The Shaanxi folk songs have distinctive regional characteristics: earthy, atmospheric, beautiful, earthy, majestic, and beautiful. This popular and bright enough to make it stand above the temple of the singing world, with a small tune to vent the momentum of the yellow bells and whistles.
In northern Shaanxi, people's joy, anger, sadness, happiness which emotion, can be expressed in the form of folk songs. Whether standing on the top of the mountains, or walking in the curved mountain road, or traveling in a flat river on the road, everywhere you can hear the wind drifting melodious singing. This is the folk song of northern Shaanxi. "The women are sad and cry, the men are sad and sing songs." In fact, both men and women, young and old, love folk songs in northern Shaanxi. On the Loess Plateau, there are both the low and gentle chanting of the maids of honor, and the echoing of the high songs of "stopping the voice of the goat and returning to the voice of the cow" of the younger generation. Shaanbei, is the world of folk songs, the sea of folk songs.

The ditties, mainly narrative, usually have scenes, characters, storylines, and detailed descriptions. For example, "Harming Dolls", "Visiting Sister Yu", "Sending a Lover", "The Four Bowers" and "The Lower Willow Forest" are all long narrative folk songs.
Xintianyou (in the area bordering Inner Mongolia called "Shuntianyou", in the Shenmu Fugu area called "Shanqu") is a widely popular in northern Shaanxi, a folk song, the length of a relatively short, improvisational product, according to different scenarios can be freely It can be sung freely according to different situations. For example, when the villagers work in the fields, go up the mountains to herd sheep, go into the forest to cut wood, or drive donkeys to pull coal, they will let go of their voices and sing when they feel something in their hearts. The language is simple, the rhythm is obvious, the rhyme scheme is varied, and it is generally a two-stanza structure, with the upper and lower stanzas rhyming, and not rhyming every other stanza.

