Lyrics of Filial Song to Yang Family Generals

Lyrics:

A: Coming to the mourning hall, the filial son is crying with tears, (I) sing a filial song to persuade you:

Only for the adults to return Yin, it is difficult to see each other forever;

A filial son does not need to be too sad, life and death are unpredictable in ancient times;

Birth, old age, illness and death are normal, don't blame the deceased for his short life.

B: Call me, Xiao family, listen to me, life and death have existed since ancient times, whether they are long or short, each has its limits.

Peng Zu lived for 800 years, and Zhang Guolao lived for 20,000 years;

Gan Luo thirteen had already worshiped the prime minister, and Ziya did not come out until he was seventy years old;

As the days increase and the years increase and people’s lifespan increases, they can only be treated as (adults) and return to the Western Heaven.

C: Don’t be too sad, a filial son. People’s life span is destined, and there is no one in the world who will not die.

I advise you not to burst into tears, it is a matter of life and death.

It is said that the deceased returns to the heavenly realm because he brings less Yangshou.

There is no need to cry or mourn, and the descendants will make a lot of money.

Ding: A filial son does not need to shed tears. Everyone has parents. How can one live forever without returning to the underworld?

If you practice filial piety when you are alive, why should you burst into tears when you die;

Much money and paper are burned in front of the spirit to send the deceased to the underworld;

The deceased went to the Naihe River The bridge is a road to the underworld. Extended information

The second category is to sing ancient books, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Yang Family General" and other local operas. You can sing a book from beginning to end, or you can sing several books The contents are strung together and sung together, but the rhyme should be paid attention to.

The third category is impromptu self-composed and self-sung. In this case, there are masters present, and the people who hear the news are even more excited to come and listen. There are also a very few "filial sons" who do not show filial piety to their elders on weekdays. They wait until the old man passes away before pretending to be "filial sons". Among the elders who are "filial sons" and are willing to speak out without fear of offending others, they will come out and make some sarcastic remarks. , which can be regarded as an angry talk.
