What are the folk tunes in Anhui?

Anhui has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. There are beautiful and majestic Huangshan Mountain in the south and Tianzhu Mountain in the west where the Yangtze River flows eastward and the Huaihe River runs parallel. Anhui people have lived and worked here for generations and created a lot of beautiful folk songs. Anhui folk songs are located in the middle of the Yellow River culture and the Yangtze River culture, which are transitional in language, customs and climate. Therefore, they are generally rich in the musical characteristics of the coexistence and compatibility of North and South styles. Anhui has a vast territory, and people from all over the country have great differences in language, life and customs. According to geographical distribution, it can be divided into five color zones.

Folk songs in northern Anhui are rough, simple and colorful. For example, Su Xian and Fuyang, because they are located in Huaibei, have the characteristics of Central Plains culture in culture and language, and are permeated with Chu culture and Wu culture. Folk songs are bold and heroic in style, steady in rhythm and ups and downs in melody. Representative works include Picking Pomegranates and Several Bends of the Yellow River on the Ground.

Ancient painting is a folk song and dance in China, which was recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was developed by farmers beating drums and singing when transplanting rice seedlings in the field. The form of performance is a man and a woman. The man knocks a small gong, and the woman plays a small ancient painting, singing and dancing, and sometimes accompanied by musical instruments. The styles and tunes of flower drums vary from place to place.
