Jasmine is one of the most representative folk songs in China, which originated from Jiangsu folk songs. Jasmine, also known as "coloratura" in Yangzhou Qingqu, has finally become one of the tunes of Yangzhou Qingqu under the continuous processing of several generations of Yangzhou Qingqu artists.
Daoguang period in Qing dynasty (182 1) was published in the form of Gongchi pu. Jasmine was first published in Xiao Hui Ji edited by Chu Xiang, but its name is still Hua Diao.
Jasmine Flower has its own version in many places because of its beautiful tune. In Jiangsu, the origin of this song, there are several songs, such as "Flower Tune" popular in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Siyang and Xuzhou, and "Jasmine Tune" popular in Liuhe and Xinghua, which Yangzhou knows clearly. In other provinces, there are also their own jasmine flowers, such as Hebei folk jasmine, Northeast folk jasmine, Shaanxi folk jasmine and so on. Although the tunes of these different versions of Jasmine are similar, they all incorporate their own local characteristics.
Moreover, in China, Jasmine Flower has been adapted or recreated by many composers and performers, such as Bao Yuankai's re-creation, Wang Tiechui, a bamboo flute player's adaptation of the Jiangsu folk song Jasmine Flower, Jin Wei's adaptation of Jasmine Flower into a mixed chorus, and Fish Leong, a singer from Taiwan Province Province's song Jasmine Flower is also based on the Jiangsu folk song Jasmine Flower. Among them, the symphonic version of Jasmine, adapted and created by composer li wenping on 1999, is not only a routine performed by the Beijing Symphony Orchestra, but also the most frequently performed work by conductor and orchestra among the works of the same name.
