He's dead. Why is China singing?

Where is the source of sadness and joy in China?

Funeral music is a kind of sad music dedicated to funeral or mourning. Nowadays, there are different kinds of sadness and joy in the world. So where does China's current "sadness" come from?

According to textual research, it was originally adapted from a folk song collected by Yan 'an musicians Amber, Kyle, Shi and others in Ansai area in the early 1940s and recorded by Amber. 1942, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to bury Liu Zhidan's coffin in his hometown-Baoan County, which is now Zhidan County, Shaanxi Province. At the meeting of Liu Zhidan, the people's public sacrifice in northern Shaanxi, Amber sang this song for the first time, which was played by the band "Lu Yi" and named "Public Sacrifice Liu Zhidan". After the founding of New China, Luo Lang, the head of the first military orchestra in New China, harmoniously adapted this piece for the needs of national etiquette, so that he used this sad music. It uses a low and slow rhythm to express the sad atmosphere. (Xiao Yuan)

Many people think that China's funeral music is imported, but this is actually a misunderstanding. The funeral music popular in China now is an authentic China product. Because of its touching effect, many foreigners also play China's funeral music. So, when did China's funeral music come into being? -

1936 In April, Comrade Liu Zhidan led the anti-Japanese vanguard of the Red Army of Chinese workers and peasants to cross the Yellow River eastward, preparing to set sail for Hebei to directly fight against the Japanese invaders. I was stopped by Kuomintang troops on the way. In the battle of Sanjiao Town, Zhongyang County, Shanxi Province, Comrade Liu Zhidan died unfortunately. 1942, the central government decided to move Liu Zhidan's coffin to his hometown, Baoan County, Shaanxi Province (now Zhidan County) for burial. The band of Lu Xun Art College in Yan 'an undertook the task of playing music for touching souls. The folk music research group consists of Kyle, Amber, Zhang Lu, Liu Chi, Guan Hetong and others. Well-known folk brand songs, folk songs "Embroidered Pocket" and "Pearl Rolling Door" adapted to the atmosphere at that time and the slow pace of progress. The music they played was much slower than the original folk songs, so they were adapted for the band to play. During the whole process, Chinese and western musical instruments were used along the way. Since then, this kind of funeral music has gradually spread, and more and more tapes of funeral music have been recorded, covering urban and rural areas. The success of the creation of funeral music has added a solemn atmosphere to the already heavy funeral, and the bereaved have more sincerely entrusted their grief for their loved ones.
