The Story Telling of Midu Folk Songs

Midu came from distant ancient times, and experienced the noise brought by ancient post stations, the long-term campaign of military strategists and the activities of stationing troops to open up Xinjiang after the Ming Dynasty. In the historical tunnel of the deep tunnel, people's rich emotions are stranded, and countless folk songs are also precipitated. From 1980s to now, cultural departments and many folk musicians have collected and recorded many times. In the existing printed albums, people can see 284 folk songs and more than 400 lanterns. However, when these records and collectors go deep into the folk again, they will find many little-known folk songs. Three years ago, while sorting out the relics of his 80-year-old father's death, a cadre found a white cotton paper manuscript of fourteen folk songs recorded in the 30 years of the Republic of China, from which he found the folk songs minor during the Anti-Japanese War.

"The moon comes out bright and bright ..."

A-mei sings seriously, and Brother sounds sincere. This China folk song "A Stream Drips Water" comes from Midu County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and can be called "Oriental Serenade". Singing or listening, the beautiful melody is intoxicating. People familiar with Yunnan will also think of the folk proverb "Don't get a wife when you arrive in Midu".
