Someone said: "The village under the mountain is the place where Qiao Yu stayed." I was even more surprised, how could Qiao Yu related to the sand river? That familiar song is really related to the seasonal river under the mountain? What is the name of that river? Is the river that inspired Qiao Yu in the beginning wider and more turbulent than now?
When the bus passed through the village, I saw a wooden sailboat at the head of the village, and I also found a music square in the village, with Qiao Yu's head painted on a wall, and when I climbed the Guangyang Mountain, I also saw the stone carving of "Lao Dan's practice place" inscribed by Qiao Yu.
From Xingtai back, I have been looking for an answer: what is the origin of Qiao Yu and Shahe? Why did the "big river with wide waves" appear on that hillside? What was the river like in the past? Could it be the river that inspired Qiao Yu's creation? Are the mountains and valleys there related to the Fourth Ice Age? Why was the village called Ferry? What was the river called historically?
By consulting a lot of information, I just know: the early 1970s, Li Siguang on the remains of the Shahe glacier to carry out a comprehensive investigation, and found that the remaining glacial deposits more moraine terrace, moraine Longgang and moraine foo, the largest moraine terrace from the village of Fukou to the east to unfold, roughly fan-shaped distribution. No wonder the geographical features there are very peculiar, the original are related to the glacier. Ferry water roaring from the river, to this open and gentle, began to ferry, the ancient ferry, so the name. Yuan Dynasty years there are three streets and six alleys, because of the mouth of the mountains and rivers, mountain people out of Sichuan into the mountains must pass through this place, also known as small line state. The village is located in the north of Guangyang Mountain and in the south of Dasha River, which is commonly known as Beidahu River and recorded in the county records as "the water of the sun". "The downstream of the water used to gush out a hundred springs, and Xingtai was known as the "Spring City" in ancient times. "All springs around Xing, manna overflowed everywhere, and springs surged on the ground" is the water once surging in a hundred points, spouting pearls and spitting jade without a break, which is comparable to Jinan.
With the changing times, the past "Hundred Springs" scenery disappeared, "Fax" gradually disappeared, the water to the white sand now, replaced by "Dasha River". In the 1970s, the upper reaches of the Zhuzhuang Reservoir and Dongshiling Reservoir (now Qinwang Lake), coupled with less rain, the water level fell, when the "water", in addition to the summer reservoir release, usually difficult to find the water shadow.
I think, in the past, "the water" must have stirred up a stirring heavenly scene; "the water" must have rippled up the rolling waves of the snow pile of jade; "the water" must have happened on the banks of the river. There must have been a touching and beautiful story on the banks of the river. Just all this, by the sands of the years buried in time, when I lifted the curtain of history, can clearly find that there left many little-known stories.
It is reported that in the 1950s and 1960s, Qiao Yu has three times to the ferry village in-depth life for six years, creating a large number of excellent lyrics and literary works. He has always called Shahe Ferry Village his second hometown.
Qiao Yu, a native of Jining, Shandong Province, was introduced to Xingtai in 1946 to study at the Northern University of Hebei, Luhu and Henan Border Region (the predecessor of Renmin University), and began to publish poems, novels, and Yangge Opera during his time at the school. 1948, after graduating from the university, he actively participated in the land reform movement in the Taihang Mountains. Wang Renzhong, then head of the land reform work group (after liberation, he served as Vice Premier of the State Council and Minister of the Central Propaganda Department), transferred Qiao Yu, who was only 20 years old, to work in the Policy Research Office of the North China and Ji'nan District of the People's Republic of China.
In the early 1950s, Qiao Yu went to Shahe as a young choreographer for the Chinese Opera and Dance Theater to work as the deputy minister of the propaganda department of the county party committee. The next day, he dove headfirst into the Taihang Mountainous Ferry Village, staying at the home of national labor model Liu Qingyun. During the day, he worked with the masses, and at night, he set up a kang table on the kang at the east end of the south house and lit a kerosene lamp to create. The peasants could not afford to light the lamps, and the big girls and small daughters-in-law gathered around the "Minister of Xiu Cai" from the capital to talk about the world and new things, and did needlework by the light of the oil lamps. Qiao Yu also inadvertently understand a lot of local conditions, has created many popular plays and lyrics.
