Changhai Haozi is a kind of labor song with island characteristics popular in the Changhai area of Dalian. Changhai Haozi is rich in content and has different tunes. It is created by fishermen in the hard work of fishing life. It reflects the optimistic spirit of the majority of fishermen and is a precious treasure in the treasure house of Chinese folk music. In ancient times, due to the low level of productivity, the sea vessels used were all small boats, and there were only some minor tunes for pulling nets at the beginning. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of my country, the islands had more and more exchanges with the outside world, and the trade volume gradually increased. During the Japanese occupation, in order to support the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Team, steel, grain, and medicine from the Northeast needed to be transported to the Shandong Anti-Japanese Base, and maritime transportation became more developed. During this period, because the tonnage of the ships used was relatively large, the operating procedures were very complicated and could only be completed with unified commands, so the use of ship (fisher) people's songs was at its peak during this period. Changhai Haozi can be divided into two categories: one is the ship people's songs, which are mainly used on transport ships. The fishing boats are relatively large and the content of the songs is relatively complex; the other is the fishermen's songs, which are mainly used by fishermen for fishing. The fishing boats are relatively small and the content of the songs is relatively simple. The boatmen's songs include the songs of pedaling and pulling boats, pulling boats, holding big sails, anchoring, pushing mill gates, pulling anchors, pulling beaches, fishing water, pulling baskets, and shaking boats. The fishermen's songs include the songs of pushing boats, pulling boats, anchoring, netting, holding sails, fishing fish, and pulling fish bags. The boatmen's songs are mainly passed down by word of mouth among the boatmen. The songs are passed down from boat to boat. The Changhai songs have different musical characteristics due to different labor scenes. For example, the song of holding big sails is vigorous and bright, the song of anchoring is rough and bold, and the song of rowing is soft and melodious. Like other songs, the melody materials of Changhai songs are mostly repeated and varied, and the rhythm is generally regular and simple. The lyrics are mainly improvised, and there are also fixed singing methods due to habits. Most of them are labor call-style, with almost no actual content, only "Hu He Hai You" and so on. Some lyrics also include popular and simple words that are closely related to the labor scene, such as "Hey come up, hey pull hard, hold the tent up; ride the wind, quickly cast the net; catch more fish, so that we can exchange for food; the whole family, young and old, fill their stomachs! Hey come up, hey come up" is full of vicissitudes and optimism. The singing form is mostly one person leading and the others following, and there are also a small number of chorus and solo. The leader is the conductor of the labor, and the leading tune is mostly high-pitched and stretched, full of appeal; the chorus part is mostly the chorus of the workers, the tune is deep and powerful, with a strong rhythm, and often has a labor call-style counterpoint. The combination of leading and following depends on the labor conditions and requirements. Intense labor often uses the sentence-connected style, that is, the leader follows one sentence; light labor often uses the paragraph-connected style, that is, the leader follows one sentence. The alternation of leading and singing in tune promotes emotional exchanges among collective workers and strengthens the consistency of actions. At the same time, the resulting intervals are also convenient for regulating breathing and improvisation of lyrics by the lead singer. Changhai Haozi has a long historical value and unique cultural value. First of all, it has a long history, great influence and great appeal. In the production process, the haozi plays a role in inspiring enthusiasm, invigorating spirits, and unity and cooperation; secondly, it reflects the life of fishermen, and its lyrics reflect the social consciousness and living conditions of each era; thirdly, its high-pitched and beautiful singing provides rich materials for the creation of songs in later generations. Over the years, provincial, municipal and local music workers have created many popular and excellent songs based on Changhai Haozi, some of which have won awards at the national, provincial and municipal levels. With the improvement of productivity, the popularization of mechanized production and the impact of modern civilization, haozi is rarely used in modern fishery production and life. Most of the people who can sing boat (fisher) people's haozi are elderly people in their seventies and eighties. Most of the haozi leaders have passed away. Now there are only a few dozen people in Changhai County who can shout haozi. This ancient art is facing extinction. In order to better protect this ancient custom, the Changhai County Party Committee and the government seized the favorable opportunity of the national intangible cultural heritage protection work and formulated corresponding protection measures. Exhibit the original protection results, archive and display the materials excavated in the past; comprehensively collect and organize the existing folk songs, interview, record, and videotape old fishermen, and register them in different categories; establish the Changhai Haozi Research Society, organize composers from Dalian and surrounding areas, and conduct regular or irregular research and creation activities; establish an amateur fisherman singing team. With the existing actors of the cultural center and the troupe as the backbone, and with art lovers as the auxiliary, a singing team of about 3,040 people was established. Use the "Millennium Sailing Boat" stage at Fisherman's Wharf to perform authentic performances and provide dynamic and continuous protection. In 2005, Changhai Haozi was included in the Liaoning Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Compared with the Chuanjiang Haozi, which was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in 2006, Changhai Haozi, as an important representative of Beihai Hao (a ship horn popular in Dalian, Yingkou, Yantai, and Qingdao), is not inferior in terms of historical value or artistic value. The relationship between Changhai Haozi and the labor form it depends on is as close as "parasitism". As this labor form dominated by manpower is replaced by mechanization, it can be said that Changhai Haozi has almost lost its "mother body" for survival, and the conditions for its survival are no longer available.
