Introduction to Tao Ketao Hu

Declaration area or unit: qianguoerluosi Mongolian Autonomous County, Jilin Province

Taoketaohu is a kind of Mongolian rap folk literature produced in the early 19th century. It is a literary version created by folk artists according to real people's stories. It is mainly composed of Mongolian long narrative Qinshu, that is, Wuliger rap, with folk songs and a variety of legends and stories as the content. It is still widely spread in Mongolian inhabited areas.

Gollos has a strong national culture. Since ancient times, nomadic culture, fishing and hunting culture and farming culture have collided and penetrated each other, forming a unique style of gollos culture. Mongolian folk literature enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. There are thousands of Mongolian Qin books and folk songs spread in Gorros, and hundreds of them produced in Gorros. Among them, "Tao Ke Tao Hu" is a representative long narrative Qin Shu and folk song, which is one of the representative works of Mongolian folk literature.

The long narrative Qin Shu and folk song "Tao Ke Tao Hu" are based on the uprising of Tao Ke Tao Hu (also translated as Tao Ke Tao Hu and master Tao) which took place in Gorros from 1906 to 1914. It comprehensively describes the just struggle of Tao Ke Tao Hu leading the poor herdsmen to fight against reclamation and Qing Dynasty, against feudal princes and warlords to seize land. The work portrays the heroic image of taoketaohu, who presides over justice, pleads for the people, defends the land of his hometown and is not afraid of violence, and eulogizes the indomitable struggle spirit of the Mongolian people.

"Tao Ke Tao Hu" is mainly sung by Mongolian Qin Shu, followed by folk songs and published literary works. Whether it is Qinshu, folk songs or literary works, they all have vivid and tortuous plots, concise language, sonorous melody, ups and downs of melody, which have strong artistic appeal. Their folk literature value is extremely precious, and they also have high historical and ethnological value.
