With its unique artistic charm and rich historical background, the grassland pastoral Song of Chile, which has been circulated for thousands of years, has become a valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. It was born in the Northern Wei Dynasty and has a history of 1500 years. This ancient song witnessed the life changes of grassland people, bearing their yearning for a better life and awe of nature. The lyrics of Chilean songs are concise and far-reaching.
It shows the living condition of grassland nationalities living in harmony with nature. The song begins with "Chilechuan under the Yinshan Mountain" and takes the place name as the starting point to outline a vast grassland picture. In Chilechuan, today's Hohhot area, Yinshan Mountain is a famous mountain range across the Inner Mongolia Plateau. The scenery here is magnificent, the grassland is endless, under the blue sky and white clouds, cattle and sheep flock together, forming a beautiful grassland scenery map. The next lyrics are "the sky is like a sky, and the cage covers four fields."
It vividly depicts the sky on the grassland. Here, the sky is like a huge circular roof covering the earth. This kind of scene makes people feel the vastness of the grassland, and also shows the people's awe of nature. At the same time, these two lyrics also convey a sense of mystery, reminiscent of myths and legends and heroic stories on the grassland. The sky is gray and the wilderness is boundless. These two lyrics further describe the vastness and remoteness of the grassland.
The last sentence, "Wind blows grass to see cattle and sheep", skillfully uses anthropomorphic techniques to organically combine wind, grass, cattle and sheep. The wind blew across the grass, and the grass bowed its head, revealing the cattle and sheep hidden in the grass. This picture vividly shows the harmonious beauty of grassland ecology, and also embodies the life concept of grassland people living in harmony with nature. Chilean songs have unique musical style, beautiful melody and strong appeal.
