Lyrics: Jiang (a talk)
Composer: Tian Hou
Folded version 1
Is Su Wu Shepherd an ancient song, or was it written by modern people? I haven't figured it out for years. Most people mistake this song for an ancient song. 193 1 year, Mr. Wang published the article "Su Wu Shepherd Song and Mr. Jiang" for the first time in the first series of Shenyang literature and history materials, which unveiled the mystery of the author of Su Wu Shepherd.
In order to further verify this problem, recently we specially visited Mr. Shen, Mr. Wang's classmate. Shen Lao is a famous calligrapher. He used to be the director of Liaoning Provincial Museum of Literature and History. He is 80 years old this year. After we explained our purpose, the old gentleman told us the whole story of the creation of this song enthusiastically and in detail.
Shen Lao said: "Probably 19 16 or 19 17. When I was fifteen or sixteen, I was studying in my hometown of Gaiping County. At that time, a donkey shadow play was popular in Gaizhou, which was played with various musical instruments and the tone was sad. At that time, the school's music teacher was named Tian Hou. According to the students' requirements, he created a piece of music based on "sad tune", and the students played it happily with flute, flute, erhu, dulcimer and organ. The students are not satisfied with this and want to make up songs to sing in this tone. There is a classmate named Fu Baoshan who plays the flute very well. He and several classmates went to visit Mr. Jiang, who teaches Chinese. Mr. Jiang wrote the lyrics "Su Wu Shepherd" according to the tune compiled by Mr. Tian, and the song was named Su, also known as "Su Wu". After it was sung, it was generally called Suwu Shepherd. " At some point, Mr. Shen Lao recited the lyrics with great interest. Compared with the lyrics circulating in the society, we corrected some words, such as "No loss for major festivals" and "No loss for Han Dewei", while Shen Lao sang "No loss for major festivals" and "No loss for Han Dewei". What he said was the way Mr. Jiang wrote lyrics.
So, how did this song become popular all over the country? Shen Lao recalled: "After this song was compiled, it was taught to sing in class, and it was popular in the whole school for a while, and students rushed to imitate it. During the summer vacation, international students (some living in Shenyang) took it back to their hometown. After several copies, the song spread like wildfire and gradually spread all over the country. People from all walks of life love to sing this song, from official scholars to ordinary people, even prostitutes and vendors, monks and Taoists. It can be said that Yagu appreciates and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. " Speaking of this, Shen Lao said with infinite emotion: "Although this song is being sung everywhere, no one knows who his author is. I remember that in the early years of the Puppet Manchuria, two of my classmates, Liu Huamin and Fu Baoshan, wrote an article on Mr. Su and Jiang, which was published in Shengjing Daily at that time. "
Folding version 2
Regarding the lyrics of the famous song "Su Wu Mu Yang", another school thinks that the lyricist should be Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Weng's ancestral home is Penglai, Shandong Province, and 1888 is a scholar in the same field as Wu, ranking first. Later, I studied English, mathematics, physics and so on with American doctors. 1906, recommended by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, was hired by Jilin Academic Affairs Office as a math teacher in Jilin Surveying and Mapping School. Later, he was ordered to survey national boundaries and maps in Xing 'an Mountains. After three years of hard struggle, he traveled all over Linhai Xueyuan, and Russian border officials stole boundary markers many times. He repeatedly put forward solemn resistance, and Russian border officials took him away and imprisoned him. He holds the integrity of the Chinese nation, loyal and unyielding, filled with indignation! Recalling the time when Su Wu was herding sheep in Beihai, he was very firm. I first wrote the word "Su Wu Shepherd" to encourage myself. The exact words are as follows:
Su Wu kept Hu Jie intact, and it was snowstorm, and it was nineteen years. Longing for snow, longing for blankets, herding sheep in Beihai. I'm worried about Han Guo, but I haven't returned it yet. Through all the difficulties, your heart is rock solid. Sitting in a traffic jam at night, it hurts to hear the creaking sound.
In an instant, the north wind blows and geese fly. White-haired girl, looking forward to her return, keeping her red makeup empty. On the third night, who dreamed in two places? Even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, Dajie will never lose. It is better to call Xiongnu, which is heartbreaking, and * * * takes Han Dewei.
After consultation, I returned to my hometown. 19 12, recommended by American doctor, was hired by Yantai Yi Literature Museum (now Yantai No.2 Middle School) to teach here. 1922, Wu visited Weng Zengkun, a well-read fellow student. Invite him to meet him as soon as he finds it. In the same year, after his wife died, Weng left Yantai Yi Literature Museum to work as an instructor in a staff office in Luoyang.
1923, Wu celebrated his 50th birthday, and his subordinates wanted to celebrate it. Wu refused because the country was at home and abroad. Mr. Weng agreed, and put forward: internal separatism, external management, rest and recuperation, and strengthening the country and enriching the people are the best. At that time, Cao Kun plotted to be president, and he strongly advocated a birthday. Because Wu is a subordinate, he has to. At that time, someone presented a "birthday song", flattering and tacky. Wu was so angry that he tore it to pieces! And let Weng think about the song. Mr. Weng is going to make a whole in the book "Su Wu Shepherd" written by the prisoner and give it to Wu. After reading it, Wu greatly appreciated it! I think the lyrics are patriotic, that is, let the military band compose music. Because this song is profound and tragic, which well reflects the content of the lyrics, and Wu's vigorous promotion, Su's "Wu Mu Yang" was quickly sung all over the country and has been passed down to this day.
Lyrics entrusted people's patriotic feelings at that time, and also inspired generations of young people to sacrifice themselves to defend the integrity of the motherland and the nation, which is a model of patriotic songs.
When Weng sent a message to Wu, he talked about the temple street where he was imprisoned and the creative process of Shepherd of Su Wu. Wu was deeply moved, and immediately gave him a cursive script: "Look at the bio-meteorology of heaven and earth, learn from sages and self-denial."
