Introduction to Hubei Dagu

Applicant: Tuanfeng County, Hubei Province

Hubei Dagu was originally known as "Gushu", "Dagu Shuoshu", "Dagu Jingqiang", "Shuoshu" and so on. It was formed in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 200 years. It used to be popular in Wuhan, Xiaogan, Huanggang and other places. After a long period of development, it is now popular in Hubei Province.

Hubei Dagu is accompanied by drumsticks. It is also a good rap singer and has a good sense of humor. His libretto is mainly composed of seven character sentences and cross sentences, among which some five character sentences are interspersed. The main tune of singing is called "sipingdiao". The style is smooth and simple, with distinct color of northeast Hubei folk music. It can not only narrate, but also express emotions. According to the needs of expression, it can be changed into more than ten different styles and different emotions, such as "fast Siping", "slow Siping", "Siping sad shed", "Siping number board", "Siping fast flowing board", "humorous tune", "tight and urgent tune" music for voices in a Chinese opera. In addition, the rich and colorful drum signs often appear between the singing paragraphs, which is refreshing.

Hubei Dagu used to be sung by one person beating the drum. Since 1958, erhu, Sanxian and other musical instruments have been added to the short repertoire, mainly singing; strings are not added to the medium and long repertoire, and both talking and singing are emphasized, supplemented by hand, eye, body and step performances. In the process of spreading, Hubei Dagu appeared three schools: North Road, South Road and North South Road. The north road is high pitched and rough, and is good at singing the works of Pu Dao Gan bang, such as Hua monk and Luo Cheng Dai Jia; the South Road is delicate and touching, and is good at singing the works of family cases, such as blood marriage and four trips to Henan; the South Road has the advantages of both the South Road and the North Road, with a wide range of songs, especially anti Tang, Zhengdong and Nanjing And "Beijing" and other historical works.

After a long period of development and inheritance, there are performing artists such as Wang mingle, Chen Qianwen and Zhang Zhizhi in Hubei drum industry, which makes this style of music art more mature. Hubei Dagu is an exhibition platform of Hubei folk culture, local language, customs and social features, which has high research value in sociology, folklore, art, history and culture. But at present, this excellent folk art has no successors and tends to decline, so it is urgent to rescue and protect.
