Ten Music and Eight Music is a music organization of amateur masses (such as farmers, small handicraftsmen, shop assistants, etc.) in Putian. What are ten tones and eight tones? "Dictionary" records: "Shifan music, a kind of folk music, the band is composed of ten kinds of instruments (including wind instruments, string instruments and percussion instruments), collectively called 'Shifan gongs and drums', or Shifan for short." It can be seen that Putian's Shiyin Troupe, It is commonly known as "Da Shi Fan", and its master is called "Mr. Shi Fan", who is very knowledgeable; it is also called "Shi Yin". "Eight Joys" has no definition found in the Dictionary. If so, then "Eight Music" may be a unique folk music organization in Putian! Ten tones and eight pieces of music were extremely popular in Putian during the Republic of China. For example, during the Spring Festival, the God-welcoming Games, the birthdays of Shegong Bodhisattvas, and when people hold festive and lively events, you can hear the music of orchestral silk and bamboo ensembles with local customs. During the Republic of China, during the annual god-welcoming competition at Gucheng Palace in Huangshi Town, more than 170 teams from the Shiyin and Ba bands participated in the competition, and the event was unprecedented. Shiyin is a form of folk musical instrument performance. Its organization is that every ten people form a team. There are two schools of Wu Shiyin and Wen Shiyin. Wu Shiyin The tenth division of Putian is usually Wu Shiyin. In Hanjiang, most villages have one team, and villages such as Tangtou, Tiezao, Dock, and Duotou have two or more teams. The division of labor of ten people in each team is as follows: one person plays the gong, two people play the transverse flute, five rahus (the hus are divided into four types: bowlhu, sihu, rulerhu and gonghu), one person plays the octagon, and the other plays the three-stringed harp. In the past, Yun Gong was a small gong with seven sides in the middle, which could produce seven tones when struck. Later, due to the loss of technology, only one small gong was struck to produce a single sound. The commonly used tunes of Puxian Opera include: "Beitai Zhuang", "Partridge Sky", "Lizhi Tower", "Feng Hezi", "Shang Xiaolou", etc. It is said that there are more than a hundred titles. The sound of Wu Shiyin is loud and sharp. Later, Wu Shiyin was divided into two factions: Southern and Northern. The Nanyang School is represented by the two villages of Huiyang and Dongdai. They were first known for their good playing, and later became famous throughout the county for their horizontal flute playing. The Beiyang School is represented by Wu Dao and Qibu Village, and is outstanding in stringed instruments. Wenshiyin is the only ancient folk music organization form in Hanjiang. It is only popular in the villages of Tangtou, Duotou and Yanshanxun. Most of its team members are older farmers. The musical instruments used preserve the characteristics of ancient instruments. There are ten types: Danpi, Tanban, Yunluo, Xiqin, Sihu, Chihu, Sanxian, Octagon, Nine-stringed Qin, and Sudi. Its melody is slow and elegant, the words are less drawl-y, and the sound is low and quiet, so it is called "Wen Shiyin". The Puxian operas performed include "Zhu Yun Fei" and so on. It is said that in the early days of liberation, only twenty-five pieces of music were preserved. Ba Le is based on the ten-tone band and is composed of percussion instruments. The people who play percussion instruments are all teenage boys and girls. The music played by young men is called Male Ba Le, and the music played by girls is called Women Ba Le. There are from five to nine men and women playing percussion instruments. The division of labor among the five people is: one person to hold the drum board, one person each to hold the large and small gongs, and one person each to hold the large and small cymbals. Regardless of whether it is a male eight-piece or a female eight-piece, in addition to percussion instruments, each is also equipped with an orchestral accompaniment team composed of eight people, so it is called eight-piece. The instruments used include horizontal flute, ruler Hu, Sihu, gonghu, sanxian, octagon, etc. (suona is also used), with strong volume. Men and women perform mainly singing (chorus), singing while walking. The Puxian opera pieces used are often sung from the two plays "Mourning" and "Spring River", as well as "Selling Paintings", "Guanyin Sweeps the Temple", etc. The Eight Music is more lively, lively, melodious and melodious than the Ten Music.
