The background of the creation of "Chile Song":
From the fourth to the sixth century AD, most of northern China was dominated by minority groups such as the Xianbei and the Xiongnu. Under the rule of the ethnic group, five regimes including the Northern Wei, the Northern Qi, and the Northern Zhou were successively established, which were historically called the "Northern Dynasties". Folk songs of the Northern Dynasties are mainly works recorded in Chinese after the Northern Wei Dynasty. These ballads are bold and vigorous in style, straightforward in lyricism, and simple in language, expressing the heroic spirit of the northern people. ?
This folk song "Chile Song" was first recorded in the 86th volume of "Miscellaneous Songs and Ballads" in "Yuefu Poems" compiled by Guo Maoqian of the Song Dynasty. It is generally believed to be a folk song composed by the Chile people. It was produced in the mid-to-late 5th century.
In history books, the first mention of "Chile Song" was "The Benji of Qi", Volume 6 of "History of the North" written by Li Yanshou in the early years of the Tang Dynasty: In 546 AD, Gao Huan, the founding emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, led his troops. One hundred thousand soldiers attacked the Western Wei Dynasty's important military town Yubi (southwest of Jishan County in southern Shanxi Province today) from the south of Jinyang, and lost 70,000 soldiers. On the way back to Jinyang, there was a rumor in the army that one of the arrows was about to die, so Gao Huan was sick and forced himself to hold a banquet. Meet the minister.
In order to boost the morale of the army, he ordered his general Hu Lujin to sing "Chile Song", which made the soldiers nostalgic and boosted the morale of the army.
There have been divergent opinions from all walks of life as to who the author of "Celego" is. Some people think that Hu Lujin is one of the authors, and some even think that the author is Hu Lujin. Some people believe that Hu Lujin is only the earliest known singer, not the author.
