Tang Tenghua, a Youyang folk artist, believes that "Huangyang Bianjian" first appeared in Dongliukou, Xiaoba Township, Youyang County.
It is said that it is easy to find old people there who sing it with their mouths open, but the lyrics are different from the one that is popular at home and abroad; instead, it reads, "Huangyang wood comes out of Dongliukou, and it is pushed to become a flat stretcher that is so soft that a sister follows her brother on the ninth day of the fourth month and carries a load of white rice down to Youzhou".
The people of Youyang agree with Yu Junjian's "Down Liuzhou should be Down Youzhou". The first reason is that it is impossible to pick up rice from Liuzhou, which is thousands of miles away from Yudongnan, and the second reason is that Liuzhou is a rich rice producer, so you don't have to go all the way there to ask for rice.
Youyang literary circles bite the "lower Youzhou" not to let go, a "lower" word to prove that the origin of the "Huangyang flat burden" at a higher altitude than the seat of the state capital of Youyang (Youyang is known as the ancient state of Youzhou). Dongliukou is just such a place, coupled with the abundance of rice and boxwood here, "carry a load of rice under Youzhou" is too apt. It is reported that in 1958, during the period of steel refining, Youyang Tonggu Township, Fu Yueh-Lan and others adapted the lyrics of "Poplar Stretcher" as: "Poplar Stretcher is soft and slippery, picking the grains, picking the grains to send rations; Poplar Stretcher is soft and slippery, picking the dry charcoal, picking the firewood to send to the factory". Youyang respectively in Xiaoba Garden, Dongliukou, Xinqiao found that Youyang bracts lantern opera in the song "big across the river" accompanied by the music is similar to the original "Huangyang Bianzhuan". Youyang, Xiushan two counties in order to fight for "Huangyang Bianjian" from where to fight for two years. It is reported that during this time, both the government and the private sector showed great enthusiasm and invested a lot of energy.
Why do they care so much about whether a song comes out of their county, regardless of where the hometown of "Huang Yang Bian Tan" is?
A faculty member at Chongqing University of Technology and Business believes that this incident actually reflects the growing importance local governments are placing on cultural branding, and the promotion of economic development that comes from the success of such branding.
Throughout the five years of development, Tongliang vigorously explore the dragon culture; Hechuan around the publicity of the fishing city and culture; Qianjiang continue to strengthen the Tujia ethnic culture. The reason is the same, so as to promote the local economic construction. Qianjiang, for example, its urban construction, investment, tourism planning, etc. have attached importance to the penetration of culture, Qianjiang tourism has made great progress in the city inside and outside the city's reputation is getting louder and louder.
Xiushan specifically set up a "rescue and revitalization of lanterns leading group" to explore and organize the county lantern culture, and spent 20 million yuan to build a lantern square, the former vice minister of the propaganda department, Yu Zaihua said: "culture on the stage, the economy sings.
Youyang to national culture branding intentions more obvious. First of all, efforts to obtain the "Chinese Tujia pendulum dance hometown" of the "golden signboard", and then organized the "International Rock Climbing Festival" to let more people contact the Tujia culture; their tourism for this reason! The total number of tourists during the golden week of May 1, 2010, is equivalent to the number of people in previous years, and they wanted to make tourism their pillar industry in 2005.
"Huangyang Bianlian" is a miscellaneous tune in the Xiushan lantern music, it and another Xiushan folk song < < a handful of rapeseed > > almost can be said to be the soul of the Xiushan lanterns, Xiushan mountains and beautiful water, beautiful scenery, the land is rich and fertile, is a fertile ground for folk art. What's more rare is that today's singing all over the country, "Huang Yang Bian Tan" is still the original flavor, a note has not changed.
