Hui ?Mountain Huaer? (Internet)

?Mountain Huaer? Commonly known as dried flowers, mountain tunes, and wild flowers, it is mainly spread in the Liupan Mountain area The representative folk song genre of the Hui inhabited areas, in terms of melody form, is a natural variation phenomenon caused by regional differences in the process of the spread of "Hua'er" from the central area to the surrounding areas. As a self-entertaining mountain song for the Hui people to please themselves, relieve boredom, and express their emotions, Shanhuaer has a broad mass base and rich folk cultural connotations.

"Shan Hua'er" inherits the characteristics of ancient folk songs (Tu Ge, Xiang He Ge, and Standing Song) in the Longshan area. "Longshan Song", "Longban Song" and "Longyuan Song" in "The Book of Songs? Bin Feng" and "Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties Yuefu" are its forerunners. Historical records and music records describe its characteristics as: "One singer sings in harmony, just like Zhou Lang who Gu Ququ, and three lines are stacked one on top, just like the Miao custom of dancing on the moon." The complex and pluralistic culture makes it present more characteristics of transitional culture and marginal culture. The widely sung Hui mountain flower is one of the most representative. Shanhuaer is basically a form of self-singing for self-entertainment or is sung in a small area. On the basis of inheriting the ancient Longshan folk song "three lines per stack", it is mostly sung in the form of a single set of short songs with improvised lyrics. Shanhuaer music inherits the characteristics of four-tone and five-tone tones of ancient Longshan Tuge, and absorbs the various influences of Xintianyou, Shanshan Tune, Taominhuaer, Hehuanghuaer and Islamic tones, and mostly uses the pentatonic scale to complete the circuitous process. Shan Hua'er has distinctive characteristics in literature and music, with a unique style and rich local flavor. It maintains the rough and bold characteristics of folk songs and wild songs, and has a smooth and beautiful minor key flavor. It is a vivid expression of the Hui culture in Ningxia and has research value in ethnology and folklore. "Shan Hua'er" has a stack of three lines and double-word endings that rhyme, etc. It is a relatively unique folk song form in the Longshan area and has high literary value. Based on the Shang Zheng type four-tone tune and the five-tone tune, it has evolved into a unique style of Huaer song with diverse musical forms, tones, melodies and rhythms. The representative songs of Ningxia Mountain Flowers include "Cows Drinking Water on the Bank of the Yellow River", "Looking at the Gahua in My Heart", "Flowers Are the Words in My Heart", etc. At present, most of the singers who can master multiple repertoire and styles are past their seventies, and the natural ties of inheritance are difficult to maintain. The impact of modernization has caused the continuous loss of the original characteristics of local culture, and the survival of Shanhuaer has been in crisis, which must be paid attention to by relevant parties.
