Shanxi folk song "Orchid Flower"

Lyrics:

I. The blue line of the green line, the blue frame of the Ying Ying's picking, gave birth to a blue flower, the real love of a person to death.

Second, the five grain boy, the field seedling boy, the only high sorghum, 13 provinces of the daughter, only the blue flower flower good.

Third, the three teams that blew, two teams to fight, leaving behind my brother in love, carried into the Zhou family.

Fourth, you have to die, you have to die early, in the morning you die, in the morning I'm blue flowers.

Fifth, with the lamb in my hand and the cake in my pocket, I risked my life to run to my brother's house.

Sixth: I saw my brother-in-law, and I couldn't stop talking about him, and we've been together for a long time.

When it comes to folk songs in northern Shaanxi, people will first think of "Orchid Flower" and other excellent folk songs. The orchid flower, according to folklore, is a woman in a village in Lin Town, Lin County, Shaanxi solid, beautiful, eager to be happy, but was forced to marry a landlord surnamed Zhou - "Monkey old man". Lan Hua Hua is not willing to be oppressed by the feudal forces, so she looks for her "love brother", and dares to declare with conviction: "We will both live and die together". The folk song not only denounces the destruction and persecution of women by the feudal marriage, but also praises Lan Hua Hua's courage to break through the feudal rituals and boldly pursues the spirit of resistance to the autonomy of marriage. The song is a great example of how the Chinese folk music can be used to describe the sadness, joy and desolation of the world, with pipes, flutes and Xiao.
