Inheritance and Protection of Music in Nanxiang Hall

With the change of people's lifestyle, it is difficult for most suona artists to get rich by playing suona. Nowadays, most artists are very old, and young people are neglected, which has reached the point where there is no successor. Among the current suona artists, only Li Shifu of Shangzhai Village in Kongtian Town can play 10 in the lobby completely. If you don't try to save it, you are in danger of losing it.

In order to protect lobby music, a precious intangible cultural heritage, Anyuan County has devoted manpower and material resources to declare lobby music as the second batch of intangible cultural heritage in Jiangxi Province since 2006. Organize relevant departments and experts to continue to collect and sort out the lobby music of Anyuan Nanxiang, publish a relatively complete and standardized album "Anyuan Nanxiang Folk Lobby Music", and take protective measures such as video recording, photography, text recording and filing. Allocate special funds to purchase some equipment for lobby music practitioners and invite them to participate in various folk art performances in the county; The county should allocate some funds from the cultural construction funds, encourage artists to inherit with apprentices, and set the goal of training three artists in each township.

Anyuan County not only urges the lobby folk music to develop into a cultural industry, but also gives full play to its hematopoietic function. Many artists took the initiative to enter the market, and "combined with fists", set up a folk lobby music art troupe, performed singing and dancing sketches and other performances, broadening the way to make money. Some artists constantly explore the lobby music tunes that adapt to the development of the new era, and play songs such as "Ten Send to the Red Army" and "Into the New Era", which are both contemporary and Hakka. What is particularly gratifying is that with the excavation and publicity of Hakka culture in Laiyuan County in recent years and the increase of various happy events in rural areas, lobby music has returned to the rural stage, warming people's memories.

Looking forward to the rebirth, Anyuan Nanxiang lobby music has a world to display its talents: in June 2006, 1 1, the fifth Navel Orange Festival in Ganzhou, China was held in Anyuan, and the music in Anyuan Nanxiang lobby was played as a welcome song by a team of 50 people, creating a good holiday atmosphere and causing a sensation throughout the audience. In 2007, China (Jiangxi) Sanshishan first eco-tourism festival Dongshengwei folk activities, artists improvised folk lobby music, which fascinated and amazed Guangdong and Hong Kong tourists. In August, 2007, Anyuan County issued another document to develop and utilize folk lobby music.
