History of the folk song Jasmine.

The song "Jasmine" (that is, folk songs) is called "Flower Tune", and there are hundreds of ways to sing it, but it is the same, it is actually one, and it is called "approximate tone" in the world. This kind of tune was widely spread in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the main popular areas were in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. According to the research of experts such as the late historian Zhang Ming (former researcher of the Institute of Ethnic Studies of the Chinese Academy of Arts), the "flower tune" of the Qing Dynasty was developed on the basis of the "flower tune" that was popular in Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty.

Yangzhou Qingqu, as well as Yangju opera, which draws rich nutrients from Yangzhou Qingqu, all have "flower tune" music cards, which are inextricably linked.

China has a long history, but the biggest regret is that for a long time, most of them only have song names and lyrics, and there are few music scores. The earliest surviving lyrics of "Flower Tune" (also known as "Fairy Flower Tune") can be found in the "Fairy Flower Tune" of the play "Flower Drum" in the 39th year of Qianlong (1771) of the Qing Dynasty. Now the earliest score is found abroad, which can be found in the "minor key" recorded in "Travels in China" published by the Englishman Hittner in 1804 (there are scores but no words, and was later used by the Italian composer Puccini in the opera "Turandot"); The earliest notation in China is the ruler score, which is recorded in the first year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty (1821) published in the "Xiaohui Collection", sung by Yangzhou Qing composer Wang Wanqing, Zhang Zhongcao notation, Wu Junda edited, Wang Wanqing sang the "flower tune" closer to the contemporary popular "jasmine"; It is again a guqin piece from the 1840 manuscript "Zhang Jutian Qin Score".

In 1957, the front-line song and dance troupe went to Beijing to give a report performance, and the singing was very successful, and then the record was produced, which was widely circulated at home and abroad.

In the mid-80s, according to the deployment of the Ministry of Culture, Yangzhou collected folk songs on a large scale, and among the more than 1,000 folk songs included, there were three kinds of "jasmine" in Yizheng, Jiangdu and Xinghua, and the lyrics and songs were similar. In 90, it was selected into the "Chinese Folk Song Collection". There are more than 230 Yangzhou folk songs in Jiangsu Volume, and "Jasmine" (that is, "Flower Tune" is included in the book in the form of 7 lyrics and songs, the first is why imitate this one, and at the end of the song, there is a note of "Anonymous singing, how to imitate the lyrics and notation".

In the winter of 1942, the Huainan Popular Theater Troupe of the New Fourth Army came to the foot of Jinniu Mountain to perform a pre-lude performance. At that time, He Fang, who came with the group, visited a local singing artist. Subsequently, the singer performed the folk song "Flower Tune" for him.

He Fang was immediately fascinated by the melody of "Flower Tune", so he spent most of the day writing down the song with a simple score, and sang it accurately according to the artist's method of attacking.

Because "Flower Tune" is a Chinese folk creation, it looks a little rough on the whole. In order to polish the song, He Fang thought twice about it, and adapted the "Flower Tune" of the Confession Cave, and rewrote the three flowers described in the lyrics as jasmine. In 1957, at the Beijing All-Army Art Performance, He Fang planned the first public performance of the song by the front-line song and dance troupe.
