About "Playing Songs"
"Broken bamboo, bamboo; Flying soil, meat by meat. "
This is an ancient folk song, which reflects the hunting life in primitive society. The repertoire is selected from Wu Yue Chun Qiu compiled by Zhao Ye in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to Wu Yue Chun Qiu, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, the monarch of the State of Yue, asked Chen Yin, an archer of Chu, about the authenticity of his bow and arrow. Chen Yin quoted this folk song in his reply. It is impossible to verify whether it was sung or recited at that time, but later generations recorded the words.
In primitive society, our ancestors lived by hunting. Due to the low level of production capacity, slash-and-burn farming and hunting methods are also extremely backward. With the continuous development of society, production tools are also slowly improving. After the slingshot (also called slingshot) appeared, it can shoot birds and beasts, and the production capacity level has been improved.
The folk song "Brother Dan" summarizes the production and use of "Dan" in concise language, showing the wisdom and cleverness of working people and the joy of hunting food with "Dan".
"Broken Bamboo, Continued Bamboo" is the production process of singing "Bomb". This is to cut the bamboo pole first, and then connect the two ends of the cut bamboo pole with a string to make a slingshot. In this way, the production of the "bomb" is completed. A pair of bombs are in front of us. Although simple and rough, it shows the wisdom and cleverness of the working people and the progress of social civilization.
With a bang, a hunting activity began: "flying soil to eat meat." The projectile shot from the slingshot and hit the prey. People chased them cheerfully and returned with full loads. "Flying soil" refers to shooting mud pills. "Flesh-by-flesh" refers to hunters chasing injured birds and beasts and other prey.
This folk song is short and pithy, with harmonious rhythm, which is a true reflection of hunting life in primitive times.
