a letter with my sister, and my husband went to help with the work (sometimes he filled in the word "soldier"). My sister is also at home. I won't be able to come for three to five years, and you can plant flowers elsewhere. Build a lampstand under the mulberry tree, write a letter to the man, if you don’t come for one year, I will wait for one year, if you don’t come for two years, I will wait for two years, and spring will not come. The flowers don't bloom (some also use the phrase "the lock won't open even if the key isn't there"). Let's set up a lampstand under the mulberry tree. My sister is at home to visit me. The poor know the suffering of the poor best. I, the poor, have the love of the poor. Ah, the bitter cauliflower is blooming, come and meet." First, he asked for something to cheer him up (originating from the Book of Songs, which has existed since ancient times). The man first expressed his feelings, "I am a poor man, and I have to go out for three to five years. Although you and I are good friends, , but for the sake of your youth, it’s better not to marry him.” But the woman immediately wrote back, her love stronger than gold, “What’s wrong with the poor? What about going out? I will definitely wait for you to come back. I am your flower in spring, and you are the key to my lock. Don’t worry! "There is no oath of love, but they are unswervingly loyal. I suddenly remembered that in "The Peacock Flies Southeast", "You are the rock, and I am the pampas grass. The pampas grass is as tough as silk, and the rock has no transference." There are actually different tunes but the same purpose. The tune is gentle and sweet. , but there is no sadness at all, which is different from the ordinary spring thoughts. The answer is like "A girl from the countryside comes to the city":

"A girl from the countryside comes to the city, and the girl from the countryside has no (mao, no) clothes." Shoes (hai), why (huo) not marry in my city

Go (ke), wear a cheongsam on top and shoes on the bottom. Don't laugh at me, city boy. It's much better for me to be barefoot. I can pick up a hundred pounds of snails from the mountains and water snails from the fields. When a girl from the countryside comes to the city, it is difficult to carry her handbag (lou) on her shoulders, so why not marry her to my city (ke) and have someone carry her three steps out of the house. Don’t laugh at me, city bastard. It’s much better for me to be barefoot (

juo). I don’t have the Tian family to work hard, and I can’t live without food (chia) or clothing."

The neat seven-character response is an example of folk songs reflecting life, indicating that a good life is created by labor, not landlords or exploiters such as "city tycoons

", indicating that labor The voice of the people.

Folk songs are a reflection of life. Although people lived a hard life in the past, they were diligent and optimistic, and I think their mental state was better than that of today. When I was in my junior year, I went to Changsha and saw a group of people sitting around singing flower drums under the Xiangjiang River Bridge. They were very happy and contented. I believe that Hunan people have lived artistically since ancient times.

People say that "Hunan women are passionate", not only Hunan women and the entire Hunan people are passionate, not only about love, but also about life, creation and romance

Such rich folk songs may not be popular. Can be superior to others.
