In the folk song competition of Longbang, male and female singers compete with each other in wit and talent, and their songs are well-formed, rhymed, and well-matched, with vivid metaphors. As soon as the beautiful singing comes out, the audience will burst into laughter. There are eight types of folk songs: "Shidina" (Xiajia folk songs) in the south, east and west, "Shizhuang" (Lingjie folk songs) in the northeast, "Shichangtao" (Quyang folk songs) in the east, "Shitiandeng" (Tiandeng folk songs) in the east, "Shilonglin" (Shangjia folk songs) in the northwest, "Shilun" (Napo folk songs), "Shibale" (Bale folk songs), "Shihahai" (Diding folk songs), etc. Among them, Xiajia folk songs and Shangjia folk songs are the most common. Longbang Zhuang people generally sing Xiajia folk songs. The basic rules of Xiajia folk songs are: 1. Two people in a group. The number of people in the singing group is two people of the same sex, and each group of male and female singers sings to each other. One of the two people should sing high notes and the other sing low notes, and there should be no repetition of the same notes. In this way, the chorus of two people has beautiful melodies and is pleasant to the ears. 2. Make up lyrics on the spot. In a group of songs, at least one person is a quick-witted person. He or she can make up lyrics on the spot and give targeted answers according to the content of the other party's lyrics. He or she can sing and answer fluently as he or she makes up lyrics. It is required that the other party can start singing and answer as soon as the other party finishes singing. 3. Rhyme every sentence. Each song of Xiajia folk songs has two sentences, like a couplet, like the Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi. There must be a rhyme in the middle and the end. For example: Jiujiu Jingxi opens a singing party, and the Golden Land Cup sets up a stage. A huge crowd of people rush to the singing fair, and there are rows of men and women in red and green. The stadium is crowded with people like a sea, and the Land Administration Bureau sets up a golden cup stage. Fans from far and near are happy to tell each other, and the old and young come together. The new land policy has been promulgated, and farmers can arrange it well. Understand the land rights and use, and farmers should not act recklessly. If land is needed for construction, first ask for instructions and then arrange it. The government is in charge of land, and private land sales are reckless. It is not allowed to destroy the fields to make bricks, and it is right to encourage each other. Extend the contract for 30 years, and you will get rich if the output increases. It is very important to protect arable land, because survival depends on food. Everyone depends on the land for their livelihood, so we need to publicize the program to let people know about it. Building houses is also necessary, and we must first report to the Land Administration Bureau. We should reclaim wasteland and plant fruit trees, and plant food on fertile land. The grain harvest has increased several times, and there is potential for raising poultry and livestock. Cash crops should be used to get rich first, and sugarcane and flue-cured tobacco should be planted. Scientific farming should catch up with the advanced, and there will be enough food and clothing. The people are rich and the country is strong, so we can make our own airplanes and cannons. We should increase the national defense strength, and we will not be afraid of being bullied by the great powers again. Each sentence has seven words, and the ending rhyme must be the same from beginning to end, and the rhyme cannot be changed in the middle. The waist rhyme means that the fourth word of the next sentence must rhyme with the last word of the previous sentence, such as "会" and "杯", "墟" and "女" in the above example. In the singing field, the man always sings first and asks the woman for a song, such as: "Father, the rain is falling just right, why hasn't the river overflowed the drainage?" It means: There are bursts of heavy rain in the world, why hasn't the river overflowed the river? The man is compared to rain and the woman is compared to river water. After thinking about it, the woman answered: "The singing around is noisy, and I am sitting in a quiet place. I feel uncomfortable sitting there." This means that the singing around is noisy, and I am not willing to sit there idle, so I will sing a duet with you. When the woman answers the song for the first time, she must sing two songs in a row before the man takes over the song. After that, they will sing one song after another. Under normal circumstances, there are often many groups of men asking for songs in the same occasion. Among these many women's answering songs, which group is answering yours? It depends on the ending rhyme to distinguish. The one that sings with the same ending rhyme as yours is the one answering yours. In the singing field, if a group of men is not careful when asking for songs and sings the same ending rhyme as another group, they will immediately change to another rhyme. Now, folk songs have become an integral part of the cultural life of the people. In rural areas, singers are invited to sing folk songs on every happy occasion, such as birthdays, full moons, moving into new houses, and weddings, which is commonly known as "warming the house".
