Appendix 1 Rainbow Ridge Lyrics
Caihongling
Lyrics: First (Chen Dieyi)
Composer: Yao Min
Male) The two of us rowed the boat and picked the red diamond.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, my sister has feelings.
Just like two horns never separate.
We agree.
(Female) The two of us rowed the boat and picked the red diamond.
Yes, my sister is affectionate and I have a heart.
It's as if the water chestnut was born on the same day. )
We are soul mates.
Row the boat to the middle of the lake. Look, hey, look carefully.
The lake is clear. Taking a double photo is like a diamond with two horns.
(Female) Row the boat to the middle of the lake. Look, hey, look carefully.
One for you and one for me, just like two horns.
Adapted from Anhui folk songs, it originated in Xuanzhou, Anhui (another name is Gaochun, Jiangsu near Xuanzhou). Since the emergence of pop music at the beginning of last century, it has been very popular to collect folk songs and recreate them.
The original ecological folk song Caihongling has only one female voice, which is a portrayal of women's life in Xuanzhou: in Gaochun, picking Hongling in Huxia was originally a woman's job. In the water town in June, "there are many green rhombic leaves in the winding river that stretches for more than ten miles." In the deep shade of weeping willows, a basin of rhinestones floated out, and the surface of the rhinestones was cut open, revealing the traces of water on the surface of leaves. In the diamond-shaped basin, there are aunts sitting. They gently swing around the basin with wooden boards in their hands, while sticking the diamond-shaped basin to the water surface, rotating left and right, or drifting forward. "
This song was sung by 14-year-old future Chinese music superstar Teresa Teng in 1966. That year, she won the singing competition of Taiwan Golden Horse Award Record Company with a song "Picking the Red Order", and officially set foot on the professional music scene. Teresa Teng's song "Picking the Red Dragon" is said to have been written by famous Shanghai composers (later moved to Hongkong, China) Yao Min and Chen Dieyi.
According to the data, there was a corresponding singing version long before Teresa Teng. Before the popular song "Picking the Red Dragon", another very similar song "Picking the Red Dragon" was circulated in Jiangsu at the same time or earlier. The lyrics are: "(sing together) We paddled the boat to pick the red dragon. (a) Sister is so happy, (b) Sister is so happy. (Singing in chorus) Like two horns, born from the same root, we are of one mind ... "These two songs are basically the same, except that the duet in Teresa Teng's version was changed into a duet for sisters.
Yao Min and Chen Dieyi re-created Rainbow Ridge, making many changes in lyrics and rhythm, becoming a more popular duet "Love Song" and performing many versions. In addition to the above versions of Karen Mok and Wu Bai, there are Zhang Delan, Albert Au, Lv Wei and Tu Honggang, Tu Honggang and Li, Dong Wenhua. There is also a black duck combination version covering countless classic folk songs. The most beautiful thing is that Dance of Picking Ling once entered the international stage for the first time. After being processed by the Song and Dance Troupe of the Nanjing Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Song and Dance Picking Ling participated in the World Youth Student Festival in Vienna and won the silver prize, which caused a sensation in Vienna.
Only the national is the world. Rainbow Ridge has been reborn through constant singing, and I hope to see more wonderful versions!
