I've always loved folk songs, and with the Learning Power app, the learning process is often along the lines of "radio" - "listening to culture" - "listening to culture" - "listening to culture" - "listening to culture" - "listening to culture" - "listening to culture" - "listening to culture" - "listening to culture". I've always loved folk songs, and with the Learning Power app, I tend to follow the path of "Radio" - "Listening to Culture" - "Chinese Folk Songs" to listen to a few folk songs first. Here, there are several sections, such as "Classic Folk Songs", "New Folk Songs" and "Ethnic Songs". I patronize more or "classic folk songs", here covers Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Shandong, Gansu, Northeast, Jiangnan, Tibet, Hunan, Hebei, Jiangsu, Qinghai, Yunnan, Xinjiang and other places of folk songs.
Generally speaking, when people are young, like a bird with hardened wings, they hope to fly higher and farther, and when they get older, like a tired bird longing for home, they always think of the sky of their childhood. In the convenient transportation and developed communication nowadays, we can't talk about how much nostalgia, but the nostalgia for the homeland is unabated. The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't know what to say, but I'd like to say that I'm not sure what to say, and I'd like to say that I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure what to say.
Mentioning the fun places in Hubei Province, Shennongjia forest area has to be mentioned. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do that with the help of your own personal computer. When you visit Shennongjia, you can usually see the famous Taoist mountain Wudang Mountain and the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River, which is the most strange and dangerous part of the Yangtze River, because they are on the same touristic belt and are close to each other.
The Chinese people are called the Children of the Yellow Emperor, and the Emperor of the Yellow Emperor is Shennong. The name Shennongjia is derived from the fact that Shennong set up a wooden ladder here to taste all kinds of herbs, to save people's lives and to teach them how to gather crops.
When I was in college, I knew that a teacher in the biology department of our school was in love with Shennongjia's "wild man" research, and the media did a lot of reporting, so I was very interested in Shennongjia at that time.
Shennongjia is sparsely populated, and according to the latest statistics, there are less than 60,000 permanent residents, with an area of more than 3,200 square kilometers. Here, nature is well protected, it is China's first to be recognized by the UNESCO "Man and the Biosphere Nature Reserve" "World Geopark" "World Heritage" three major names in the income. It is the first area in China to be recognized by UNESCO as a "Man and Biosphere Nature Reserve", "World Geopark" and "World Heritage Site". This place, there is the highest point in Hubei Province and even Central China - as high as 3105.4 meters Shennong Peak, there is also 398 meters of the lowest point of the Shizhu River, a drop of 2707.4 meters, the same region has such a large drop I'm afraid that only the Tibetan Plateau, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, in the Mainland is rare. In this way, the biodiversity and landscape diversity can be seen in this small area of only half of Shanghai.
In Shennongjia, there is a kind of folk art - bang drum. In ancient times, bang drum is Shennongjia mountain people in order to drive away wild animals, to protect the crops from damage to a kind of percussion. Later, the mountain people used it to convey love and to pass the loneliness of the long night. Later on, the bangdrum evolved into a musical instrument for people to beat their emotions and render the atmosphere on festive days. The song The Drums of Shennongjia describes how to drive away wild animals by playing the drums.
From the northwest corner of Hubei Province, we turn to the northeast corner, where there is the famous Dabie Mountain. The Dabie Mountains are not unique to Hubei Province, but are at the junction of three provinces, Ezhou, Henan and Anhui.
The entire Dabie Mountain stretches about 380 kilometers east to west and 175 kilometers wide north to south, involving 36 counties and an area of nearly 100,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to Zhejiang Province so large. Because of the vast area, coupled with high mountains, dense forests, in the war years is very suitable for the "guerrilla" here. During the period of the Land Revolution, the EYAW Soviet Area was second only to the Central Soviet Area in Gannan and western Fujian, after which the strategic transfer began here, in addition to the Fourth Front Army, there is also the Red 25th Army, which is two of the four teams. By the time of the liberation war, Liu Deng army waved thousands of miles to leap into the Dabie Mountains, equivalent to the prelude to the liberation war.
