Not long ago, Li Kemei, a national intangible cultural heritage inheritor who lives in Xunliaowan Fishery Village in Huidong, appeared on CCTV stage and sang a song “Foot Sea Fisherman Songs” in Beijing. This melody song from the sea, mixed with cool sea breeze, vividly demonstrates the cultural characteristics of the southern coastal culture. As a traditional folk art in Guangdong and a treasure of Huizhou’s intangible cultural heritage, Huidong Fisherman’s Song has slowly walked out of the coast of the small county town and sung the whole country.
Fishers pick up the fisherman’s songs at will and sing with their hearts
Fishermen use the waves as their pillows and sing against the moon. It seems romantic, but it is actually full of infinite loneliness and boredom. According to Huidong County Chronicles, since the Song Dynasty, this shallow sea fisherman’s song from the coast of Fujian to Huidong has been widely circulated in the local area. Over the past thousands of years, it has experienced ups and downs. In recent years, government agencies and civil forces have worked together to promote the development of fisherman songs, and have found a point of fit between the thousand-year-old fisherman songs and modern aesthetic needs, which has rejuvenated.
Story: Fisherman’s songs are on CCTV stage
“Come (Ah) and sing the flowing water (Ah) water retreats, a pair of lobsters hides the reef (Ah) feet…” Recently, the reporter met Li Qumei, and she sang this typical Huidong fisherman’s song “Ah) feet with a pair of lobsters hides the reef (Ah) feet” loudly, and spoke in a stunning manner. He spoke softly and smiled. Once he started singing, the 68-year-old grandma next door seemed to have changed her voice, with her singing crisp and loud and her eyes firm and confident.
The ancestors moved to Huidong from the Chaoshan coastal area. I remember that Li Kemei lived a life of swimming and fishing on the sea with her parents. Only in severe weather when it is windy and rainy can the boat be temporarily parked on the shore for rest and replace daily necessities. In her impression, life at sea was so difficult and poor that she was the only one of the four sisters in the family. Whenever Li Kemei thinks of this, she can’t help but get wet her eyes. Cinema 1950 witch clothes draw. Fortunately, she was accompanied by fisherman songs. When her father was fishing, her mother took her with her Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw to weave fishing nets while singing. “A pair of lobsters hidden in the reef” is the first fishing song she learned. In the earsIn the middle of her eyes, Li Qumei fell in love with singing. When she was drying the fishing nets, she would always gather with countless young women from fishing families to learn to sing fishing songs passed down by her father’s mouth.

Until 8Komiks 1960 witch clothes draw, many fishermen could finally “wash their feet and go ashore”, and Li Kemei’s family also moved into the fishing village and brought the fishing songs to the shore. Slowly, Li Qumei learned to “create” fisherman’s songs improvise, and sang them as soon as she spoke, “No need to sing or practice, and sing whatever she saw when she saw Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw. Listen as much as she wanted, and sing as she wanted.” Later, because her family fell ill, 20-year-old Li Qumei went out to sea to fish and made money, and singing fisherman’s songs became her only sustenance.
Li Kemei has never read a book, but with her good memory, she can sing dozens of Huidong original fisherman songs in one breath. She is a veritable “Quanku” of Huidong fisherman songs and has also become one of the only two national intangible cultural heritage inheritors in Huizhou City.
Now, Li Kemei has opened a fishing song class at her home in Babaylan 1990 cloth draw, so that fishing song enthusiasts and children in the village can have a place to learn. The reporter saw at home that her home was not wide, but she stored a lot of clothing, hats, headdresses and other performance items. Before each performance, she also paid for her children to buy water, performance costumes, and music.
Dialogue: Opening a class at home to inherit the fisherman’s song
Reporter: What do you feel about being rated as a national intangible cultural heritage inheritor?
Li Kemei: I haven’t succeeded in applying for three consecutive years, and I’m a little uneasy anymore. When I heard this news, I was doing a headdress for the performance and I felt very excited! (Happy LaughCinema 1950 witch cloth draw) I quickly told my husband and family that it was very hard to do this (inherited fisherman song) and many places cost money. If notI can’t do it if I have the support of my family. The second one is that if my sisters were still there, I would be happier to know that I had the results today. (Chistening)
Some areas along the coast of Huidong still retain the custom of singing fishermen’s songs
Reporter: You are now at a certain age, how can you continue to sing fishermen’s songs next?
Li Kemei: I am 68 this year, almost 70 years old, and I have had surgery on my waist, but I will be very happy to sing fisherman songs. I will go outside to participate in competitions, perform at the wedding, and teach people to sing fisherman songs at home when I have time. You see (pointing to the ground), there are still many clothes, hats, and headdresses here… But there is a problem, that is, many people like fishing songs, but they also have to work. I have a student I like very much, but she has to work at home and make money, so she can’t continue to come, which makes me very worried. But after the country gave me that honor (intangible cultural heritage inheritor), I have the obligation to spread fishing songs, and I will still insist on singing fishing songs.

