Although I am not a music student, let me talk about it...
Let me first talk about the musical characteristics of the ethnic minority Uighurs in Xinjiang. When it comes to musical characteristics, they must be combined with dance. At the same time, because music without dance is incomplete, it will have no national characteristics and no national style! Uighur folk songs are basically related to dance, and their rhythm is very simple, dong-dong-dong-dong. This The rhythm is suitable for the ethnic dances of Xinjiang. Songs such as "In That Faraway Place" all praise the beautiful prairie of Xinjiang. It is a typical grassland nation. Their musical instruments are rich and simple, such as Adili, Dongbula and so on. There are also wind instruments. The biggest feature of Xinjiang folk songs is that they are very artistic, especially the dances, which are very good improvisational accompaniment songs for dances. The brisk rhythm is like the flowing river meandering. The Xinjiang dance The characteristics are also very obvious, that is, they are beautiful, elegant, light and lively! This can also be regarded as the style of Xinjiang ethnic minorities! Their life in the prairie can be shown to us through music and dance. Obviously, life in the prairie is beautiful. Only then can there be such beautiful Xinjiang dances and such beautiful Xinjiang folk songs!
Speaking of Xinjiang, of course we cannot ignore the Mongolian people. Their styles have many similarities with the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. For example, they are all as heroic and unrestrained as the prairie! Even so, there are differences. For example, the music forms are different. There are many Mongolian musical instruments, and these instruments are more likely to express the mood of the grassland. The Mongolian matouqin expresses The meaning is not joyful, but quiet. In the vast prairie, the sound of the morinouqin makes people feel sad and relaxed. It should be said that the Mongolian people are closer to the "grassland" than the Uighurs in Xinjiang. "Night", after all, the Mongolian people pay attention to a lot of etiquette, so different music forms will lead to differences in dance. The dance form should be said to be unparalleled in Xinjiang dance. Xinjiang dance steps are very flexible, and the dance is also brisk, while Mongolian dance The dance of the Mongolian ethnic group is slightly more closely related to the grassland or hometown! When it comes to hometown, the Mongolian style is related to family, hometown, and mother. I believe you have heard of the Mongolian people of Tengger. The song narrates His beloved home - the prairie. All his life's naughtiness has been pinned on the sacred prairie where he grew up!
It can be said that the Uighurs and the Mongolians are very similar. , but there are also slight differences. Maybe it is caused by political factors, but this is not what we are concerned about. The real answer may be in those notes that have been tempered by history. Maybe only the melody expressed by the notes is the real reason why they Different answers!
After talking about northern songs, southern songs also have their own charm. For example, Yunnan, the music style is very Jiangnan style, and the popular national instrument Hulusi has become a household name. Jay Chou It is used in the ending section of "Chrysanthemum Terrace". It can be said that the combination of his instruments is impeccable. There are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, such as the Dai and Bai ethnic groups, etc. In such a place where large ethnic groups gather, dance must be popular, so it must Cheerful, trendy, and connotative, although the style is very different from the northern Xinjiang dance, and even the dance elements are very simple, the difference is that the difference between their dances is the rhythm. It can be said that the southern dance has a rich rhythm, while the northern dance The rhythm is very simple, and some have no rhythm and just skip by. The very beautiful dance steps are completed in one coherent movement. Different dance steps mean different music. The music of ethnic minorities in the south is the so-called Jiangnan style. Just like the old Chinese-style songs. There are guzheng, erhu, and pipa. They sound very beautiful as soon as they sound, some are narrative, some are lyrical, and some are sentimental. They are slightly better in the field of music. They have a Jiangnan flavor. After all, Chinese-style songs whose tunes contain artistic conception are acceptable to the Chinese people!
In short, the styles of national music vary from region to region, which is also their charm, because only in this way can the elements of music be enriched, otherwise no matter how connotative the songs are, you will one day listen to them." "Tired", I think the highest state of a song is the diversification of musical elements.
Because only in this way can everyone communicate with each other and the world will flow! Never static, always alive!
