author:Xinmin Evening News

After the first day of the first year, fifteen came. The first month of the lunar calendar is the first month of the lunar calendar; and the ancients also called "night" as "curfew", so the fifteenth day of the first month is called the Lantern Festival. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the night of the first full moon of the year, is also the night of the restoration of the yuan and the rejuvenation of the earth, which people celebrate and the continuation of the celebration of the new spring.

Qin Lailai: The Lantern Festival in the sound of strings

In ancient times, the Lantern Festival was a good day for talented people to meet in pairs, and there were often love stories on the opera stage that "the crowd looked for him for a thousand hundred degrees, and suddenly looked back, but the person was in the middle of the lights".

The moon is hanging high in the sky, the colorful lights in the world are thousands of lights, people go out to admire the moon, burn the lights and set off the flames, guess the riddles, eat the Lantern Together, reunite with the family, celebrate the festival, and enjoy the harmony.

From ancient times to the present, the custom of the masses of the people making Lantern Festivals has also been reflected in many evaluation programs.

Mr. Xu Yunzhi, a member of the lyrics, sang "Three Laughs and Zhuzhi Mountain to See the Lights", which sang the scene of the lanterns of the ancient people. The singing voice uses the "chaotic chicken crying" tone, and the content is to sing the content and name of the ancient drama text, as well as various legends and allusions, vividly.

Coincidentally, another lyricist, Mr. Yan Xueting, also has a singing part "Look at the Lights" in the modern novella "Luohan Qian", which is also sung in a "chaotic chicken cry" tune. "In the distance, I could smell the sound of gongs and drums, and the bustle came to adjust the dragon lamp. Three good wives, four aunts, a large group of men, women and children. Looking east, looking west, Ah You touched acquaintances and sat down to watch the dragon lamp. "At the beginning of the singing, it vividly depicts the lively scene of folk watching dragon lanterns.

The singing voice that came down, "All the light, the light is exhausted, the ping-pong, the ping-pong, the gong and drum are noisy, and the sky will be raised." There are two big red flags in front of it, and there are hard card lights in the back. There are still words in the hard card light wave, and the sixteen big words have a deep meaning. Supporting the front line, liberating the whole country, defending the world, and lasting peace requires the people of the whole country to turn around. "Walking through a group of public grain teams, all of them are young. Four men and four women, dressed in brand new clothes. Eight flat shoulders are all in unison, shouldering the public grain and smiling. "The lively scene of the newly liberated rural people celebrating the Lantern Festival is depicted vividly." Almost the same singing voice, showing the same theme, compared with the difference in the lyrics of "Three Laughs" and "Luohan Qian", you can see the changes of the times, but also deeply reflect the adaptability of the critics to adapt to the new society and embrace the new era.

The "chaotic chicken cry" tune, which comes from a folk minor key, is often used in the singing of the lyrics. "Chicken Crying" is good at narrative and has a strong sense of rhythm, which requires singers to be complete and coherent. There has always been a "one song and a hundred songs" in the evaluation and bomb industry, just like the Peking Opera circle, a play "Shilang Visits the Mother", most of the famous Peking Opera artists have sung it, which is really each with its own strengths and is beautiful. The same singing segment, different actors, will sing their own different flavors.

In addition to the above two people, Mr. Liu Tianyun also often sings "chaotic chicken crying", and has such a singing section in the novella "Lin Chong" and the long-form lyric "Three Laughs".

The "Fang Qing Looks at the Lamp" in the long-form "Pearl Tower", whether it is the singing tone or the literary nature of the lyrics, is completely different, because it sings the "Fallen Prince" of "The Great Heavenly Official Jia Gongzi, the Old King's Grandson of the Tang Dynasty".

This song adopts the form of Fang Qing and Servant Er's Q&A, and through the explanation of the twelve lamps of "Fishing Tree Cultivation Reading", "Wind Flower Snow Moon" and "Wine Colored Wealth", it unfolds into one allusion, rich and interesting content. From Yan Ziling, who fishes for the river beach, to Meng Haoran who treads snow and looks for plums... Twelve lamps, twelve words, twelve allusions, strong literary, benefited the audience a lot. The old Fa head talked about it for a long time, listening to "Pearl Tower", and Bai Ding wore a Confucian scarf.

Lyricists Zhu Xueqin and Mr. Xue Huijun played and sang this song, which can be called a must. Today's outstanding actors Gao Bowen and Lu Jinhua also have interpretations, and it is the "Xue tune" singing voice that inherits it, which raises people's eyes and ears.

The Lantern Festival is also a romantic festival, and the Lantern Festival provides an opportunity for unmarried men and women to meet in the feudal traditional society. Young girls in feudal society are not allowed to go out to free activities, but they can go out to play together during the festival, and the Lantern Festival flower lantern is just an opportunity for friendship, and unmarried men and women can also find objects for themselves by the way. During the Lantern Festival, it is also the time for young men and women to meet their lovers. Like China's traditional opera "Chen SanWu Niang", it is said that the hero and heroine meet at first sight to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival; so the Lantern Festival is also China's "Valentine's Day".

Then again, it is a beautiful thing to send the children of decent people out, be happy to appreciate the lights, and have the opportunity to find an object; if the heart is not correct, the brain is twisted, just like Wang Hu, the son of a high-ranking official, and finally "loses his wife and folds the soldiers." In the long bullet poem "Three Laughs , Book of Hangzhou", Zhu Zhishan bet on Zhou Wenbin's Lantern Festival, betting that Zhou Wenbin would dress up as a woman, and Zhu Zhishan would meet in person, but could not recognize each other. Wang Laohu went out to see the lamp, saw that Zhou Wenbin was so beautiful, and snatched him into the palace as a beautiful woman, but instead became a marriage between Zhou Wenbin and Wang Laohu's sister. Speaking by the famous lyricist Liu Tianyun, it is full of fun and gimmicks. The real so-called "Wang Tiger robbed his relatives, made a fool of himself, lost his wife and folded his soldiers; Zhou Wenbin cleverly dressed up, made a fake come true, and married his wife Wang Xiuying." ”

This year, in order to prevent and control the new crown epidemic, it is not appropriate to go out to celebrate, it is better to sit at home, celebrate the New Year with the whole family, and make a Lantern Festival in the sound of strings. (Qin Lailai)
