Xingguo, the cradle of generals located in southern Jiangxi, is also known as the "hometown of folk songs". Due to the unique geographical environment and Hakka background, Xingguo people often use folk songs to express their inner feelings, forming the unique Xingguo folk songs. There is a ballad circulating in the local area: "Can sing folk songs and sing songs, can weave silk and shuttle. Luo Yin, a scholar, created a songbook, one sentence for sister and one sentence for brother." It tells the long history of Xingguo folk songs. Many experts and scholars believe that it was created by Luo Yin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty. There are also records of Taishang hermits and Shandu Muke dancing and singing in historical materials. Su Dongpo also wrote a poem for them, "Muke in the mountains understands chanting poems". Folk songs were originally songs that mountain people sang to each other in the fields and forests. In the Song Dynasty, "Jiao Sha" spread from western Fujian to Xingguo. In order to attract more audiences, the masters introduced Xingguo folk songs into "Jiao Sha", which was divided into two parts: one part was ritual activities, and the other part was entertainment, that is, singing folk songs. Gradually, the forms of Xingguo folk songs became more diverse, with characters, plots, stories, and performances. Then, there appeared male and female shamans and shamans (men dressed as women), and gradually penetrated into folk activities such as temple fairs, weddings, house building, and birthday celebrations. So far, Xingguo folk songs have shown two parallel and intertwined trends of common development: one is the impromptu singing in the mountains and fields, and the other is the indoor entertainment singing of professional singers. During the Second Civil Revolutionary War, Xingguo folk songs became a powerful propaganda weapon in the Soviet area, encouraging batches of people to devote themselves to the cause of communism. In 1996, the Ministry of Culture officially named Xingguo the "Hometown of Folk Songs". Xingguo folk songs have a strong flavor of life and various forms, including solo, duet, three-way iron, joint singing, round singing; there are lock songs, pan songs, fighting songs, guessing flowers, throwing Guanyin, embroidered slings, vines wrapped around trees, and trees wrapped around vines. According to the performance form, there are mainly the following types: singing in the mountains and fields, which changes according to the mood, scenery and people, and the content covers love songs, production, life, current affairs, etc.; dancing shamans, divided into Nanhe folk songs, one is love songs, the other is funny songs with gags, sung by shamans and shamans, and Donghe folk songs, that is, blessing songs; folk songs, weddings, funerals, temple fairs, birthdays, house building, children's full moon, etc., the singers are mostly professional singers; narrative folk songs, mostly one question and one answer, one positive and one negative duet, with a strong story, often around a certain theme; singing competition, singers gather to compete, test their wits and intelligence; staged new folk songs, mostly adapted performance folk songs and folk operas. In the long-term evolution, Xingguo folk songs have formed a unique personality and style. In summary, there are roughly the following aspects: there is a complete and relatively fixed singing program. Most mountain songs are in the form of seven-character four-line songs, while mountain songs sung indoors are of any length. At the beginning of each song, there is a sentence "Aiyale" as the opening word, and then one or two metaphors are used to start the song and set the rhyme. The belly part of the song can be long or short, ranging from one or two sentences to dozens or even hundreds of sentences, with ups and downs in the singing, and a well-arranged rhythm. The first sentence of the ending uses "heart and liver style" (heart and liver brother, heart and liver sister, nowadays more often use comrade brother, comrade sister) as a response, followed by a finishing touch, commonly known as "killing board". The singer (mainly referring to singers singing indoors) holds a small gong in his hand and strikes the gong in the middle of the dragging part to take a short break. Improvisation, narrative, and mass. Xingguo mountain songs are good at narration, and can even sing the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "Singing has never had a songbook, and the tricky skills of the spirits test the talent of the belly." It is basically improvisation, spoken casually, and depends entirely on the singer's singing talent and wisdom. There are many forms of singing. As long as the singing is connected, everyone can join in the singing. It is common to see one person singing and thousands of people singing in a lively atmosphere. Xingguo folk songs are an excellent cultural and artistic type of the Chinese nation. They inherit and record Hakka culture. They cover many aspects of the Hakka people's reproduction and development. Researching and interpreting Xingguo folk songs and exploring their essence are important measures to promote excellent national culture. They can unite Hakka people. Using folk songs as a bond and playing a role in friendship can promote the unity of Hakka people around the world. In 2006, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
