Growth experience

In 1906, Mao Yihan was born in a poor Mongolian herdsman's family in wulijimuren Sumu, Zhalute banner, Zhelimu League, Inner Mongolia (today's Tongliao City). Because of his poor family, he was adopted to his uncle's home and raised by him. Mao Yihan's aunt is a famous local folk artist. She is good at singing and dancing and can play huqin. Under the influence of his aunt, he had a strong interest in folk art, learned a lot of beautiful folk songs, and initially mastered the skills of Sihu performance, which laid the foundation for his future rap art. At the age of 6, Mao Yihan was able to perform Horeb and uliger (Storytelling). Later, thanks to the famous folk artist labha as a teacher, he tried to memorize the words and learn the playing skills, and his performance level has greatly improved. From the age of 16, Mao Yihan followed his aunt to perform in nearby villages. During the reign of the Kuomintang, Mao Yihan composed and sang works such as "hateful official rich man" and "hypocritical society" to express his resentment and injustice. The main forms of his performance are Hollywood and folk songs, and the classical works of Han nationality are also the materials for his adaptation and singing. Since then, while herding and farming, Mao Yihan has been popular with the local people by singing for the local people. In order to survive, he soon began to perform wandering. In addition to the traditional rap bibliography, he created such rap works as "Li Mi", "hate", "rich", "gurimu Lama", "false world", "four seasons" and "ugly woman". In his youth, Mao Yihan learned from folk storytellers such as gretek Dugar and genden, and tried to improve his performance. Most of Mao Yihan's works, such as a handful of rice, the rich man and the corrupt official, show sympathy for the poor farmers and herdsmen and expose the social darkness.

Earlier in 2002, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Pajie, a master of Mongolian quyi, chaoketu and Chen GANGLONG published their academic monograph research on Pajie, which also won the Sixth China National Book Award. Both maoyihan study and Pajie study are monographic works of Mongolian folk artists.
