Chapter 20: Banyan's swan song "Rotten Drum"

"Plate ...... Orderliness? ”

Chu Qianyin was stunned again.

She knows what "banyan" is, it is the beat in the folk music and opera of the flower family, and it is the soul of national music and opera, and people in Guangdong Province generally call "eye" "ding", called "banding".

Among them, "plate" is equivalent to the strong beat position of the current international spectrum method, and "eye" is equivalent to the weak beat position, that is, the strongest beat in each bar is called the plate, and the rest of the beats are called eyes.

The idiom often says "one board and one eye", and the Cantonese dialect one board will be said to be "one board and one ding", and the original meaning of the word refers to two beats.

However, first of all, Su Bai's pronunciation is "banyan", not the common name of the Cantonese vernacular is "banding", which is obviously different from the meaning of "beat".

At the same time, he pointed out that this is a genre of Cantonese opera ballad singing, and it is also the same as Nanyin rap?

This touches on her knowledge blind spot, unheard of!

can take a second look at the scene, the excited expressions of the grandfathers and grandmothers, obviously, I don't know if she is still the only one......

And his grandfather stood up excitedly, stared at the big eyes and asked, "Banyan, you too?" It's the same as the Nanyin single book you sang, the original kind? ”

Su Bai nodded: "Well, there are not many works, entertainment, everyone laughs, I try to sing, everyone will listen to it, and bear with me." ”

"Good!"

"Hahaha!"

"The white lord is too powerful!"

"Ouch, it's amazing, I didn't expect him to even be able to do it!"

"Haha, oh my God, it was so worth it today!"

“......”

Now Su Bai's status is obviously completely different, after listening to his two southern sounds, he seems to be the absolute authority in the minds of the old people, a super folk music master.

No one will question anything else, unlike before, when he said that he wanted to sing Nanyin, he was immediately ridiculed, which was called a miserable one.

Now it's the opposite, as long as Su Bai says that he will, everyone thinks that it will definitely be, don't ask why, ask is two words, trust!

And hearing that Su Bai can also sing Banyan, then it is impossible for everyone not to be excited, a little understanding of this knows that Banyan was produced in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, mainly in the Qinglou and other Fengyue occasions, it is the most popular special song in the Qinglou in the old days.

As Su Bai said just now, because most of this kind of music is that kind of content and is not sung to the outside world, so now everyone can still hear the serious, original banyan works, which are less than Nanyin, I don't know how many times, belong to the swan song of the swan song.

Looking at the cheering crowd, Chu Qianyin certainly understood that this "banyan" must be another super surprise for everyone.

And deep down, there was a deep sense of frustration in her heart, and she suddenly felt that she didn't understand anything......

Listening to Su Bai's colloquial slang allusions in Cantonese, she felt that her Cantonese was at the kindergarten level, and listening to Su Bai talk about local opera was even worse, and she even began to seriously doubt whether she was a Cantonese person.

"Wait!"

After hesitating slightly, Chu Qianyin finally mustered up the courage, raised her little hand and asked weakly,

"That...... Well, can you tell us what a plate eye is? What does it have to do with Nanyin? There are others, wooden fish, dragon boats, what does it have to do with Cantonese opera, and what is the genre of Cantonese opera, I'm a little ......dizzy."

"Oh, of course, I'll help you sort it out."

Su Baixiao narrowed her eyes, it was rare that she was interested, and it didn't hurt to talk more, and then said: "Let's start with Cantonese opera, first of all, Cantonese opera, including Cantonese opera, is composed of seven systems, these seven systems are the Banghuang system, the song system, the Nianbai system, as well as brands, small songs, Cantonese music, gongs and drums. ”

"Among them, the song system of Cantonese opera includes six categories: dragon boat, wooden fish, Cantonese song, Nanyin, banyan, and saltwater song, which were originally widely circulated among the people of Guangdong Province."

"So, Cantonese opera is a super melting pot that brings together all the different forms of local rap to form a system of Cantonese opera songs?"

"Haha, that's right, it can also be understood in this way, the six types of rap forms just mentioned are all different kinds of flowers in the garden."

"Oooh! I understand! ”

Chu Qianyin's eyes lit up, "Then you just said that Banyan and Nanyin are out of the same door, again?" ”

"Hey, everyone is mixed in the Lingnan territory, and the emergence of these folk rap forms has come first and last, they must have absorbed and blended with each other, in fact, not only Nanyin and Banyan are out of the same door, but also Muyu, Dragon Boat, Nanyin, and Banyan can all be said to be out of the same door."

"Like a white rose, a blue rose, a red rose in a rose?"

"No problem!"

"That'...... How do you tell the difference? ”

"I'll teach you a simple way to distinguish between them, as we all know, rhythm is the soul of music, and there can be no music without rhythm, so it's very convenient for us to start with rhythm to distinguish them."

"The song without beats and without the board is the song of the wooden fish; With a gong and a drum, it seems to have a rhythm and no beat, which is a dragon boat song; On the board, one board and three dings, plus a zither and a board beat and it is the south sound; After condensing the southern sound into a board and a ding, it is the unique folk song of Guangdong Province that I just mentioned, Banyan. ”

"Oh, there is also a very interesting place, when we Cantonese people usually talk about the beat of music, we usually talk about Banyan as 'Banding', but if it is specifically referred to this genre, it will continue the original standard name, and it will be called Banyan."

"Uh-huh-hmm!!"

Chu Qianyin nodded violently like a chicken pecking rice, she had just discovered this, and after listening to Su Bai's confirmation, she suddenly felt a sense of ecstasy in her heart like discovering the earth-shattering secret in advance!

"Although these four raps have different singing methods, the structure, sentence formation and level are all the same, so they are the same one, have I made it clear?"

"Roar, it's clear!"

Chu Qianyin is now comfortable, and finally has the most basic framework for the local opera music in Guangdong Province, and her heart is shocked!

Suddenly, I understood what is the traditional cultural heritage of the flower planter!

Just one of the six categories in one of the seven major systems of Cantonese opera is already so much knowledge, and this is not even a small category!

And Cantonese opera is only a relatively young drama with a history of more than 300 years......

Just pick something out at the bottom of the bottom, and if you don't die, you will lose me!

"Broad and profound, broad and profound!"

Thinking of this, Chu Qianyin became inexplicably excited, and inadvertently even her chin was quietly raised a little.

Seeing her excited and curious little expression, Quan Bo was suddenly relieved, and the old people present were also amused.

"Haha!"

"My sister is good, smart and clever, she understands as soon as she says it."

“......”

Well, it's pretty smart......

Su Bai looked at her pretty face and thought happily in her heart.

Then, slap your palm and continue!

"Okay, let's get down to business, now everyone knows that the so-called banyan is a condensed version of Nanyin, its sentences are similar to Nanyin, and the lyrics roughly constitute seven-character sentences of two, two, three, and three."

"But the difference is also obvious, first of all, its rhythm is one board and one ding, which is obviously faster and more lively, and Nanyin is good at lyricism, and Banyan is mainly storytelling."

"At the same time, its melody itself is also very flexible, most of the time it is said and sung, sometimes it will be sung and said half in a sentence, so it is very vivid and interesting, of course, because of this, among the many types of rap in our Canton, Banyan is the most difficult art to express, little brother is not talented, dare to try it today."

"Good !!"

Suddenly, the hall was full of applause, and everyone couldn't wait!

"Then the banyan song I'm going to sing today is this one."

At the same time, Su Bai also switched the content of the projection, only to see that it was written:

Banyan "Two Old Men Contract", also known as "Rotten Drum"!
