historical origin
It is understood that since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of immigrants have moved from Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Shaanxi and other areas, bringing with them the culture and art of their homeland. On the basis of the integration of Hebei folk songs, Shanxi Dayangge, Shandong Express Board Books and Shanbei Xintianyou vocabulary and form, they have absorbed some elements of Mongolian long tune, thus producing a mountain climbing tune with local artistic style. The mountain climbing tune, which is popular in Wuchuan County, is characterized by its long melody, large interval beating, and its singing style is divided into indoor and outdoor.

The music of mountain climbing tune is mostly high and rugged. Its tunes are often named after its popular areas, such as "Hetao Tune", "Houtao Tune", "Tumochuan Tune", "Daqingshan Tune", "Yimeng Tune" and "Helu Tune". The structure of the song is short and changeable. The basic structure of the song is composed of eight sections of the above two phrases. Most of the two phrases are changeable and repetitive, and some even completely invariable. In order to enhance performance, it often uses lining, stacking or slowing down the pace, broadening the rhythm and other techniques, so that the length of the sentence is extended and the structure is expanded. Some tunes are over a dozen bars long, while others turn a sentence into two sentences and develop into a structure of change with the nature of a Fuyue paragraph.
The tunes of mountain climbing tune are mostly five tones or six tones, followed by Shang and feather tunes. The melody and rhythm of the song vary from place to place.

Because the western Inner Mongolia and the northwest of Shanxi are adjacent to each other, the mountain-climbing tune popular in the western Inner Mongolia is closely related to the mountain-qu popular in the northwest of Shanxi. The tune of Mongolian folk songs is often included in the mountain climbing tune of the mixed Mongolian and Han areas in this area.
Mountain climbing tune often uses such techniques as comparison and exaggeration. The most commendable is the improvisation of the singer. He sings whatever he thinks of, what he sees, where he goes, and what he sings is symmetrical and rhymed. The Lyric language is mostly vernacular reduplication words, which is particularly cordial and vivid, with a smart and humorous artistic style, moving heart, and strong mountain flavor.

This is a mountain climbing tune in Western Inner Mongolia. From West to east, there are more than a thousand miles of Yinshan Mountains. Under the foothills, Mongolian and Han people work in agriculture and animal husbandry in their own ways, and form their own music traditions. The "mountain climbing tune" is mainly sung by the Han people. Because of the differences in the spreading areas and singing styles, it can be divided into "front mountain tune" and "back mountain tune". The spread of Qianshan Diao is mainly in Bayannaoer League and Ikezhao League. Its tone is influenced by Mongolian long tone, and its melody stretches for a long time. The spread scope of "Houshan Dialect" is centered on Wuchuan of Ulan Chabu League, also known as "Wuchuan Dialect". It is generally the structure of upper and lower sentences. The JUMP-in tone type is more common in the tone, with a high and bold style and a strong wild atmosphere. On the whole, the lyrics of northern love songs are more straightforward and clear, while those of Southern love songs are more implicit. But there are many examples to the contrary. Such as this song, it expresses the feelings of the girl, it is much more implicit, let us immediately think of Sichuan's "When does the Sophora Blossom Blossom?" "Yangpo (refers to the sun) burns a fire when it falls, because she pushes the firewood to her elder brother." The background is clear, the theme is clear, and the action is strong, but there is no straightforward saying; "Seeing the village without a person, see the smoke and dust on the smokestack" is more implicit, only Noda village and smoking silent smokestack, people and scenery melt into a slightly sad scene; "Red Danyang Po Lanyin" In the clouds, my brother's tears were not seen. The contrast between the beauty of the scenery and the gloom of the mood profoundly showed the protagonist's near despair. This is a "expectation map" that fills every corner with emotion. Its generality, profundity and vividness have reached a high level. The tune is a typical upper and lower sentence structure. Both sentences are wide, long and singing. The general trend of the two phrases is from high to low. Especially in the first sentence, crown sounds appear at the beginning of the two phrases, which seem to gather a great push force, and then gradually "release". The JUMP-in pattern at the end of the sentence seems to deliberately "push" onto the feather sound to form an urgent "half" termination, which is a common technique of "mountain climbing tune". Long-term singing practice makes singers have a kind of "intuitive feeling": in terms of the response relationship between the upper and lower sentences, the main tone and its upper fifth degree are the most tensive. Therefore, in the upper and lower sentences folk songs in Northwest China, the fifth degree relationship is the most common, and the second is the fourth or other intervals.
Researcher
Liu Wenzhong, a member of Inner Mongolia Writers Association, a member of China Network Literature Association, an educational researcher and a famous writer and poet, has made a lot of research on mountain climbing tune, Ertai and Shanqu.

Inheritance Significance
The theme of mountain climbing tune is very extensive and all-embracing. The main content is to reflect the life, thoughts and feelings, national and local folk customs, customs and human feelings of the working people in the local rural pastoral areas. Most of the expressions use metaphors, symbols, analogies, associations, repetitions, overlaps and exaggerations to convey their feelings. The lyrics are rich in local flavor and belong to authentic original ecological art. However, in recent years, with the rise of popular culture, the mountain climbing tune has been severely impacted, especially the death of Zhang Eryinhu and other older singers, which makes the mountain climbing tune singers in Wuchuan County appear green and yellow. In order to inherit, protect and excavate this intangible cultural heritage, Wuchuan County, with the strong support of the higher authorities, has invested a lot of manpower and material resources. Sports departments have gone to the grass-roots level for many times to select and counsel folk singers, and held a grand prix for two consecutive years with the Hushi Cultural Bureau. A number of excellent singers such as Wusanjun and Liang Laoyou have been excavated, which laid a solid foundation for the excavation, sorting, collection and inheritance of mountain climbing tunes.
