Mountain climbing tune is mainly popular in which area of China?

Mountain climbing tune is mainly popular in Inner Mongolia.

Mountaineering Tune is a traditional short-tune folk song popular in agricultural and semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas in central and western Inner Mongolia, and it is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. Mountain climbing songs can be traced back to the Qianlong and Jiaqing years in Qing Dynasty, when a large number of Han immigrants from Shanxi, Hebei, Shaanxi and Henan were recruited. During the Xianfeng period, successive years of famine and war prompted a large number of Han people from Shanxi and Shaanxi to move to Daqingshan for settlement.

Immigrants brought folk songs from their hometown to Inner Mongolia. After long-term exchanges and collisions, they finally formed a mountain climbing tune that integrated the characteristics of folk songs from Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shandong, and absorbed ethnic music elements such as Mongolia, Hui and Manchu. It is based on the simple dialect and the musical elements of Mongolian long tune, and the creative process is collective and belongs to oral singing, so it is changeable, circulated in the local area and sung for a long time.

On June 7th, 2008, the Mountain Climbing Tune declared by Hohhot and Urad Qianqi in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was approved by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the State Council, and included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, with project number: II-9 1.

Historical origin:

Mountain climbing has a long history. For hundreds of years, it has been sung mainly in mountain ridges and gullies, farmhouses and road cottages. The singer is either a shepherd, a car shepherd, or a farmer and village girl in the field.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, that is, during the Qianlong and Jiaqing years, the Central Plains culture brought by Han immigrants from Shanxi, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shandong and Henan collided and exchanged with the minority cultures of local herders, forming a complement, and then the national cultures merged from Daqingshan to Hetao. This integration process is a long process, and it is a process for Han immigrants to adapt to the environment, language, customs, production and life.

In the late Qing Dynasty, with the invasion of foreign powers and natural disasters in China, the number of local immigrants surged. As a result, thousands of these so-called westerners have settled here and prospered. At the same time, after hundreds of years of complete integration, these two or more cultures have produced new forms of literary expression, and mountaineering tune is one of the representatives of this new cultural form.
