The origin of the Chongming song "Ten Platforms".
Recently, the author read the book "Selected Songs of Chongming" edited and published by Mr. Huang Xiao, and I felt very cordial. Because the author is a native of Chongming, and he has liked Chongming songs since he was a child. In this "Selected Edition", the author saw the Chongming mountain song "Ten Platforms" with a strong local flavor, which was generally old in the old society, and most of the old farming barbarians could hum a few words.
In line with the purpose of protecting the intangible cultural heritage of Chongming District, Mr. Huang Xiao respects history, respects facts, and removes resistance, and includes this unremarkable work in his compilation collection.
Chongming Island has a history of more than 1,400 years, and it has been more than 70 years since the liberation of New China. Even if some literature and art lovers can sing this song, they only know one and don't know the other. Today, the author will give a general idea of the origin of the Chongming mountain song "Ten Platforms".
The lyrics of "Ten Platforms" are more colorful and colorful, involving a wide range, the historical period can be said to be ancient and modern, and the time span is from Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to all dynasties. Don't think that these lyrics have Zhang Guan Li Dai, upside down and four, seven ❌ (read Hua) entangled Cai Gang, Donggua vine and eggplant in the field of eggplant, but in the old days, for those who were illiterate and only used as chicken feet and feet, it was not easy to compile this song by reminiscing in their free time.
Because the tune of Chongming Mountain Song has a long history and is popular, it is deeply loved by men, women and children living on Chongming Island. So those who have heard the storyteller in the teahouse shop say that a certain chapter and title in the content of big books, storytelling, commentary, cross talk or stories have become a certain lyric in the Chongming mountain song "Ten Platforms": there are also creative staff who make a certain plot as a lyric. In the old society, those illiterate fishcatchers and farmers got together in their spare time, and spent a lot of effort to form the lyrics of "Ten Platforms" word by word, paragraph after paragraph. In order to compose the lyrics, they have peach blossoms, lotus flowers, and chrysanthemums that bloom at a certain time of the year, and these flowers represent the working people's yearning for a better life (peach blossoms represent the beginning of a new life; The lotus flower means that he is innocent and spotless; Chrysanthemums indicate that a good harvest is in sight); There are also important seasons in the twenty-four solar terms of agricultural time, such as the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, the Qiqiqiao Festival (Qixi Festival) in early July, and the Lantern Festival.
Judging from the entire content of "Ten Platforms", it embodies the fine virtues of the working people in promoting good and suppressing evil, and distinguishing between love and hate.
Although this Chongming song is not like a poem in the eyes of those literati and ink writers, it does not rhyme and does not fight, and it does not ascend to the elegant hall, but it is deeply loved by the working people on Chongming Island.