I myself have at least four times by car across the Dabie Mountains, not business, not tourism, purely to return home to visit relatives to and from this. In those days, there were long-distance buses from my home county directly to Shanghai, and I only had to walk a dozen miles from my hometown to wait on a main road, and I could get to Shanghai in 24 hours. As long as the car, I do not have to turn around on the road, tired is a little tired, but figure a convenient. All the way up, over the Wuhan City of Huangpi, then Hubei Macheng, and then Anhui Jinzhai, Henan Gushi, Anhui Huoqiu, and then to Hefei, Anhui Province, where there are some sections are located in the Dabie Mountains. Jinzhai is the "General County", Macheng and Huang'an (now called "Hong'an") is the "Huangma Uprising" place. To Hefei, basically the equivalent of halfway through. Coincidentally, after passing through here, either after nightfall until late at night, or through the night ushered in the morning dew .
The Dabie Mountain area is so vast that in addition to the exceptionally rich "red culture", there are many human and natural landscapes. Dabie Mountain is China's tea, chestnuts, sweet persimmons of the main producing areas, such as six Ann melon slice, small hanging wine, Huoshan yellow teeth, Xinyang Mao Jian, Xinyang red tea, Han green, Yuexi Cuilan, etc. are well-known varieties. Among them, Hubei Province, Yingshan County, the annual output of tea ranks third in the country, Luotian County, the annual output of chestnut for the country's first. Previously, there is a college classmate is Luotian, and his brother-in-law in Shanghai to work for many years, from the Yingshan County, there is this relationship, the two places are no stranger.
In addition, the Dabie Mountain region of Hubei Hong'an Tiantai Mountain, Xishui Triangle Mountain, Macheng Turtle Peak Mountain, Thin Knife Peak Forest Park, Yingshan Peach Blossom Rush, Hubei Luotian Paradise Walled City ...... are all more fun places. Do not think that the old district land barren on nothing to see, in fact, it is precisely these places, retained a relatively intact charming scenery, "Goodbye Dabie Mountain" sung here beautiful landscapes and simple townspeople.
Leaving the Dabie Mountains, we went further west to see the Qingjiang River, which runs between Enshi and Yichang. In the Hubei section of the Yangtze River basin, there are quite a few tributaries, the largest of which is the Han River or Han Shui, which I mentioned repeatedly in my introduction to our Jianghan Plain, a river I traveled to and from Shanghai and my hometown, and swam in the Han River near Wuhan near the Yangtze River.
The second tributary on the list is the Qing River, but it doesn't seem to be well known and I don't know much about it. You can read about it in detail in "The Most Beautiful Scenery in the Hometown" and "A Book to Witness Friendship", which you can move to read. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the picturesque scenery along the way, or the mouth-watering food, which seems to give you the urge to go on a trip.
I was thinking, you said the Qingjiang River is likely to be just a part of the neighboring Yichang, because the Qingjiang River is 423 kilometers long, if you follow Li Bai wrote from Baidi City to Jiangling "thousands of miles of Jiangling one day," the hyperbole, the Qingjiang River, roughly, can be called "thousands of miles of Qingjiang River. "The. In fact, the Qingjiang River flows through Lichuan, Enshi, Xuanen, Jianshi, Badong, Changyang, Yidu and other seven counties and cities, in Yidu into the Yangtze River rolling east, most of the visible watershed is in Enshi, not Yichang.
Qingjiang River is called "Yishui", it is not difficult to understand, because the basin up and down and around the traditional settlement of the Tujia forefathers - the Ba people. As for being crowned "Qingjiang" - "water color clear ten feet, people see its clarity" - I guess it may be mainly I guess it may be mainly wide and sparsely populated, the relationship between man and nature is more harmonious, vegetation protection is better, less soil erosion, so the "mountain clear" before the "water show".
