Why did Song Zu Ying sing this song in the Golden Hall about the historical story of Jasmine? I think it has something to do with Cantonese.

China folk songs, which are well-known at home and abroad, are widely spread in China and the world. Folk songs originated in Liuhe District, Nanjing. It was adapted from Liuhe folk songs by the famous military composer He Fang. This song has been performed on many important occasions such as the handover ceremony of Hong Kong's return to the motherland and the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/942, Huainan Volkswagen Troupe of the New Fourth Army performed at the foot of Jinniu Mountain in Liuhe, Nanjing. On a rainy afternoon, He Fang, a youth league member who was only 14 years old (He Fang, from Tianchang, Anhui, a famous military composer and former head of the front-line song and dance troupe), heard from the local people that there was an artist nearby who not only played well, but also sang badly. He Fang found the artist in a small room. The artist was very enthusiastic and asked He Fang if he had heard Flower Tune. John young imitated and shook his head. The artist said that this song was sung in Anhui, Jiangsu Province during the Daoguang period, and it was very nice. The artist took the piano and sang:

"What a good jasmine, what a good jasmine; The flowers and plants in the garden are not as fragrant as it is. I want to wear one, but I am afraid that it will not sprout in the coming year; What a beautiful honeysuckle! What a beautiful honeysuckle! Honeysuckle blooms like a hook tooth, and the slave has the heart to pick one and put it on, and the flower watcher will scold the slave. What beautiful roses! What beautiful roses! Roses in a bowl! The bowl is very big. I want to wear one, but I'm afraid of thorns. "

The young man He Fang was fascinated by this melodious coloratura at once. He spent most of his time not only writing down the songs by notation, but also singing them accurately according to the artist's method. Although "Hua Diao" is beautiful, after all, it comes from the folk, and its creation is inevitably a bit rough. After careful consideration, He Fang carried out a "major operation" on Hua Er Diao, changing three kinds of flowers in the song into one. The revised lyrics are: "What a jasmine, what a jasmine, even the flowers in the garden can't be smelled. I have a heart to wear one, and the flower watchers will scold me. A good jasmine, a good jasmine, jasmine can't be white when it snows. I want to wear one, but I am afraid of being laughed at by others; What a good jasmine, what a good jasmine, the flowers in the garden can't compare. I want to wear one, but I am afraid that it will not sprout next year. "

1957, He Fang, then composer and conductor of the frontline song and dance troupe, led the choir to Beijing to participate in the art performance of the whole army. The revised folk song Jasmine in Jiangsu and Anhui became an instant hit, and was soon officially made into a record, which soon spread all over the country and became a popular folk song. 1959, Molly officially went abroad and sang at the Vienna Opera House. Prior to this, He Fang revised the lyrics, changing Flowers in the Garden to Flowers in the Garden, and changing People Who Look at Flowers to People Who are Afraid of Watching Flowers to People Who Look at Flowers, which further enriched the melody and was highly appreciated in Vienna. Since then, "Jasmine Flower" has become a hit, singing from Austria to the former Soviet Union, Indonesia, Poland, Hungary, Albania and all over the world. It is also included in the album of world famous songs. 1At midnight on June 30th, 997, before the handover ceremony of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the China Military Band played the well-known Liuhe folk song Jasmine. 199965438+February19 at midnight, jasmine played again at the handover ceremony when China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Macao.
