In a residential building in the Zarut Banner area of Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, "You have finally come," 77-year-old rap artist Rasi Ao Sier has already changed into traditional Mongolian costumes at home and is waiting for the arrival of reporters. In good spirits, he shook hands with the reporters and his party, and offered Hatta to everyone.
"From an early age, I learned the epic works of Geser and the rap arts such as Urigel and Hollywood. I am almost 80 years old this year, and I am even more eager to pass on the precious Chinese culture. The old man slowly opened the conversation box and told the story of him and the treasures of Mongolian art.
Treasures of Mongolian art: Gesir, Urigel, Hollywood
Pa Jie mentioned by Lasi Aosier is a famous Mongolian rapper, born in 1902 in the Zarut Banner area of Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, and died in 1962. His most remarkable contribution in the 60 years of his life was the rescue and protection of Gesar (S)Er, the adaptation of the traditional Mongolian folk literature "Ges er Biography" into a Mongolian storytelling story, and the 80-hour rap recording. "Gesar (S)Er" is a great heroic epic collectively created by the people of the Tibetan and Mongolian nationalities, and is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Tibetan and Mongolian peoples. The Tibetans are called Gesar, and the Mongolians are called Gesar, collectively known as Gesar (Gesar). In 2006, Gesar (S) was inscribed on the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. In 2009, Gesar was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Urigel Mongolian means "storytelling", is a rap art that has been passed down for hundreds of years, has always been loved by herders, and has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage project. "In addition to the Mongolian stories such as the heroic epic of "Geser", Urigel will also create and interpret the traditional historical interpretation stories of the Han nationality, and the common people know that there are "Spring and Autumn Warring States Stories", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Fengshen Yanyi", etc., which shows that Mongolian comrades have the consciousness of Mongolian-Han unity." Lasiosir said.
Hollywood, also known as "Haolibao", which means "singing together" or "stringing up and singing", is an impromptu rap performance, the performance time is not long, most of which is temporarily played by the performers on the spot. "Don't look at me almost 80 years old, I give you a performance is my heart", Teacher Lassi said while picking up a handful of four hu rap and singing a good Noble, melodious tune, the rhythm is light and lively, the old man's voice is really a must. His Hollywood has reached a super high artistic level of pure fire and easy access, which is closely related to his 26 years of experience in Ulan Pastoral Riding.
Carry forward the spirit of Wulan Pastoral Riding, "Do not forget the original heart, do a good job in cultural inheritance"
Ulan Pastoral Riding, originally meaning "red buds" in Mongolian, means red cultural task force, and is active in rural pastoral areas. According to Teacher Lasi, he joined the Zarut Banner Ulan Pastoral Riding at the age of 16. At that time, his team consisted of twelve actors, all of whom were put on a carriage, and traveled the grassland for many years, where they were most remote, where to send songs and dances. They went to the place of the performance, ate, lived and worked with the masses. Each of them danced, sang, raped, and played everything. Teacher Lasi said that a specialty can better serve the people.
Mr. Lasi has received numerous honors in his 26-year job, and what impressed him the most was that on the evening of December 25, 1965, he performed Hollywood's "Wrangler Hero" for Premier Zhou Enlai in the Zhongnanhai Auditorium, which was praised by the Prime Minister. He was received by the Prime Minister five times and had dinner with the Prime Minister.
"I have already finished writing Hollywood, which celebrates the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, Celebrating the 70th Birthday of the Motherland. Inner Mongolia has changed too much in the past 70 years, and the people living in the countryside are now rich, thanks to the party. Teacher Lassi said.
"When I first started working, I came to the city in a Lele car from home and arrived in three days. Now it only takes 1 hour to drive and the traffic problem has been improved. Now every day to eat is as rich as the New Year's Festival. The same is true of the clothes worn, which used to be only one or two pieces a year, but now there are many clothes. But we still have to be hard and simple, president Xi also said, 'do not forget the original heart, keep in mind the mission'. He sighed.
"Grandpa Pa Jie left in 62 years, (Gesar (S)Er) I did not pass it on very well." Lassiosir said humbly, "In order to rescue it, I trained my students, and my students spoke very well." They write a lot and talk a lot about Noble. The Zarut Flag is the birthplace of the Mongolian rap arts of Urigel and Hollywood. Please help with more publicity. The now-retired Teacher Lassie is still thriving on cultural heritage, working as a cultural consultant for the local primary school and personally composing songs for the performances of the primary school students' art troupe.
"Not long ago, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Inner Mongolia, he praised Gesar (Si)er, which is the highest and greatest publicity for Mongolian rap art." He said.

In addition, in recent years, the inheritance and protection of traditional culture and art in Inner Mongolia has also been praised by artists from other countries. Like Rasi Oshir, the mongolian artist Chaogetu was a big supporter of traditional art. As a professional Humai singer, after completing his studies, he and his friends came to Inner Mongolia to perform Humai at the Mongolian Art Theater in Xiangshawan, Ordos.
"I have been working in Inner Mongolia for 3 months. When I was studying, I studied Humai, and now my job is to perform Humai. Humai makes me proud of my traditional culture. Inner Mongolia is a soil suitable for the development of traditional culture, and I want to continue to perform Humai here so that everyone can appreciate the charm of Mongolian traditional culture," Chao Getu said.
