Someone said, "The village at the foot of the mountain is where Qiao Yu stayed." I'm even more surprised What is the relationship between Qiao Yu and Shahe? Is that familiar song really related to the seasonal river at the foot of the mountain? What's the name of that river? Is the river that inspired Qiao Yu wider and more turbulent than it is now?
I saw a wooden sailboat at the head of the village. There was a music square in the village with Qiao Yu's head painted on the wall. When I climbed Yang Guangshan, I also saw the stone carving of "Lao Dan Training Center" inscribed by Qiao Yu.
I have been looking for the answer since I came back from collecting wind in Xingtai: What is the relationship between Qiao Yu and Shahe? Why does "the width of the river" appear on that hillside? What was the river under the mountain like in the past? Could it be that this river inspired Qiao Yu's creation? Are the mountains and valleys there related to the fourth ice age? Why is that village called Ferry? What's the name of that river in history?
Through consulting a large number of materials, I know that in the early 1970s, Li Siguang conducted a comprehensive survey of Shahe glacier relics, and found that most of the remaining glacial deposits formed moraine platforms, moraine Longgang and moraine hills, and the largest moraine platform spread eastward from Dukou Village, which was roughly fan-shaped. No wonder the geography and landforms there are very strange, all related to glaciers. The river at the ferry roared, so it was wide and gentle, and then the ferry could be used. There was a ferry in ancient times, hence the name. There were three streets and six lanes in the Yuan Dynasty. Because of the mouth of mountains and rivers, mountain people must pass through this place when they leave Sichuan and enter the mountains, also known as Xiaoxingzhou. The village is adjacent to Yangguangshan in the north and Dasha River in the south, commonly known as Beida River, and recorded as Lushui in the county annals. The downstream of Lingshui once spewed out dazzling and moving Baiquan, and Xingtai was called "Spring City" in ancient times. "There are springs around Xing, nectar overflows everywhere, and springs gush from the flat land", which used to be a hundred points of water gushing, and the pearls gushing with dew are endless, comparable to Jinan.
With the changes of the times, the scenery of the "Hundred Springs" in the past has disappeared, and the "stagnant water" has gradually disappeared. The water has gone to Baisha and replaced it with "Dasha River". In 1970s, Zhuzhuang Reservoir and Dong Shiling Reservoir (now Wangqin Lake) were built in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In addition, there is little rain and the water level drops. In those years, it was difficult to find Shui Ying except in summer when the reservoir was flooded.
I think, in the past, "drowning" must have aroused a fascinating vast scene; "Broken water" must be a rolling wave that overflowed the snow jade; There must have been an earth-shattering story along the Lushui River. It's just that all this is buried in time by the wind and sand of the years. When I open the curtain of history, I can clearly find that there are still many little-known stories left there.
It is understood that in 1950s and 1960s, Qiao Yu stayed in Dukou Village for six years and created a large number of excellent lyrics and literary works. He has always called Shahe Dukou Village his second hometown.
Qiao Yu, a native of Jining, Shandong Province, 1946, was introduced to study at the Northern University (the predecessor of Renmin University) in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region of Xingtai, and began to publish poems, novels and yangko operas. From 65438 to 0948, after graduating from college, he actively participated in the land reform movement in Taihang Mountain area. At that time, Wang, the head of the Land Reform Corps (who served as Vice Premier of the State Council and Minister of Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China after liberation) transferred the 20-year-old to the Policy Research Office of Jinan District in Central China.
In the early 1950s, Qiao Yu went to Shahe as a young director of China Song and Dance Theatre as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the county party committee. The next day, he plunged into Dukou Village of Taihang Mountain and lived in the home of Liu Qingyun, a national model worker. Work with the masses during the day, and set up a kang table on the adobe sleeping platform at the east end of Nanwu at night, lighting kerosene lamps to create. Farmers don't want to light lamps. Older girls and young wives are all around the "scholar minister" from Beijing, talking about everything, telling new things and doing needlework by the light of oil lamps. Qiao Yu also inadvertently learned a lot about the feelings of local people, and created many well-known scripts and lyrics.
