🎧  Listen to Introduction

Fengli Fishermen's Song, a traditional music project in the third batch of representative projects of Nantong's municipal intangible cultural heritage. Fishermen's Song is a kind of labor song in the Chinese folk song genre. It is sung by fishermen in the process of collectively setting nets, fishing, and storing in warehouses on rivers, lakes, and seas. It is mainly popular in coastal areas where fishing is concentrated in China. Fishermen's Song is a way to unite people. When fishing, a fisherman sings a solo. The first person sings a sentence and the next person follows. This is the fisherman's song. The lyrics of the fisherman's song are generally dominated by labor calls. There are short sentences in the leading sentence that command labor. Impromptu words and sentences that are inspired by the scene are rare. Fengli Fishermen's Song has distinct local characteristics. It reflects a kind of life and production mood. It is an oral literature that is gradually accumulated and created in production and life. It is not only rich in marine flavor and fishing village customs, but also contains profound life philosophy and life knowledge. What is more important is that some of the fishermen's songs around the port are created by fishermen specifically for imparting knowledge. These fishermen's songs, which have artistic value, are closely related to the theme of "sea". Through artistic techniques and oral transmission, they pass down knowledge about ocean navigation, ocean life, ocean weather, as well as boat nets and tools, fishing habits, crew responsibilities, etc. from generation to generation in the form of ballads.
