What does backing tune mean?

Guoshan tune is one of the main singing tunes of Tianjin local tune. It was originally a minor tune sung a cappella by shoe repairmen when they were resting and entertaining themselves with their backs against the gable wall.

Gradually, the performance form is one or two people standing on the ziban and singing, and another person playing the big sanxian and sihu accompaniment. It has folk tunes with popular words, high tone, mellow charm and rich local flavor. Kaoshan tune originated from the seasonal ditties since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has been sung by boatmen, porters, handicraftsmen and rickshaw pullers in the Tianjin dock area since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Professional actors began to appear in the early 20th century. The first one to appear on stage was Beijing Yun Dagu actress Zhao Baocui, followed by famous actors such as Gao Wugu, Qin Cuihong, Zhao Xiaofu, and Jiang Ershun.

Guoshan tune is one of the main singing tunes of Tianjin Shidiao, and it is also one of the four main tunes of Erren Zhuan.

In Northeast China, Kaoshan tune is a traditional folk music form, while Errenzhuan is a folk art performance with local characteristics. The relationship between the two is mainly reflected in music and performance. The melody of Guoshan tune is simple and beautiful, which provides rich musical materials for Errenzhuan's performance. At the same time, the variety of performance forms of Errenzhuan also provides more expression techniques for singing in Guangshan tune.

Therefore, it can be said that there is a certain interaction and integration between Guoshan Diao and Erren Zhuan, which have simultaneously enriched the folk art in Northeast China.

Errenzhuan is rooted in the folk culture of Northeast China, so its performance lines contain some rural characteristics and vulgarity. However, the content of Errenzhuan is not mainly vulgar and sour. Many of the lyrics of Errenzhuan are related to "Pingju Opera" and "Northeast China". "Dagu" and "Lotus Falling" are connected. This phenomenon lasted until the establishment of Jilin Provincial Folk Art Troupe in 1980. Its predecessor was the Second Troupe of Jilin Provincial Ji Opera Troupe.
