The elder sisters are even more embarrassed to teach this music elf to sing.

He Huan said: "You should ask them to teach you how to tell the time."

"What does it mean to set time?" Liang Ange asked curiously.

The eldest sister next to her said: "It just means singing and chatting."

He Huan nodded, "Yes, for them, there is no need for any verses at all, singing is just like chatting.

Zhuo Shi is a Lisu word, which means what you want to say. When singing Zhuo Shi, the Lisu language calls it Zhuo Shi Shuo, which means singing loudly what you want to say.

The content is divided into two categories: Duoweng and Xiaweng, which are long narrative poems and love songs. Duoweng is mainly sung by the elderly, while Xiaweng is an impromptu love song sung by young people based on their environment."

A group of elder sisters smiled and nodded, "Yes, Xiao Bailong is right."

"They live in the mountains, and when they talk, they sing loudly! Singing while bathing is also a hobby of many people!"

Liang Ange smiled and said: "Yes!" He looked at them again and said, "Then you teach me how to tell the time."

The eldest sisters hesitated to speak, they were all a little shy.

"Little Bailong!" Liang Ange looked at him, "You must be able to sing! Just start!"

When it comes to singing, He Huan is not afraid of others. Seeing him speak, Chen Ying quickly went ashore and turned on the camera to record.

People in the nearby pools also looked at the little white dragon curiously, saying that the little white dragon could sing, and they had to see it with their own ears and eyes.

"Ah, wow, come on behalf of the pendulum, Nudai Kuranla, wow, wow, Oupi, is it in the middle of the swing..."

"Wow!" Several men and women in the pool shouted excitedly, "Little Bailong can really sing Lisu songs!"

Experts were not surprised to hear that he sang Lisu songs. Xiao Bailong is so talented that he seems to be able to sing a few songs from every ethnic group.

Qin Huai was smiling and full of talent. He could pick out a few songs at random.

A group of elder sisters looked at him without turning their eyes. Not only could they sing, they also sang very beautifully!

Qin Kong was relieved, the little white dragon had attracted all the attention!

Chen Ying was wearing a bathrobe, and the camera was focused on Xiao Bailong.

After He Huan finished singing a section, a girl couldn't help but continue singing.

Chen Ying looked up from behind the camera and looked over inquiringly. Liang Ange asked the girl gently, "Can I film it?"

The girl nodded shyly.

"Can it be filmed?" He Huan asked other people and explained, "We are doing a music variety show, which may be broadcast on TV. If you say no, we will not film it."

Everyone was wearing underwear and underwater, and the steam curled up from the water, which was quite hazy and beautiful.

Everyone nodded.

After getting everyone's consent, Chen Ying stood behind the camera attentively.

The girl continued to sing, and then sang with Xiao Bailong again.

In addition, several people in the pool couldn't help but have itchy throats and sang together.

He Huan looked at them with a smile and welcomed them to join.

After singing, Liang Ange's eyes sparkled, "It's different from the folk songs I've heard. It's so fashionable and modern!"

"This is a classic Lisu song. The songs of the canyon people are very nice, so they are called canyon natural sounds!" He Huan looked at them and praised them, making them very happy.

"It's really the sound of nature!" Liang Ange said curiously, "But what does it mean to sing? Su Su's voice really suits your voice!"

"It's a pity." He Huan said, "I don't know what I sang either."

A group of older ladies laughed.

Liang Ange looked at the girl singing with Xiao Bailong again, "Do you know what it means?"

"Well..." the girl thought hard for a moment, "it's about a girl and a guy who met in a hot spring and fell in love with each other. Hahahaha..." the girl laughed happily.

Several pools burst into laughter.

He Huan said with a smile: "Because they all lived in the mountains before, especially since there was no bridge on the Nu River before, and the barriers of mountains and canyons made it difficult for everyone to meet.

So during the Spring Festival, men, women and children will gather here to meet relatives and friends. It is also Valentine's Day, and young men and women will sing to each other in the bathhouse to express their love. Therefore, it is called the Hot Spring Love Song."

Liang Ange nodded.

"The Hot Spring Love Song is very long, so it is not easy to translate. A Lisu version was once published, and it is a long poem of 147,000 words!"

"ah!"

He Huan said: "It is divided into three parts. What we just sang is only the encounter part, and there is a second part.

It was at the hot spring singing party the next year that the two met again, confided in each other how much they missed each other, and then fell in love. This was at least tens of thousands of words in harmony.

Then in the third year at the hot spring singing party, the two met again, and they sang together again. Finally, they got married, and they both returned to the same home, and they sang together again.

It narrates the love story of a pair of Lisu young people who met, fell in love and finally got married at an annual hot spring singing party. This is a love novel."

"147,000 words! Oh my god!" Liang Ange held his face in his hands, "All my songs combined don't even have that many words!"

Everyone laughed.

Liang Ange looked at them, "You guys are so awesome! One song has more than 100,000 words! Oh my god!"

The big brothers and sisters were very happy to be praised.

"So this song has many arias and can be sung for many days. It is the theme song of the bathhouse party."

"It's amazing! More than 100,000 words!"

"Setting time, setting time, is to chat in the form of singing. For someone like me who talks a lot, I can still talk hundreds of thousands of words."

"Hahaha..." A group of people clapped their hands and laughed, causing a splash of water on the surface of the pool.

"The Lisu people had a language but no writing before. The current writing was originally created by missionaries who wrote Latin backwards for the convenience of preaching and created a simple writing for them."

“Missionaries work really hard to preach!”

"Yes."

"After the liberation, it was supplemented and compiled, but not many people understand Lisu script. After all, education is now compulsory, and learning Chinese characters begins at the age of seven.

The older generation basically cannot speak Chinese, but the younger generation can basically speak Chinese characters, and some of them cannot speak Lisu.

Between two languages, if you don’t know both languages ​​well, it will be more difficult to translate.”

Liang Ange looked at the language experts in the pool next to him, "We must collect and translate these long songs of more than 100,000 words. I am particularly curious about what the 100,000-word songs are about."

The experts nodded.

The little white dragons all sang their songs, and the elder brothers and sisters in several pools let go, no need to invite them, and couldn't help but sing their national songs.

The experts listened and beat the beat, and Liang Ange followed them word for word.

The language of the canyon people is really nice to sing, and it is not the high-pitched folk song that everyone thinks of. Maybe it is the river that makes their pronunciation very melodious.

Experts consulted them in the pool and discussed their language and music with them.

We sang and chatted for a while, it was also a hot spring bath, and men and women were bathing together. Even they didn't wear swimsuits, just wearing underwear. But everyone was very harmonious and natural.

There is no awkward and confusing spider cave atmosphere like in the hot spring town club.

This world is open and bright, we can talk and sing with each other honestly.

The fiery sun sets across the Gaoligong Mountains, and the fiery red kapok trees still bloom quietly beside the green Nu River.

If there are new songs, I will add them to the playlist. If you are interested, you can listen to them.
Chapter completed!