During the period of 1956, Qiao Yu went to southeast Jiangxi and west Fujian to experience life and collect materials, and wrote a movie script with the theme of children's life in the Soviet area during the Second Revolutionary Civil War, which became a household name later. When he was in the critical stage of the interview, a telegram directed by changchun film studio Sha Meng urged him to write lyrics for the film Shangganling.
As soon as he got off the bus, Sha Meng told the whole story. After the film is finished, the sample is cut, only a few minutes of interlude are left, and then the song comes out to make up. The film crew stopped to wait. Even if they did nothing, it would cost 2000 yuan a day, which was not a small sum at that time.
Qiao Yu quickly asked Sha Meng, "What do you think this song should be written about?" Sha Meng said, "You can write whatever you want. I just hope that no one will watch this film in the future, and this song is sung. "
Qiao Yu saw the script of Shangganling, so he found samples to watch all day. He tried to find an angle, the peace after the war and the picturesque scenery after the smoke. ...
There was a heavy rain in Changchun during the creation. After the rain stopped, Qiao Yu took a walk outside and found a group of children putting grass boats in the ditch. This little detail immersed Qiao Yu in memories of his hometown Grand Canal, Taihang Mountain Ferry River and Yangtze River. Water is always the source of Qiao Yu's creative inspiration. He hurried back and sat at the desk. The first sentence that pops up is: "A big river has wide waves." The biggest feature of Qiao Yu's lyrics is that there is a whole article in one sentence. After more than half a month's suffering and expectation, A Big River was finally born.
The next day, Sha Meng came over with a manuscript and asked: Is a big river the Yangtze River? Qiao Yu said yes or no, and Sha Meng asked: Why not write "the width of the Yangtze River" or "the width of the Yangtze River"? Isn't this more imposing? This question stumped Qiao Yu. The lyrics of "Daohuaxiang", "Gonggong" and "White Sail" are not only the scenery seen by the Yangtze River, but also the scenery witnessed by the Grand Canal and Dukouchuan. He spread the manuscript on the table, read it over and over again, and found that the words "Wanli Yangtze River" or "Yangtze River Wan Li" were indeed stronger, but it became a song about the Yangtze River, and people who had never seen the Yangtze River would have a sense of distance. In fact, everyone's hometown has a river. No matter where you come from, as long as you want to start a business, you will think of rivers. Qiao Yu told Sha Meng what he said. He felt reasonable and agreed. ...
Later, the title of the song was changed to my motherland. After the song was finalized, Sha Meng handed the lyrics to composer Liu Chi. Liu Chi is a composer who quickly became famous, but this time he also "held back" for a long time. Nearly 20 days later, the music was written and all the audience applauded. Then, Chang Ying invited a group of domestic singers who were good at singing folk songs at that time to audition, but the effect was not satisfactory. After learning about this, he proposed to invite Guo. Guo gave it a try and the audience applauded. Subsequently, the crew contacted china national radio, who had the best conditions at that time, for recording. The radio station broadcast the song to the whole country the day after recording. As a result, the film appeared before it was released, and the episode swept the country.
Every classic has its own story. From the story behind My Motherland, we can feel the charm of this song more deeply.
Just past the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, one is a national celebration; One is national joy. Many ancestors struggled for the ideal of national prosperity and national security, and the establishment of New China realized the Chinese nation's longing for freedom and liberation for thousands of years.
The theme song of the film Shangganling, written by Qiao Yu and composed by Liu Chi, shocked China. Let's bless the great motherland and people with songs that resound through the north and south of the river: "A big river, with broad waves and waves, the wind blows rice and flowers on both sides." My family lives on the shore and is used to the boatman's singing and the white sails on the boat ... "