It fully reflects the bold character of the northern Shaanxi people. It is a two-sentence paragraph, paragraph and paragraph can be divided and can be combined, can also be independent for a song, similar to the "loose song".
Shaanxi folk songs reflect the rich content of social life. Now the popular Shaanxi folk songs, most of which were produced from the late 19th century to the 1940s, reflect the content of social change, but also the content of the "long work song", reflecting the resistance of the people of northern Shaanxi to the oppression and exploitation of the feudal unification of the class, especially the revolutionary history of the folk songs, is a batch of precious revolutionary historical data. Like the famous "When the Red Army's brother came back", "Shandandandan blossom red color", etc., is very valuable. However, among the more than 8,000 Shaanxi folk songs, such works are, after all, a minority. Most of the works reflect ordinary people and ordinary things. For example: a small daughter-in-law wants her mother's home, a big girl looking forward to getting married, the girl child fortune-telling, drummers to welcome the bride, out of the people miss their hometown, young people talk about love, couples quarrels and teasing. Also, the stonemasons with song to decorate the monotonous sound of the hammer; farmers with song to expel loneliness and sadness; drive the livestock people will be the melodious song sprinkled all over the rugged lanes; sentimental daughter-in-law with song to pour out the heart of grief. These are basically the expression of feelings. In addition, the people of northern Shaanxi also use folk songs to serve their daily lives: cargos with songs to sell, farmers with songs to pray for rain, the New Year's festivals with songs to celebrate, entertainment, men and women with songs to celebrate the wedding ceremony, drinking with songs to guessing, with songs to into the historical story, with songs to socialize, with songs to recount major historical events, men and women with songs of young people to talk about love, with songs to recount new people and new things, and even on the graves! Even the weeping at the graveside is replaced by songs. 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 it all in one place.
In the 8000 folk songs of northern Shaanxi, the works reflecting love life, marriage problems, or related to this content, accounting for 80% of all folk songs. Almost all of them are about love life and marriage. Therefore, Xin Tian You is also said to be the "ocean of love".
The most popular folk song among the people of northern Shaanxi is the love song. In the old society, young men and women could not love and marry on their own, so they had to express their dissatisfaction with the feudal marriage and the pursuit of love through songs. Due to natural conditions and other reasons, once upon a time in northern Shaanxi Province, the economy was backward, the farmers lived a hard life, the men went to the provinces in groups to give people to solicit labor, i.e., 'Go West'. Before the husband left, his wife urged, and was very touching, affectionate, lyrical color is very strong. For example, the popular "Go West":
Go on the road, you go on the big road,
Do not go on the small road.
There are a lot of people on the main road,
pulling jobs to solve their worries.
You should stay in a big store,
not in a small one.
There are a lot of thieves in small stores,
and they are worried about stealing from you.
Sleep in the center,
don't sleep on both sides.
Worry about the thieves who dig up the wall,
digging up the wall in front of you.
Drink water from the river,
not from the spring.
The snake's tail is in the spring water,
and you are worried that it will spoil you.
You have to fight for your own cigarettes,
but don't fight with others.
The green horse in the forest,
worry about the sweatshop.
......
"Going to the west mouth" of the man went away for many years not to return, the wife of the family remembered their husbands, or hand-rocking spinning wheel, rocking the side of the song, or standing in front of the door, murmuring and singing, expressing their feelings of longing for their loved ones in distant places:
The peas are in bloom, the peas are in bloom, the peas are in bloom, and the peas are in bloom.
The peas are a little bit red,
I want to sew my brother with a needle.
I miss my brother so much that I can't see him,
It's like a bitter yellow fever when you have rock candy in your mouth.
There is no water in the river to keep the fish alive,
My sister can't live without you.
A pair of lilies are flying in the sky,
and I am looking forward to seeing you again.
......
The folk songs of northern Shaanxi, which reflect local wedding customs, had different characteristics at different times in history. Three songs, "Orchid Flower", "Big Woman Wanting Man" and "I'll Find You a Good In-Law Family", all describe the way of marriage, but because of the different times, the way of marriage is also different. In "Orchid Flower", it is the old traditional way of marriage, buying and selling marriage, the new daughter-in-law has to sit in a sedan chair, and there are also "three groups of people blowing and two groups of people beating". By the time of "Big Woman Wants Han", the anti-feudal ideological sentiment has formed a trend, "big woman" dares to say and do, dares to ask her parents to get married, and the wedding has been simplified, riding a horse instead of sitting in a sedan chair. And in the song "find you a good in-laws", the heroine has been "their own ideas to take their own", the way of marriage is not the head covered, feet wearing embroidered shoes, but "riding a horse, wearing flowers", and the groom "! The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and the second time I saw it, I was in the middle of the night.
Shaanxi folk songs are close to life, reflecting the reality of life, strong emotional color, love songs especially so.
eyelashes hair think of you ah,
day and night is difficult to close ah;
eyes Ren Ren think of you ah,
tear balls difficult to collect ah;
tongue tip think of you ah,
sweet and sour bitter and spicy difficult to taste ah;
......
This song is a revelation of the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters, but this song is a description of the behavior and actions of the characters:
You want to pull my hand,
I want to kiss your mouth,
Pulling my hand and kissing my mouth,
We both go to Laosi.
The four lines of the song are easy to understand, and although the hero and heroine are very bold, their actions are natural and their emotions are easy, so it can be said that it is a masterpiece of Shaanbei.
Due to historical and natural conditions, northern Shaanxi is economically backward and culturally underdeveloped, coupled with a sparse population and decentralized living, thus, the rule of feudalism here is relatively weak. Some remote mountainous areas had once circulated the "three strange" ballad: "sand hit the wall wall does not fall, aunt married Han Han is not annoyed, johns jumped the wall dog does not bite". This is one of the spots of Shaanbei ideology.
Shaanxi folk songs are widely circulated in northern Shaanxi, Shaanxi people in general can more or less sing a few songs, when working in the fields, traveling, can be heard singing. Farming breaks, tea and dinner, people often get together to sing in turn. In addition to the natural circulation of the masses in daily life, there are two other ways of circulation: one is the circulation of folk singers and artists; the second is some customary activities in the collective or individual circulation. For example, in the activities of "going through things", welcoming and marrying, offering sacrifices, praying for the time, and rice-planting songs, all of them have to be sung. Another example is the "welcome song" in the "foot song", "walking red felt", "worship heaven and earth", "spread tent", The song of "going up to the head" and "sending off the children".

I was born in a very ordinary family in Yongping Township, Yanchuan County, Shaanxi Province. My father was a people's policeman and my mother was a doctor. My father often taught me how to sing when I was small, and he always loved to play the electronic piano and flute. Influenced by my father, I have always loved to sing and dance since I was a child. When I was in kindergarten, I was a child star who could sing and dance well! When I was in junior high school, I was disliked by my family because I was not good at studying and I loved to listen to songs. Later, because of the family can not stand the reprimand and endless cynicism on the choice of the military .......
The military is the biggest change in my life .... I met the teacher who taught me how to play the guitar and let me enter the door of music.
