Volume 1 The Search for a Thousand Years Chapter 73 Pro-Investigation of the People's Customs

The next day, Qu Yuan told Xiong Huai that the next time Xiu Mu would go outside the city to collect wind together.

Xiong Huai readily agreed......

Qu Yuan turned to be a little worried: "Your Highness, if it is too late for a day, we may not be able to return to the court meeting on time." ”

In the end, the two thought about it and discussed that they should investigate the people's situation in a few villages near Yingdu, but in case they couldn't catch up with the court meeting and the lecture society, they would first explain it to the king, the master, and the lecturer.

When he heard the actions of the two, he was a little surprised at first, but it was not surprising that he had also read Qu Yuan's works, and those who could write these poems would usually walk the streets and alleys to collect materials for writing poems.

Without waiting for Qu Yuan and Xiong Huai to ask for a one-day postponement, they expressed their support and approval: "Okay, it's a good thing to be able to check the people's customs and people's feelings, Qu Yuan's poems are very good, you two go back quickly, come back and wait to see your new poems." ”

was stunned to say this, Qu Yuan was embarrassed: "I will definitely not disappoint Mr."

On this day, the sun rises in the morning.

Qu Yuan was waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the gate of the palace early.

Seeing the carriage driving out of the palace gate, it stopped next to Qu Yuan, and dismounted Xiong Huai, who was dressed as a civilian in civilian clothes.

Xiong Huai couldn't wait to set off, waiting for Qu Yuan's next arrangement, under Qu Yuan's arrangement, the two went back to Qu Mansion first, looked for horses, and put the carriage in Qu Mansion for the time being.

Dressed lightly, after going out of the city, I saw a ride on the smoke and dust, and the two of them had gone far away in the morning sun.

Xiong Huai, as a greenhouse flower cultivated in the palace by King Chu Wei, except for occasionally following the king to hunt, the rest of the time is to listen to the Taifu lectures in Lantai, or follow the king to listen to the government. (In this era when the countries were divided and the rites collapsed, it was rare for King Huai of Chu to abide by the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, because of the persistence of the Chu people in their bones, they wanted to get rid of the title of Jing Barbarian, and became the overlord by force and Zhou etiquette during the period of King Chu Zhuang, and was recognized by the Central Plains.) )

The hometown of Chu Feng, the villagers sing, the water flows, and the fields grow are all songs, all of which are materials for them to write and create, Nanban is the birthplace of the ancestors of Chu State, Chu Feng Chu Yun is pure, and it is impossible to write good works if you can't write Chu Ci Nanban style, but Qu Yuan's understanding of Nanban is also limited to this, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to go there.

However, although it is not as good as the authentic Nanban Township near Yingdu, you can also go deep into the people, observe the people's feelings, collect folk customs, and learn folk songs, which can further enrich your cultural heritage.

This time, I didn't want to come here with Xiong Huai last time, and I didn't want to see the disaster, refugees, etc., and there would be no situation of selling children and daughters in exchange for food.

Xiong Huai came to the folk for the first time, and everything was new in his eyes. It is not strange for Qu Yuan, in the past, he would go far in the past, so he slowly also knew some folk songs that circulated among the people, such as "Dragon Boat Tune", "Huang Sijie", "Xianghe Ballad", and "Honghu Water Waves Hitting the Waves", which not only perfectly retains the charm of traditional folk songs, but also contains a straightforward atmosphere and full of emotion. At the same time, these folk songs do not pursue the beauty of sound and rhythm too much, and add a lot of rap elements to the folk songs, which are very "down-to-earth".

The two walked for a while, drinking saliva in the roadside tea shed, and there was a beautiful singing sound in the distance, Qu Yuan dismounted, and Xiong Huai also dismounted.

Qu Yuan closed his eyes and listened carefully, but he couldn't hear what he was singing. Vaguely, you can roughly hear what is being sung.

Soak the seeds and plant one hundred and one seedlings,

Seventy-seven yellow seedlings in hand,

Gu'er is pregnant and needs water,

My sister is pregnant and wants a husband,

Lang is the lifesaver of his sister. ”

Listening to it from afar, it is a duet sung by the people working in the fields, and it closely combines labor with the love of men and women.

