Xinjin Folk Tales Part II

In the early years, Pulandian called Marco Polo Shop, why was it renamed Pulandian There is also a story here.

Legend has it that during the Guangxu period, Song Qing, the old marshal, was ordered to guard Lushunkou. One night, he led the eight banners to Marco Polo Shop and ordered to spend the night here. At that time, the Marco Polo Shop, is a large meadow, sparsely populated, there are not a few businesses, only a family name Li opened a guest house, the scene is very depressed. Song Qing saw no other place to live, lived in the Li family inn. The company's business is small and can accommodate up to eighty people, so a large number of soldiers have no place to live, so they have to sleep in the open ground.

It was the first month of the year, the big north wind a monstrous, the day crunching cold, the soldiers can not stand the cold, on the open whining. A soldier, see the door of the inn posted a couplet, the banner is "universal celebration" on the "hum" said: "This couplet is well written, universal celebration! This place, not even a place to live, cold days sleeping in the open ground to freeze, but also the universal celebration!" Said, a hand pull down the couplet, tore a shattered. What the soldier said was heard by Song Qing. He pondered, but also right, this place is the main traffic road, passers-by, should open more stores. So, he called the shopkeeper, said to change the name of the store, to the couplet "universal celebration" of the word for the first, the orchid store of the orchid in the middle of the Li family store for the end of the word, the store of the orchid store changed to Puran store. This is how Pulandian came to be.

There are people who say, early Li Jia Inn also woven colander, so that some of the car to live in the store to feed the livestock, often, people call Li Jia Inn for the colander store. Called to call, called into the Plain Shop. In any case, this is just a legend. Today's Pulandian, has undergone radical changes, skyscrapers rising, factories, stores and restaurants one by one, dozens of hotels and guest houses, is a neat and prosperous town.

Shinjin Folk Tales Part III

Liu Linhui, female, was born in 1960. She is one of the leading singers of Xinjin folk songs, and has participated in the excavation, protection and adaptation of a large number of Xinjin folk songs under the tutelage of folk artist Wang Mingzhi. She sang "I am a commune Breeder", "bride price", "flowers bloom in four seasons", "shoelace", "selling vegetables", "go to my mother's home", "Biliuhe small singing" and other works very popular with the audience.

?

A few days ago, in Pulandian City, Vanke Harbour City district, listening to the 55-year-old Liu Lin Hui sang the song "I am a commune breeder", a person into the distant past, can feel the passion of the years left a deep imprint.

This is one of the masterpieces of the 1950s and 1960s Xinjin folk songs, and the singer Liu Linhui is the Liaoning intangible cultural heritage of Dalian Xinjin folk songs heritage, one of the most active Xinjin folk songs today, she sang for nearly 40 years of Xinjin folk songs, through her story, can let us on the heritage of the Xinjin folk songs, there is a new understanding.

Learning the art

Started performing on stage at the age of 8

Xinjin folk songs is a kind of original song art with a long history, although as the predecessor of Pulandian City, Xinjin County was only set up in 1945, the word of mouth proves that the history of Xinjin folk songs can be traced back to a thousand years. Some people say that Li Shimin's eastern campaign was born, and according to the "Xinjin County Records", the Qing Shunzhi years, the court recruited people to reclaim the land, the Liaonan region's economic prosperity, the population densely populated, towns and cities increased, and the culture and entertainment flourished. The labor ditties of the working people gradually formed the repertoire with a fixed style and could be widely sung. As a cultural treasure of Liaonan, Xinjin Folk Songs were produced in Pulandian, a lotus city, and spread in Dalian, affecting the Northeast and even the whole country, and some of its repertoire has been selected as one of China's Centennial Classics. Some of its repertoire has been selected as one of the Chinese Recorded Classics of the Century. Some of its repertoire has been selected as one of the "Centennial Classics of Chinese Recordings", honored with the International Outstanding Folk Song Award, and included in the Asia-Pacific Regional Music Teaching Materials by UNESCO. And for the active in the new gold folk song stage Liu Linhui, heritage is a matter of chance, her learning and promotion of the art of the new gold folk song, are carried out in the folk, and this is the original art of freshness of the roots.

? In this way, I have been a member of the propaganda team in elementary and junior high school, and I love to sing folk songs. 16 years old, by chance, I learned a song called "I am a Commune Breeder", which has a completely different tune from the general folk songs, and the content of the lyrics is also very storytelling. This was my first contact with a Shinkin folk song, and I fell in love with it. Because I loved it so much, I got up every morning for several years and practiced my voice, put in a lot of hard work, and finally became one of the top singers of Xinjin folk songs.

