Introduction to the content of "Fan Shen Dao Qing"

Dao Qing is a singing form that originally belonged to folk art. Taoist songs such as "Chengtian" and "Jiuzhen" originated from the Tang Dynasty, using Taoist stories as their themes to promote the idea of ??transcendence. Originally called "tuge" (that is, singing without any musical accompaniment), in the Southern Song Dynasty, fishing drums, bamboo slips and other musical instruments began to be used to accompany the rhythm, so it was called "Daoqing Yugu".

With the changes of the times, combined with folk music from various places, the theme of Taoqing has been expanded, forming a variety of folk art forms with the same origin and different currents, such as Shaanbei Taoqing and Shenchi Taoqing. , Jiangxi Daoqing, Hubei Fishing Drum, Hunan Fishing Drum, Sichuan Bamboo Qin, etc. Most Taoist performances are based on singing, supplemented by speaking, and some only sing without speaking. The singing styles are different, and there are different performance methods such as sitting singing, standing singing, stand-up singing, and counterpart singing. "Shaanbei Dao Qing", on which "Fan Shen Dao Qing" is based, is a stand-up performance that only sings but does not speak.

Emotionally, the whole song is divided into three stages. The first stage is Allegro, which is used to express the joyful mood of the people when they stand up for liberation. Telling about "the oppression of the old society" is the second stage, which changes from fast to slow to show the suffering situation of farmers. Next is the third stage, which starts from slightly faster and returns to allegro, which is used to express the people's spirit of standing up and making revolution. In Allegro, the melody is basically composed of upper and lower sentences. The upper sentence has a falling sound of "1" and the lower sentence has a falling sound of "5". This is also one of the characteristics of folk art and drama singing.