So many years, I found a phenomenon, where minority areas, in terms of natural scenery, often retained the purest and most beautiful ecology, coupled with the unique culture constructed by the minority wind charm, are well worth a look. Qingjiang River Basin is the traditional settlement of the Tujia and Miao, forming the so-called 800-mile "Qingjiang River Gallery", just like Guilin's "Ten Mile Promenade", which is supposed to hide a lot of beauty that is not yet known to the people***. When I was a child, our production team has a family, the hostess is the Qingjiang River Basin near the people of Yuanan County, and later moved his family to Yuanan; in addition, I have a cousin, when I was young, also married to Yuanan County. At that time, only know that Yuanan County produces thicker than the washbasin of pine wood, I did not expect them to live in this full of poetry and picturesque adjoining the Qingjiang River Basin.
I guess, the Qingjiang River is also by a number of small streams and rivers converge into, otherwise, "Qingjiang River put rows" how the song will be a hundred feet of cliffs under the streams put rows written as Thousand Island Lake, Li River puts rows of that kind of fascinating?
Just now we saw the lyrics in the "Qingjiang River" in the word "youngest sister", in fact, the word "youngest sister" directly in the title of the song, which is probably the most recognizable song "youngest sister living in the thirteen cottages.
How can there be so many "youngest sister"? I didn't test, and I'm too lazy to ask. I think, in our Hubei area, "the youngest" refers to the youngest, so the "youngest sister" is "little sister", and this "little sister" in the current context. "in the current context is not necessarily small age or even the youngest, but is a reflection of the relationship between the proximity of a rhetoric, just like the Northeast people used to use "big brother" "big sister" "old sister" and other names, it is a general rather than a specific reference to the Tujia "youngest sister" is also as Mongolian encountered the rich and strong male called "Bartel", female called "The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
At first, I felt uncomfortable listening to this song, but then I thought, since it is sung by the "youngest sister", it should be passionate, free and easy. And, the new generation of women's subjectivity can be manifested, and only this flavor can show the equality of men and women.
There is also a nagging question that was previously unanswered, that is, "the youngest sister living in the thirteen cottages" is a folk song in Hubei, and the real "thirteen cottages" is not in Hubei, but in the neighboring Hubei, but is located in the town of Qianjiang District, Chongqing Qianjiang Xiaonanhai. This Tujia thirteen cottage, is a 4A scenic area, an area of 6.5 square kilometers, there are 13 typical Tujia compound, here living in more than 200 households of nearly 1,000 Tujia people. Later figured out that the thirteen cottages in Hubei Xianfeng County on the edge, perhaps for the Tujia people living together, the thirteen cottages have become their **** with the historical memory and external representation of a symbol only. Because they are neighbors, Qianjiang District in Chongqing and Xianfeng County in Hubei Province interact frequently, and often jointly carry out mountain song contests.
We've talked about one east and one west, so let's look at the center, which is my hometown, the Jianghan Plain. Jianghan Plain west from Yichang's Zhijiang, east to Wuhan City, north to Zhongxiang City, south and Dongting Lake Plain connected, an area of 4 . More than 60,000 square kilometers, mainly in Jingzhou City, including Jingzhou District, Shasha City, Jiangling County, Public Security County, Jianli City, Shishou City, Honghu City, Songzi City, and the original belongs to the Jingzhou area is now part of the provincial jurisdiction of Xiantao City, Qianjiang City, Tianmen City, as well as now under the jurisdiction of the Jingmen City of Jingshan City, Zhongxiang City, plus the radiation surrounding the area of Caidian District, Hancheng City, Yingcheng City, Shayang County, Zhijiang City, Yicheng City and other areas. Among them, the more typical are Honghu, Jianli, Xiantao, Qianjiang, Tianmen.
Jianghan Plain also has a lot of folk songs, I said in the "song in the years of the sixth: I like to "play" a few songs "," Honghu Lake water wave wave " is a folk song. There are many kinds of folk songs in the Jingchu land, including field songs, trumpets, mountain songs, love songs, lamp songs, custom songs and dozens of other songs, which are very rich in content. In the Jianghan Plain, the average altitude is about 27 meters above sea level, and there are still big differences in language and customs between the surrounding mountainous areas, especially in the areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, so there are also differences in folk songs. In the Jianghan Plain, it is not mountain songs, but "field songs", which are very rich in themes, such as grass-gathering songs, wheat-beating songs, water-carrying songs, rice-planting songs, grass-robbing songs, etc. In addition, it is not like the folk songs of West Hubei. In addition, it is not like the Eshi mountain song as high-pitched, turning, elegant, loud and clear.
