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 introduced 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. Since I remember, Li Kemei followed her parents to live a life of rifting and fishing at the sea. 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 wet her eyes.

Luckily, she is accompanied by fisherman song. When my father was fishing, my mother took her to weave fishing nets and sing. “A pair of lobsters hidden in the reef” is the first fishing song she learned. In the eyes and eyes,Li Qumei fell in love with singing deeply. While she was drying the fishing nets, Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw always gathered with countless young girls from fishing families to learn to sing fishing songs passed down by her fathers.

Until 8 at the age of 8, 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 Qu’er learned to “create” fisherman’s songs by improvising, and sang them as soon as he spoke, “No need to sing or practice, sing whatever he saw, listen to what he wanted, and sing as soon as he 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-level inheritors of Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw intangible cultural heritage in Huizhou City.

Now, Li Kemei has a fishing song class at home, 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.

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!

Without the support of my family, I can’t do it. The second one is that if my sisters were still there, I would be happier to know that I had the results today.

Some areas along Huidong coastal areas still retain the custom of singing fisherman’s songs

Reporter: You are now at a certain age, how can you continue to sing fisherman’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. Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw This worried me.但是国家给了那个荣誉(非遗传承人),我就有义务去传播渔歌,还是会坚持传唱渔歌的。
