Yayue is the representative of Chinese ritual music. The drastic social changes in China in the 2th century once brought profound trauma to the 3,-year-old elegant music culture. The Temple of Heaven Music Department was almost forgotten by the world, and elegant music became a masterpiece. However, the 5,-year-old Chinese civilization has its own strong vitality. With the active efforts of the national government and people of insight, it not only symbolizes the continuation of the Chinese music tradition, but also shows future generations that although the long river of music may be temporarily cut off due to man-made obstacles, its surging undercurrent will eventually converge into a spring tide and plummet, which is caused by a motive force from the depths of the national culture!
Shaole was once the highest-ranked and longest-used elegant music in ancient court music in China, but it was once lost in China. In recent years, artists from Hunan and Hubei provinces have studied, sorted out and creatively worked on Shaole in combination with Liuyang ancient music and the score of Qin in the Song Dynasty, and finally created such a music and dance performance that strives to reproduce the true face of Shaole 4, years ago.
"Shaole" is an ancient music 4, years ago. Experts in the study of Shaole in Hunan Province found many materials that implied the prototype of Shaole in the folk songs represented by Shaoshanchong, and found that the existing Liuyang ancient music was the Zhonghe Shaole in the Qing Dynasty.
Shaole, which was performed in Shaoshan Shaole Performance Hall, was studied, sorted out and created on the basis of Liuyang ancient music, Shaoshan folk songs and the score of Qin in Song Dynasty. The total length of the music is 9 minutes, divided into 11 ditties, played by 5 people, and more than 2 musical instruments are needed, with a value of 1.2 million yuan. As the "Shaole Palace" for performing Shaole, the investment is 14 million yuan, which can accommodate 5 spectators at the same time. In the future, every visitor to Shaoshan can listen to the magical "Shaole" here.
Shaoshan is named after Shun Di's southern tour, and it is also famous for bringing up a great man, Mao Zedong. The research and development of Shaole here has unique advantages and extraordinary historical and practical significance. It is reported that at present, seven cities including Qufu, Shaoguan and Xi 'an in China are also conducting research and development of Shaole.
Shaoshan's research on Shaole started in January last year, and its trademark Shaole has been officially registered by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. Over the past year, a research and development team composed of well-known scholars in music, dance, literature, history and architecture in Hunan Province has gone deep into 14 provinces and cities to find music and collect folk songs. At present, they have finished collecting and sorting out the historical materials of Shaole, produced the demonstration report and performance template of Shaole, and the supporting design schemes of dance, beauty and costume are also being drawn up. Shaoshan is also preparing to build a cultural city centered on "Shaole Concert Hall" and set up a Shaole Art Troupe with a scale of about 4 people. The total investment is expected to reach 2 million yuan, which will be developed by Shaoshan Mao Zedong Memorial Park Co., Ltd.
