Jasmine, one of the world's classic folk songs, is it Suzhou folk songs or Liuhe folk songs ... In March this year, there was a "territorial" dispute.
"Jasmine Blossom" is actually an out-and-out Yangzhou folk song, "Qing Qu expert Wei Minghua told reporters that its predecessor was [coloratura], which has been circulating in He Lixia area of northern Jiangsu for hundreds of years. The lyrics of Bai Qiu, a collection of local operas edited by Qian Decang in Qing Dynasty, have been included in it. "Ge Hong, a national first-class composer, asked reporters to listen to which dialect sounds more interesting. It's not bad to sing in "Wunong Soft Language", but a word "white" and a word "Dai" are not as appropriate and charming as Yangzhou dialect. A listen to, it happens.
When Premier Zhou Enlai listened to the front-line song and dance troupe singing Jasmine, he had such a feeling: Stop singing, stop singing, you will be homesick. Zhou Enlai said: I left my hometown at the age of 13. Your wonderful singing reminds me once again of my hometown in northern Jiangsu, which I haven't been back to for 54 years. This song "Jasmine Flower" was adapted by He Fang, a literary fighter of the New Fourth Army, according to Yangzhou folk song [coloratura].
"There is no need to argue about the ownership of this song," Wei Minghua said. "The key is to save its ancestors."
Thousands of foster daughters teach first.
Coloratura is a tune of Yangzhou Qingqu.

During the Qing Kang and Gan Dynasties, Yangzhou Qingqu entered its heyday. Zhu Xiangsheng, an expert in Qingqu research, was famous for his "singing skills" at that time. Zheng Banqiao once wrote in a poem: "A thousand adopted daughters teach songs first". What song did you teach? It's Yangzhou Qingqu. Even in Suzhou, the hometown of Kunqu Opera, Yangzhou Qingqu was beautiful at that time. According to Yangzhou Painting Boat, it is a wonderful thing to sing in Huqiu, Suzhou and listen to hundreds of people. It will be more beneficial to listen to it tomorrow. The singer changed Daqu (that is, Kunqu Opera) and the group broke up. "It can be seen how charming Qingqu was at that time! More than 200 years ago, Yangzhou Qingqu spread around with a group of geisha, nourishing and enriching more than 20 kinds of traditional operas such as Xiangyang Xiaoqu, Guangdong Nanyin and Northeast Errenzhuan. " In fact, Yangzhou Qingqu is still with us today. Wei Minghua said, for example, "Knocking on the door with a plate in hand" in Red Guards of Honghu Lake followed the technique of "knocking on a tile plate" in Yangzhou Qingqu; Another example is the Hong Kong film San Xiao, in which most tunes are Yangzhou Qingqu. Among them, Tang Bohu Huaan 'an's singing "Tell Grandma to Listen to Me" uses the Qingqu brand "Wucheng Tune".
"It is worth mentioning that Yangzhou Qingqu went to the world one hundred years ago. /kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, hittner, an Englishman, collected some' minor tunes' from Guangzhou. Among them, jasmine was grafted into the background music of the opera Turandot by Italian composer Puccini.
