Shuyang folk songs are an important part of Jiangsu folk songs and an important historical and humanistic form of the whole ancient Haizhou area. In the long history, they have a strong people's character. It is collective in creation, oral and changeable in circulation, and inherited in artistic forms and techniques. It mainly reflects people's life, struggle, thoughts, feelings, ideals and aspirations, and directly expresses people's aesthetic concepts and artistic interests.
Mr. Yang, an old writer in Shuyang, divided Shuyang folk songs into historical legendary songs, labor songs, current political songs, ritual songs, life songs, fast-talking songs, mahjong songs, love songs, wives-killing tunes, and black dragon-shaking tunes, with various forms and rich contents.
Here, the author does not repeat the tunes, but only makes some superficial personal appreciation of the representative folk song lyrics. They are also artistic treasures in folk literature.
0 1, gluttonous
Osmanthus fragrans opens and osmanthus fragrans falls,
Osmanthus fragrans blooms on the hillside.
Noble people pick flowers and plant flowers,
Your sister is still waiting for your brother to catch up.
I want to eat bean sprouts in the first month
I want to eat the Wild Fruit Festival in February.
I want to eat leeks in March.
I want to eat plum beans in April.
I want to eat Dragon Boat Festival jiaozi in May.
I want to drink fresh peach juice in June.
I want to eat big dates in July.
I want to eat old water chestnut in August.
I want to eat cucumber ground in September.
I want to eat frozen radish in October.
1 1 I want to eat frozen blocks every month.
I want to eat ice cream in December.
Twelve months a year, looking back,
I still miss that dry brother in Yangzhou.
Shuyang folk songs have such a characteristic. When describing a process, in order to express its intensity, it is generally expressed in twelve months of a year, and the thoughts of a person never stop. For example, works such as "Flirting in December" and "Watching the Small Five" all emphasize how you miss your sweetheart every month.
This song "gluttony" also uses this expression, and you can eat whatever you want every month. There should be no regrets, right? Yes, the last sentence of the lyrics is actually the core of this song, that is, after eating so many delicious foods in a year, I still can't help but want to love someone!
Because of the foreshadowing of the last section, the last sentence is more powerful. It can be seen that the ancients skillfully used rhetorical devices for many years.
Love you, don't marry others.
Buckwheat blooms and shines,
Look at my brother's rose.
There are dewdrops on the bone flowers,
My sister's face is shy,
I hope to put flowers in my head.
Tea flowers are full of vines,
Bean flower darkens the heart.
Brother sleeps with his legs straight,
Love you, don't marry others.
The lyrics of this song "Love You Never Marry Others" are hot and straightforward, and the image of a woman who dares to love and hate is just around the corner.
He is not only a promise to his lover, but also an oath to love. I want to refuse to be ashamed, but I "want to put flowers in my head." That kind of charming feeling is beyond words. Express your love for your lover so beautifully.
She also expressed her determination, although she couldn't write "the mountains have no edges, the heaven and the earth are in harmony, and dare to die with you." Sweet words, but it is her "broad bean with black heart", a heart that expresses love to you, just like a broad bean, no one can change it.
At the same time, please rest assured that "my brother's sleeping legs are straight." Does this word mean one in our dialect? When a person finishes one thing or believes in one thing, he sleeps soundly and has no feeling of worry at all, so that her brother can rest assured that if I love you, I will never marry anyone else in my life!
03. Northwest Township of Gaoyou
There is a northwest township above Gaoyou.
There is a small boss who runs a six-day tour.
Yeah, yeah, hey,
I met a dry girl who lives in Balizhuang.
The little boss is homesick.
It's really hard for a girl to work hard.
Yeah, yeah, hey,
Send a message to my sister and daughter.
After the dry sister took it, there were tears in her eyes.
I hate my parents for treating me like a tiger and a wolf.
Yeah, yeah, hey,
I really don't have a good idea.
Speaking of Qingming, it is the Cold Food Festival.
Pack your things and burn incense in Tibetan temples.
Yi ya ya zi hello
Invite my brother to have a party.
Kneeling on the futon with my dry brother,
Begging for the levy, the overlord forced the Wujiang River to die.
Yi ya ya zi hello
They couldn't stop crying and loved each other.
Second sister, grab Lang's clothes.
Don't ask god, don't ask mother, just ask me to be kind,
It's better to go downstream, you and I will pair up early!
It is said that this song "Northwest Township of Gaoyou" first spread in Yangzhou and Gaoyou. However, with the passage of time and the continuous singing and inheritance of the people, the local folk songs that are now circulating in Shuyang are separated from Gaoyou, a narrow northwest township.
This lyric is like a narrative poem, describing a couple who went to buddhist nun to burn incense and ask for a sign. The little girl didn't believe in fate and asked her little lover to run away with her.
Then I remembered a line from a movie not long ago: Life is up to me. In the old society, there was such a woman who bravely said that she didn't believe in fate and believed in herself, which really showed that girls in Shuyang could boldly pursue their own happiness when love came.
Here comes the No.04 and No.8 bus (Spring Tour Four Seasons)
It's spring,
The poor are worried.
The ghost warrior is here,
How good is this?
People in the city moved,
The countryside is in chaos.
Summer is coming,
The wheat turned golden yellow.
The devil wants to rob food,
Farmers are busy harvesting,
Laying a good grain,
Collect it quickly.
