Caihongling is a minor.

This popular song "Picking Hongling" is adapted from Jiangsu folk songs. It originated from Gaochun, Jiangsu (it is also said that Gaochun is only one of the sources). Since the emergence of pop music in the early last century, it has been very popular to collect folk songs and re-create them. For example, the famous Sweet Honey was adapted from Indonesian folk songs, and singing girl was adapted from southern Jiangsu minor. "Picking Hongling" was also re-created after adaptation.

The original folk song "Caihongling" has only female tones, which is a portrayal of women's life in Gaochun.

In Gaochun, picking Hong Ling in the lake was originally a woman's job. In the water town of June, there are many green rhombic leaves on the winding river surface that stretches for more than ten miles. And deep in the green shade where weeping willows fluttered, there floated out a basin of water diamonds, and the surface of water diamonds was scratched, revealing the traces of water on the surface of the leaves. In the rhombic basin, there are sitting aunts, who gently swing around the basin with the boards in their hands, while sticking the rhombic basin to the water surface, rotating left and right, or drifting forward.

Introduction to Caihongling

This song was sung by 14-year-old Teresa Teng, a superstar of Chinese music in the future, in 1966. In that year, she won the singing competition of Taiwan Golden Horse Award Record Company with her "Caihongling", and then officially set foot on the professional music scene. The song "Picking Red Dragons" sung by Teresa Teng is said to have been composed by famous Shanghai composers (later moved to Hongkong, China) Yao Min and Chen Dieyi.

Caihongling, which was re-created by Mr. Yao Min and Mr. Chen Dieyi, has many changes in lyrics and rhythm, and has become a more popular duet love song, and has been interpreted in many versions. In addition to the above versions of Karen Mok and Wu Bai, there are also versions of Zhang Delan, Albert Au, Lv Wei and Tu Honggang. There is also a black duck combination version that covers countless classic folk songs. The most beautiful thing is that "Dance of Picking Ling" once made its debut on the international stage.