Qu Yuan and Xiong Huai led the horses slowly by the river and drank horses by the river. A few children ran in the distance.

A few children sang exactly what he had never heard before, and came out of their young voices

The sun is shining all over the sky, babbling and heying,

I saw my sister feeding my son to the edge of the field.,Hey,

Brother Love! Hey! Sister! Hey! I'm moving the groove to the edge of the stream,

Bang la la, blah, to the edge of the stream, babble and babble!

One person has a car and a soft arm, babbling yo hey,

The two of them are happy to feed the car, hey......

Behind each folk song is a rich cultural connotation, including a moving folk tale. Reflecting the lives of the people at the moment and precipitating all their feelings, Chu Feng folk songs are deeply rooted in the fertile soil where people live, and it can be said that the roots are deep and the leaves are lush, and the flowers and fruits are abundant.

After drinking the horse, the two Qu Yuan looked around, it seemed that through the forest in front of them, they arrived at the nearest right county from Yingdu, a farmer got up early to collect firewood and returned, singing loudly, "The south wind can relieve the sorrow of our people; When the south wind blows, it can help the wealth of our people. ”

This sentence also attracted Qu Yuan's attention.

Qu Yuan introduced Xiong Huai to the harvest of his past collection.

Xiong Huai's face was full of curiosity.

When Qu Yuan saw Xiong Huai behaving like this, he also began to recall his "land of Nanying in the Chu State...... Yang Ge, Ying Zhongtian Geya. It is three voices, five voices, and the sound of Qiao, commonly known as Yang Song, which is sung by one person, and the number of people is hundreds. ”

Jing Chutian songs are very rich, including grass songs, wheat songs, car water songs (car water gongs and drums), Yangyang songs, grass songs and so on. Each song has a variety of different music cards and singing forms in different places. There are two forms of gongs and drums in the rice fields in Quanxian County: one is sung by professional singers on the edge of the field with gong and drum accompaniment, and the other is sung by the laborers themselves without gong and drum accompaniment. Another example is Tianmen and Weiyang's "Song of the Grass", which is composed of the main cavity and the trumpet, leading the crowd to harmony. The lead singer is the main voice (high tone, sad tone, playing gongs and drums), and everyone receives the trumpet (yin and yang fire, donkey crossing the bridge, etc.)

The five major tunes of Gangneung folk songs are the horn tune, the guy tune, the bang tune, the jingle tune, and the Ah Qi tune, the music is high-pitched, the rhythm is bright, the melody is beautiful, and the local characteristics are strong, and it is widely spread throughout the country.

While he was talking, Qu Yuan's eyebrows fluttered, Xiong Huai listened very seriously, and before he knew it, the two of them had come to Quan County.

There was a procession of kisses on the street, marching to the celebratory singing of the crowd, singing:

"Lang is in the high mountains and the seedlings,

Sister burned the fire in the house,

grinder push,

Basket sieve shaking,

cold water conditioning,

Lard packet,

Flame in the pot,

Burning in the stove,

Foot threshold hand on the waist,

Shouting from the mouth,

Hand and hand,

Calling my mistress to come back and eat the fire,

See if my fire bubbles or not. ”

In such folk songs, there are those that reflect the pain caused to women by the customs of the little son-in-law, and there are also those who oppose the arranged marriage of their parents and demand equality between men and women and the autonomy of marriage.

Then another folk song sounded:

"Peach blossom Xie Da wheat yellow,

Men fail to grow women,

Set up a bench and kiss your mouth,

A daughter-in-law and a mother,

When did I get you this old......

The family sending team was mighty, and an old woman chasing in the line said that this was a big family in the county, and it was said that this girl was going to marry into the city of Yingdu, so people who were a little famous in the county came.

Qu Yuan and Xiong Huai followed the team together, the team stopped in the restaurant, and after walking for half a day, it was time to rest and see where to go in the afternoon.

("Yingren Good Song" is famous all over the world.) It is reported that about in the "world of Tang Yu" produced the prototype of "Chu Song", according to legend, Emperor Shun played the five-stringed piano when he traveled south, and sang "South Wind". Today, folk songs are widely sung in the land of Jingchu, with a wide variety, including dozens of kinds of field songs, trumpets, mountain songs, love songs, lantern songs, folk songs, etc., and the content is very rich. )