Now, to summarize, Xinjin folk songs are mainly in the category of minor key rice-planting songs, single drum music, shadow music, labor songs, ancient songs, and other sub-items. Songs are generally short and concise, most of the singing belongs to the high-pitched, loud and clear, bright and fast major modes, but there is also a considerable part of the minor modes, showing humor, fun, wit and other emotions. Most of the songs are about things around us, personal things, basically belonging to the narrative category, storytelling, performance is very vivid. So learning Xinjin folk songs is not a quick fix in a day or two, nor is it something you can learn from a science class textbook.

In fact, I had a very good opportunity to learn Xinjin folk songs. 16 years old, I attended the Xinjin County Cultural Center Yangge folk song class, and met Mr. Lv Degui, who is an expert in the study and organization of Xinjin folk songs. After listening to my singing, he thought that I was very talented in singing Xinjin folk songs and could specialize in this direction. At the end of the 1970s, the Xinjin County Cultural Center organized an in-depth excavation of Xinjin folk songs in the countryside, and Mr. Lu Degui and I both went there. It was during this process that I ran into Wang Mingzhi, a folk artist who sang Xinjin folk songs, and worshipped him as a teacher, and he is the earlier inheritor of Xinjin folk song singers that has been documented.

I studied under Wang Mingzhi, who learned Xinjin folk songs from his cousin Wang Yude, who played the Taiping drum when he was young, and Zhao Chuandi, a folk artist from Tianjiacun who sang the Northeast drum, who drew the essence of Xinjin folk songs from the two masters and taught them to me. Digging up the roots, Zhao Chuan Di learned his singing skills from his father, who in turn learned them from an old widowed artist in Fuzhou, and I can trace the roots of what I learned from my master to an estimated one hundred and sixty to seventy years ago, which is a long way back. Under my master's teaching, my singing of Xinjin folk songs has also entered a new level, and I have learned a lot and benefited a lot in my life.

Dissemination

Xinjin folk songs on the hall of elegance

Since the founding of New China, the collection and organization of Xinjin folk songs in Dalian has seen two peaks. The first peak was in the last century, the end of the 1950s and early 1960s, Dalian City, a group of artists in the cultural sector to Xinjin County and the surrounding areas, a wide range of folk artists, singers, where the collection, finishing a large number of folk songs, labor horn, single drum song and shadow singing; Xinjin County Cultural Center in Pikou organized art school, while training and excavation of Xinjin folk songs.

These activities, so that the Xinjin folk songs can be systematically collected, organized and circulated, resulting in a number of representative Xinjin folk songs, such as "Plum Blossom", "Lullaby", "River Water", "nagging five", "Guessing the flower", "I'm a breeder in the commune", and has had a wide impact in the country. Lullaby" sung by Xu Guizhu was selected as one of? China Record Centennial Classics?

The second peak was in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the Folk Song Selection Team carried out a large-scale excavation and preservation of traditional culture, especially Xinjin folk songs, and collected and recorded more than 1,000 folk songs.

At the same time, the Xinjin County Cultural Center organized Lv Degui, Jiang Fengqing, Zhang Chengzhu, Liu Linhui and others to go deep into the countryside to excavate Xinjin folk songs, and in addition to rescuing and preserving the traditional repertoire, they also adapted, created, and sang more than a dozen new folk songs, of which the more influential ones include "Returning the Bride Price," "Flowers Bloom in Four Seasons," "Tying Shoelaces," "Vegetables," "Walking to My Mother's House," and "Small Song of Biliu River. The fresh and simple Xinjin folk songs caused a sensation in the national, provincial and municipal performances, and received many favorable comments from all walks of life. And this period of Liulinhui began to help the new gold folk songs on the stage to shine.

? We went to the countryside and mining, adapted and created more than ten new Xinjin folk songs, in the 1980s in the rural singing scene, this batch of Xinjin folk songs by the audience's favorite, we are willing to listen to. Sometimes I wondered what would happen on the formal stage if the people loved to listen to these songs. The heart has been beating the drums, I do not know whether these songs can actually ascend to the hall of elegance.

In 1980, I took part in Shenyang, Brigade City workers in the cultural and artistic transfer, I sang the expression of cheerful, funny Xinjin folk song "shoelace" and "selling vegetables", and the expression of the lyrical "bride price" and "four seasons of the flowers bloomed", I did not expect the same popularity. Returning the Bride Price" is based on the ditty "Running to Sichuan", a folk song that has been excavated. The folk song "Run to Sichuan" has been circulating in the rural areas of Xinjin for a long time, its melody is gentle and beautiful, the rhythm is smooth and stretching, suitable for lyricism, fill in the new lyrics, not only retained the main theme of the original tune "Run to Sichuan", but also in some places according to the new lyrics of the content of the appropriate additions and subtractions, the girl's pre-wedding joy, the father's persuasion, as well as their own sweet and shy emotions are all expressed.

