In every village and hamlet of Changyang, "people can hear singing on the mountain and wind and percussion music can be heard in nearby villages". The pleasant sound of wind and percussion music always resounds with the customs and customs of the Tujia people, weddings and funerals, and festivals. The unearthed Six Dynasties pottery soul jars are well-carved, indicating that Changyang wind and percussion music had formed a certain scale of wind and percussion music bands more than 1,500 years ago. More than 500 pieces of music are still circulated among the people. Wind and percussion music is passed down from master to apprentice, and passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Changyang wind and percussion music is a combination of wind and percussion, so it is called "wind and percussion music", and it is called "xiangjiang band" among the people. The ensemble dominated by percussion is called "gong and drum music", and it is commonly known as "beating family business" among the people. The related instruments of Changyang wind and percussion music are two trombones of the same pitch and shape, suona, and earth flute, which are combined with percussion instruments. According to their performance functions, they are divided into seven types: hall tune, major tune, palace tune, flute tune, vegetable tune, funeral tune and comprehensive tune. Changyang wind and percussion music has two structural forms: single song and combination. Single song is generally shorter, with smooth and bright rhythm. The melody is smooth and graceful, the music often jumps, and the melody movement is mostly in the form of step. Changyang wind and percussion music has a unique style. It is not only closely connected with the sister arts in folk music, but also reflects the inherent basic style of Changyang folk music. It also absorbs music from all over the world, absorbs it from the "Tangdiao", and gives it localization, thus further enriching and developing Changyang wind and percussion music. The "Shifan Drum" in wind and percussion music consists of more than ten different tunes, and their ending modes are different, but each tune is connected to a relatively unified, Tujia-style Shangyin ending phrase, so that each set of songs has both emotional ups and downs and contrasting changes, and maintains the locality and coordination of the tune style. During the performance, the whole piece of music is graceful and beautiful, and its momentum is tragic and majestic. It is a "treasure" in Changyang wind and percussion music. Tangdiao has two forms: Sanqu and Suiqu. Its melody features: first, the ending sound of Zhengshang accounts for the majority, and second, the melody dominated by Yujie sound is prominent. "Tangdiao" has a close relationship with folk activities, such as various "caidiao" suites played before banquets, "kediao" in various activities, and different sets of tunes played with different instruments. Tangdiao is not only the most characteristic of Tujia folk songs, but also the best among Changyang wind and percussion music. Since 1990, Changyang wind and percussion music has attracted the attention of experts and scholars inside and outside the province. It provides valuable resources for the study of folk music. It was included in the "Chinese National Folk Music Collection". As the editor-in-chief of "Collection" and famous musician Li Ling wrote for the front of Changyang wind and percussion music: "Carry forward the music culture of ethnic minorities to enrich our country's music art." It is somewhat regrettable that with the development of social economy and the renewal of production and lifestyle, as well as the influence of various cultures, the living environment of Changyang wind and percussion music has been greatly impacted. Therefore, it is urgent to take measures to protect it. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.) (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