The Past and Present Life of Huidong Fisherman Song
Origin: Hard Sea Life Birth of Fisherman Song
According to the “Huidong County Chronicles”, the distant ancestors of the fishermen along Huidong were the primitive “Danmin”, also known as “the people who set up the people in the back boat”, which is an integral part of the “Baiyue people” in southern my country. According to the “Huidong Fisheries”, the ancestors of Huidong Han people moved in from Fujian and Chaozhou through trade or escape, and were distributed in Pinghai Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw, port, Renshan Fanhe and other harbors.
“Going to sea and going ashore and walking down” is a true portrayal of the lives of the gang people. The Hanmin has long been facing the sea and blue sky, and naturally chose to enjoy himself and relieve worries through singing. It can be said that Huidong Fisherman Song is the spiritual pillar of local fishermen, allowing them to gain the confidence and courage to survive in a difficult living environment.
Liao Zhitao, director of Huidong County Cultural Center, introduced that for thousands of years, in this specific environment of boring life at sea, fishermen have been rumored by word of mouth, both men, women, young and old, and can easily pick it up and follow Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawSinging in the heart.
Development: Zeng famous and was on the verge of losing.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the development of Huidong Fisherman’s Song once reached a climax. In 1956, the fishermen from Huidong Port Town participated in the folk song performance nationwide and were praised and received by Premier Zhou Enlai and other national leaders; in the 1960s, the large-scale fisherman opera “The Great Wall of the South China Sea” created by the Central Song and Dance Theater became famous, and its musical materials were taken from the “Girl’s Talk” and “Oh O’s Talk…

But this prosperity did not continue. Liao Zhitao introduced that with the acceleration of industrialization and urban processes, most of the fishermen’s descendants abandoned their own businesses after they came ashore. In addition, the impact of pop songs Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw songs Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw, and the impact of diverse cultures such as Babaylan 1990 cloth drawThere are fewer and fewer singers in Huidong fishing songs. “Once there are only a dozen fishermen left in the county, and the inheritance of fishing songs is in trouble. “Liao Zhitao said.
Just when the original ecological fishing song was in danger, the appearance of an old man gave a new turning point in the development of fishing songs. He was Ye Lin, former specialist of the Ministry of Culture and a member of the Education Committee of the Chinese Music Association. When he was young, he was one of the many people who came to Huidong to investigate fishing songs. He was fascinated by the understanding. After retirement, this old man who described himself as a “lone man” was thinking about Komiks 1960 witch clothes draw Huidong Fisherman Song, traveling around Beijing and Guangdong many times, and wrote hundreds of thousands of words of Huidong Fisherman Song paper materials.
When Ye saw the current development status of Huidong Fisherman Song at that time, he felt sorry for Lao Ye. Out of his cherishment of folk art, he strongly called on all walks of life to pay attention to Huidong Fisherman Song and actively supported Huidong Cultural Department to apply to the country.Huidong Fisherman’s Song” is a national intangible cultural heritage, and proposes plans to promote and develop Huidong Fisherman’s Song.
Inheritance: Fisherman’s Song style is moved to the wedding festival
As fisherman’s songs are successively selected into the provincial and national intangible cultural heritage list, government departments have also issued corresponding protections and protections. Draw. Over the years, music workers in Huidong County have actively collected, sorted and studied Huidong fishing songs and established Huidong fishing song databases to bring them back to people’s attention.
At present, in the coastal areas of Huidong, Babaylan 1990 clothes draw, the custom of singing fishing songs on weddings, relatives reunion, festival banquets, etc., Li Kemei is often invited to perform at the wedding of the fisherman.

Komiks 1960 witch clothes drawFisherman’s songs are sung by relatives and friends of the newlyweds in the form of a song, usually sing for one or two hours, “It is usually the woman who cries and marrys, and men and women make fun of it, but more of auspicious words.” Songs are considered to be one of the most essential links of the fisherman’s wedding customs. Fisherman’s weddings can at least two or three days, and at most five days. The strong fisherman’s folk customs can attract everyone to watch every time, and many people spread it online, making the fisherman’s songs more and more popular.
“Eat the characteristics of Xunliao while eating Xunliao, while watching fishing song performances,” can be seen everywhere in the tourist restaurants in XunKomiks 1960 witch cloth drawLiao, effectively integrating fishing song culture into the tourism industry, making it a major feature of Huidong tourist attractions. It is understood that Huizhou Tourism Department adapted the fisherman’s wedding customs into a cultural performance project for tourists to perform, and was sought after by tourists Babaylan 1990 cloth draw. Current situation: new vitality has appeared, and there is still a loss of worry. In the new era, this shining pearl on the coast of the South China Sea has regained new vitality. “In the past, the theme is more inclined to the love between bitterness and men and women. “Liao Zhitao introduced that if you are still simple nowBabaylan 1990 clothes drawUse fishing song materials for song creation, which cannot meet the development needs of fishing songs. Therefore, on the basis of retaining the basic melody and flavor of fishing songs, local musicians in Huizhou have constantly changed the tune and wrote new lyrics to make fishing songs meet the aesthetic needs of modern people.
Pinghai Fishing Song Art Troupe, a folk non-profit social group, is one of the typical examples. According to reports, the art troupe was established in 2017. In just two years, the team attracted more than 50 members, not only fishing song inheritors, but also music teachers, Huizhou musicians and other professionals.
In order to bring Huidong fishing songs to the stage and resonate with more audiences, the art troupe has created a second creation of many original fishing songs. For example, “The Song of the Dan Family”, mainly describes the sadness of the Dan people in the old society because they were unable to raise their daughters and the happiness of the Dan people in the new societyBabaylan 1990 cloth drawThe story of blessed life. The art troupe carried out innovations such as environmental transformation, dialect and Mandarin transformation and emotional transformation.

Liao Zhitao was also calm. With the continuous deepening of inheritance work, the problem of insufficient funding is becoming increasingly prominent. “Cultural (development) requires investment. “Liao Zhitao introduced that Pinghai Fisherman’s Song Art Troupe usually carries out singing activities for public welfare. Fisherman’s Songs entering campuses and communities, creating, rehearsals and other work requires investment, and the funds are short of money.
