Ask anyone casually, do you know which "Henan Folk Song"? The answer is "Flower Basket", and few people say the second "Henan Folk Song". Flower Basket has been sung as a "Henan folk song" for nearly half a century. However, Guo Fushan, a 76-year-old retired cadre of Henan Provincial Procuratorate, believes that this song was created by him, which is an "original song" rather than a "folk song". The lyrics were originally "picking cotton", not "picking peony". Whose flower basket is this? How was it "transformed"?
I "edited" The Flower Basket, a 20-year road to safeguarding rights. How can it be called a folk song?
12 19 in the morning, Zhengzhou was sunny and freezing, and the reporter came to the home of Mr. Guo Fushan, Renmin Road. Teacher Guo is 76 years old and wears a pair of reading glasses. She looks in good spirits. Miss Guo also has a guest at home-Wang Jianbing, a lawyer of Tianji Law Firm. Lawyer Wang said that he heard that Mr. Guo wanted to "defend rights" and take the initiative to "serve".
In Mr. Guo's study, a small bookcase was filled with audio-visual products related to flower baskets. The reporter flipped through it casually, and the label was "Henan Folk Songs".
Teacher Guo showed two CDs to reporters and lawyer Wang, namely "Celebrities of the National Anthem" published by Chinese record companies in 2004 and "Folk Songs" published in 2005. Both CDs have "Flower Basket" and are labeled as "Henan Folk Songs".
It is the publication of these two CDs that once again aroused Guo Fushan's idea of "safeguarding rights".
"On 1986, I found that the tape released by Beijing Branch of China Record Company regarded Flower Basket as Henan Folk Songs." Teacher Guo said that he sent a letter to the other party asking for "restoring the original appearance of the lyrics." In the reply, the other party said, "I didn't know you wrote this song, but I will restore it when it is reprinted in the future" and sent a payment to 30 yuan. "I didn't expect that after 20 years," Flower Basket "was still signed" Henan Folk Songs ".
In March this year, as a member of music copyright society of china, Guo Fushan sent infringing works purchased from the market to the Association, entrusting music copyright society of china to investigate the tort liability of Chinese record companies. According to Guo Fushan, from March to 10, although the association negotiated with the record company, the result was at most to pay some fees and the signature would not be changed.
Recalling the creative process, I often went to cotton fields to pick cotton when I was a child to stimulate my creative inspiration.
Teacher Guo Fushan recalled the creative process of weaving flower baskets. Before the founding of New China, Mr. Guo joined the Eighth Route Army, mainly engaged in literary and artistic creation. Yang Lanchun, the author of the Henan Opera Chaoyanggou, was the captain of the literary team at that time.
After the founding of New China, Mr. Guo first served as a conductor in the Provincial Song and Dance Theatre, and then transferred to the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles as a Quyi editor. Teacher Guo recalled, "1958, I saw a ballad written by Zhong Tingrun, director of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, in a newspaper at that time. This aroused my creative inspiration and composed music for the lyrics. "
"My hometown is old Luoyang County, and my father is a cotton technician, who is good at handling cotton. I often follow my father to pick cotton in the fields. " Therefore, when Guo Fushan saw the lyrics of "Flower Basket", it only took him more than two hours to compose the song of this word. After the lyrics came out, the image of a hardworking and happy rural girl appeared. Guo Fushan said that this song was originally a tribute to the working people: a girl in a cotton-producing area planted her own cotton, woven her own flower basket and picked her own ripe cotton; Pick cotton and send it to Chairman Mao in Beijing.
"As a cotton producing area, I have many daydreams about cotton." "Why is cotton like peony? Cotton is white! " "Why can three two flowers pick a basket? Cotton has a bumper harvest! "
Dissatisfied with the lyrics being changed
It's against morality to pick peonies, and Luoyang people won't agree.
1959, "Flower Basket" was first published in the third issue of the semi-monthly "Beijing Song", with the author Zhong Tingrun as his signature. "Xiao Xuan is me." Teacher Guo said that because of my mysterious character, I took a pen named "".
Teacher Guo sent a "Flower Basket-Selected Works of Guo Fushan" to the reporter, which included 38 songs created by Teacher Guo and signed it as "Mr." 1960, the flower basket premiered in china national radio. "Weave, weave, weave a flower basket, weave a flower basket on Nanshan, Nanshan is full of red peony ..."
1986, Guo Fushan overheard "Flower Basket" in Erqi Square, Zhengzhou City, only to find that the song has not changed, but the lyrics have been "tampered with" and named as "Folk Songs", with neither a lyricist nor a songwriter.
"Why do you want to pick peony? Peony is for viewing. Picking peony flowers is immoral and does not conform to the reality at that time. " When Guo Fushan told Zhong Tingrun this adapted word, the lyricist also looked puzzled: "How did my poem become a folk song? I sing praises to the working people and people's leaders. How did I become a peony girl? "
Teacher Guo's wife, Shi Zizhen, is also engaged in literature and art. The Flower Basket she sang with everyone is the original version, that is, "picking cotton" instead of peony. "Luoyang people will not agree to pick peonies."
Guo Fushan said that on the one hand, he would ask for the restoration of the original lyrics of "Flower Basket", and on the other hand, he would get back the right of signature.
Flower Basket Composed by Guo Fushan
Weave, weave, weave flower baskets,
Weave a basket of flowers to climb Nanshan.
There is a cotton field in Nanshan.
Flowers bloom like peonies.
Silver peony in Jin Mudan,
Silver peony, oh, oh, hello.
Pick, pick, pick new cotton,
Pick a basket with three flowers and two flowers,
I sent the basket to Beijing,
Chairman Mao praised me after seeing it.
Praise my basket for its clever weaving,
Praise the brilliance of my cotton.
Who will like it?
The "flower basket" circulating now
Weave a basket of flowers to climb Nanshan
Nanshan is full of red peony,
Flowers are blooming,
Yindandan, hey, Yinpeony,
The spring scenery of the motherland has no boundaries.
Pick, pick, pick peony,
Pick a basket with three flowers and two flowers.
How beautiful these flowers are,
The girl fell in love with it when she saw it.
Colorful, hey, let's be together,
