yuefu folk songs

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the influx of ethnic minorities led the Central Plains Dynasty to absorb a large number of western cultures, and the exchange of music and culture was mainly played by foreign music and culture.

Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties ||||| In the 4th century A.D., the Western Jin Dynasty perished, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty built its capital and built its health, but the north was still in a situation of frequent wars in sixteen countries. With the southward movement of the national political center, the northern music culture has also flowed into the south of the Yangtze River, combining with the chorus, harmony Daqu and folk music in the south of the Yangtze River, resulting in a new music style and form-"Shang Qing Le", that is, Yuefu folk songs.

Harmony Song: Originally a folk song of Han Dynasty, it was arranged by Yuefu and accompanied by orchestral instruments. The so-called "silk and bamboo are more harmonious, and people who hold festivals sing". Therefore, it was named after development, and it created a song and dance form with complicated structure, called "Harmony Daqu", which was divided into three parts: gorgeous, harmonious and chaotic.

Shang Qing Music: Xianghe songs and Xianghe Daqu of Han and Wei Dynasties were preserved in Yuefu in the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At this time, Wu Ge and Xiqu have sprung up suddenly among the people, so they are called "Wu Ge in the south of the Yangtze River and the voice of Jingchu in the west", which is always called Shang Qing music.

Drum music: During the Qin and Han Dynasties, northern music was introduced into the Central Plains, and was gradually used for court banquets in combination with Han folk music.

The Han, Wei and Six Dynasties were famous for Yuefu folk songs. Yuefu was originally a music institution established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was used to train musicians, formulate scores and collect lyrics, and collected a large number of folk songs. Later Yuefu became a poem with music. Fifty or sixty folk songs of Han Yuefu preserved today truly reflect the miserable life of the lower classes.

Yuefu is a court institution established by the feudal dynasty in Han Dynasty to manage music. Yuefu originated in the Qin Dynasty, and the name Yuefu was adopted in the Han Dynasty. In 1 12 BC, Yuefu was formally established in the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Yuefu was mainly in charge of music, supervised the collection of folk songs from all over the country, and matched it with music to facilitate singing at court banquets or sacrifices. Poems collected and sung by Yuefu are called Yuefu poems.

According to Records of Rites and Music in the History of Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wudi was in power, there was an organization that collected local ballads, arranged and made music scores, called Yuefu. Later, people called the poems collected and created by this institution Yuefu Poetry, or Yuefu for short. By the Tang Dynasty, although the scores of these poems had long been lost, this form followed, becoming a poetic genre with no strict meter and close to five or seven words.

The expansion and development of Yuefu in the Western Han Dynasty was in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and by the end of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Yuefu had more than 800 employees and became a large-scale music institution. More than 100 years from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Cheng was the heyday of Yuefu. Emperor Ai ascended the throne, ordered the dismissal of Yuefu officials, greatly reduced Yuefu personnel, and placed the rest under the jurisdiction of the order. Since then, there has been no Yuefu organizational system in the Han Dynasty.
