lyrics

Left-handed gong and right-handed drum

Singing with gongs and drums in hand

I can't sing other songs.

Can only sing a Fengyang song

Fengyang sings, eyah, eyah, ouch.

Two-party parties are drifting.

Two-party parties are drifting.

There are children floating, there are children floating.

You must float, you must float, you must float.

My son is on cloud nine.

Fengyang Flower Drum in Anhui Qu.

Formed on both sides of Huaihe River in Anhui Province. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Fengyang area was a perennial disaster area with "three years of bad water, three years of drought and three years of locust plague". Every autumn, groups of women go out to sing and beg. At the same time, there are also professional artists who live in various places and sing. The article Fengyang Beggar in Zhao Yi's Jade Cong Kao in Qing Dynasty wrote: "Every year, Fengyang people will come to every county in the south of the Yangtze River, men and women, old and young, and they will beg in the village until February and March of the following year." At that time, the singers of Fengyang Huagu were mostly women, and they often sang in pairs. One wears a waist drum and the other carries a dish-shaped gong, which is called the flower drum girl. When singing, two people usually sit on the bench and sing, beating gongs and drums between paragraphs, without string accompaniment. Later, a double drum was developed to replace the thin waist drum, that is, the singer held a small drum in his left hand and hit the drum with a double drum arrow in his right hand. Artists of ancient paintings brought back a variety of folk songs and music from all over the world, which gradually enriched the vocal cavity of Fengyang ancient paintings and evolved various forms of singing and dancing, but all of them were based on the traditional ancient painting tune. The original lyrics are: "Say Fengyang, pour Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place;" Since the emergence of Emperor Zhu, there have been nine famines in ten years! Big families sell mules and horses, small families sell children, and slave families have no children to sell. "Legend has it that this lyric was sung after Li Zicheng rebels captured Fengyang, which means to mobilize the poor peasants to rise up, so it has been passed down from generation to generation. Fengyang Flower Drum is spread in many areas in the north and south, which has a certain influence on local folk art in terms of tunes and performance forms. Fengyang ancient paintings have no long traditional bibliography, and their singing content is mostly love stories. Singing is relatively free, keywords can be repeated, and sometimes even spoken and sung.