It's autumn,
Japanese machine guns screamed,
Bombing cannons everywhere,
People are terrible,
How many people, under the butcher knife,
Throw your head bravely.
It's winter,
The north wind roared,
Here comes the Eighth Route Army,
Copy the devil's lair,
People, go forward bravely,
Send food and grass.
Folk songs also bear traces of history in their inheritance. This song "The Eighth Route Army Comes" truly records the relationship between the people and the Eighth Route Army in the anti-Japanese era.
The lyrics are easy to understand, showing the anxiety of ordinary people all the year round and the plot of sending food and grass in the battle with the Japanese devils after the Eighth Route Army came.
During this period, many anti-Japanese folk songs appeared, such as "Fighting East", which fully reflected the cohesion of the Chinese nation. Even these folk artists consciously or unconsciously publicized the war of resistance against Japan.
05, mention the little clam.
Hold up the small stone tablet,
Brother, brother, open your mouth.
Open your mouth and sing together,
Pull the rope by hand, pull hard.
Hit it hard,
Tear down the foundation and build a house.
As soon as the sun is red,
Old people should learn from Lao Huangzhong,
Women should learn from Mu Guiying,
Young people should learn from McCullough.
Don't be lazy when pulling the rope.
Be a hero.
The bright moon comes out and hangs the willow tips.
It's good for sister-in-law to meet Xiao Zao.
He said that the old sister-in-law had big breasts,
She called bachelors cunning.
When the moon sinks,
I just went home to sleep.
Lift the small bowl and work hard.
I want to eat white rice this afternoon.
Pork pot stewed vermicelli,
To prevent you from eating and sweating.
Build a new house and sleep,
I feel comfortable living in the new house.
Before 1980s, building houses or paving roads and laying foundations in rural areas of Shuyang County would be "beaten". When hammering, several people hold the roller or grinding disc high above their heads, then take a step back, and then hit the foundation hard to tamp the soil, and so on.
In order to make everyone exert their strength, act in unison and exert their strength evenly, one of them is responsible for singing rhythmically and the others respond in unison. This is called "Fu Poetry".
Fighting is a traditional folk culture in Shuyang. Before and after liberation, rural areas mostly used the method of laying foundation to pave the road.
Calling the trumpet is mainly to mobilize passion and boost morale. Trumpeters need to be loud, clear, loud and passionate. When they shout out the first hymn, all the people with trumpets will respond together and hold the trumpet high. Then, the one who shouted the trumpet shouted again, and everyone shouted along, and then the trumpet fell off, and so on. If you can't sing a good song, you can't lift it.
This lyric poem is only a true record of the process of Xiao Lang being lifted. It's not a song. Playing the trumpet should be concise, powerful and interesting, so that everyone has the spirit and strength to work together. Some songs are vulgar in order to improve everyone's enthusiasm. Mainly depends on the cultural accomplishment of the bearer, to determine the content of the call. Here is a song:
Hey, there it is.
H: hey hey hey!
Your wife!
He: gnome male-"!
Your wife,
H: hey hey hey!
Collar: water snake waist,
He: Hehe hehe,
L: The one walking,
H: hey, hey!
Hey, floating on the water!
H: hi! Hey, hey!
Look, isn't it short and interesting? In particular, the phrase "floating on water" vividly describes the steps of the little woman twisting her waist, as if the little wife were standing in front of her.
06, I went to Nanyuan to pick melons.
Sister went to Nanyuan to pick melons,
I looked up and saw my mother-in-law's house.
Sad and numb, hey hey,
Sad and numb.
It's not easy to scream when you see your father-in-law.
When I saw my mother-in-law shouting, mom, hello, hello.
have a cup of tea , please.
It's hard to shout when you see uncle,
Laugh when you see your brother-in-law
Your brother is at home, hehe.
Your brother is at home.
Go home and tell your brother.
Prepare money to take the nu house.
I'm seventeen or eighteen, hehe,
I'm seventeen or eighteen.
Head water, robe, watermelon,
I didn't go to your house until I got to the water.
Meet a real three, hey, hey,
Meet the three of us.
Big (dad) doesn't go to mom's bed,
Brother doesn't go into sister-in-law's room.
Little slave, I'll wait for the autumn to get cold, hehe,
Little slave, I'll wait for the cool autumn.
Luffa is old and full of seeds.
Beans are old and have two faces.
Little Nujia was, hehe.
The little slave family was.
A full man doesn't know if a hungry man is hungry.
Riding a donkey doesn't know how to get rid of it.
Don't worry if you dare, hey hey,
Don't worry if you dare.
If you don't take it in two years,
Hug Yinwa to your home.
Throw you to work, hey, hey,
Let you live, Zaza.
A 17-year-old girl in the countryside has a husband's family. In the south, there is a small garden (vegetable field) at home. She went to collect melons for fear of meeting her husband's family. Being shy, she met someone who didn't know how to address her. But I really want to see them.
The little girl wants to get married early. Some resentful lovers didn't come to propose earlier. She looked at Jing Yu Sheng and said, "Luffa is an old melon with a belly, and beans are an old melon with two skins." Why not marry yourself? When you get old, you will look like a loofah.
My little daughter has finally become cruel. Two years later, if you don't take me, I will be pregnant with your family. Will it be shameful in the village?
Isn't our little sister in Shuyang tough enough?
