"The sun is out, a little red, the moon is out, it's like a bow, the stars are out, they're hanging, the thunder god is flashing." Walking on the rural road of Jiangjun Village, Tianxian Town, Naxi District, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, you can hear folk songs from the fields from time to time. The humorous, witty and vivid lyrics make people laugh. This is the Naxi folk song rolling board folk song. The rolling board folk song is unique to Naxi folk songs, and the rolling board folk song in Naxi folk songs has a strong local characteristic. The so-called rolling board folk song is to sing in a continuous short sentence in a way of speaking and singing with a brisk rhythm. The speaking and singing here does not mean speaking and singing separately, but "speaking" is "singing", and "singing" is contained in "speaking", which has become a prominent feature of Naxi rolling board folk song. "The first time I heard villagers singing rolling board folk songs was when I went to the countryside to join the production team. The scene is still fresh in my memory." Zeng Lingxiong, director of the Naxi District Cultural Center, introduced. In 1970, the young Zeng Lingxiong went to work in Ledeng Commune (now Jiangjun Village, Tianxian Town). There were many farmers who could sing folk songs. At that time, they worked collectively. Everyone gathered in the fields and sang folk songs while doing farm work. The folk songs all over the mountains and fields were moving, which made everyone feel more energetic when they worked. The rolling board folk songs were sung by one person and sung by everyone. The lyrics were all inspired by people's work. There was a local named Mou Erye who sang the best yangko. He was able to use the stone bag tune, the eagle tune, and the Dahe tune freely, and he could also make up lyrics randomly, and his high pitch was extraordinary. The rice seedling pulling song must be led by one person and everyone else follows. Naturally, Master Mou became the leader: "(lead) There are many weeds in the fields, (chorus) Yo, yiyoyo hey, (lead) I pulled out nest after nest, (chorus) ya heyhey yiyo" Seeing a pretty girl walking on the edge of the field, Master Mou Er immediately made up lyrics: "A pretty girl is walking over from the opposite side, wearing flowery shoes on her feet and a flowery dress on her body." Everyone follows: "Yoyo yiyo hey." Seeing the rice seedlings in the rice fields, they also sing, and in a funny way, "The fields are planted in rows, A pair of rice seedlings come to rest. I pick up rice seedling eggs in the middle, and I knock down the rice seedling mother at night." Singing folk songs can capture the hearts of beauties: "The river is rising and forming whirlpools. Look at that beloved sister, she is so kind-hearted. She wants to keep my beloved brother for lunch, but she is afraid that the rice sieve will be used as a door. She has so many eyes." The love songs in the rolling board folk songs are simple, vivid, humorous and interesting in expression, with a strong sense of picture and image. People locked in the study room could not think of such a vivid metaphor as "the rice sieve has many eyes for the door". These love songs also made pairs of lovers. Chen Kaicai, an old farmer in Jiangjun Village, Tianxian Town, is one of the representatives of singing rolling board folk songs. Chen Kaicai has loved folk songs since he was a child. He can remember folk songs after listening to people singing them once. He can sing countless folk songs and create his own lyrics. In 1958, Lang Yuxiu, a professor at Sichuan Conservatory of Music, went to Jiangjun Village to collect folk songs and gave Chen Kaicai some advice, which greatly improved his singing skills. On March 3 of that year, the local folk song festival was held for the first time. Chen Kaicai went on stage to sing and won the championship. From then on, Chen Kaicai's reputation for singing folk songs spread in the local area. Chen Kaicai's wife Zhou Bangxun was a flower in Jiangjun Village at that time. All the young people in the village liked her, but she was obsessed with singing folk songs and looked at Chen Kaicai differently when he showed his singing voice at the folk song festival. Chen Kaicai had long admired Zhou Bangxun, and often sang folk songs when Zhou Bangxun was herding cattle or chopping wood behind his house, and Zhou Bangxun would hide behind the door and eavesdrop. The moving folk songs finally touched the beauty's heart, and the couple finally got married. Now, the two are over 60 years old, and they are still deeply in love with folk songs. The origin of "Chasing Wild Cats" When talking about rolling board folk songs, we have to mention "Chasing Wild Cats", which is the most representative piece of rolling board folk songs. In 2004, at the 5th China Western Folk Song (Hua'er) Singer Invitational Competition, "Chasing Wild Cats" sung by four male singers from Luzhou conquered the judges and won the gold