Where are our folk songs
The Chinese say, the inadequacy of words, song of the; song inadequate, dance of the. I understand that, but this song is it, must have meant to say unable to speak or barely say it is not energetic things.
Began two years ago, my interest shifted to folk singing in antiphonal style will come up. Why? I feel it, folk songs, folk customs of a local focus on performance; folk songs where the lyrics directly from the language of the common people, it sounds kind gratification; and finally, a folk song is also mostly love songs.
My hometown in the Yangtze River, I can not remember what his hometown folk songs, virtually none.
Think we Chinese people is not the world's best music and dance cells nation. If according to Nietzsche's point of view, then we can say that Han Chinese are particularly miserable nation.
A child hearing a lot of revolutionary songs such as "Red Blossoms", which is a folk style, but now I know that in fact that's not true folk songs. Such as "Why Are the Flowers So Red," and so on.
The film "Third Sister Liu" on the song, is not yet the real folk music. I have two years ago in Yangshuo, rented a large banyan village raft, cis Yulong River rafting down, half-way to ask those men sing a genuine folk songs, he sang not.
Once with a Korean right drink, the banquet of that friendship, invited him to come to a "Arirang", someone opens his mouth to sing, mesmerizing. After singing asked me what the Chinese like this song? I really can not think of a moment, think also, "East is Red" to have a ratio. However, since the elderly, after lying in crystal coffin, but this song is no one sang. "East is Red" While taking notes on the folk songs, but it can not be considered a true folk songs.
I told the Korean people, we have a vast territory of China, dialects vary widely and, therefore, there is no national movement of folk songs. Notwithstanding this, however, folk music from around the around, and so on and so forth.
Among the folk songs, my favorite is the northern Shaanxi folk songs. I would like to or with my people who was born in the sixties revolutionary songs you hear a lot about? Not exactly. From the emotional sense, that area is the birthplace of our ancestors; listen to that melody, then sing out the word and tells the people soul-stirring ah! I remember "blue" at the end of the song? "You know, the world is a few dozens of the Yellow River, forming the child's cry ------。"
Love Song also nicely ah, "instituted a home to a famous family, lived in Suide Sanshi Li Pu Cun, Si Meizi fell in love with three brothers, he is a dual Zhixin Ren."
But I think in addition to the above factors, I like to listen to the songs of northern Shaanxi, more of a feel kind of miserable. This is simply to live in this land of the living conditions of the portrayal. I often think what a miserable folk songs, the people there are suffering more deeply.
We are running out of the folk songs, the digging of the well to preserve and develop the China Everbright's, but this really what people are really not easy to find.
Last year I in Xi'an, a friend invited me to eat cereals in the Northwest, listening to those restaurants put melody really Misi individuals. Banquet is not loose, I will say goodbye tomorrow to go, we hurry to select a few dishes, but traveled the streets, looking for a few real folk CD or VCD, is not find. In East Street, Xi'an, one is said to be the greatest music city, will not buy. Finally she only took two engage in a small troupe of Shaanxi opera VCD. Is not heard of anyone to a recording singers do? Not be found, I did not.
Two years ago in December, I go to visit southern Guangdong Province with disc Wang Yao's Day playing songs together, Tingna festival on the music and songs, really nicely, but after the Yao Autonomous County in the small town, that is not found in this area music CDs, but also strange.
To point beside the point bar. Said that the folk music heritage of our ancestors left behind few, that also deserve to forget. Let things that rock and roll bar, according to my understanding, should be as folk rock, like be able to truly reflect the people's true feelings, right. 咱China has so many young people, more than anything else, it is also less depressed, and depression咱ah? Times change so quickly, this is supposed to create the golden age of rock and roll that we ah. But you look at us, apart from those few people before, as well as who can listen to the song?
Otherwise to-point pop music bar, can be said to Cui Jian, who was busy crackdown, I was at his head really. Repeating a sound can not succeed, but also sing, what kind of song ah!
