Where are the flowers? Are they folk songs?

Huaer, also known as Juvenile and Nocturnal, is a folk song among Hui, Shang, Salar, Dongxiang, Bao 'an and Han nationalities in Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai. It is a plateau folk song with simple style, beautiful tune, strong emotional expression, bright artistic conception and strong local flavor, which is deeply loved by people of all ethnic groups. "Flower" is the best form for people of all ethnic groups to express their feelings. Whether it is Tian Wen's brother who works, his sister who pulls weeds, a suffering person who goes abroad to make a living, his brother who travels thousands of miles, rafters in Huang Mu, hunters, shepherds and craftsmen, they are all creators and singers of "flowers" and "teenagers". In work and life, they often can't help but "spread" those "teenagers" from the heart. In the gap between work, they looked up at the mountains and clouds, as if they were in a landscape painting. People let go of their rough throats and hummed local folk songs, which were rough and astringent, but I couldn't keep the true feelings in the songs. Even though life is hard, the innate feelings I have gained have not been destroyed by the repression of life. This is a song in the hearts of plateau people.

"Huaer" is the abbreviation of Song Dynasty, and "Huaer" is short and meaningful. It is not only simple, concise and meaningful, but also good at choosing accurate, vivid and vivid eyes to express complete content. A common feature of Flowers is that it can be passed down from mouth to mouth. The language is popular and fluent, fresh and clear, with bright rhythm and rich musicality. It is catchy, pleasant to hear and concise as jade. In addition, bright colors, images describing scenery, poetic and picturesque, arouse the imagination of listeners, and have their own rhyme and interest. Gan, Qing and Ning are determined by the closed feudal society and the specific geographical environment of living in the hinterland. People here have arduous patience and unpretentious lifestyle. Therefore, the tragic style, high-pitched voice and simple form of Flowers are all born out of the singing of nomadic people, which is different from the decadent sounds of other folk songs. Although the theme of singing is also the content of love, the bold and heroic spirit revealed between the lines of timbre fully shows the clear and frank "Northwest Spirit", which is quite different from people in other places and Europeans.

The content of "flower" includes "flower" to pour out grievances, "flower" to express love, "flower" to resist feudal marriage and "flower" to publicize revolution. ...

The yearning, ideal and pursuit of working people of all ethnic groups for life are fully expressed in Flowers.

Most of the "flowers" that pour out grievances expose the dark reality of increasingly serious class oppression and class exploitation, and curse and attack the sins of the ruling class. Complaining about flowers is a bitter song that condenses the blood and tears of the poor. Like a mirror, it faithfully reflects the dark reality of society at that time and tells the tragic life under the cruel exploitation of the ruling class.

A whole year of blood and sweat,

Not enough to pay official food;

Call "Hu Da" three times and cry for God.

When will the bitter days end?

There are still many flowers complaining like this. The song contains the grief and indignation that the poor people are still unable to pay the official grain and taxes after years of suffering, pours out the profound hatred and strong curse to the official court, and expresses the people's strong resistance.

The name "flower" comes from thousands of favorites. Young men and women living on the northwest plateau often use folk songs as a means to express their feelings and love to each other.

In the song, the man calls the woman "flower" and the woman calls the man "teenager".

Therefore, the noun of calling lover has become the name of this kind of folk songs. The two emotional names "Hua 'er" and "Juvenile" also reflect the basic characteristics of this kind of folk songs in content. Therefore, love songs account for a large proportion in The Wall. Love Flower takes love life as its content, but love, as the content of people's life, is closely related to other social life. It is also a window of social life, through which all levels of society are displayed. Therefore, the life reflected in the love Flower and the thoughts and feelings expressed are much richer and broader, including praising gorgeous youth, expressing passionate love, opposing feudal arrangements and class oppression, and pursuing freedom of marriage.

Calling "flower" a "teenager" obviously shows one of the contents of love "flower", that is, praising gorgeous youth, which is the lover's praise of each other's youth, appearance and personality in the early stage of love, in order to express his inner love.

Song is the expression of the mind. Flower is compared by the singer as "the truth" and "the key to happiness", which combines praise with her implicit courtship intention.

In the old society, working people were forced to make a living, left their homes and went out to live, and there were many hard jobs such as porters and clerks, which led to where you would go as lovers or lovers. Therefore, the "flowers" that express the feelings of missing and parting are like mushrooms urged by rain. For example:

Semi-circular pot baked steamed bread,

Smoke enveloped Zhuangzi,

Holding hands to see my brother off,

Clear your tears and wash your throat.

The parting of lovers or lovers is the most touching moment. Tears Wash Throat expresses the pain of parting incisively and vividly, and reflects certain social factors in helpless emotions.

In the old society, the marriage of young men and women, because of the bondage of "parents' orders and the words of the media", often can't get what they want, and people who love each other can't combine, and the combination is often disproportionate, which has staged a series of love tragedies. "Hua Er" and "Jiao Jiao Daughter" are based on a sad love story circulating among the people, compiled by a blind fortune teller and widely sung among the people.

Jiao Jiao's daughter is a famous local beauty. After marriage, husband and wife love and respect each other. This caused her mother-in-law's dissatisfaction. This year, it was his turn to go out for military service, and her husband was enlisted. When her husband left, he felt uneasy about his beloved wife. When he left, he politely asked his mother to be kind to his beautiful daughter. His mother made a false promise and her husband said goodbye to this beautiful girl with tears in his eyes.

After her husband left, her mother-in-law thought it was time to abuse Jiao Jiao's daughter and ordered her to feed the sheep to the pigs every day, treating her as a present person. If she is not satisfied, she whips her, and Jiao Jiao's daughter is black and blue and miserable. A beautiful girl can't stand this kind of abuse and abuse and wants to go back to her parents' house to escape for a while. But her mother-in-law found a lot of things for her to do, delaying time and not letting her go back to her family. Mother-in-law sings:

"Three buckets and three liters of lai seeds are yellow, please go again."

So the beautiful girl had to plow, sow, fertilize, weed and harvest in the boundless fields alone with tears, and sang sadly:

"The elder brother of the moon, give me light! Brother Magpie, come with me! "

Finally, after the rapeseed was harvested, her mother-in-law was merciful and allowed the beautiful girl to return to her family.

However, her mother-in-law lives with a beautiful girl:

"Tossing and turning in a shabby fur coat, wearing a rotten felt hat, covered in hides and hooves (clumsy leather boots made of Tibetan cowhide), driving an old dog and pulling a broken car back to her mother's house."

After Jiao Jiao's daughter came back from her family, her mother-in-law abused her more and more. Jiao Jiao's daughter couldn't stand her mother's tea poison and hanged herself in the Woods while working in the barren hills. That night, the moon was as bright as a picture, so the shadow of a beautiful girl was still reflected in the Borneo tree in the moonlight. This sad legend is widely circulated among the people.