medal with its strong local flavor, unique harmonic structure and humorous performance. So, how was "Chasing Wild Cats" discovered among the many folk songs? In late autumn of 1958, Wang Jianzhong, a music teacher at Luzhou Normal School, and others went to Dali, Longche and other places in Naxi to collect, excavate and organize folk songs. One morning, Wang Jianzhong and his party were walking in the countryside when they suddenly heard bursts of bright and high-pitched folk songs coming from the mountains: "Seventeen or eighteen years old, my little sister! You are embroidering flowers and shoes in the room!" "A big yellow wind blows in. Which cousin did this yellow wind bring the news?" Suddenly, he paused and heard several people on the mountain opposite singing together: "The locust trees will not move if the wind does not blow, and the lover will not come if the sister does not invite him!" After a few minutes, the folk songs stopped abruptly, but Wang Jianzhong was still immersed in the melodious, beautiful and beautiful folk songs. He seemed to be in February and March when the flowers were blooming, and the couples sang in his ears. The implicit love words, either chanting or singing, aroused the sweetheart's mood. After Wang Jianzhong "woke up" from the singing, he immediately asked the more than 10 men and women to teach him to sing sentence by sentence, while he wrote down the score and lyrics sentence by sentence. After half a day, all the lyrics were memorized, and Wang Jianzhong sang it from beginning to end to the "masters", changing it word by word and singing along sentence by sentence, but it just didn't have that charm. After listening to the "masters" singing dozens of times, Wang Jianzhong found that he didn't express it with charm and emotion, so he had to learn the singing again. After a lot of "trouble", the "master" was relatively satisfied. Later, Wang Jianzhong found out that the song was called "Chasing Wild Cats", which was the most distinctive and famous folk song in Dali. This discovery made Wang Jianzhong very excited. After returning to Luzhou, Wang Jianzhong invited Wang Lisan, the most authoritative person in Yibin music at that time, to sort out the lyrics and music of "Chasing Wild Cats" together. At that time, Lang Yuxiu, who led the team to Luzhou to guide the literary and artistic field trip, was also very excited after listening to the song. She thought the song had local characteristics, artistic conception, beautiful melody and high "selling point". She suggested that it be developed and studied, and made suggestions for modification. In 2002, Zeng Lingxiong, who had just been transferred to the Naxi District Cultural Center, adapted "Chasing Wild Cats" again, and boldly tried to adapt the solo track into a male quartet, which made "Chasing Wild Cats" win the championship in various competitions. The confrontation between the original ecology and modern culture The changes of time and the progress of the times have changed the original production methods. Coupled with the impact of modern culture, few people can sing folk songs now. Guo Zhangfu, a 66-year-old farmer in Jiangjun Village, Naxi District, said that in recent years, he has never sung folk songs loudly, but just hummed quietly while working. "Why don't you sing loudly?" the author asked. "Now everyone works separately, and there is no singing environment like in the past. Even if you sing loudly, no one will respond." Guo Zhangfu told the author that most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, and those at home only like to sing pop songs. According to the survey conducted by the Naxi District Culture and Sports Bureau, there are less than 30 people who can sing the rolling board folk songs, and most of them are in their 50s and 60s. In order to make the rolling board folk songs, a cultural treasure, shine again, Naxi District has carried out rescue protection for Naxi folk songs, using text, recording, digital multimedia and other means to preserve the rolling board folk songs in a real, comprehensive and systematic way, and published "Selected Naxi Folk Songs", which includes 76 rolling board folk songs. In March 2007, Naxi rolling board folk songs entered the first batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage lists. At present, Naxi District is vigorously promoting the rolling board folk songs, and is compiling local teaching materials for the rolling board folk songs. In the future, they will enter campuses to let students understand the rolling board folk songs. The local area has also established a small professional singing team for the rolling board folk songs and set up a protection fund for the descendants of the rolling board folk songs. Through various means such as training for music teachers in primary and secondary schools, town cultural officers, and personnel in the tourism and catering service industries in the district, the rolling board folk songs are brought out of the "boudoir".
