Guanzhong folk songs are mostly popular in the rural areas of the 800-li Qinchuan area of Shaanxi. They are generally passed down orally by elders or childhood friends. They are highly regional, contemporary, educational and entertaining. The author was fortunate to collect some folk songs popular in the Weibei villages of Guanzhong in the 1970s and 1980s. They are interesting and fun to savor. So I would like to share them with you. Folk customs: "Shepherd's purse, white flowers bloom, Ajia (mother-in-law) dies and you are the head of the family, grind white flour, make dumplings, pour spicy oil on the noodles, and see how you two eat?" In the rural areas of Guanzhong, men are generally responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. As the saying goes, "Men are the baskets, and women are the boxes." How a family lives is determined by the level of a hostess in managing the family and managing finances. When the mother-in-law is alive, she is usually the head of the family. Only when the mother-in-law passes away, the power of the family is handed over to the daughter-in-law. This ballad reflects this custom. Family education: "A magpie with a long tail will forget his parents after marrying a wife." Aspirations: "Luoluo, noodles. Pork, fan. Mutton, skewers. My child is a lucky egg. Born and raised in a blessed place, enjoy the blessings under the leadership of the Communist Party." This reflects that the land contract responsibility system and the reform and opening-up policies are deeply popular among the people, and the masses are full of expectations and longings for a better future. Confidence-inspiring: "When the bamboo board hits, the board faces upwards. I will find a partner for Tiger. The lame ones are not promising, but my Tiger has hope." In the rural areas of Guanzhong, there is a catchphrase that goes, "Other people's crops, my own children." Everyone looks at their own children and their obedient children. Scathing satire: "One, two, three, go to the city gate. There is an old man at the city gate. He closes the gate every time he eats. A fly caught a grain of rice and chased it for eighteen miles. Cross a bridge and pick up a peach. Cross a river and pick up a mule. Hurry up and ride it on Deer's carriage." The image of a stingy, greedy, and petty-cheap "Grandet-style" country old man comes to mind. Simple philosophy: "Mimi cat, go to Gaoyao. Golden hoofs, silver claws, if not mice, catch sparrows. Sparrows make jackets for children. Ask children to wear them, but they won't. Ask dogs to wear them, but they fish for leeks in the river. Leek flowers float up, ask children to wear them, but they won't. Others wear them and children are very cute. Sparrows fly away, and children are mad to death." This ballad is euphemistic and catchy. Folk songs are symbols of history and notes of cultural movement. They are highly informative, interesting, and communicative. However, with the popularity of new media such as the Internet, radio, television, and WeChat, people can hear fewer and fewer folk songs, and children are not as interested in folk songs as before. Today, Guanzhong folk songs, this intangible cultural heritage, urgently needs to be protected and developed, and urgently needs to be revived through a new form and media, so that Guanzhong folk songs can continue to play its role in educating society and entertaining the people in the process of inheritance and development.
