Zhoushan fishermen's chant originated from Zhoushan, Daishan and other big islands in Zhoushan fishing ground, and has a certain influence in southeast coastal areas of China.
Zhoushan Fishing Ground is one of the four largest fishing grounds in the world, ranking first in China. There are four kinds of fish here: Pseudosciaena crocea, Pseudosciaena crocea, Hairtail and Cuttlefish, which are known as "China Fishing Capital". Zhoushan is an archipelagic city with 1390 islands, and it has jurisdiction over Dinghai, Putuo District, Daishan and Shengsi counties. Zhoushan Island is the largest, followed by Daishan Island. Zhoushan, located in the southeast coast of China and the center of Chinese mainland, is the mouth of the famous Yangtze River, Qiantang River and Yongjiang River. Daishan is a big marine county with rich fishery resources, especially Daiquyang, which is famous for its rich large yellow croaker. From the mid-Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China until the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, tens of thousands of fishermen from Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan Province and other southeast coastal areas gathered in Daiquyang to round up large yellow croaker and stopped at Daishan to bask in fish, which was almost packed, and was once brilliant in the history of traditional fishing in China.
In the past, wooden sailboats were the main tools for fishing and maritime traffic in Daishan and Zhoushan Islands. All the processes on board depend on manual operation, and the collective labor is extremely heavy. In various processes, songs should be called to unify actions and adjust emotions, thus forming a rich number of songs. Zhoushan fishermen's chant (Daishan chant) can be divided into dozens of types according to working procedures, such as anchor chant, drawing chant, reeling chant and sailing chant. Its music is rough and bold, and a series of tunes with distinctive personality and local characteristics have been formed in style.
Zhou, the representative inheritor of Zhoushan fishing songs.
In 2008, the 76-year-old fisherman's week in Shengsi County was named as the representative inheritor of Zhoushan fishing songs, which enabled Shengsi fishing songs to be passed down, such as Bapeng songs and Maoling songs. Zhou has been fishing in the sea for 60 years since 16. Zhou said that Shengsi fishermen's chant had a clear rhythm and a strong sense of rhythm, which adapted to the needs of fishing labor such as pulling nets, anchors, boats and paddles at that time. At the same time, the lyrics of songs are generally modal particles with loud voice and strong sense of rhythm.
When he was young, Zhou was the vice captain of a fishing boat, responsible for pulling out the tent on the boat. He had a special liking for "pulling out the tent". When talking to the author, he specially performed this song. The old man seems to be immersed in the operation scene of the fishing boat setting sail: "Hey, hey, hey!" Just listening to him open the rocker arm, the fishermen on board struggled to pull the sail: "Hey, Ann's tongue is pouting." Everyone in Qi Xin worked together and the fishing boat sailed smoothly ...
Although he is seventy years old, Zhou still has a long tone when he calls his songs. It's not easy to shout fishing songs. Zhou summed up a unique experience. He said that when you shout this song, you should have a mouthful of saliva in your throat. Only when saliva rolls in the throat can the voice be strong and the tune be better. With his unique skills, Zhou participated in the TV finals of Zhoushan Fisherman's Song, which was a blockbuster, and won two awards: "Charm" and "Popularity". On June 5438- 10, 2007, he was invited to participate in the China Fishing Song Invitational Tournament and became one of the most concerned actors.
With the frequent awards in the competition, Zhou has gained a certain popularity in the local area, and more people come to ask him for advice. The county cultural center also recorded a fishing song for him as the original material for the re-creation of Shengsi fishing song. Someone in the village saw it and advised him: "The fishermen's songs must not be recorded. Once others have learned it, the prize will be taken away. " But Zhou regarded this kind of teaching as a kind of inheritance of Shengsi fishing songs? Bet "I will teach others as much as I have in my stomach." Zhou said happily that he had found a successor to teach fishing songs.
