Singed by Guo Song
This is the first time that I've seen a city card in the world. The white clouds drift over the mountain
Golden sunlight shines on the sails
Tighten the rudder
Hand in hand for a good harvest
Ahlangkhlakhnaray ahlangkhlakhnaray
The people of the Ussuri River are smiling
Red azaleas on the mountains have opened up with their smiles
Hetzhe people have embarked on the road to happiness
The people of Hezhe have spread a thousand nets
The people of Hezhe have spread a thousand nets
The people of the Hezhe have spread a thousand nets
Guo Song began singing "Ussuri Boat Song" in 1962, and has been singing it for more than 40 years now. About Guo Song, about "Ussuri Boat Song," there have been too many stories and legends over the decades.......
Doubt in the lyrics
"Ah Lang What does "heh-heh-neh-neh" mean?
What is the meaning of "ahlang hehnah na hehre give root" again?
Qi Yanhua, deputy director of the Tongjiang Mass Art Museum and vice president of the Herzhe Cultural Research Association, told reporters: "In fact, these words are professionally called 'liner notes', which is what we often refer to as false words, which do not have any practical significance and cannot be translated. Many people say that these imaginary words are the labor calls of the Hezhen people, which is obviously wrong."
Qi Yanhua added: "The scene of the Hezhen people spreading a thousand nets" is long gone, due to environmental pollution and transitional fishing and other factors, there are not so many fish in the Ussuri River now, and many fishermen have switched to farming. The red azalea in the line 'Smilingly bloomed all over the mountain' can be seen in Jiejinkou in March, but the local people call it 'Dazixiang', and the purple-pink blossoms that come into view are truly unforgettable."
"Ussuri Boat Song" includes three parts, the prelude, the main body and the epilogue, of which the prelude and the epilogue are based on the Hezhen rap music "Imakan", which uses only imaginary words; the main body's rhythm is based on the Hezhen folk song "Marrying Lincuo
The main part of the rhyme is based on the Hezhen folk song "Marrying Lincuo", "Marrying Lincuo" is a multi-purpose folk tune, which has been widely circulated among the Hezhen people, and a number of Hezhen folk songs with different names are sung with this tune, and it is the most representative of the traditional folk tune of the Hezhen people.

Raohe Farm is located in the green treasure trove of the mountain side of the Daitengzi.
According to historical records, as early as in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the farm territory is the Sushin people and other northern minorities of the world. 1991 in the Dannan Mountain top of the excavation of the Neolithic era of two people buried in the caves more prove that more than 7000 years ago, there are our ancestors live.
At the time of the Anti-Japanese War, this was the base camp of the Seventh Army of the Anti-Japanese United Front, and the heroic Anti-Japanese United Front fighters had killed a large number of Japanese robbers, such as Major General Commander Takeshiro Hino of the Japanese Kwantung Army, on Xinxing Island near the farm's 10th team.

Singing for the Hezhen people forever
The Ussuri Boat Song was born in 1962. At that time, Guo Song and others were determined to write an art song that glorified the leadership of the Party and the new life of socialism. So Guo Song and others came to the Jiejinkou Bajiao picking, where Guo Song heard a lot of Hezhe ditties, excited he first wrote the first draft of the lyrics, and then invited the lyricist Hu Xiaoshi, composer Wang Yuncai, three people *** with the Hezhe folk tune "want to love" on the basis of artistic recreation, repeated modifications over half a year, before gradually finalized and sung by Guo Song first.
The folk music tune "Thinking of Love Lang" circulated among the Hezhen people in Northeast China belongs to a traditional form of folk literature and art of the Hezhen people, and the author of the tune "Ussuri Boat Song" absorbed "Thinking of Love Lang" and other traditional folk tunes of the Hezhen people that are most root-digging in their creation. Therefore, in the dispute over whether the copyright of the music of the Ussuri Boat Song belonged to the Hezhen people or to Guo Song, who made the song famous decades later, the Beijing Municipal Second Intermediate People's Court ruled that: the main tune of the Ussuri Boat Song was an artistic re-creation of Guo Song and others based on the Hezhen folk tune "Thinking of Love", adapted into a work of art, and was not a composition. When Guo Song and others used the work "Ussuri Boat Song", they should have objectively stated that the tune of the song was adapted from a traditional Herzhe folk tune.
