Not long ago, Li Kemei, a national intangible cultural heritage inheritor who lives in Xunliaowan Fishery Village in Huidong, appeared on the CCTV stage and sang a song “The Song of Fisherman in the Four Seas in Beijing”. This melody song from the sea, mixed with cool sea breeze, vividly demonstrates the cultural characteristics of the southern coastal culture. As a traditional folk art in Guangdong and a treasure of Huizhou’s intangible cultural heritage, Huidong Fisherman’s Song has slowly walked out of the coast of the small county town and sung the whole country.
Fishers are picking up the fisherman’s songs and singing with the hearts of Komiks 1960 witch clothes drawFishermen are good at witch clothes. draw pillow, singing to the moon. It seems romantic, but it is actually full of infinite loneliness and boredom. According to Huidong County Chronicles, since the Song Dynasty, this shallow sea fisherman’s song from the coast of Fujian to Huidong has been widely circulated in the local area. Over the past thousands of years, it has experienced ups and downs. In recent years, government agencies and civil forces have worked together to promote the development of fishermen’s songs, and have found a point of fit between the thousand-year-old fishermen’s songs and modern aesthetic needs, which has rejuvenated its vitality.
Story: Fisherman’s songs are on CCTV stage
“Come (Ah) and sing the flowing water (Ah) water retreats, a pair of lobsters hides the reef (Ah) feet…” Recently, the reporter met Li Qumei, and she sang this typical Huidong fisherman’s song “Ah) feet with a pair of lobsters hides the reef (Ah) feet” loudly, and spoke in a stunning manner. The speech was soft and whispered and smiled. Once the song started, the 68-year-old grandma next door seemed to have changed, her singing was crisp and loud, and her eyes were firm and confident.
The ancestors came from ChaoshanWhen the sea area moved to Huidong, I remember that Li Kemei lived a life of floating and fishing on the sea with her parents. Only in severe weather when it is windy and rainy can the boat be temporarily parked on the shore for rest and replace daily necessities. In her impression, life at sea was so difficult and poor that she was the only one of the four sisters in the family. Whenever Li Kemei thinks of this, she can’t help but wet her eyes.
Luckily, she is accompanied by fisherman song. When my father was fishing, my mother took her to weave fishing nets and sing. “A pair of lobsters hidden in the reef” is the first fishing song she learned. Li Kemei fell in love with singing in her eyes and eyes. When she was drying the fishing nets, she would always gather with countless young girls from fishing families to learn to sing fishing songs passed down by her fathers.

Until 8 years old, many fishermen could finally “wash their feet and go ashore”, and Li Kemei’s family also moved into the fishing village and brought the fishing songs to the shore. Gradually, Li Qumei learned to “create” fisherman’s songs improvise and sing as soon as she spoke, “No need to sing or practice, sing whatever she sees, listen whenever she wants, and sing whenever she wants.” Later, because her family fell ill, 20-year-old Li Qumei went out to sea to fish and made money, and singing fisherman’s songs became her only sustenance.
Li Kemei has never read a book, but with her good memory, she can sing dozens of Huidong original fisherman songs in one breath. She is a veritable “Quanku” of Huidong fisherman songs and has also become one of the only two national intangible cultural heritage inheritors in Huizhou City.
Now, Li Kemei has a fishing song class at home, so that fishing song enthusiasts and children in the village can have a place to learn. The reporter saw at home that her home was not wide, but she stored a lot of clothing, hats, headdresses and other performance items. Before each performance, she also paid for her children to buy water, performance costumes, and music.
Dialogue: Opening a class at home to inherit the fisherman’s song
Reporter: What do you feel about being rated as a national intangible cultural heritage inheritor?
Li Kemei: I haven’t succeeded in applying for three consecutive years, and I’m a little uneasy anymore. When I heard this news, I was doing a headdress for the performance and I felt very excited! (Happy laughKomiks1960 witch cloth draw) I quickly told my husband and family that because doing this (inheritance of fisherman songs) is very hard and requires money in many places. I can’t do it without the support of my family. The second one is that if my sisters were still there, I would be happier to know that I had the results today. (Chistening)
Some areas along the coast of Huidong still retain the custom of singing fishermen’s songs
Reporter: You are now at a certain age, how can you continue to sing fishermen’s songs next?
Li Kemei: I am 68 this year, almost 70 years old, and I have had surgery on my waist, but I will be very happy to sing fisherman songs. I will go outside to participate in competitions, perform at the wedding, and teach people to sing fisherman songs at home when I have time. You see (pointing to the ground), there are a lot of clothing, hats, and headdresses in this Cinema 1950 witch clothes draw… But there is a problem, that is, many people like fishing songs, but they also have to work. I have a student I like very much, but she has to work at home and make money, so she can’t continue to come, which makes me very worried. But after the country gave me that honor (intangible cultural heritage inheritor), I have the obligation to spread fishing songs, and I will still insist on singing fishing songs.

