Naxi ancient music

"This song should only be in the sky, how can it be heard on earth?"

The aura of the plateau water city gave birth to the artistic temperament and poetic feeling of the ancient city people, so the ancient city became the city of art.

In addition to many people who are good at poetry and calligraphy, music has also been integrated into the public life of the ancient city.

Naxi ancient music is a kind of classical music widely circulated among Naxi people. Taoist rites and music, Confucian rites and music, and even lyrics and Qupai music in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties all miraculously blended into the melody of Naxi ancient music, but formed the unique charm of Naxi folk music. This is a pure and ethereal charm.

Known as the "music fossil", Naxi ancient music is the artistic crystallization of multicultural integration. It consists of Baisha Xi Music, Dongjing Music and Huangjing Music (now lost). The music of Dong Jing completely maintains the solemnity and purity of Dong Jing's music, and has a quaint and elegant charm of silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, it has a Naxi national color, which makes the human body taste a mysterious, distant and detached artistic conception. There are more than 20 pieces of music preserved, such as gossip dance, Langtaosha, Shanpo sheep and Shuilongyin. The theme of Baisha Xi Le is to express people's tragic, intense, sentimental, sad and moving inner feelings. The whole song is divided into 10 movements, such as preface and a book, beautiful white clouds and the crying of the princess.
