The Dong people are a nation of songs, and songs are the most important spiritual food for the Dong people, which is the expression of wisdom, talent, knowledge and wealth. In Dong village, there is nothing that can't be sung with songs, and there is no emotion that can't be expressed with songs. Dong people use songs to sing about the origin of everything, the history of the nation, the merits of heroes, the feelings in their hearts, and the beautiful love ...
Pipa songs begin with love, originate from young people's feelings and imitation of natural life in love, and originate from labor and life, which is full of youth and love.
Pipa songs mainly sing about love, which is a song for young men and women to express their love, convey their feelings and pour out their hearts while singing and sitting on the moon. Pipa songs accompany young men and women in love through night after night, and Pipa songs bring together couples of young people. Pipa is a bridge of love and a witness of their love. The older generation of Dong people said: "Dong people have created a wonderful music with love, and the power of love is very great."
Pipa songs, also called "Sitting Night Songs", are played and sung by young people in the Moon Hall when they sit on the moon. As night fell, Lahan (young men) embraced the pipa, and began to walk around the village in groups of three and five, heading for the Yuetang of Lahu (girls). The girls also gathered in groups of three and five, sewing and waiting for the arrival of the descendants who embraced the pipa ...
Pipa songs grew up in a Dong family in a popular Pipa song community, and at the beginning of speaking, There are three ways to learn songs in a flat frame. One is to learn from parents, especially from mothers. When Dong people learn songs, their mother is often the first teacher. Second, peers learn to sing from each other, or learn to sing from people a little older than themselves. In Dong township, people of the same generation and age have been together since childhood. When I was a child, I went to school together, went up the tree to dig birds together, and went down the stream to catch fish together. When I grew up, I went up and down the mountain together, cut firewood and planted seedlings together, sang songs and sat on the moon together, and went to villages and villages together. Even if I got married, I often chose the same year or even the same day. This kind of people of the same class and generation naturally form a song class, and everyone's songs have improved in mutual influence; The third is to learn from singers. In Dong township, the singer is regarded as an able person in the village and a cultural inheritor. He has always been universally respected and has a high honor. Anyone who sings well, can compose songs and remembers many songs is a singer, the elderly are singers, and young people can also become singers, but more often, the elderly regard teaching songs to young people as their responsibility and mission.
With pipa, with singing, there is love. What Hongzhou Pipa Song has built is a marriage and love network, that is, the Dong village that sings Hongzhou Pipa Song naturally forms a network where marriage can take place. Singing or not is an important condition for girls and their descendants to choose marriage. In villages that don't sing Pipa songs, the descendants generally don't take the initiative to marry the girls there, and girls in villages that sing Pipa songs generally don't agree to marry them. Moreover, the villages singing Pipa songs are obviously different from other Dong villages around them in terms of costumes, headdresses and silver ornaments. From the appearance alone, they can also be distinguished as girls belonging to Pingjia community and Dong village women singing Hongzhou Pipa songs.
Pipa song is not only a song, but also a symbolic cultural phenomenon, a symbol of life and culture of Pingjia people, and a symbolic system established by Pingjia people.
The Dong Nationality published by Guizhou People's Publishing House in p>1958 and Dong Da Ge published by Chongqing Publishing House in 1959 all introduced Hongzhou Pipa Song, especially a flat-frame Dong Song (that is, the younger generation should respect the elderly). In 1959, china national radio sent personnel to inspect the Dong songs in Liping. One of the favorite pipa songs of the audience was "The Younger Generation Should Respect the Elderly" written by Hongzhou Pingjia, which caused a sensation in the music industry at that time and was called "wonderful music" unique among national folk songs. In 1986, a group of 11 Dong Song Choirs organized by Qiandongnan Prefecture went to Paris, France for the first time to participate in the French Golden Autumn Art Festival. When they performed at the Xiale Palace in Paris, they sang the flat-frame pipa song "The younger generation should respect the elderly". The famous French female artist Marquette commented with great excitement: "Beautiful, beautiful. There are only over two million Dong people in China, and their music is so shining that it is rare in the world. France loves it and people all over the world will love it." Le Monde, a French newspaper, gave an ingenious evaluation of Liping Dong people's great songs, and highly praised Hongzhou Pingjia Pipa as "one of the important discoveries of the Golden Autumn Art Festival". The Liberation Daily, a French newspaper, also published a review article, saying that Dong people's Pipa is "a strange music with cantata, bel canto and accompaniment".
In 24, the large-scale propaganda film "China-Charm Forever" (the 24 Athens Olympic Games tourism propaganda film), which was promoted by China National Tourism Administration to overseas markets, was filmed in Zhaoxing. The film crew highly praised Hongzhou Pipa, who participated in the performance: "It is scattered among the people and crystal clear as pearls, which is the most beautiful and rare national bel canto singing method in China." Once again, this original ecological folk singing method has drifted to every corner of the world. Let's play another beautiful pipa song and listen to the ancient teachings-"The younger generation should respect the elderly": "Listen, everyone, I will sing a folk song, so that the younger generation can respect the elderly, let them have a happy old age, respect the elderly first with delicious food, and don't let the elderly suffer from hunger and hunger, so that the whole family will be happy and future generations will be happy ..."
