"When the frost comes, the night wind is cool, and the little stars shine on the sad heart; Lang is going to go out to catch a horse, leaving his sister at home so lonely..." The seventh issue of the "Folk Song Grand View" - "Where the River Flows" Yunnan classical folk song music sharing meeting, co-sponsored by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, China News Network, China News Service Yunnan Branch, and the Propaganda Department of the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, will appear on China News Network on the 28th. At that time, Zhou Meirun, who has the reputation of "Prince of the Midu Lantern", will bring a "Horse Chasing Tone" to netizens at home and abroad, singing the millennium aria of the long horse gang. The horse gang is the name of a group of horse drivers and their mules and horses organized according to the folk custom. The caravan is a unique mode of transportation in southwest China, and it is also the main means of transportation of the ancient Tea-Horse Road. In the arduous journey year after year, in order to express what they have seen, heard, feelings and joys, the horse drivers created colorful folk tunes, which are collectively referred to as "horse driving tunes". Dali Midu, where Zhou Meirun is located, is the only place to pass through the ancient tea-horse road. It is popular with colorful horse driving tunes and lantern songs. It is also known as "the hometown of folk songs", "the hometown of folk songs" and "the hometown of lanterns". The famous Chinese folk song "The Little River Flows" is based on the Midu folk song "Shepherding Tune" and "The Moon Comes out to Brighten the Wang". This time, the "Grand View of Folk Songs" entered Midu, and Zhou Meirun sang the "Horse Chasing Tune", which was intended to show the unique local culture of the horse gang. "Midu is the only place along the ancient tea-horse road. The caravan from south to north not only brings prosperity here, but also brings rich and colorful culture including horse driving tunes," Zhou Meirun said. In the song "Horse Chasing Tune", Zhou Meirun sang the horse chasers' reluctance to love and their responsibility to their families; The first half is sad and tortuous; The latter part is lyrical and high-pitched. Zhou Meirun said that the horse driving tune mainly reflected the life, feelings and wishes of the horse drivers. Some describe the miserable life of the barbarians, some express the reluctance to leave, and some are used to explain the experience of horse driving; Some tunes are high-pitched, some melodious, and some sad. "These minor tunes are the aria dedicated by the horse drivers to the earth as well as to themselves." In Zhou Meirun's view, the horse driving tunes are like a campfire on a winter night, which warms the tired body of the hikers and also illuminates the hearts of the pedestrians in front. Today, although the ancient Tea-Horse Road and the caravan have gone, Zhou Meirun believes that the culture and spirit of the caravan will continue forever. "The caravans spend most of their time in the wild. Facing the dangerous environment, they always maintain the qualities of courage, perseverance and hard work." Zhou Meirun said that this spirit is worth inheriting. (Outlook New Era)
