? Recently, I listened to the audiobook "Ordinary World" on the Himalayan Listening App. While listening to the book, I also found the original book to review it again. In a trance, I seemed to follow Lu Yao back to that time, back to the Shanbei plateau, back to the village of Shuangshui ......
In this revisiting of the classic, I paid attention to a character I had previously overlooked - Tian Wu, and also to the character of Tian Wu's mouth in Shaanxi Province. Tian Wu's mouth of the Shaan Bei Xin Tian You.
During the Lantern Festival in 1978, the people were immersed in a joyful atmosphere of Lantern Festival and rice-planting songs. Jar village and Shuangshui village fighting rice-planting song began. Wang Mingqing from Jarzi Village sang the question:
The people were in awe. Tian Wu from Shuangshui Village immediately responded by singing:
? Tian Wu's Xin Tian You listed twelve kinds of lanterns in a row, sung as if a string of firecrackers burst, the crowd rolled up a tumbling wave of sound for it.
When I read this part of the story, I really admired Mr. Lu Yao's ingenuity: by arranging for Tian Wu to be such a person, he not only showed us the unique charm of the Shaanbei Albatross and the folk culture unique to Shaanbei, but also played an important role in rendering the atmosphere, accentuating the mood of the characters, advancing the development of the story, shaping the characters, and enhancing the power of the art.
? Take this section of the fighting rice-planting song! A short lyrics, folk artist Tian Wu's image jumped out at me: quick reaction, quick thinking, eloquent, singing is not bad. This short lyrics also let us feel the Shaanbei Lantern Festival twisting rice-planting songs of the joyful scene, feel the rich regional culture and folk customs.
? If the Loess Plateau is a regional background of the entire novel, then the Reliant Tour is the folk background of the novel. It is indispensable and irreplaceable. If Tian Wu and his Xin Tian You were deleted from The Ordinary World, the novel would be eclipsed.
