TEOCHEW MUSIC

Thanks to Yoshio for this information: Teochew music, abbreviated as Chaozhou music, is a traditional music mainly circulating in the Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province, and is one of the intangible cultural heritages at the national level. Chaozhou music is a general term for all kinds of folk instrumental music in the Chaoshan area, mainly popular in Jieyang, Chaozhou, Shantou and other places, with its influence radiating to southern Fujian, Shanghai, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia, as well as places in the world where the Chao people live. Chaozhou music is famous at home and abroad for its flexible and varied forms of performance, and is known as ‘the legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties’ and ‘the right sound of China’, and is the treasure of Chinese folk music . Chaozhou music can be broadly divided into gongs and drums, strings and poems, fine music, temple music and river music. Among them, gongs and drums belong to square music, including Teochew big gongs and drums, Teochew small gongs and drums, and Teochew Su gongs and drums; while strings and poems, fine music, temple music, and river music belong to chamber music. There are about 20 kinds of musical instruments commonly used in Teochew music, and the most local characteristics are the two strings, suona, and deep wave .

  2. add some
    (01)潮乐串锦 Chaozhou music

    (03)月儿高 the Moon is High
    (04)摇舟令 poetic term for Boat-Rocking Order
    (05)单狮戏球 lit. single lion playing ball (idiom); fig. a fight between opposing forces
    (06)挨书登楼 Being Booked Upstairs
    (07)双咬鵝 Double Bite Goose

    (03)The Moon is High’ is a famous ancient Chinese pipa piece, the date and author of which are unknown. It is said to have been composed by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and its background is similar to that of the “Neishang Yuyi Song”. Its background is similar to that of the ‘Nei Shang Yu Yi Song’. The earliest surviving score is a piece in the handwritten manuscript ‘Gao He Jiang Dong’ from the Jia Jing period of the Ming Dynasty, which was later adapted into folk orchestral and guzheng compositions, and it is a superb depiction of the moon in the art of instrumental music.

    (06)Being Booked Upstairs’ is one of the more widely circulated pieces in the suite ‘Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia’. Through variations and other treatments, the rhythm is even more ancient and elegant, touching the heart, and now it has become a classic piece of Teochew's fine music. The rapid pipa, and a stallion neighing erhu, and finally take a look at the scenery outside the plug, and return to Han with emotion. The erhu is cool and distant, recalling emotionally the twelve spring and autumns of life outside the Seychelles, and looking unexpectedly longingly towards the long road home. The pipa is sometimes mellow, sometimes mute, as if looking forward to the Han embroidery building and book building with joy, and inadvertently dropping tears. The memories of the Han family and the life in the Hu land intertwine complex emotions, rising and falling with the tune, leaving behind a legendary woman's perseverance and wisdom in the echo of erhu and pipa

    (07)Double Bite Goose It is a traditional gong and drum music that was discovered and compiled in the 1950s. The music, in the form of an ensemble of suona and gongs and drums, expresses the interesting scenes of the folk goose fights during the festivals, and the echoing of the two suona, which vividly portrays the lovely image of the lion-headed goose, makes the theme more prominent and rich in life atmosphere.
