The Yellow River boatman's song is a unique flower in the Yellow River culture. It is a Yellow River culture nurtured by the Yellow River workers of all generations in the practice of Yellow River control. It is not only a concentration of the practice of Yellow River control, but also a force to promote flood control and rescue construction. The characteristics of the Yellow River boatman's song are tense, high-pitched, vigorous and powerful. The song is divided into four types: horse-riding song (fast song), sheep song (slow song), small official song (slow head, fast song) and flower song. Different songs have different contents, which may be slow, fast, passionate, or inflection. According to the situation of the construction site, different songs can be selected to give the construction rescue personnel speed and strength, so as to achieve the purpose of working together to fight floods and rescue. The Yellow River boatman's song The Yellow River boatman has lived on the Yellow River for generations, drifting on wooden boats. They know the Yellow River well and regard boats as their treasures. In the practice of fighting the wind and waves of the Yellow River, the boatmen created a colorful and unique Yellow River boatman's song. The boatmen's calls express the boatmen's complex emotions, reflecting their joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, worry, resentment, sadness and joy. The boatmen's calls on the Yellow River, accompanying the boatmen's work, are the melody of the boatmen's life. The boatmen on the Yellow River never work as "dumb boats". As soon as the boatmen start working, they start singing the "Yellow River Calls" to call everyone to prepare for sailing. After the boat is overhauled on the shore, the "Weibiaohao" is sung when the towboat is launched into the water, followed by "anchoring", "setting up the sail", and "Yangmanhao" (boatmen avoid using the "fan" sound, "Yangmanhao" means "raising the sail"), and the most used is "pulling the boat and feeding the boat". The Yellow River's pulling boat calls are divided into early morning pulling boat calls and evening pulling boat calls. Although the tune is the same, the lyrics are different. Boatmen in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River often cross the Yellow River. In their work practice, the boatmen have figured out the working method of throwing anchors forward and then using the momentum of the water to push the boat across. In this way, a kind of rapid and powerful "anchor dropping" and "anchor swinging" that adapt to this kind of labor was created. In addition, there is a "bringing rush" when the boat turns around, a "falling foot" when rowing, a "big stamping foot" when approaching the dock, and a "car blocking" when passing between two boats. Until the boat stops, every labor process is accompanied by a song. With the changes in the river channel, boatmen have also created various forms of labor songs to adapt to the changes in the rhythm of labor. The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are the Loess Plateau and the mountains in western Henan, with deep valleys and dangerous gorges, and turbulent waters. The Yellow River boatmen go upstream with difficulty; go downstream with fear. There is a folk saying that "shipping in Sanmenxia is like passing through the gates of hell." Sanmenxia is one of the most dangerous sections of the Yellow River, with bright reefs and hidden rocks, and fierce water. Many ships have been buried at the bottom of the river here. Therefore, when sailing in these river sections, boatmen must have the heart of solidarity and the courage to turn the tide. At this time, the songs used almost do not have lyrics, but are composed of "hi, hi" as the supporting words. After the Yellow River flows out of the mountains in western Henan and enters the North China Plain, it loses its unrestrained momentum and slowly flows into the Bohai Sea. When boatmen sail in these river sections, their songs are also slow and melodious, which is quite interesting. The Yellow River songs adopt the form of one leading and many following, and the lyrics and tunes are honest, simple, vigorous and broad. The Yellow River boatmen have been sailing on the thousands of miles of river for many years, and are very familiar with every mountain, stone, grass and tree on both sides of the Yellow River. While using songs to adjust the monotonous and heavy physical labor, the boatmen also use songs to describe the scenery of mountains and rivers and express their love for nature. In short, the Yellow River boatmen's songs not only have the practical value of directing labor and inspiring labor emotions, but also allow people to experience the unique customs and folkways of sailing on the Yellow River.