In 1956, the season of rice, Qiao Yu was ordered to go to the southeast of Ganshan, west of Fujian, to experience life, collect material, write a second domestic revolutionary war in the Soviet Union during the period of children's life as the subject of the movie script, that is, later a household name of the "red child". When he was in the critical stage of the interview, the Changchun Film Studio Shamong director of the telegrams one after another urged, about him for the film being shot in the movie "Shangganling" to create lyrics.
As soon as the car, Shamong told the situation, the film has been shot, the dailies have been cut out, leaving only a few minutes of the interlude scene, such as the song out and then make up the shot. The film crew is sitting down and waiting, and even if they don't do anything, it will cost them two thousand dollars a day, which was not a small amount of money at that time.
Qiao Yu busy asked Shamon: "What do you think the song should be written as?" Shamon said, "You can write it however you want, I just hope that in the future no one will watch this movie, and the song will still be sung."
Qiao Yu has read the script of "Shangganling", so he found the demo movie and watched it for a whole day. He struggled to find an angle, peace after the war, the smoke filled rivers and mountains after the picturesque ......
In the creation of that period of time, Changchun had a heavy rain. After the rain cleared, Qiao Yu took a walk outside and found a group of children putting grass boats in the gutter. This small detail immersed Qiao Yu in his hometown of . Grand Canal, the Ferry River in the Taihang Mountains, and memories of passing through the Yangtze River. Water has always been the "source" of Qiao Yu's creative inspiration. He rushed back, sitting at the writing table, the first sentence that "popped up" is: "a big river with wide waves." The most important feature of Qiao Yu's lyrics is that when there is a line, it is the same as the whole piece. More than half a month of suffering, anticipation, "a big river" was finally born.
The next day, Shamong took the manuscript and asked: a big river is not the Yangtze River? Qiao Yu said both is and is not. Shamong also asked: why not write "ten thousand miles of the Yangtze River wave width" or "Yangtze River ten thousand miles of the wave width", this is not more momentum? This question to the Qiao Yu asked. In the lyrics, "rice flowers", "boatman" and "white sails" are not only the scene of the Yangtze River, but also the scenery witnessed by the Grand Canal and the Ferry River. He spread the manuscript on the table, read it again and again, with "ten thousand miles of the Yangtze River" or "Yangtze River ten thousand miles" is indeed a little stronger, but then it becomes a song about the Yangtze River, people who have never seen the Yangtze River, will produce a sense of distance. In fact, everyone has a hometown river in his heart, no matter where you are, as long as you think of home, you will think of the river. Qiao Yu put these words with Shamong, he felt reasonable, then agreed to ......
Later the song title was changed to "my motherland", finalized, Shamong will be the lyrics to the composer Liu Chih. Liu Chih is a famous composer, but this time also "hold" for a long time. Nearly 20 days later, the score was written, and everyone who heard it applauded it. Then, the long shadow invited a group of domestic singers who specialize in folk songs to sing, the results are not very satisfied. When Qiao Yu learned of this, he suggested Guo Lanying. Guo Lanying gave it a try and the audience applauded. Afterwards, the crew contacted the Central People's Broadcasting Station (CPB), which had the best conditions at the time, to record the song. The next day after the recording, the radio station broadcast the song to the whole country. So, there was a movie has not yet been released, the episode of the song is red throughout the country.
Every classic track has its own story behind its birth. From the story behind "My Country", let's feel the charm of this one song more y.
The National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival just past, one is the celebration of the nation; the other is the joy of all people. The establishment of the new China has realized the wish of the Chinese people for freedom and liberation for thousands of years.
A movie by Qiao Yu lyrics, Liu Chih composing the theme song of the movie "Shangganling" so shocked every Chinese, let us and the song that resonates across the Yangtze River, blessing the great motherland and the people, right: "A big river with wide waves, the wind blowing the rice flowers on both sides of the river. My family lives on the bank, used to hearing the boatmen's horns, used to seeing the white sails on the boat ......"
