Samingad

essential information

Early experience

Ji Xiaojun comes from Taitung, where there is a large area of Taitung plain, and there are continuous mountains on the coast. Ji Xiaojun's people belong to the Peinan family in Taiwan, which is called Nanwang. According to the old people in the clan, their earliest ancestors came from the south. At that time, it rained heavily in the world and floods rose day by day. For the sake of safety, the ancestors made a big sailing boat. They drifted in the flood for a long time. One day, they found a Dulan mountain that looked like an inverted pot cover. The ancestors settled here. From the culture and spirit of Nanwang that Ji Xiaojun came into contact with as a child, to the songs she sang, Ji Xiaojun is deeply proud of being the daughter of Nanwang, the Beinan nationality. Especially when he thinks of her family naming her samingad, which means "unique" in Nanwang's mother tongue.

Character evaluation

Xiao Xiangdong

The first time I listened to Ji Xiaojun's revenge, I felt very special. I tried to find the Chinese version of the lyrics, but I got nothing. So simply ignore the content of this song, so over and over again to listen to, actually also slowly into the mood of the song. Different from the melodious and pure of most of Ji Xiaojun's songs, her voice in revenge is high pitched and indignant, which clearly has a sense of perseverance and unyielding.

Ji Xiaojun has this rare ability: even if you don't know what she's singing, she can still move you. Many years ago, she went to Japan to participate in the "love and Dream Music Festival", which once moved the Japanese audience to tears. This is certainly not the first time that she has done so. When she was 16 years old, she was forced to sing on the stage by chance. After that, everyone was amazed. What made Ji Xiaojun more proud was that she saw tears flashing in her grandmother's eyes.

As an aborigine in Taiwan, Ji Xiaojun has probably experienced the inner experience that all Aborigines have experienced: on the one hand, he is proud of his own ancient and unique culture; on the other hand, he has to bear the loss brought about by the marginalization of this culture in Taiwan's commercial society. In the process of pursuing the construction of national subjectivity, helpless hesitation and fighting cry are always intertwined. In many articles on Taiwan aboriginal literature, such words as "sad mountain forest", "Twilight tribe" and "heretic Genealogy" often appear in front of readers, from which it is easy to get a glimpse of the bitter side of the aboriginal spiritual world. Of course, with the increasing attention and protection of aboriginal culture, more and more people know and love aboriginal culture because of their happy personality and unremitting efforts.

Ji Xiaojun, who insists on singing in his mother tongue in most cases, can be regarded as an alternative singer to spread aboriginal culture. Her songs can be roughly divided into two categories according to the emotions expressed: the first category expresses the pride of the national culture and the praise of the hometown, such as the tracing of the source of the national culture and the yearning for the rejuvenation of the ancient civilization in mythology, while the song of walking, love of Lanyu, song of Nanwang family, lullaby and beautiful rice ear are sung They are carefree and free when they are living in their beautiful hometown. The second kind expresses their reluctance to leave their hometown and the homesickness caused by it. In hometown puyouma, there is a light sadness when I leave my hometown. In ringing the telephone, I sing my missing for my hometown through a small detail. The interweaving of telephone ringing and children's babbling is enough to make people cry. In vagrancy, I go a step further and feel more sad. After I leave my hometown, I experience all kinds of falsehood and deception in a complex society and gradually realize the past innocence An elegy fading away. Different from Yang Zongwei's loud questioning and strong reluctance in singing this song, Ji Xiaojun's interpretation is more of a kind of sadness and helplessness.

Ji Xiaojun's unique feature is that she integrates the sense of pride and loss into her songs: when the sense of pride overflows, there is always a kind of faint loss, and when the sense of loss spreads, the sense of pride is always ready to come out, so that the loss will not turn into despair.

Ji Xiaojun is not only the inheritor of aboriginal tribal memory, but also the watcher of the mountain and sea world in their hearts. Through her singing, you can feel the purity and beauty of this world, you can also feel the faint worry that this world may disappear, and you can also feel the heartache when you have to leave this world. This is probably what everyone in the commercial society who goes out of the simple mountain and sea world has to experience. Fortunately, Ji Xiaojun's song is the best witness of this journey from exile to watchman, and also gives every unfortunate lost child comfort and a way home.
