In this article, I have compiled relevant knowledge about Han Yuefu for everyone. You are welcome to read it.

Introduction to Han Yuefu

Han folk music. Yuefu was first established in the Qin Dynasty. It was an institution under the "Shaofu" at that time that specialized in the management of music, dance and singing teaching.

It was officially established in 112 BC during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Its duty is to collect folk songs or literati's poems to set the music for performance at court sacrifices or banquets. The poems it collected and compiled were later called "Yuefu Poems", or simply "Yuefu Poems". Contents of the Yuefu Double Jade

"The Peacock Flying Southeast" and "Mulan Poetry" are collectively called the "Yuefu Double Jade".

"Peacock Flying Southeast" was originally a folk song, which may have been processed and polished by later generations of literati. The story tells the story of a woman named Liu Lanzhi during the Jian'an period at the end of the Han Dynasty. She was beautiful, kind, smart and hard-working. After she married Jiao Zhongqing, the couple respected and loved each other and had a deep relationship. Unexpectedly, Jiao's mother, who was paranoid and stubborn, did not like her, was picky in every possible way, and threatened Jiao Zhongqing to expel her. Jiao Zhongqing was forced by his mother's fate and had no choice but to persuade Lanzhi to stay away from her parents' home temporarily and try to take her home later. When they broke up, the two vowed never to betray each other. Unexpectedly, after Lanzhi returned to her natal family, her brother, who was in favor of Yan, forced her to remarry the son of the prefect. Jiao Zhongqing came after hearing the news, and the two agreed to "meet under the underworld". Finally, on the day when the prefect's son was getting married, they both died in love.

"Poetry of Mulan" is a long narrative folk song from the north of my country during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It describes Mulan, a woman who disguised herself as a man, joined the army on behalf of her father, fought on the battlefield, returned to the court in triumph, achieved meritorious service and received a title, resigned from office and returned home. The story is full of legend. This poem creates the immortal character of Mulan, which is both legendary and real and touching. Mulan is both a strange woman and an ordinary person, a heroine and a common girl, a vigorous warrior and a beautiful daughter. She is hard-working, kind-hearted, resolute and brave, honest and simple yet smart and lively. She loves her family and serves the country. She does not admire high-ranking officials and generous salaries but loves a peaceful life. For more than a thousand years, the story of Mulan joining the army on behalf of her father has been well-known in our country, and Mulan's image has always been deeply loved by people. This poem has strong folk song characteristics. The whole poem uses "Mulan is a girl" to conceive the legendary story of Mulan, which is full of romance. Han Yuefu is divided into

1. Suburban temple songs: mainly songs composed by noble scholars for sacrifices, which are gorgeous and elegant.

2. Advocacy lyrics: also called short flute and cymbal songs, the lyrics were added later and are complex in content. Mainly folk creations.

3. Xianghe's lyrics: The music is folk music collected from various places, and the lyrics are mostly "street ballads". There are many excellent works among them, which are the essence of Han Yuefu.

4. Miscellaneous lyrics: Many of the tunes are unknown. Because it cannot be classified, it is a category of its own. There are some excellent folk songs in it.

The above is the relevant content of Han Yuefu that I compiled for you. I hope it will be helpful to you.
