Daxin County is located in the southwest of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It borders Jiangzhou District of Chongzuo City to the east and west, Longan County of Nanning City to the northeast, Tiandeng County to the north, Jingxi City of Baise City to the northwest, Longzhou County to the west, and Vietnam for more than 40 kilometers. At the end of 2006, the county had a population of nearly 360,000, of which the Zhuang people accounted for more than 90%. The Zhuang people living in Daxin County are good at singing and dancing, and folk songs are an indispensable part of their lives. Whether they are taking a rest at the village head, going up the mountain to collect firewood, or working in the fields, or on the way to the market, they like to sing folk songs. They use songs to exchange ideas, communicate feelings, convey friendship, sing love, impart knowledge, praise the good and punish the ugly, encourage good and punish evil, enlighten people's hearts, promote people's progress, adjust life, and increase fun. For a long time, they have formed the traditional custom of going to the song fair, and almost every village has a song fair every year. People use songs to speak for themselves, make friends with songs, and sing songs at their fingertips, reaching the state of "everything is singing, everyone is a singer". Despite the changes of the times, folk songs are still passed down from generation to generation, becoming an indispensable spiritual food in people's lives and a precious treasure of national culture. Daxin folk songs generally belong to the folk song style. There are nearly 60 types of Daxin folk songs, which can be roughly divided into three categories: "Xi", "Pan" and "Jia". Among them, the most representative folk songs are "Gaoqiang Shilei" and "Shi Sanju" in the "Xi" type of folk songs. These two forms of folk songs are popular and widely distributed, and are the two most gorgeous folk music wonders among the many folk songs in Daxin. "Xilun" is now called "Gaoqiang Shilei", which is the carrier of folk folk songs that the Zhuang people in Daxin County have been chanting for thousands of years. "Gaoqiang Shilei" (which means the highest, brightest and most beautiful in Zhuang language) is one of the outstanding representatives of Zhuang folk songs and is unique among the folk folk songs in Guangxi. The high-pitched folk song "Shi Lei" originated from Daxin (then called it) in the Tang Dynasty, and has a history of more than a thousand years. In this long history, it has flourished in many dynasties. The Zhuang people here use songs to make friends, express their feelings of love between men and women, sing the joy of harvest, and sing the joy of festivals in their daily lives. Every spring and autumn season is the most grand folk song festival for the local Zhuang compatriots. At that time, villagers from far and near all dressed up and gathered regularly on the hillside to sing songs, sometimes singing all night for several days and nights. In 1958, during the "Great Leap Forward" and "Big Canteen" period, some people believed that "going to the song fair" was an obstacle to production, so the "song fair festival" was banned. In the "Cultural Revolution" that followed, folk songs were "sweeped away" as "four olds". It was banned and swept away, and it was neglected for twenty years. It was not restored until 1978. In 1985, it received attention and support from the local government. They strived to make the "Gaoqiang Shilei" in the song festival a national folk mountain song cultural brand. Gaoqiang mountain song "Shilei" belongs to narrative mountain songs. This type of song is relatively free and can be called a multi-sentence style, with four or five sentences at a minimum and more than 200 sentences at a maximum. Generally, the rhyme is alternated between sentences. Sometimes the first and last rhymes of the upper and lower sentences are rhymed with each other, with a total of twenty rhymes. However, in a song, no matter how long it is, the rhyme cannot be changed in the middle, and the rhyme must be the same throughout. The requirements for duets are also relatively strict. The first singer uses a certain rhyme, and the other party must sing with the same rhyme. If the first singer changes the rhyme, the other party can only change the same rhyme to answer, otherwise, the singing loses. The tone of "Shi Lei" is characterized by high pitch, loudness and harmonious duet. In the performance of "fighting singing", singers generally use different singing styles such as two men and three women, six men and eight women, and ten men and ten women, interspersed with folk love and marriage customs. "Shi Lei" originated from the townships (towns) such as Lanxu, Encheng, Taocheng, Naling, and Longmen in Daxin County. Singing folk songs is a custom passed down from generation to generation by local Zhuang compatriots for thousands of years. It is known as "everyone is a singer" and "Shi Lei" is generally divided into etiquette songs, wedding songs, harvest celebration songs, fair songs, love songs, and mourning songs. The order of etiquette songs is: welcoming songs, songs to persuade people to drink, and farewell songs; wedding songs are sung by friends of both the bride and groom to wish the bride and groom a lifetime of love, happiness, and a long life together; harvest celebration songs are sung at a dinner party when the whole village has a good harvest in the past year. The happy people sing while drinking or dancing, singing about good weather and a good harvest, and a bigger harvest in the coming year; festival songs are sung by young men and women at the festival, and either party invites the other to sing a duet first. The party that sings first usually uses a test song to test whether the other party is willing to sing with them. The lyrics usually start with a compliment. If the other party responds positively, the duet will go smoothly. If the other party does not respond after the compliment, sarcastic lyrics will be used to challenge the other party's fighting spirit. The form of the song fair begins with a singing contest and ends with one side winning or losing. The scene is fascinating and lively, and often pushes the grand occasion of the song fair to a climax; labor songs are sung during the rest time of labor or when chopping wood in the mountains, with humorous words and phrases to reduce the fatigue of labor; love songs are mostly performed in the song fair or sung together in the forest and hillsides. Young men and women express their feelings and make partners through songs; mourning songs are sung at the funeral of the elderly over 90 years old. When mourning the deceased, people sing praises for his merits and longevity when he was alive, hoping that his spirit in heaven can bless future generations. Daxin Gaoqiang folk song "Shi Lei" has become an excellent folk art form presented to the world. The "Shi Lei" singers of the county once went to Beijing Zhongnanhai in 1990 to participate in major festivals such as the National Minority Folk Song Performance and the Second and Third Guangxi Nanning International Folk Song Festival, fully demonstrating the artistic charm of Gaoqiang Shi Lei.
