Jia Ling's sketches, Jiang Kun's cross-talk, this year's Spring Festival Gala many programs mentioned Cantonese, Shandong dialect, Shanghainese and other local dialects. "You can see the mountains, you can see the water, and you can remember the nostalgia" is the goal of the construction of beautiful villages, and rural culture is the softest memory in the depths of people's hearts. Returning to our hometown in the New Year, the old trees at the mouth of the village, the millstones at the mouth of the street, and the strong rural tone are the "New Year's flavor" that we have always thought about.
The strong hometown sound carries the memory of our hometown, makes our soul home, is our root and spiritual home. When you meet a fellow in the field who speaks a familiar accent, that kind of intimacy will come to mind. China has a vast territory, a long history, and a deep culture, not to mention the diverse ethnic languages, but also countless accents of Chinese in various places, which is a cultural feature worth remembering and inheriting.
Our local hometown sound in Xiong'an also has a very strong local character. Although the geographical area of Rongcheng, Anxin and Xiongxian counties is not particularly large, the difference in township sounds is obvious. For example, at the junction of Anxin and Xiongxian, there is a Zhao Beikou town, and among the residents, some speak the Xiongxian accent, some speak the Anxin accent, one town, two accents, is it very interesting?
The seven fangxiang townships of Renqiu City, the towns of Gou Gezhuang and Yanzhou, and the longhua townships of Gaoyang County were merged into xiong'an new district, enriching the "township sound database" of xiong'an new district. There are also more than 100,000 foreign builders to support the construction of Xiong'an, bringing more accents, which enrich the humanistic characteristics of Xiong'an and reflect the openness and inclusiveness of a highly vibrant state-level new area.
Xiong'an New Area pays special attention to cultural construction, proposing "no cultural inheritance, no Xiong'an future". Since the beginning of 2018, Xiong'an New Area has carried out the "Special Action Plan for Remembering Homesickness" throughout the territory, and a number of nostalgic relics that carry the memories of the people of Xiong'an New District and embody the traditional cultural genes of the New Area have been registered and archived, forming a digital coordinate general map with a total of 2367 "nostalgia points".
Considering that "xiangyin" belongs to intangible cultural heritage, it is necessary to form a special protection and inheritance mechanism and build a database. The "Voice of China" channel of the Central Radio and Television Corporation has a program called "Recording China with Sound", which forms a database of sounds. Then we can consider the construction of the "Record Xiong'an with Sound" sound database.
Of course, the revitalization and promotion of rural sounds is where the vitality lies. Some township music exhibition and performance activities can be held to let more people pay attention to and participate in the inheritance and protection of rural music.
Encourage self-media to promote and inherit Xiong'an township sounds. Many folk culture people use Xiong'an township voice to tell stories and traditions on platforms such as short videos and WeChat public accounts, which are widely sought after by fans, and these behaviors need encouragement and support. Our WeChat public account "Xiong Media Agency" has launched a series of articles "Xiongxian Accent Storytelling", which you can listen to and watch.
Xiong'an is a model for China's urban construction, and with the export of Xiong'an's experience, Xiong'an culture will also broadcast in all directions. Perhaps one day, Xiong'an's rural tone will also become a symbol of "fashion" similar to Cantonese.
