Hometown of Folk Songs—The Four Fortresses of Impression

If you go to Guangxi, don’t forget to visit Luocheng, Yizhou, Sanjie Liu’s hometown; if you want to listen to folk songs, don’t forget to visit Baotan Township, Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County Sibao area; here, you will feel the most simple folk sentiments and customs, and experience first-hand the hearty drinking of Zhuang boys from a basin, the naughty Zhuang girls’ toasting songs and road-blocking songs, the sweetness of love songs, and the huge crowds of people when throwing hydrangeas. The fiery scene; you will hear the original ecological folk songs that are like the sound of nature...

The Sibao area is located at the southern foot of Jiuwan Mountain, where there is abundant rainfall all year round and the forest vegetation is intact. Jiguan Mountain to the east is adjacent to Sipan Village in Long'an Town, Yangjiao Mountain to the west is adjacent to Pingyin and Baima Villages in Baotan Township; to the north is Yangmei'ao in Rongshui County, and to the south is Luocheng Qingming Mountain, the highest peak in the Mulao Autonomous County... Then, the mesmerizing sounds of nature are hidden deep in the four village committees of Sibao, Xihua, Lalang and Zhuangdong in the Sibao area. Among them, the Sibao Village Committee is the center of the area and is also an area where folk songs are concentrated. The charming scenery and beautiful scenery make tourists linger and never want to return. The Sibao Yema Beach is dotted among them and connects the four village committees together. The two small rivers originating from Haodong and Yuxi in Zhuangdong Village intersect with the Gushan River originating from Dongma in Rongshui County. After passing through Jindong, they meet the small river flowing from Donglu in Rongshui County and pass through Lawangeralang. They merge together and finally form the wild Sibao River. The Sibao River meanders southward and covers Banla, Nagan and Qunpu under the jurisdiction of Lalang Village; Banlao, Banping, Banpo, Laojie, Xincun, Shanjiao, Jiwang, Diwu, etc. under the jurisdiction of Sibao Village. Separated by four methods; the clear and bottomless Bingdong River originates from Yangjiao Mountain, flows around Sihai, Houtou, Zhongtang, Pingtian, Menshui, and drains the villages under the jurisdiction of Xihua Village, and slowly flows into the bohemian Sihai River. Fort River.

Sibao Yematan is the largest tidal flat basin in Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County, starting from Lalang Village of Lalang Village Committee in the north to Sifatun and Xihua Village Committee of Sibao Village Committee in the south. Pailai Tun is about five kilometers long and three kilometers wide. The most fascinating and lasting thing on the tidal flats is the endless wild tallow trees. Once autumn comes, the forests are dyed, the red leaves are like fire, and tourists are everywhere. Since ancient times, it has been the best place for boys and girls to date.

With dense mountain forests, clear water, and a good date place, you have to sing some folk songs. Amei and Brother sing until the moon sets on the slope. The folk songs in the Sibao area are sung in the Guiliu dialect, which is different from the folk songs in some Zhuang areas such as Baotan, Qiaoshan and Huaiqun (for comparison). A song is divided into four sentences, each sentence has seven characters. There is also a first sentence with three characters, but most of them have seven characters. Folk songs mostly use local dialects to rhyme (rhyme). In addition to expressing the singer's thoughts and feelings, a song must also be catchy. As the saying goes, "Thousands of songs have the beginning and ten thousand songs have the end." When singing, rhyme is placed first. One person. Singing folk songs requires singers and singers. The singer is definitely a person with an excellent memory. Not only can he sing well, but he can also sing and compose as he goes. In addition to having a good voice and a good memory, a singer must also be able to hear the lyrics clearly in the singer's soft voice and sing them word for word.

Water has its own path, songs have their own path, and singing must also have its own path. Otherwise, no matter how good your voice is, you will not be able to sing together in the end. Just in line with the sentence: "If you haven't sang peonies for a long time, do you know whether the sound is nia? If the sound is nia, we will sing it. If the sound is nia, don't sing it." The man and woman singing to each other can only sing together, and your singing has not been done yet. When the song falls, our singing starts again, one after another, so as to "don't let the singing sound stop when you sing, don't let the wine pot dry when you eat wine." In this way, the listeners can listen with enthusiasm, as if they are intoxicated, and the antiphonal singers can sing You have to put on a pink face, forget everything, and enter the highest state of forgetfulness about things and myself.

In the so-called singing path, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, no matter who is the guest or the host, one party must take the lead first, that is, the lead singer. If the headband is not done well and the song is taken to a dead end, the song will not be sung.

The folk songs in the Sibao area mainly include "road songs" when men and women meet unexpectedly on the way, also called flower songs. Some are passed down orally, and some are composed and sung; secondly, there are "meeting songs" Songs, bitter love songs, love songs, ancient Chinese songs, row songs, separation songs, etc. When visiting other villages as guests, there are also folk songs such as congratulations to the Lord and peace to the Lord. In addition, the reunion songs are divided into first encounter and first meeting. Love songs are divided into new love and old love... The folk song culture has a long history and cannot be described in just a few words, so I won’t dare to talk nonsense here.

The author now arranges some folk songs that I remember when I was young and presents them to the majority of folk song lovers. I hope to learn and make progress together with everyone!

…

I remember that in the mid-1970s, if you wanted to sing folk songs, you had to do it secretly, for fear of being criticized if the working group heard it. Back then, my neighbor's sister got married and was halfway through singing folk songs at night. When she heard that the work team was coming, she ended it in a hurry.

However, after the reform and opening up, the government not only prohibited the singing of folk songs, but also encouraged villagers to spread them. A movie called "Liu Sanjie" has spread all over the country and is famous at home and abroad. Yizhou (Yishan) and Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County (Luocheng) are precisely the hometowns of Liu Sanjie.

I firmly believe that with the support, care and encouragement of the government, Sibao, the fertile soil that breeds folk songs, will cultivate more and more "Liu Sanjie" and more and more "Aniu Ge" "! They will stand out, go out of the Four Forts, go out of Guangxi, go to the whole country, and go to the world!
