"Backgammon" belongs to Guangdong folk music.

"Bubugao" is the representative work of the famous Guangdong music master Lu Wencheng. It is a unique piece of Guangdong folk music. The music score comes from Shen Yunsheng's 1938 "Piano Music Score", which was already very popular at the time. As the name suggests, the melody is light and exciting, with increasing layers and a bright rhythm. The sound waves rise and fall one after another, one after another. The music is full of motivation and gives people a positive meaning of striving for progress.

Guangdong folk music was originally popular in the Pearl River Delta area. Its predecessors were mainly Cantonese opera cut-scene music and ditties used to highlight performances. Around the early 20th century, it developed into independent instrumental music and spread to other places. Known as Cantonese music.

Extended information

Guangdong folk music mostly uses two strings, fiddle (similar to banhu), three strings, yueqin and horizontal flute (dizi), which are called "five-stringed instruments" and also called "hard bows". "Composition", the solo is usually played with pipa or dulcimer. After the 1920s, Gaohu was used as the main instrument, supplemented by Yangqin and Qinqin, commonly known as "three-piece head", also known as "soft bow".

The main or characteristic instrument of Guangdong folk music is Gaohu, also known as Yuehu and Nanhu. It is basically the same shape as the erhu, except that the barrel is thinner and shorter. At the beginning of the 20th century, folk artist Lu Wencheng changed the outer strings of the erhu from the customary silk strings to steel strings. The tuning was four or five degrees higher than the erhu, making the sound brighter. When playing, hold the piano tube between your legs to control the volume.