In the Jianghan Plain, folk songs are very rich in content, which can be roughly divided into eight kinds, namely: horn, field songs, ditties, lamp songs, custom songs, children's songs, revolutionary history ballads, new folk songs. Among them, the horn is a special favorite when I was a child, such as playing the horn, playing the wheat horn, carrying the horn, pulling the fiber horn, squeezing oil horn, etc., especially playing the horn is more common. When I was a child, who built a house or do the harvest field, we need to hit the ram, usually lifting the ram, very few are flying ram. Playing rams with four people, eight people, ten people, the lead singer is usually a little stuttering by the usual speakers Wang surnamed uncle outline, usually he does not speak well, but playing rams lead singing is very coherent, and high, pleasing to the ear, in the quiet of the night sky seems extremely melodious, melodious .
Tianmenmen City's "Happy Song" is a folk song with a certain popularity in the Jianghan Plain. Tianmen City is also the place where I must go back to my hometown, whether by car or by train. This place was not well known, but because of the two high-speed rail station station name of the misplaced famous, "Tianmen South Station" close to the founder of not too big meters and the famous singer Cai Qin's hometown Xiantao City (Note: due to the history of Xiantao City and the city of Honghu used to belong to the same Shinyang, it is said that Cai Qin's ancestral home is Shinyang is not true, but belongs to the present-day Honghu City), and "Xiantao West", "Happy Song" is a folk song in the Jianghan Plain, has a certain degree of popularity. (Note: Since Xiantao and Honghu used to belong to Shinyang, it is said that Cai Qin's ancestry is from Shinyang, but belongs to present-day Honghu. In this way, singing "happy song" to arrive at these two stations, is not "happy".
There is a Hubei folk song that we have to say, that is, "Longboat tune". That's because it became one of the most recognizable Hubei folk songs in the 1980s, when it was sung by Liz Xie and Wang Jieshi, and quickly became a national hit.
The hometown of Longboat Song is Lichuan, a city below Enshi. Some years ago, many people from Shanghai bought houses in Enshi, and many of them bought houses in Lichuan City. On the one hand, the capital of Enshi as a prefecture-level city and Lichuan as a county-level city are both on the high-speed railway line from Shanghai to Chongqing; on the other hand, the altitude of about 2,000 meters above sea level here is very suitable for summer vacation. Of course, the fact that a square foot was cheaper at more than 3,000 yuan some years ago is also a factor. There is another factor - which many people do not pay attention to - is that Enshi itself is "everywhere is beautiful", and with Enshi connected to the west of Xiangxi, Chongqing's eastern Shizhu County, Qianjiang District in the east of Chongqing, and northern Guizhou, etc., are also good places for tourism, especially summer tourism and summer vacation. Like Xiangxi because of Zhangjiajie, phoenix ancient city, etc. developed, the popularity is quite high, many people tend to rush, and Enshi is still not yet developed virgin land.
Including Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou junction of this area is mainly Tujia, Miao ethnic settlement, and is full of mountains and valleys, rivers and densely populated, beautiful mountains and water.
Finally, let's talk about the Enshi folk song "Six Mouths of Tea". This song is also very well-known, sounds, very lively and cheerful, without losing a little humor.
In fact, the Jiangling County on the Jianghan Plain, which we mentioned earlier, has a song called "Ten Bowls of Wine" which is earlier than the song "Six Mouths of Tea", but unfortunately it has not done much promotion, and is now a little bit to be slowly lost.
If the promotion, Enshi has so rich tourism resources, and outsiders do not know, even with the Wuhan City, Hubei Province, people to go there home ownership, tourism is not much. Years ago, in Shanghai, there was a "Tujia bakery", is from Enshi, do not know what the reason is unknown, the streets and alleys are full of Shandong pancakes.
The water of Qingjiang River is definitely clear, and the tea burned by it is definitely sweet and delicious. Inviting guests to drink tea is certainly a way of hospitality. The problem is to attract more guests to come .
