World traditional folk songs

Get up early in the morning to bask in the sun. The sun comes out happily, picks grapes, and rows of rice seedlings are in the ground.

Kangding love song is probably the most popular Sichuan folk song. 1952 China kangzang youth won the silver prize by singing "Kangding Love Song" at the Vienna World Youth Student Festival. Moreover, the only China folk song introduced by UNESCO to the whole world is Kangding Love Song.

In fact, this song was first sung freely between Tibetans and Han people in Kangding. At that time, it was not called "Kangding Love Song", but called "Happy Mountain". Happy Mountain was not called Happy Mountain at first, but called fairy mountain. An old man said that the Kangding love song they heard in Kangding when they were teenagers was like this: "On the mountain of Ma Benteng, falling clouds are shining on the doors of falling sisters. Only falling sisters can walk away. She will be a falling home and a falling person ..."

In the early 1940s, musician Wu Wenji came to Kangding to collect folk songs. He recorded and arranged the original lyrics and songs of Happy Mountain. Later, the teacher of Chongqing Qingmuguan National Conservatory of Music carefully arranged and adapted this folk song, which was later sung by Yu, a famous singer at that time, and the song went to the whole country.

lyrics

On the mountain of Ma Benteng, there is an erratic cloud.

End-to-end walking in kangding city.

The moon is curved and Kangding is a slippery city.

Li's eldest sister, good talent.

Zhang's eldest brother, I have a crush on her.

The moon is curved, so I like her.

You can see it well when you look at it.

Secondly, if you look at it leisurely, it will be a leisurely home.

The moon is curved, and it will be a wandering home.

The woman who walks in the world makes me love you.

Men who walk around the world make you walk around begging you.

The moon is curved, so you can ask for more happiness.

lyrics

When the sun came out, Raul was very happy, picked up the pole, pulled the lamp and went up the hill.

Gong in hand, axe in the mountain. I'm not afraid of tigers, leopards and wolves.

The cliff is steep, and Luo Luo is not rare. Singing, pulling the lamp, busy chopping wood.

Mountain after mountain. This mountain has been collected, and that mountain has come to yo-yo.

As long as we work hard. Don't worry about eating and talking, and don't worry about wearing yo-yos.

When does Sophora japonica blossom?

When will the Sophora flowers bloom is a classic in Sichuan folk songs. In fact, it is a traditional folk song in Yibin with a long history. Its lyrics are contained in the engraving "Sichuan Folk Songs" in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty.

According to the textual research of Yibin musician Long Houren, its tune is taken from a folk song cavity called "Divine Comedy" in Yibin area. In the past, a group of folk singers were invited to sing for weddings, burials, celebrations and worship in large rural families in southern Sichuan. After several evolutions, its content has completely got rid of the shackles of divorce, funeral, birthday celebration and offering sacrifices to the gods, and often reflects the life, thoughts and feelings of farmers with some humorous words. When Will the Sophora Flowers Bloom is a rare Sichuan folk song, which is based on the "hymn" of southern Sichuan and has been carefully carved after evolution.

The lyrics of this song are only four short sentences:

On the high mountain (yo), a tree (oh) locust tree (yo),

Deal with the railing (what) and hope Langlai (yo-yo).

Mother asked her daughter (ah), what are you looking at (yo-yo)?

I am looking forward to Sophora japonica (what) and when it will bloom (Youyou).

In a few words, the image of a clever and shy rural girl falling in love is vividly presented to us. Her words are simple and vivid, with strong local characteristics, and they sound particularly kind and sweet.

The famous Sichuan singer of the older generation always takes this hometown folk song as the "finale" when holding solo concerts in major cities across the country. Often once you start singing, you can't get off the stage without singing once or twice, which shows the infinite charm of this classic Sichuan folk song!

Pick grapes

This is a folk song in eastern Sichuan. In southwest China, compared with Yunnan-Guizhou folk songs, Sichuan folk songs have more simple characteristics of Han music. The tunes of Sichuan folk songs are quite distinctive and tenacious, especially the mountains and rivers there, which show profound cultural traditions. This poem "Picking Grapes" in East Sichuan is a typical example. It expresses the secret love of lovers implicitly and humorously, and shows the cheerful and open-minded character of Sichuanese.

lyrics

That mountain is not as high as this one, and this mountain has good grapes;

I want to pick a grape to eat. People are short and trees are tall.

That mountain is not as high as this one, and this mountain has a good pepper tree;

I want to pick a pepper and taste it. It's numb and numb.

"The land is fertile, the people are rich ... the fertile land is thousands of miles away and the accumulation is rich. This is called Tianfu. " Liu Xiang, a writer of the Han Dynasty before 2000, described Sichuan in the Warring States Policy. Since then, Sichuan has enjoyed the reputation of "Land of Abundance" in China.

Endless ethnic customs and Sichuan folk songs ... The meaning of "land of abundance" extends infinitely here.
