A Comparative Study Of The Niufu Drum Wind Music Band For Entertaining Gods And People In Shangdang Area

As the most common phenomenon in our country's rural life,Drum Wind Music has changed a lot from ancient times to the present.From the initial concentration to now,it has been spread all over the country and has its living space everywhere.Yuehu a special group in Chinese history,have a low status,but they shoulder a heavy responsibility.They have inherited the excellent traditional music of our country to this day.For historical reasons,Shanxi is a province where Yuehu is relatively concentrated.In the Shangdang area where I live,the descendants of Yuehu are still inheriting the traditional skills.The author divides the article into four chapters to make a comparative analysis of entertaining gods and entertaining people.The first chapter mainly introduces the basic situation of Shangdang Drum Wind Music,and discusses the living environment and the existing situation of Niufu Drum Music Band,including the orchestra establishment,personnel,music score and so on.The two chapter mainly discusses the ritual function of Niufu Drum Music Band Society in carrying out ritual activities,and introduces the ritual functions of entertainment gods to worship throat gods and funerals to entertain people.The third chapter mainly discusses the ritual process of sacrificing throat gods and funerals,and makes a comparative analysis of the two rituals,and finds out the similarities and differences between them.The four chapter compares the similarities and differences of music selection,vocal choices and band selection in sacrificing throat gods and funerals.This article takes the five rites as the background and the ritual function as the breakthrough point,and chooses two cases separately.By comparing the ritual,music and sound of the two cases,the author summarizes the similarities and differences between them,and puts forward the viewpoint that "entertaining gods and entertaining people is both separated and integrated".At the same time,I hope that through this paper,more people can understand our traditional etiquette,which is also the significance of this paper.
