Gangu Xiaoqu
Gangu Xiaoqu has been widely spread in the territory since the Qing Dynasty. Gangu Xiaoqu is divided into two styles according to the region: the East and West Sichuan areas and the South and North Mountain areas. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Fuqiang scholars Song Yao, Liu Liguang, Wu Jiong and others liked to play and sing Xiaoqu, but they did not sing with folk artists. Only a few scholars sang together. Well-known ones include Ren Danshan, Xie Junshan and others. Many old songs of Gangu Xiaoqu were brought from Shaanxi. There are dozens of tunes of Gangu Xiaoqu. In the early days of liberation, Huang Jianru, a music teacher at Gangu Middle School, began to record the tunes of Xiaoqu in simple notation, and was the first person to record Gangu Xiaoqu. In 1955, he engraved and printed "Meihu Music Popular in Gangu". In 1981, the county cultural center engraved and printed "Gangu Folk Xiaoqu Collection". The instruments of Xiaoqu are mainly sanxian, yangqin, banhu, erhu, bamboo tiles, and pingling. Gangu Xiaoqu retains a strong local flavor, with delicate performance, graceful tune, strict rhythm, steady speed, smooth melody, and melodious and lyrical. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
