What is the rap art of Bai people? What is the big book of Bai nationality?

Big Ben is distributed around Erhai Lake, including parts of Binchuan and Eryuan counties adjacent to Dali City.

Big Ben is a kind of rap art with lyrics as the main part and Daobai as the auxiliary part. The lyrics follow the rhythm of Bai's poem "3715". One person sings with a flower fan or handkerchief, and the other is accompanied by three strings. A table and two stools constitute a performance scene. The structure of "Song Ben" explains a complete story in the way that performers sing a variety of roles themselves. Traditional songs are extremely rich, and the number of songs collected so far has reached 1 17. Its contents are mostly adapted from historical stories and folklore of Han nationality such as The Water Margin, The Three Kingdoms, Bao Gong and Liang Zhu, and also from myths and folklore of Bai nationality, such as The Story of the Dead, Burning Song Minglou, The Story of the Python and Huang's Daughter. The development of Big Ben is relatively mature in music and performing arts, forming a complete sound cavity system, which is called "three cavities, nine boards and eighteen tunes". Three schools: three-cavity general guide cavity, northern cavity and Haidong cavity; Jiuban is used to express various emotions such as joy, anger, sadness, joy, shock, fear and resentment, such as high cavity, crisp board, positive board, flat board, small crying board, crying board, yin and yang board, side board and punching board. The eighteen tones are interspersed with emotions to assist various spleen-bending tones, such as memorial tone, sparrow tone, flower spectrum tone, Taoist sentiment, sheep-grazing tone, flower tone, yin-yang tone and so on.

In the Bai rural areas around Erhai Lake, a group of semi-agricultural and semi-artistic folk artists have formed. The slack season is often invited to the countryside to sing for the masses, so there is a saying that "songs start in March every year and sing until September 9". In the eyes of Bai people, inviting artists to sing Big Ben is not only for artistic appreciation, but also for praying. The so-called "three precepts are not as good as one song", that is to say, it is better to sing three precepts than to sing Big Ben once, which shows its profound mass base. ?

This book is popular in Eryuan, Jianchuan, Lanping, Lijiang and other counties, mostly in the form of singers playing and singing themselves or one person accompanying and one person singing, with accompaniment instruments as the leading three strings. The literary form of his songs is closer to long narrative poems than big songs, and it is basically dull in the singing process. The lyrics are all in the rhythm of "37 15". Like Big Ben, it also uses the self-reports of various characters to interpret long stories. The tunes are mainly Bai nationality tune (also known as Bai Qu), Loach tune, Qingguniang tune and Gegengzi tune, which are popular in northern Dali. There are more than 30 tracks such as Hongyan Daishu, Yaoqu, Chumen tune, Huang's Women Against Diamond Sutra and Qingguniang. There are also a group of professional singers who are semi-agricultural and semi-artistic. ?
