【亚洲•中国】花儿 Hua’er (2009年)

【项目简介】

 Project brief introduction

花儿

花儿产生于明代初年（公元1368年前后），是流传在中国西北部甘、青、宁三省（区）的汉、回、藏、东乡、保安、撒拉、土、裕固、蒙等民族中共创共享的民歌。因歌词中把女性比喻为花朵而得名。它用汉语演唱，音乐上受羌、藏、汉、土以及穆斯林各民族传统音乐的影响。由于音乐特点、歌词格律和流传地区的不同，花儿被分为“河湟花儿”“洮岷花儿”和“六盘山花儿”3个大类。人们除了平常在田间劳动、山野放牧和旅途中即兴漫唱之外，每年还要在特定的时间和地点，自发举行规模盛大的民歌竞唱活动――“花儿会”，具有多民族文化交流与情感交融的特殊价值。

Flower

Flower was born in the early Ming Dynasty (around 1368 A.D.). It is a folk song created and shared by Han, Hui, Tibetan, Dongxiang, Baoan, Sarah, Tu, Yugu and Mongolian nationalities in Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia provinces (regions) in Northwest China. It is named for the metaphor of women as flowers in the lyrics. It sings in Chinese and is influenced by the traditional music of the Qiang, Tibetan, Han, Tu and Muslim nationalities. Because of the different musical characteristics, lyrics and spreading areas, Huaer can be divided into three categories: Hehuang Huaer, Taomin Huaer and Liupanshan Huaer. In addition to the impromptu singing in the fields, pasturing and traveling, people spontaneously hold a large-scale Folk Song Contest - "Huaer Festival" at a specific time and place every year, which has the special value of multi-ethnic cultural exchanges and emotional blending.