The audience welcomed our folk songs, which made me very happy. On the one hand, I felt that my efforts were recognized, and on the other hand, it also showed that Xinjin folk songs do have a very wide mass base. Since then, I have also participated in a number of provincial and municipal performances, including the 1987 Dalian City, the second young amateur singers radio and television contest made me the most impressive, until the rematch, I was very afraid, because the other singers are professional, I have no idea, I did not expect, I opened my mouth to sing, the scene actually broke out in thunderous applause, and at this time I finally breathed a sigh of relief, the Xinjin Folk Songs! The popularity of the song exceeded my expectations.

For many years, I have been singing Xinjin folk songs, participated in many performances, support me is love. One performance, my husband had to travel, my voice is still dumb, he advised me not to go, and my son is still small, said I always go to the performance will not have time to take care of my son. But I insisted on going anyway, and my husband couldn't argue with me and surrendered. Later, once, my husband live to see my performance, see the audience on my singing of new gold folk songs so favorite, so finally understand why I have to be so insistent on the show, after that, my husband are very supportive of my performance.

The charm of Xinjin folk songs is so great, how many years in the process of performance I have experienced. In the 1990s? The three to the countryside? activities, we formed a team of performers to perform frequently in the countryside, two months sang 24, some times a day singing two, full house, it can be said that the eighties and nineties of the last century is the era of folk songs extremely popular and popular. It is also a process for us Xinjin folk singers to accumulate stage singing experience and deeper learning.

Passing on the tradition

The new folk songs are also becoming increasingly popular. have become increasingly popular, and the new gold folk songs with great individuality and characteristics have also made a big splash.

In August 2006, in the CCTV organized the 12th? The youth song contest? On the traditional Xinjin folk song "plum blossom" adapted into the competition song "this year the plum blossom", killed the final. One of the masterpieces of Xinjin Folk Songs, Lullaby, is a Northeastern folk song inserted in the ending song of the nationally popular TV drama "The Homeland". Xinjin folk songs, because it has the characteristics of Northeast folk songs, which are hot, passionate, high-pitched, straight, and good at showing the bold temperament of Northeast people, and also has the characteristics of Shandong folk songs, which are simple, simple, witty, and funny, especially by the influence of Liaonan Shadow Opera, it also has the delicate, twisted, and gentle flavor, and it has a very strong expressive power. In the new era of the blossoming of literature and art, it has blossomed its charm. Of course, the development of all art forms must go through a process of inheritance in order to have a more vigorous vitality and broader prospects for development.

? I am 55 years old this year, has retired from the second grain depot in Pulandian. A few years ago, Pikou Elementary School opened a course on Xinjin folk songs, and specially invited me to teach the children to sing Xinjin folk songs, which I didn't expect to be very popular with the children. I was with them, and it reminded me of when I was a kid, learning to sing and performing on stage, and I wanted to teach them the new gold folk songs, so they could continue to sing them.

Our generation is doing quite well in terms of cultural heritage. The Xinjin folk song has been listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage and has been recommended by the provincial Department of Culture to be declared on the national intangible cultural heritage list. Our local authorities have also increased their efforts to protect and excavate Xinjin folk songs. Over the years, the government has also organized and published a special collection of Liaonan folk songs and burned CDs to protect the old performers and dig up more information and materials. In terms of education, there are several schools school-based curriculum to carry out Xinjin folk song education, such a good art, can not be cut off, should start from the children, so that they are exposed to childhood, and gradually like the art, from which to discover the appropriate inheritor.

Xinjin folk song is mainly a beautiful singing voice, moderate range, melody and calm. The songs are sung with liner notes, liner phrases, and fluttering accents, and the instruments are accompanied by traditional folk music such as the erhu. Compared with popular songs, Xinjin folk songs also have their own charm, and the singing techniques are also similar, so I can use the singing techniques of Xinjin folk songs to sing popular songs, and I also have a very good singing effect. As for myself, I will continue to sing Xinjin folk songs. But to be honest, although there have been some people who have approached me over the years to learn from me, there hasn't been too many suitable inheritors who have come along because of the requirements of perception and voice. Now, in my spare time, I will sing Xinjin folk songs to my 10-month-old granddaughter, who will be happy every time she hears them, and I would like to train her to become my heir, and I hope that my wish will be fulfilled.
