I once saw a senior who was obsessed with geography and travel say something like this:

Different geomorphological circles determine different ecological environments, and different ecological environments determine the people in the region. soul, character and lifestyle. That’s why I’m going to get out there and see.

It has been half a year since I came to work in Wulingyuan District of Zhangjiajie. Here there are not only beautiful mountains, good water and good food, but also beautiful and charming elder brother and elder sister. In such an environment, the "folk song culture" of the Xiangxi ethnic group that touches my heart the most is nurtured. Here, men, women, old and young, and even taxi drivers have to hum a few words when they are happy while driving. Of course, in this environment, I have also picked up a few folk songs subtly. Even when facing customers and tourists, I have to sing a song to express my feelings.

Today I was looking at the stage play "Charming Xiangxi" recorded on my mobile phone. This big play was called by director Feng Xiaogang: Only in Zhangjiajie can you see such a performance.

The local folk songs and stories inside once again stirred up the inner humanistic emotions. So I want to start recalling and recording the people and the soul of Xiangxi that intoxicated me here.

The origin of music in human society can be traced back to the very ancient prehistoric times. Before humans had language, they already knew how to use the pitch, strength, etc. of sounds to express their thoughts and feelings.

It is produced with the emergence of human beings and develops with the development of human beings. It is an art that reflects the emotions of human beings in real life.

The people of Xiangxi who love life are no exception. Many intoxicating folk songs and well-known singers were born here.

The Tujia hand-waving dance is the original sacrificial dance of the Tujia people. In places where the Tujia people live together, there is a "langchang" dedicated to hand-waving dance, called the hand-waving hall.

This is a Sangzhi folk song from Zhangjiajie. When I first heard it, I didn’t know what it meant. I just thought it was a resentful and poignant love folk song. Later I learned that there are rich meanings and stories behind this song.

It turns out that the mulberry tree and the lampstand tree in Zhangjiajie, Hunan are two completely different trees, but the lampstand tree often clings to the mulberry tree, with its branches tightly intertwined. Especially when spring comes, the breath of spring stirs up the branches of the lampstand tree. It grows hard and wraps around the branches of the mulberry tree. From then on, the two depend on each other and never separate. Therefore, the Tujia people use the images of mulberry trees and lampstand trees to express the lingering love between men and women, their dependence on each other in life and death, and their inseparability. Lang went to join the Red Army and wrote a letter home, asking his sister to remarry and not to waste his youth; and his wife wrote back and said, don't worry about your husband, fight bravely to kill the enemy, my sister's heart will never change, and she will wait for you to come home.

At the same time, this song also sings a century-old war love story in western Hunan.

It is a folk song popular among the Tujia and Miao people in Western Hunan. Young people here like to use "songs" to "talk about love". "The Man Passed by the Door" cleverly depicts the scene where a couple flirt with each other when they first fall in love, but they are still shy about talking.

Appreciation of the folk song "The Lang Passed by the Door":

The main idea of ??the lyrics: The Lang Passed by the Door , Sister, sit at home, feed your son and I will make a bowl of fragrant tea for you to drink. My mother asked in that room who you were making tea for. In my panic, I broke the bowl and burned my feet. My mother asked in that room who you were making tea for. In my panic, I broke the bowl and burned my feet.