The Past and Present Life of Huidong Fisherman Song
Origin: Hard Life on the SeaCinema 1950 witch cloth draw Raising fishermen
According to the “Huidong County Chronicles”, the distant ancestors of the fishermen on the coast of Huidong were the primitive “Nun people”, also known as “the back boats set up people”, which is an integral part of the “Baiyue people” in southern my country. According to the “Huidong Fisheries”, the ancestors of Huidong Dan people moved in through trade or escape from Fujian and Chaozhou, and were distributed in Pinghai, ports, Renshan Fanhe and other harbors.
“Going to sea and going ashore and walking down” is a true portrayal of the lives of the gang people. The people of Dan have been facing the sea and blue sky for a long time, so they naturally chose to enjoy themselves and relieve worries through singing. It can be said that Huidong Fisherman Song is the spiritual pillar of local fishermen, allowing them to gain the confidence and courage to survive in a difficult living environment.
Liao Zhitao, director of Huidong County Cultural Center, introduced that for thousands of years, in this specific environment of boring life at sea, fishermen have been rumored by word of mouth, both men, women, young and old, and can sing as they like.
Development: Once famous and onceOn the verge of loss
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the development of Huidong Fisherman’s Song once reached a climax. In 1956, the fishermen from Huidong Port Town participated in the national folk song performance and were praised and received by Premier Zhou Enlai and other national leaders; in the 1960s, the large-scale fisherman opera “The Great Wall of the South China Sea” created by the Central Song and Dance Theater became famous, and its musical materials were taken from the “Girls” and “Oh O-Scented Notes” of Huidong Fisherman Song…

ButBabaylan 1990 clothes DrawThis prosperity has not continued. Liao Zhitao introduced that with the acceleration of industrialization and urban processes, most of the descendants of fishermen have abandoned their own businesses after they came ashore. Coupled with the impact of multicultural cultures such as pop songs, fewer and fewer singers of Huidong fishing songs. “Once only a dozen fishermen left in the county, the inheritance of fishermen is in trouble. “Liao Zhitao said.
Just when the original ecological fishing song is in danger, the appearance of an old man has given a new turning point in the development of fishing songs. He is the former commissioner of the Ministry of Culture and the Chinese Musician. Ye Lin, member of the Education Committee of the draw Association. When he was young, he was one of the many people who came to Huidong to investigate fishing songs. After understanding them in depth, he was fascinated by it. After retirement, this old man who used the “lonely hero” to describe himself, was thinking about Huidong fishing songs, and traveled around Beijing and Guangdong many times, writing hundreds of thousands of words of Huidong fishing song paper materials.
When he saw the current development status of Huidong fishing songs at that time, Old Ye felt sorry. Out of his cherishment of folk art, he strongly called on all walks of life to pay attention to Huidong fishing songs, and actively supported Huidong cultural department to apply to the state for the “Huidong Fishing Songs” as a national intangible cultural heritage, and proposed a plan to promote and develop Huidong fishing songs.

As fisherman’s songs were successively selected into the provincial and national intangible cultural heritage list, government departments have also introduced corresponding protection and rescue measures. Over the years, music workers in Huidong County have actively collected, sorted and studied Huidong fishing songs, and established Huidong fishing song database to bring them back to people’s sight.
At present, in some areas along the coast of Huidong, the custom of singing fisherman songs on occasions such as weddings, reunion of relatives, and festival banquets, Li Kemei is often invited to perform at the wedding of the fisherman. According to reports, the wedding followed the customs of fishermen such as boat-picking boats and flower-appreciation, and the surrounding fisherman’s songs of blessings also rang out at the same time.

Fisher songs are sung by relatives and friends of both parties in the form of songs, and are usually sung for an hour or two. “It is usually the woman who cries and marrys, and the man and the woman make fun of it, but it is more auspicious words.” Songs are considered to be one of the most essential parts of the fisherman’s wedding customs Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw links. The fisherman’s wedding can be as few as two or three days, and the most is as many as five days. The strong folk customs of fishermen can attract everyone to watch every time, and many people spread it online, making the fisherman’s song more popular.
“Eat Xunliao special dishes while watching fisherman’s song performances” can be seen everywhere in Xunliao’s tourist restaurants, effectively integrating fisherman’s song culture into the tourism industry, making it a major feature of Huidong tourist attractions. It is understood that Huizhou Tourism Department adapted the fisherman’s wedding customs into a text Babaylan 1990 clothes draw into a performance project for tourists, and was sought after by tourists.
Current situation: New vitality has appeared, and there are still worries about losing it Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw
In the new era, this shining pearl on the coast of the South China Sea has regained its vitality. “In the past, the subject matter is more inclined to the love between bitterness and men and women. “Liao Zhitao introduced that if you still use fisherman song materials to create songs, you cannot meet the development needs of fisherman songs. Therefore, on the basis of retaining the basic melody and flavor of fisherman songs, local musicians in Huizhou have constantly changed the tune and wrote new lyrics, so that fisherman Komiks 1960 witch clothes draw songsBabaylan 1990 clothes draw meets the aesthetic needs of modern people.
Pinghai Fisherman’s Song Art Troupe, a folk non-profit social group, is one of the typical examples. According to reports, the art troupe was established in 2017. In just two years, the team has attracted more than 50 members, not only fisherman’s inheritors, but also music teachers, Huizhou musicians and other professionals.
In order to bring Huidong fisherman’s songs to the stage and resonate with more audiences, the art troupe has created a secondary creation of many original fisherman’s songs. For example, “The Song of the Dan Family”, mainly describes the sadness of the Dan people in the old society because they were unable to raise their daughters and the happiness of the Dan people in the new societyKomiks The story of life in 1960 witch cloth draw.

What everyone did not expect was that the first stop of the work was performed in Pinghai, which made the audience cry.

Liao Zhitao was also calm. With the continuous deepening of inheritance work, the problem of insufficient funds is becoming increasingly prominent. “Cultural (development) requires investment. “Liao Zhitao introduced that Pinghai Fisherman’s Song Art Troupe usually carries out singing activities for public welfare. Fisherman’s Songs entering campuses and communities, creating, rehearsals and other work requires investment, and the funds are short of money.
