Dialect song: Answer the first question first/What is a "Kri Ma Tsa"/If you can't answer the answer in eleven seconds, it will be considered "sun collapse"

A song full of charm has become quite popular on the Internet recently. Netizens in Xi'an recommended it to friends from all over the country with joy, and it became very popular for a while. Singing about Shaanxi culture in a relaxed and humorous Shaanxi dialect, it sounds friendly and fun. Two 30-year-old Xi'an guys who play rock music use this novel and alternative way to sing about the life of "Old Shaanxi". They want to change the "rustic" image of Western Shaanxi dialect and "carry forward the accent of our ancestor Qin Shihuang."

An "indigenous" band

BLACK HEAD is the name of this band. The Chinese translation is also mixed with Shaanxi dialect characteristics. It is called "Black SA", and "SA" is pronounced twice. , Shaanxi people call their heads "SA", and "黑SA" is the "net" in the Qin Opera character, which means painted face. However, the members of the "Heisa" band are not the scary-looking "Hua Lian", but two rather gentle young people, "Night Knight" and "Hornet", named Cao Shi and Wang Dazhi respectively in real life.

Cao Shi and Wang Dazhi are "indigenous" people in Xi'an. Both of them studied engineering, and now one is a teacher at a university in Xi'an and the other is a recording engineer for a publishing house. They both love rock and roll and have been making music together for seven or eight years. In 2003, by chance, the two created an online song "Little Japan" in Shaanxi dialect. Unexpectedly, it became a hit. It's just that they processed the sound at that time, and some friends around them didn't hear it.

Most people may think that those who play rock music are cynical, but Cao Shi and Wang Dazhi are not like this. They feel that using songs to express life, criticism is only a small part, and more is about showing reality, reflection, love and praise. . Since 2005, they have successively created more than ten songs sung in Shaanxi dialect, incorporating rich musical elements such as blues, opera, jazz, rock, and electronic music. Cao Shi, who is also a guitarist, and Wang Dazhi, who is a keyboard player, collaborated to complete the production links such as songwriting, arrangement, and post-recording processing.

Change the "rustic" appearance

Cao Shi and Wang Dazhi are certainly not the originators of singing in Shaanxi dialect. The "Northwest Wind" and "Xintianyou" that were popular many years ago are actually This is true, but it also leaves everyone with an inertial feeling that Shaanxi dialect is very "rustic". The creation of "Heisa" more reflects the unique personality of "Old Shaanxi", humor, boldness, and even unknown tenderness, as well as the charming culture of Shaanxi, changing the "rustic" appearance. Netizens commented that after listening to their works, you will find that Shaanxi dialect is so beautiful and charming, making you laugh, never getting tired of listening, and recommending it to your friends immediately.

In "Qin Shihuang's Accent", the song of the "Heisa" band, the "Shaanxi Dialect Level 8 Exam Questions" is humorously taken up; "Shaanxi Food" praises dozens of tempting foods Cultural snacks make people listen to their imagination; "Urban Broken Play" bluntly shouts "I love this land of Sanqin, raise me and give me endless fun"; "Wake Up Earlier than Chickens" shows self-mockery The life pressure of urbanites is real and sharp; "The Happy Life of a Poor-tongued High School Student" is also quite realistic, seemingly ridiculing, but in fact it directly attacks the shortcomings of exam-oriented education; and "Paranoia's Love Song" is a pure love song, "I want to hold your hand and walk around Xiaozhai with me" is tender and melancholy. Someone listened and asked, was this sung by the "cold and stubborn" Shaanxi people?

Netizen Mei Xingyu said that the display of the charm of language is not limited by dialects. When paired with correct music, Shaanxi dialect is also extremely beautiful. This is proved to us by "Heisa".

A cultural form

Cao Shi and Wang Dazhi said that during the time of Qin Shihuang, Shaanxi dialect was the official language. Think about how majestic it felt. Sun Lixin, a researcher and dialectologist at the Cultural Institute of the Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences, said that during the historical period from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Shaanxi dialect has always been the basic dialect of Mandarin. Due to the unique position of Shaanxi in the history of Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, the historical status of Shaanxi (Guanzhong) dialect has been established. Its radiation is extremely wide, and the dialects in Xinjiang, Gansu, Shanxi, southern Shanxi and other places have been greatly influenced by it. In recent years, the academic community has attached great importance to it. Research on Shaanxi dialect.

Using dialects with intangible cultural heritage to sing and spread culture, Sun Lixin believes that as a cultural form, this is worthy of recognition. The state's promotion of Mandarin does not mean the elimination of dialects. Studying and using dialects represents cultural diversity. Mr. Yan Minxue, a librarian at the Xi'an Museum of Culture and History and an expert on drama and Qinqiang opera, said that although he has never heard of dialect singing by the "Heisa" band, this form has broad mass appeal. The popularity of "Black Sa" on the Internet is proof of this.

The Shaanxi dialect not only exists in real life, but has also been widely used in dramas, TV series, and sketch art in recent years. The TV series "Xi'an Tiger Family" is a hit, and "Edi Shen Ya" in "Wulin Gaiden" is even more popular across the country. Shaanxi has also produced many well-known artists who are good at dialects. Cao Shi and Wang Dazhi combined rock and roll with Shaanxi dialect this time, which was really fun, interesting and meaningful. Not satisfied, they are composing dialect songs with strong Shaanxi cultural characteristics. China Entertainment Network reporter Jing Junmin
