2. Introduction to the song "On the Songhua River"
"On the Songhua River" is a popular high-pitched lyric song, written in the last century 1936. People's musician Zhang wrote lyrics and composed music, and famous singer Zhang Vietnam sang. 1931September 18, Japanese Kwantung Army attacked three northeastern provinces of China on a large scale. Zhang Xueliang ordered Rong Zhen, then the chief of staff of the Northeast Army, to preserve his strength and treat the provocation of the Japanese Kwantung Army negatively, resulting in officers and men of the Northeast Northeast Northeast Army carrying old belts all over the streets of Xi 'an. They were forced into exile in Shanhaiguan, unable to return home and get revenge. From the heart, they all suppress bitterness and resentment, and they want to pour out their grievances and explode. It is against this background that Zhang Chuang wrote this touching solo. This song consists of two parts and has an ending. The tone of confession runs through the whole song, which is both narrative and lyrical, and it is really touching. Songs are divided into three levels according to the lyrics and emotional context: nostalgia, wandering and calling. The first part consists of two paragraphs, each of which consists of three phrases. The tone of this part is full of narrative and lyrical characteristics, telling the story of his hometown in Northeast China, rich products and his parents. The melody of the second part has been unfolded in the form of repeated singing, and his feelings are getting more and more excited, which has a heartbreaking effect. When the melody of heaven and earth is sung at the end, the song reaches its climax and there are demands in tears.
The power to stand up and fight. When singing this song, the solemn and stirring singing deeply touched the hearts of the officers and men of the Northeast Army, and tens of thousands of officers and men burst into tears after listening to it. Before and after the "Xi Incident" broke out, this song can be seen everywhere in Xi and quickly spread throughout the country. This work played a role in awakening people at that time in the 20th century.
In 1930s and 1940s, it was once known as one of the "Exile Trilogy", and it was the first anti-Japanese war song of China. After liberation, this song was also selected as a large-scale music and dance epic "Dongfanghong" performed by New China 1964. Third, the background of Song's creation.
He was teaching in Xi 'an when he wrote this touching song at 1936. At that time, the Japanese army occupied the northeast, and hundreds of thousands of northeast soldiers and civilians went into exile. There are a large number of Northeast Army officers and soldiers and Northeast exiles on the streets of Xi 'an. Zhang heard and witnessed their tragic voices and sights, which deeply touched his heartstrings and inspired him to write a song to tell their tragic stories and their desire to go home.
The three northeastern provinces soon fell, and thousands of northeastern people were exiled and homeless. Chiang Kai-shek drove them to the streets of Xi' an to "suppress * * *". They were forced into exile in Shanhaiguan, but they were forced to fight a civil war against * * * for the people. Everyone's head was full of bitterness and resentment, and then patriotic musician Zhang was deeply moved by these scenes. What I see every day is this tragic scene of wandering, and my ears are full of painful voices. So I wrote this touching solo, full of tears and tears, and poured out my grief. 193 1 year, three beautiful and rich northeastern provinces were occupied by the Japanese army, and more than 30 million compatriots in Northeast China were devastated and living in dire straits. But this is really just the beginning. 1937, the anti-Japanese war broke out in an all-round way, 8 years later, the northeast fell 14 years later. But our Chinese nation is an unyielding nation and an invincible nation. 1937 On New Year's Eve, when Zhou Enlai talked about the nature and tasks of the youth movement at this stage, he also mentioned:' A song called "On the Songhua River" is really heartbreaking. This shows the popularity and touching power of this song in that year. Structural analysis and emotional analysis of four songs
