Songwriter Zhang Zhongyin wrote the following poem: Liaoyang City
Zhuanxu has been divided into two parts for many years, and the scenery of the mountains and rivers is still the same.
The culture and education of the Holy Dynasty is now covered, and the rituals and music of every family are complete. Also known as the mountain song, it is a short song that can be sung at any time in the mountains and fields along with the rhythm of labor. Miscellaneous songs have a relatively free meter and a single score, which is suitable for improvisation and singing, and has a distinctive local style. The content has inverted rice-planting songs, ugly rice-planting songs, pastoral songs, ramming songs and so on, such as the following song "Dumb Dumb Dumb":
A chicken high on the mountain, jangling and flying at the bottom of the temple eaves.
If you have the heart to sing a few lines, your mouth is dry and your belly is hungry (so cough). The main part of the Zuoquan folk song is the common name for folk song tunes, which are suitable for people to hum when they are engaged in easier labor. The tunes are short, easy to learn and easy to sing, and you can fill in and change the lyrics by yourself, and the lyrics are extremely rich.
For example, reflecting daily life:
Oh, I'm going down to the river to wash my clothes, and I'm kneeling on a stone, oh, oh, I'm going down to the river to wash my clothes, and I'm kneeling on a stone, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Small hands are red, small hands are white, rub the clothes and shake the pigtails.
Small kisses, small love, turn your good face over, small kisses, oh yeah,
When you say turn it over, turn it over, a good face goes with a good boy, small kisses, oh yeah.
(Washing Clothes)
Singing about historical figures:
The Daoguang Dynasty was just a few years old, when the Western devils entered the Middle Kingdom. In order to take over China's land, they made the people eat foreign cigarettes.
The people ate foreign cigarettes and sold their children and property. They sold all of their bodies, and their bones are not safe.
......
The Governor of Guangdong, Mr. Lin, ordered the ban on cigarettes. The first time I saw this, I was able to find tens of thousands of cases of foreign cigarettes and burned them all in a single fire.
The people are all smiles, and this is a good thing to do.
The people of China are happy to see that this is a good thing, and I'm happy to see that the people of China are happy.
(Banning foreign cigarettes)
Reflecting love:
The peach blossom is red, the apricot blossom is white, the peach blossom is red, the apricot blossom is white. I've been looking for you for a long time, and I've been looking for you for a long time, and I've been looking for you for a long time.
The elm tree will blossom when it comes to you. Oh, you'll have more than me, you'll have more heart than me.
You'll blossom when the pot comes, and you'll be more numerous when it doesn't, and you'll be more thoughtful than me, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
Peach blossoms are red, apricot blossoms are white, and I've climbed mountains to find you, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to find you.
The golden needle will blossom, the six petals will be yellow, and you will be in love with your brother, ahg yah yah yah yah yah.
(Peach Blossom Red, Apricot Blossom White)
Reflecting the people's revolutionary struggle:
General Zuoquan, who lives in Liling County, Hunan Province, is an outstanding member of the Chinese ****production party.
The old folks, he is an excellent member of the Chinese ****production party.
......
General Zuoquan sacrificed himself for the people, and we, the people of Liao County, avenge his hatred.
The old folks, we Liao County people for him to avenge hatred. Since the 1930s, a unique form - the "Blossom Tune" - has been derived from the ditty. The first sentence is often "XX Blossom" as the starter, and the next sentence is the title, the song structure is parallel and symmetrical, the tune is short, the melody is bright and fast, it is long in lyricism, and the content is mostly reflecting love. Skilled folk artists can "do even sing even, think even sing even". "Zuoquan Blossom Tune" is a unique song in Zuoquan folk songs. In the "blooming tune", not only plants can bloom, other things can bloom, stone, broom, door hitch (door buckle), curtains, glass ...... In short, everything used as a metaphor for things can bloom.
Yam egg blossomed and knotted lumps, oh pro is my heart and liver petal.
Half a bowl of beans and half a bowl of rice, I thought of you when I picked up the rice bowl.
......
The glass blossom is bright inside and outside, and I can see my oh-yeung relatives from afar.
I have a friendship with my brother, but my parents prevented me from getting married.
I wish I could be a bird with two wings and fly freely in the sky. I wish I could be a pair of butterflies and dance among the flowers, and never leave my oh-oh.
(Bitter Thoughts)
Curtains are blossoming, curtains are facing out, you are not here.
The tree is in full bloom, and the trees are in full blossom, so I didn't say anything when I saw you on the street.
The peppercorn tree is in full bloom, and I want to talk to you about it.
......
The bean curd blossomed ah curved back, don't want to go you return.
("I don't want to go, you come back")
Cherries are hard to eat and hard to plant, and it's hard to open your mouth when you have those thoughts.
Shandandan blossomed back puddle bloomed, with those thoughts come slowly.
The stone slabs are bare, and I want to be more than you.
The sorghum in the valley is not normal high, and you are the only one who can pick among the people!
Planting green onions in the sand can't take root because my family is poor and I don't dare to say anything.
Smoking pots and lamps are a little bit bright, and a small wine cup to measure the rice does not mean you are poor.
("With a mind to come slowly")
From the above examples, it can be seen that the lyrics of Zuoquan folk songs are very refined in their use of the technique of "fubi xing" (赋比兴). Not only that, but the reasonable use of hyperbole, harmonization, puns, superimposed words, and the use of false words in dialect further enhances the expressive power of the folk songs. Moreover, most of the lyrics are improvised and sung as they are made up, so there is no need to learn them specifically, and they can be learned as soon as they are sung, and so they are very widely circulated.
Every year, the Lantern Festival is the time for folk singers to show off their skills. The streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns, and a red and prosperous "social fire" is lit in front of every house, with the "head of the society" leading the way, beating gongs and drums, and carrying lanterns in a procession. What do you think? Why don't you go and watch the lanterns together? If you want to watch the performance, you can set off a few firecrackers in front of your house to stop the procession, in addition to going to a fixed place. Watching those boys and girls dressed in costumes, waving colorful fans, singing folk songs and twisting the "Little Flower Opera", will your mood also become younger? Maybe they will even improvise and sing a part of your "glorious" story!
In fact, why wait until the 15th day of the first month to listen to folk songs? As depicted in the Qing Dynasty poem by Wang Hsien-ming:
One night's rain raises the pillow, and the day dawns with moisturizing water all over the countryside.
Peach red, willow green and smoke in the village, with shouting and singing whip lazy cattle.
Folk song, has become an essential part of the life of the people of Zuoquan, she is y rooted in this land, melting in people's hard-working and kind feelings, and can no longer pull out, can not be separated.
