Guizhou folk songs

The Shui nationality originated from the ancient Baiyue clan and distributed in Sandu County of Guizhou, Huangnihe River and Gu Gan of Fuyuan County of Yunnan, Dahe and Long 'an of Yiliang County. In Chinese. China people. The original "water book" was only used by wizards for divination.

Shui folk songs can be divided into single songs, double songs, funeral songs, tune songs and curse songs according to their forms. According to its content, it can be divided into ancient songs, carols, production songs, folk songs, folk songs, wine songs, love songs and other categories. Double songs are the most distinctive form of rap in water songs. The double songs are divided into two parts: the pre-singing and the main singing. The antithesis, especially the allegorical antithesis, is very humorous, and the meaning is not directly revealed. We must try to figure it out according to the singing atmosphere and song content at that time. Double songs are mostly in the warm and solemn banquet room, and the host and guest sing opposite each other. There is also a funny bamboo tube song among the Shui people in Shuiwei Township, Rongjiang County, Guizhou Province. When singing, men and women can't meet directly, but they sing in the same room with the help of two bamboo tubes wrapped in snakeskin and with a long line in the middle. This "telephone-style" antithesis is more profound and euphemistic in expressing feelings.

The characteristics of Shui folk songs are that the tune changes little and the melody is simple, but the lyrics are constantly enriched with new contents due to time, events and people to express their feelings.
