The area where Xishan Jiuge is spread is the western mountainous area of Chencang District, which is the intersection of Qinling Mountains and Longshan Mountains. Longhai Railway and National Highway 310 pass through it, which is the main east-west transportation channel in my country. The mountains here are deep and the Weihe River is surging. The people have been simple and honest since ancient times, and the ancient charm still exists. Historical Origin Xishan Jiuge may have originated from the palace, spread among the people, and prevailed in the Han Dynasty. There is no historical record. Fenggeling Town is located at the westernmost end of our province, across the river from Sancha Town (also known as Wuzhai Town) in Beidao District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. It is the intersection of Qinling Mountains and Longshan Mountains, the joint point of the pre-Qin "Chencang Weishui Road", the location of the ancient military fortress "Benshiguan", and an important post station on the ancient Silk Road. Historically, the transportation here is developed. Business travelers from Chengdu in the south, Lanzhou and Xining in the west, and Xi'an in the east all camped and stayed in hotels here. It has formed a great fusion and aggregation of the cultures of the east, west, south and north, and at the same time endowed Xishan Jiuge with the characteristics of tolerance. In recent years, CCTV, Hong Kong Phoenix TV, Baoji TV and Baoji Daily and other media have introduced special topics, which have attracted social attention. There are many kinds of drinking songs in Xishan, and there are different drinking songs at different times and occasions. Only dozens of them have been passed down to this day. There are "Queque Suanzhang" sung when celebrating the harvest, "Da Jili" sung when friends gather, "Niaodongfang" sung when weddings are celebrated, and "Shoushou Song" sung when the elderly celebrate their birthdays. From the source of the lyrics, drinking songs mainly come from people's understanding of production and life. The content of this kind of drinking song is humorous and mainly an extension of local folk songs; such as "Queque Suanzhang", "Niaodongfang" and "Niaowugeng". Some of them are also derived from folk songs; such as "Shigouzi Carrying Water" and "Female Virtuous". There is also a small part of the works of ancient literati, such as "Luoyang Bridge". Basic characteristics The drinking songs circulated in the Fenggeling area of the western mountainous area of our district are the most original, long-standing and rich folk mass entertainment art. It is a kind of drinking song with strong regional characteristics, which is formed by blending the original folk songs, folk songs and dances with boxing and drinking orders. In terms of content, it mainly comes from people's perception and understanding of production and life. The content of this kind of drinking song is humorous and humorous, educating people, and has profound meaning. A part of it comes from folk songs, with simple and smooth lyrics, rich content, and beautiful singing; another small part is the works of ancient literati, with neat lyrics and rigorous singing. From the perspective of melody and pronunciation, Xishan Drinking Song is a great aggregation of Chinese culture, with local social fire tunes, Guanzhong Meihu tunes, Shaanxi folk songs, Qinghai flower tunes, Sichuan call tunes, etc. There are southern and northern tunes. The good tunes, lyrics and drinking orders from all over the country are integrated to form a special folk song style drinking song. The main value is that it has a long history. Xishan Drinking Song may have originated from the palace, spread among the people, and prevailed in the Han Dynasty. It has been enduring and has research value. 2. Rich content. Xishan Jiuge may have originated from court etiquette and spread among the people. It has absorbed the essence of folk songs and polls from all over the country. It has rich and colorful content and has formed its own unique style. It belongs to the original ecological rap art. 3. Diverse forms. Xishan Jiuge is different from the drinking songs of ethnic minorities in my country. It is suitable for many occasions. It is not a one-song song for one occasion. Drinkers can sing it impromptu, and the lyrics can also be improvised. Humor, ridicule and jokes are all art, which has certain promotion value. Endangered status Xishan Jiuge, an ancient original ecological folk rap art form circulated in the western mountainous areas, is in a worrying state: First, too many have been lost. Jiuge is a form of mass self-entertainment and art. It is passed down in the form of oral memorization and singing from generation to generation. The artists of the previous generations have passed away one after another, and the descendants often lose some in the inheritance memory. In the 1980s, the Municipal Art Museum conducted a census of mountain folk songs and retained a batch. Second, there is a lack of successors. The popularization of modern advanced cultural and entertainment forms has made fewer and fewer people sing. In addition, the older generation of artists had limited cultural literacy, making it difficult to collect and organize the songs. (There are two reasons: first, the lyrics and music of wine songs are very random, and there are many forms of singing, which is difficult to unify; second, the singing styles of wine songs are flexible and changeable, making it difficult to organize and record them.) Third, the scope of singing is gradually shrinking.
