Gusu scenery characteristics

The scenery of Gusu has the feminine characteristics of multi-tone, multi-skill and continuity.

Scenery of Gusu is a folk song in Jiangsu Province, a set of Jiangnan folk tunes, also known as Dajiu Lianhuan, and a chorus of five Jiangnan tunes, such as Wharf Tune, Manjianghong, Liuhua Liuduan Tune, coloratura and Xiangjiang Wave Tune. The lyrics consist of four quotes and a complete passage "Spending December".

The dock song used in the introduction is also called flower arranging song. From 1 month to April, the song of Man Jiang Hong was used, that is, the song of "Breaking the Bridge". This tune is named after the structural mode of overlapping bridges and broken connections, and spreads all over the country. May is used for "six flowers and six paragraphs", and June, July and August are used for "flowers".

The melodies of the five minor songs all have a strong Jiangnan style, and with the coherence of the lyrics, they have always maintained their own unity and integrity.

The divertimento also compares the tones of different tunes, using tone sandhi between the third and fourth tones, and using different scale forms between the first, third and fifth tones and the second and fourth tones, with the former being pentatonic and the latter being six or seven scales. Use different modes between I, II, V and III and IV. The former is Gong mode and the latter is Zheng mode.

All these changes are natural and unconscious. On the whole, all the tunes are unified, except for some minor changes. The two complement each other and are natural, making the originally scattered pearls into a dazzling bead chain.
