The blue sky is endless and the green fields are endless.
From the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the folk song "Chile Song", which spread to the north of the Yellow River in the Northern Dynasty, was selected from Yuefu poems compiled by Guo Maoqian in the Northern Song Dynasty. Folk songs sing the magnificent and rich scenery of the northern grassland, and express the pride of Chileans who love their hometown and life.

Creation background
From the 4th century to the 6th century, most parts of northern China were under the rule of Xianbei, Xiongnu and other ethnic minorities, and five regimes, namely Northern Wei, Northern Qi and Northern Friday, were successively established, which was called "Northern Dynasty" in history. Folk songs in the Northern Dynasties were mainly recorded in Chinese after the Northern Wei Dynasty. These songs are bold and unconstrained in style, lyrical and straightforward, and plain in language, which shows the heroic spirit of the northern nationalities.
This folk song "Chile Song" was first seen in the 86th volume of Yuefu Poems edited by Guo Songmao. ? Folk songs, generally believed to be written by Chileans, originated in the middle and late 5th century.
Among the history books, the first to mention the Chile Song is the History of the North (Volume 6) and Qi Benji 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 100,000 troops to attack the walls of the military town of the Western Wei Dynasty from Jinyang, losing 70,000 troops. On the way back to Jinyang, there was a rumor in the army that an arrow would die, and Gao Huan was forced to give a banquet to entertain the minister. In order to boost the morale of the army, he ordered Hu to sing "Song of Chile", which made the soldiers nostalgic and boosted their morale.
Who is the author of the song of Chile? There have been different views from all walks of life. Some people think that Hu is one of the authors, and some even think that Hu is the author. Some people think that Hu is only the earliest known singer, not the author.
Famous comments
Hu Yinglin in the Ming Dynasty said: "This song became a prose poem, but it was inadvertently sent by people who couldn't write it, so it was unpretentious, so that scholars at that time wanted to carve it."
In the 1960s, The History of China Literature by the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Sciences said: "The language is concise and tasteful, the whole poem is coherent and the tone is strong, even in folk songs, it is very prominent."
Modern Cao Daoheng and Shen Yucheng's Literary History of the Southern and Northern Dynasties also made a similar evaluation: "The language is simple and natural, and the weather is vast, just like the painter's brush strokes. In an instant, a thick painting of the Great Wall appeared at the bottom of the pen."
