A weak question: Why is the first sentence of the song "Love China" sung by teacher Song Zu Ying "56 constellations and 56 flowers"?

The first sentence of the song "Love My China" sung by Song Zu Ying is "Fifty-six constellations, Fifty-six flowers" because "Love My China" is the theme song of the large-scale cultural performance at the opening ceremony of the 4th National Minority Games held in Guangxi. When composing, the composer takes into account that the National Games is a grand gathering of minority sports. Since it is held in Guangxi, it is best to have Guangxi style, but not all Guangxi styles.

Therefore, it is similar to Guangxi in timbre as far as possible, but it is not all Guangxi, and it is innovative in tune. For example, the melody of "Fifty-six constellations, Fifty-six Flowers ……" and the interlining "Cerro Cerro" behind it have obvious Yunnan style, and the development of the whole song is very atmospheric.

Extended data:

Love My China is widely composed in the tones of ethnic minorities in Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. This song was originally a two-part style. The whole tune is lively, rhythmic and narrow. Love My China is in 4/4 time, in B key. The music structure is a three-part body, namely A+B+A+C, in which A (lead singer) is the theme of the whole song, and B and C (chorus) are the paragraphs in contrast to A. ..

The whole song is swaying and steady, showing a kind of joy of singing and dancing. Paragraph b is a comparison paragraph with the nature of brackets. There are only three notes in this passage, which has the characteristics of group dance style, and it is easy to push the song to a climax. Section C is a music section with strong contrast, which not only shows the momentum of "shouting slogans", but also shows the cheerfulness and enthusiasm of group dance.
